The Wiggles was great fun except they broke the big red car in the session before ours so we didn't get to see it. Monique loved seeing Wags, Henry and Dorothy and she grooved and clapped along which was really cute. She got a bit cranky and tired towards the end though. There was this boy in front of us maybe about 3 who slapped Monique's hand because she had her hand on the back of his chair (he wasn't sitting in it at the time) and then closed his fist ready to whack her and I pulled her away quick smart and he hit his mums arm. I gave him a death stare, pointed at him and said NO. Felt like a really protective mummy and would have had words to his mother had she noticed. Meanwhile the mother was giving my sister stares like why aren't you controlling your children and hers were chucking tanties, screaming and hitting my child WTF!? My poor sister had her two kids plus the little boy she cares for twice a week who is a real handful but we had them under control.

MoM - I would have been cranky if my mail was tampered with too. Did the kids get some good pressies today?

Buzzie - I had to have a giggle about Santa. I have been driving Monique by Santa for a while now but I don't think she will like him esp because she is very clingy at the moment. The Santa in our Westfield is apparently very good with the kids and tells the parents step by step what to do like put the child on my lap, don't break eye contact, smile etc. He sounds great. I'm sure Ash will get used to being away from you eventually. I'm sure we will go through the same thing in January when I go back to work We don't get our govt bonus until tax time because we don't get fortnightly payments. It should arrive soon though.

Lori - poor little Ty. Hope he is okay. I would be grossed out with the nail too. I told DH that I wasn't doing the belly button cord but we didn't have to worry about it in the end anyway. Yuk, gross me out.

Hoody - hello and welcome back. I would have been so cranky at the stoopid mum swapping the lunchbox. Blooming heck. Thank goodness she didn't eat the gingerbread man. That is so wonderful to hear that you and DH are back on track and that you are happy. The pg is going well although I am so anxious to have my scan to make sure everything is going well. It happens on 19 Dec so a week and a half away. My tummy is so big at the moment and I think my sister suspects but we are telling our families at Monique's birthday party this weekend.The all day sickness has pretty much gone which is great but I think the extra iron supplement really helps.

adkins - yippee on the walking that is a great effort for Jake. Still no walking here but Monique has finally mastered getting down on the ground after standing up instead of screaming for me to get her down.
