lara- hang in there, like I said in Alana's thread, jessica has been in a similar eating situation, of course it is way more important with Alana, but I too was stressed, just keep trying, and eventually things will improve.
I have a Jolly jumper (there are others similar, my gf has this sort of chair instead of the tie on sort that I have), my kids each used it a little, jessica esp more than the others. It puts the weight on the legs and they do get stronger I think from using them, it is recommended no more than 5-10mins a day I think. Kellee is right you can get a frame or put a hook in the roof, just screw it into a supporting beam. I don't like walkers, I think they are sort of dangerous esp if you have uneven floor surfaces, like slate or stairs or even a lip up from the lounge to the kitchen, the kids can tip the walker and get really hurt. Plus cos the kids practically sit it isn't supposed to be that good, cos that's not how you walk. But it's up to you to choose something you think you will use.
Kellee- it is funny how the Michelle's can't stay away, maybe somehting about the name. Sounds like you were flat out all weekend, great that the gig went well, bummer they didn't record it. I guess it is hard for people who don't have kids when babysitting, and maybe they didn't take everything in that you told them! maybe next time write down some stuff for them to look at!
We got Arron's mum to babysit and went to the 21st, which was ok, not a super night but a night out nevertheless. The sister of the boy is in childcare and Arron was talking to her and sussing her out for babysitting, so we'll see what happens next week. Arron reckons the draw isn't on Sat night, I am just going by what the girls are saying and Arron never seems to know what's going on. I will have to ask around. My gf was really annoyed on Sunday, cos we left at about 12.15am and I didn't even say see ya, cos the taxi was there and we just jumped in. Anyway, she teed up a lift with our nextdoor neighbour. So at about 1pm the neighbour went and got in her car. My gf and her dh were walking out to go and chatting as they went. they were standing at the botom of the stairs and then the girl who was giving them a lift drove straight past them and left them there, she didn't even stop and say are you coming or anything, so they didn't get home until about 3am. that made me feel bad cos we should have taken them in the taxi with us. Oh well next time.
Michelle- I so hope you don't get too sick, there is nothing worse! Hope you get to see Shane Crawford, he went to Assumption college here in Kilmore and my neighbour when I was younger loved him too, but she soon found out how arrogant he was. I really don't like him at all, but that's ok, you can!LOL lani is starting to pop teeth all over! I hope that you had a lovely dinner yesterday with you parents and remembered Jessi in your own special way. Hugs to you all
We had Josh's bday party for his 3 friends yesterday and my house was trashed at the end, they had a good time though and it only cost me about $40 so that's ok. I have spent all morning cleaning and Mum is bringing us subway for lunch so now I don;'t have togo the the supermarket, and she is paying for the subway so that's even better.
jessica is going very well, gaining confidence everyday with her walking and taking off all over the place. Where has my baby gone? I finally rang the drs and got my pill prescription, cos Arron is starting to stress. I mentioned vasectomy again today and he is non responsive, which I am sorta happy with cos we are still both very young. I am sort of happy for him to wait till he's about 35 and then....I don't want to take the pill for ever iykwim.
