Good Evening....
Had a nice arvo here with my BIL/SIl and their kids playing in tke lake with Beau - feeding the pelicans and our jack russells scaring them off! Good to have our family (fur babies) all re-united now although Beau tried to pick one of the dogs up by its neck before.....
Mel - I think still.....how hard is it to change her nappy before a nap? Gosh - it would p me right off - definately confront her - you are paying for a service after all. Makes me wonder how she got her impetigo in the first place? Let us know how you go. As for the little mean boy......ick. Have a good night watching your footy,
Kris - Good luck hon! Glad the boys were happy with there new digs - I hope Beau's appetite picks up - I think he is having too much milk still thats why he is disinterested in food as such. Unless its eggs, cheese, risotto, yoghurt or vegemite he isnt interested really.
Ok Beau is asleep, DH is doing something with his new fishing rod so I am onto the Ikea website to create my wishlist!
Jen- your place sounds just lovely. Yep I am paying for her services and a bum change would be nice! I will confront her, I want and explanation...she only has 4 kids to deal with all day!
Well- looks like someone has taken my dear child and swapped her. Loads of tanties, breakfast was a nightmare, she grabbed her food and squeezed it hard then threw it. threw her water, squashed banana! Shes super clingy, wouldnt let go of me last night when we went and saw her little cousins...and really hard to get dressed, so much so dh cracked it with her and walked off!!!!
At least she slept ok, fingers crossed.
Anyway, hope all is well with everyone. Today I am making lemon chicken in the slow cooker and its a reasonably nice day so we might do some gardening...all pending on little miss!!!!
Mel, isn't it just gorgeous! The day that is.
Yerk on the bumrash. Definately sounds like a dirty bum slept in. Our CC has woken PIp for a bumchange and then tell us that's why he's only had a half hour sleep (he sometimes won't settle back down) but I'm OK with that! Better than bumrash!
Kris - sounds like the boys may not stress too much at the move (here's hoping)
Jen - poor puppy! Pip's also a bit weird at the mo. Picky with his food.
Us - strange sleeping habits. Didn't get him to sleep until 10pm on Friday night (my fault, I took him to Knox) and then the slept until 10am Saturday, then napped from 1pm till 6pm and last night slept from about 8:30 until 9am this morning. I have a feeling he's eaten a 5c coin as he keeps screaming when he needs to do a poo - not sure what to do here - plus no poos yesterday - erk.
We had a gorgeous day yesterday...the weather was so nice and we had a bbq for my mums b'day so chilled out in the arvo at my brothers house while the kids played. Dh was still moving and got heaps of stuff done...I've got heaps of packing to get done today though and need to get some food...mums cleaned the oven so I'm going to avoid that for the week which is more difficult than I though! LOL! It's getting very exciting now - I can't believe we'll be in our new house on Friday! This house looks like a bombs hit it though but I suppose it can't be avoided at the moment...
Oh and I woken up with the kids cold...grrr...it's not too bad though - well at least it's not the flu!
Mel - I hope Olivia's on the mend...It's a hard call with child care...There are definitely pro's and cons - you can only choose whats right for you! Hmm maybe she's going through a bit of a developmental spurt as well? I know Dylan definitely is - he's words are increasing so much and he's "whats that" about everything...at the same time he's had some bad sleep (settled down now) and has passed out twice in the last week with his temper tantrums (after not doing it for ages)
LOL - an adventure is right! It's definitely starting to feel this way...we've got to get the carpets cleaned in the new house so we might all be sleeping on the tiles in the famiy room when we move! LOL!
Hope you got some gardening done!
Jen - Sounds like you had a gorgeous day! Hmm how much milk is Beau still having? That may not be helping...Dylan only has a cup of milk with his lunch now and usually a few mouthfuls before bed although I'm not even going to bother with that soon as he eats so much dinner he doesn't need it...they only need about 3 or so serves of dairy now I think it is...
Kaz - Wow - maybe pips having a spurt as well with all that sleep! Poor thing with his poo's....hope it resolves itself soon...
Well, better get myself organised or I'll get nothing done today!
Mel, Ouch on Liv's bum rash. I can understand why you're upset. It's bad enough knowing she's in pain, but it sounds like it could have been easily avoided by the carer too. Poor little thing. Is it healing? I don't know what I'd do in your situation. I'm lucky that my mum has Ben all week and she spends SO much one on one time with him - more than I do when he's with me
Kris, Yay, your move is so close now! I'm glad the boys really liked the place, that will make things go a lot smoother. Ben's vocab is amazing now. "That?" is his favourite saying. He wants to know the name for EVERYTHING. I'm guessing it's a precursor to "Why?" in a couple of years
Kaz, I have no idea what you should do about the 5cent coin! Ouch! Maybe if you haven't had a poo yet a trip to the doc might be on the cards. I don't know what they'd be able to do, but I'm sure they'd have some ideas.
