2 please - have a great time on the Great Ocean road. If you go far enough you could come and visit me! (mental note - must change my location status on here now that we have moved!). We took DD to the beach for the first time a couple of weeks ago and she wasn't a fan at all. I am sure when they get used to the beach they will love it though! This weather sure is bad - I moved over here to avoid the horrible Perth summer and it looks like I have brought it with me! I hope Tara goes well at kinder.

bronzdbebe - welcome! A pirate party sounds like a great idea. I have no idea about weaning as DD is showing no signs of giving up the boob any time soon. Does he like cows milk? I am kinda hoping when I want to wean I can just replace one feed at a time with cows milk, and hey presto, she will be weaned! Probably not that easy though...

prama - great idea on the farm theme cake, make sure you put up pics!

jen - wow on remembering that Amber and I share the same birthday! I am trying to find a bowl to bake a cake in that is the right shape for the ladybird cake but haven't found one yet. I need to have a practice run before the big day so I hope I find one soon!

esme - I like the idea of having cupcakes shaped together to make a 1, that way you can have different cakes to suit any individual needs, plus there are some really good cupcake ideas out there.

I agree with everyone re the playgroup times - we are going to brave playgroup at 10am tomorrow anyway which is right on nap time, but we will see how we go. I need to get out and meet some new mums here before I go completely stir crazy!
