Mel, don't you love that they can now open the fridge? Actually, once I put the Tim Tams out of reach, Ben's been pretty good It's even quite handy now that he can go and get his milk out of the fridge while I'm feeding Jared.

Maple Syrup Urine Disease is apparently pretty rare. It means that you are unable to break down amino acids and can cause some pretty serious damage. I'm not really concerned as Jared isn't showing any of the symptoms, but it's still niggling away in the back of my mind.

We had a great night last night! Ben went down to bed after I read him a book. I left him with his book and he went off to sleep by himself. Then, Jared was fast asleep by 10:30 after a pretty unsettled day. We were up once in the night for a feed and then back to bed until 7am with Ben getting up at 7:30. Much better! I even did the washing up and mopped the kitchen floor (with Jared in the Hug A Bub) this morning. Quite an achievement considering I've done basically no housework since the little one was born (or even before he was born actually!). The sun is even out at the moment after a week of rain. Don't know how long it will last though, I don't think I'll risk the washing on the line outside.

Happy Monday all!