Jen, yay on having your family back together! Ben's eating has been totally bizarre lately too. He will have days where he hardly eats anything and then days when he eats like a pig. Last night all he would eat for dinner was carrots and bread! Weird, weird boy! He still has his beer-gut though so I'm not too worry. From what I've read, it's pretty normal at this age. As long as you keep offering a lot of different options he'll take what he needs.
Us....we're doing well. Ben's back to sleeping through the night, I'm guess it was just his allergies after all. We had a lovely, restful weekend as a family. Going to the park, working in the garden and doing the grocery shopping for the first time in a LONG time Just lovely!!!
Hope you all have wonderful, sunny days like I am having!
Disgirl - LOL at Ben still having a beer gut...I'm still working on it with Dylan..he's such a skinny thing..when he went to hospital the other week he weighted 10.8kg (with pants and nappy on) so he's pretty little I think...
Yeah at Ben sleeping through the night again! Woohoo!
Well, I've got heaps more packing to do...the boys are being super clingy with all the mayhem thats going on I think...poor dh didn't get home until nearly 8.30pm by the time he did another load after work last night...it's going to be a big week. I've got this silly cold now and by the end of yesterday my back was killing me...definitely too much lifting I think...
Oh but great news - Louis went to sleep last night without his dummy and slept through without it - first time ever! and no tears or tantrums etc...so Dylan will have a 3yo limit as well now!
Hello!
Wow it is absolutely teaming here! The dogs have been running around in it refusing to go in there bed so now they are inside with us! The rain/wind is pretty intense here on the water tho - it is a bit scary - hopefully it is cleaning all the filthy windows - there are so so many here I will never keep up!
We had a great day at the beach yesterday while DH fished off the beach - B was loving sitting in a hole with his buckets and spades - didnt like the water much but!
Beau is having his nap - he seems a bit better today, DH has gone to Sydney for my Ikea stuff - I think sometimes he is better when he is one on one with me beacuse thats what he is used to? Although he loves his da to bits!
Dis - Way to go getting some sleep - Beau has his little pot belly still too - I love it now here because he is always in boardies and a singlet or not much so I can see his cute little body! After all the winter layers!
Mel- How did you go with the daycare?
Kaz - Any 5cent peice poos yet? We showed B the other day how to put the coins in his piggy bank (no 5cent peices tho after your story!)
Kris - Take it easy on your back - you will get there....take aways take aways! Stuff the oven! I have been meaning to ask you - are you a way away from Cranbourne - I have seen on the news about some smell problems there at the moment? You are in Cranbourne North arent you? i always half miss every news story since having a bubba!
Mmm Beau has too much milk still - I am trying to make it less all the time but he takes the bottle to bed (he finishes it fast tho) so.....he loves cheese and yoghurt too so he gets heaps and heaps of dairy
Hey Kel hope you are doing ok and feeling better
Its so quiet in here.... hey Kel- glad lils sleeping better for you. Hows it going with 2????
Kris- good luck on the move.
Jen Mel and Kaz- hello...i was writing a post the other day but Olivia crashed my party, so had to leave it!!!
Well I spoke to the lady about Olivias bum rash the other day and she said she forgot to mention it because Adam was there on Friday arvo and it distractered her...she thinks he is hot!!!!....shes 60 not out and has made a few comments on dh!!! obviously he was a major distraction. So she tells me she hadnt left her in a nappy, just after a poo it had become red. Anyway I still think Olivia slept in, but never mind, I have almost cleared it. So I take Olivia back to childcare on Thursday and she is a bit sooky when another kid taps her on the face. By the time I got back in the arvo to pick her up, the lady says shes seen kids like Olivia and thinks that she would be best to be out of cc when the new bubs arrives. Dh and I think she just cant handle her sensitivity. When Olivia started, she only had another boy to look after, now she has another 2 younger than Olivia. So thismorning I gave her notice and will be taking her out of cc from th 17th of October. Makes me feel a lot more relaxed and happier. i will have to get used to not having those spare days to clean and do bookwork, just means I have to organise myself or let those things go on the back burner for a bit. If Olivia is ok, we might look at popping her in ocassional care once a week...next year.
Wow.....feel so much better! On that note, i must get organised. Am pretty much done, just need to clean and service the car. Oh and sleep! Olivias eye teeth are being terrible and she is waking in pain. Last night I had to rock her to sleep and that took her a while. I have bad hip pain....pelvis must be opening up. Ok, better go. Have a great day all,
