Welcome back PP! Glad you guys had fun! Hope your wrist gets better. Rest up! Balance bikes are ace - you can get them here without importing. We got the WeeRide model for my nephew and it has been perfect. We're not sure if Eleanor will be ready for it at this year's birthday, so thought we would wait until next year. We're a bit bike mad in this house, so it's a must-have.
Jules - asking me to choose a favourite carrier is like making someone choose a favourite child! I love both the Ergo and the mei tai. (and my other 5 carriers ) If I could only have one, it would probably be the Ergo. The mei tai is very cool and comfortable, and it packs up nice and small, but the Ergo is quicker to put on and easier for DH to use. And we've been able to use it since birth. We had a 3 month period where we couldn't use the MT because of the body length.
charlotte - I am SO over househunting! I feel like we will never find the right place. Hope you get yours, and get yourselves a good loan.
EJ - I struggle heaps with 220 too. We love organic dried apricots here, I ate a stupid amount of them while pregnant. Nellie tried a non-organic one on the weekend at a party (an older kid gave it to her, and I thought I'd just see how she went) She quite liked it, and it seems to have had a positive effect on the solid waste department, so we'll have to go and find some. Slippery elm is awesome, we get it from the same shop Yay for quilting. I am planning a memory quilt wit favourite clothes from Eleanor's first year.
Eleanor has her own little handbag, with a wallet and phone and set of keys. It is the top number 1 favourite thing right now. Mine too, because it means she leaves mine alone! She tried to pull herself up today - on the toilet! Will have to come up with a new plan for when I go in there.
Looks like DH will have to be away for Nell's first birthday He hardly ever travels, and this is something he just has to do. We are thinking about what to do. He will be in Sydney for the actual day, so we can go down to join him there, no problems, and we might have a party a week earlier or something. Or later. Or not at all. Our Brissie friends won't care much, I don't think. And I just want him to be with us on the day, to celebrate making it through her first year.
I am definitely not on top of the mummy gig today! The place looks like a bomb has hit, DH had a tour de france party on the weekend, while we stayed elsewhere. And then on to a yellow jersey party of course! Ah well. Hubby can help with cleanup tonight. At least dinner is cooked (thank you MamaBake!)
