Hey girls, as per usual my post will start with an apology that I'm hardly around! Sorry :/

I've just read back a few pages, will try to remember what I wanted to say!

Alicia - wow the fires got so close to your parents. I hope everything turned out ok. Sorry to hear you know of people who lost everything.

Nic - OMG. So sad to hear of that little girl. How tragic Hope the funeral isn't too sad. I would want to have any photos that anyone had too.

Hoody - I saw on FB that your car was broken into. It's such a horrible feeling isn't it, and I can't believe they took all the kid stuff.

Lori - congrats on your pg! How exciting! I saw your thread about coping with two, I'm sure you'll do just fine. You just do what you gotta do, you'll find it all works out in the end I used to stress about the logistics of dealing with 2, but I just tried to stop thinking about it, and just dealt with things as they came up. You can't plan for every scenario in advance iykwim. I found I didn't need to 'entertain' DS whilst feeding DD, you know how people say to have snack boxes or special toys for the toddler during feeding time. I never needed anything like that. We're a pretty laid back house, so the feeding etc just fitted in somehow. Congrats again, glad to hear you're starting to feel excited about it all

Well, Tallon starts preschool on Monday. Not sure how he's going to go. We've visited a few times now, and he seems quite comfortable there, but me leaving him there on his own is going to be a different story I think. He knows that when he starts preschool properly that mummy isn't going to stay with him. I'm wondering if him knowing this is what's made him regress a bit with separation from me. The last 2 swimming lessons he's just been so terribly upset and wanting me (I now swim with Kayla in her lesson at the other end of the pool) so I'm almost dreading Monday now. I thought he was really ready, but now I'm starting to wonder. Oh well, if he's really distressed by it after a few weeks he doesn't HAVE to go, I can pull him out and try again later. He talks quite excitedly about it and we list all the different things he'll be doing at preschool and he seems ok with it all, so I guess we just wait & see.

In Kayla-land, we're teething still I think and getting a cold so have had a rough couple of nights. Hopefully this is the last teething for a while. She's cutting all 4 eye-teeth (think they're eye teeth). They're the only one's left to come through anyway now until the 2yr old molars I think. She's got such a funny little personality these days too, so adorable. Should update some photos.

Ok, well I'm going to go. Seems DH wants me to play guitar hero with him LOL.
