thanks for the sympathy everyone; Mylo's leg is healing really well thanks nic, i don't think it's hurting him at all. it's scabbed over nicely and he'd let me know if it was ouchy to touch.

Haroula, glad melbourne has cooled down, we'll be there friday for a week. i guess better pack everything - umbrellas, winter coats, sunscreen, bikini, etc... a bit like brizzy at the moment. sorry to hear you have lost the battle of the boob, i feel like, as a group, we supported you more to go on to formula than we did to persevere with breastmilk... and for that i'm sorry. o well, live and learn.

today was playgroup and i couldn;t bear to miss it, even tho it was raining and we didn'tn have a car or pram (both DH took to work), so i put mylo in the bb sling and olly put on his shoes (the ones that wer'ent in the car, or in the bath) and we walked up the hill to the busstop, and fromthe busstop to playgroup (and back again). he managed a 10 minute walk each way without asking to be carried or letting go of my hand. and didn't run off while we waited for the bus, even tho he wanted to. it took alot of encouragement and engaging him with silly games/songs etc to get him there and back safely, but we did it without any tears. I'm so proud of him, he's all grown up at 2!
