Kel, that is NOT Liam in your ticker is it? Bugger about you all being sick again! I won't be one of those mum's who say "Yeah, Ben is like that too" because he totally isn't. Sure he's energetic, but he's not into everything, isn't a climber or anything like your little girl is. Think of all she must be learning though
I put sunscreen on Ben from day one. I used the Banana Boat (I think?) rollon that comes in a pink roll-on thingy. Ben has sensitive skin and gets eczma, but we never had a problem with that. DH and I are as white as they come and Ben is almost translucent so we didn't want to take any risks.

Von, how were the Wiggles, did you have a good time? Did you make it to the buffet?

Kris, my DH works night so I'm alone with Ben from midnight on most nights. It's true what Kel said, the kids sense it. Ben seems to go through rough patches waking up right when DH leaves, but gets over it in a couple of days.
Did you guys enjoy the Wiggles?

Mel, good on you for making a decision about breastfeeding. I bet you're all feeling much better about it now Has Becka's bottom cleared up totally? Is Olivia enjoying having more mummy time?

Hi Jen and Kaz!

Us, we're doing better! Ben is OVER his allergy, although he still has dark circles under his eyes and has lost so much weight. We're going to have to work on building his little beer gut back up I think. We had my dad's family Chrissy party on Saturday and although it was nice, I didn't have as much fun as I've had in the past - it was far too hot (34) and I got heartburn from lunch. Ben got some good pressies though, but after he opened the first one and saw it was something to do with Thomas, he wasn't interested in the rest! Thank God I've got him some Thomas stuff for Christmas!

He's moved into his new room and his big bed and is doing really well. We cheated a bit for a few sleeps and I'd go in and lie down next to him, but last night and this morning he's gone down by himself! He even knows that that room is now his and if you tell him to go find something in his room he goes in there and not into his old room. For bum changes I tell him to go into the baby's room and he goes into his old room Couldn't have asked for it to go any smoother!!!

We're struggling a bit to get back into a routine though, his bedtime hasn't been earlier than 9pm since he's been sick. I'm hoping tonight will be much smoother and EARLIER.

I'm pooped after a morning at the park so I'm going to see if I can catch half an hour's sleep before Buster wakes up.
