Mooshie – I was thinking about you on Monday. I hope that the day wasn’t too bad for you, but I’m imagining that there’s nothing anyone can say or do to make it any easier. What a lovely idea your mum had for a gift. Bugger the in laws. What is wrong with them?!
Theresa – hope the appt went well… and btw, what a cute pic of Georgie!
Mel – hope you had a nice day at Underwater World! Bet Eliana loved the big glass tunnel thing.
Snowy – I’m the same, I reckon that Toby is much less work that Charlie. It feels like a little holiday when Charlie goes to Mum’s for the night… is that wrong?!
Christy – Charlie went through a phase about 6 months ago where he suddenly hated the bath. Would one of you feel ok getting in with her? I know it’s hard, but she’ll get through it – I never thought Charlie would grow out of it but he did. And you have sold me on the kindygym thing… anything that would make Charlie look forward to going to sleep would be a bonus! Three hours! Wow.
Nikbrad – go Mackenzie! What a big girl with her tt. Thank goodness the crayon came out of the couch! I would have freaked, I think.
Paige – bugger the fridge! Mine has a child lock on it, but it doesn’t seem to work. Just waiting for the day Charlie figures out how to open it on his own. How did Paige’s sleep go?
Well the countdown is now on until DH goes back to work. We’ll really miss him around here, I can tell you! My main concern is how I’ll get both the kids down for a sleep at the same time – Toby seems to want to go down just after lunch at exactly the same time as Charlie, so that will be interesting on my own! I’m sure I’ll be fine – I think it’s the lack of social contact I will miss most. I’m taking the plunge and going to a playgroup next week that another BBer recommended to me, although I saw when I walked past it today that it’s actually at an AOG church, so I’m a bit worried about that one but we’ll see.
Charlie has been really funny about his afternoon sleep lately. He used to be so good – after we take his toys out he used to just be happy to go to sleep after his story, but now he runs around the room like a maniac for a while. He was jumping on the bed this afternoon and everytime DH went out of the room after telling him off he just got back on there again. He only settled down after he fell off the bed and I went in and told him enough was enough. I think the only reason he fell asleep was because he was tired from crying because it hurt! I hope this doesn’t continue – any ideas? We’ve tried both ignoring it and hoping he goes to sleep on his own eventually and going in and telling him to stay in bed, both with only moderate success. It’s not too bad now, but it will probably drive me mad next week!
Anyway, better go and save my brownies – I have a rehearsal here on Friday and I always have to play the perfect hostess. Fun, but it makes me very tired. Hope you’re all well.
