Hi girls!

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!
