Wow, can't believe the first of our babies are now 1!! Eeeek!
Renee - I so hope you have some more Christmases with your Mum...I like the other girls, am so sorry to hear about her tumour! Wow, your school situation sounds very interesting. You sound like a very caring & inspiring teacher...well done! So glad to hear that you went out and watched those other children with disabilities and how they interacted and learnt. Isn't it amazingly sad the assumptions that people make about special children? If some of the 'normal' children out there could only have the intelligence, beautiful manners & happy-go-lucky nature that so many downs kids have.... Thanks also for the compliment about the Pooh clothes I sent to another BB member. I love doing little things like that; and I believe firmly that what comes around goes around. I have been blessed by many of the BB girls and loved being able to do it for someone else.
Meg - That is so cute about Tilly wanting a photo with Coco & Santa! Sad that she no longer believes (I firmly believe that children have so few things to believe in these days that it's so sad when they grow up and realise that another thing is gone? Does that make sense?) Do you have anything special planned for tomorrow for little Coco's birthday? Maybe a cake with dinner?
Tiff - Wow, certainly a lot happening in the world of Noah & Ivy! Have they given you a time frame for some of these things that are supposed to be happening? I understand the grommets thing...I had my adnoids removed & grommets put in at 18 months old. *L* They were supposed to fall out in a year, they fell out 12 years later! *LOL* What are the scratch tests & epi pens for? I thought epi-pens were kept for emergencies to deal with severe allergic reactions like nut allergies & bee stings? OH and *LMAO* at the image you just gave me of Noah sitting on Santa's lap and ripping off his beard only to have the mega-long line of little kiddies waiting for their turn burst into tears!
Kate - {{{{{huggles}}}} You poor thing...I can't imagine what you've had to deal with trying to take care of an almost 1-yr old and attempting to manage a bout of migraines! When is your appointment with the second-opinion doctor? Good on you for being really proactive and not taking one doctor's word for it...if my friend in Canada had done so, we would have lost her. Listen to your body and never settle when you feel uneasy about something. How is gorgeous little Jasmine going? I forgot to mention ages ago how much I love your ticker photo too.
Sarajo - OMG you have such a gorgeous little girl! SO jealous of that outfit...I've been thinking about going out and getting Maddy a Christmas t-shirt & Santa hat and after seeing everyone's photos of their kids in various Christmassy outfits I think I'm definately going to have to! *L*
Missy - How're you going? *LOL* I tried Maddy on weet-bix this morning and seriously, you would have thought I was trying to poison her. She spat it everywhere and then refused to open her mouth. Honestly, she looked incredulous! *L* She did however chow down on a banana and then had her porridge & some toast. How's your little man going? Callum is truly going to be a heartbreaker too!
Oh, I'm catching up with Leanne & Drew again tomorrow! *happy dance* I'll be so nice to see them, can't wait for Drew & Maddy to spend some more time together! Has anyone heard from Christie? I've been thinking about her, as it doesn't seem that long until her 2nd bub must be due? Is baby no.2 due in February or March?
Nothing much happening here...Maddy is down for a nap and she's actually silent. God knows she's probably up to something! *L* My PILs came back yesterday which is lovely. We're off to Yum Cha for my birthday next Wednesday...Meg wish you could be here as I always think of you when I think of Yum Cha!
Hugs to our other girlies, Sami, Jillian, Yael, Rach, Melly and I just know I've forgotten people!
