Ouchies! Poor Zander!
Can't believe all the hassles you've had with the railing, Sarah. How frustrating! Maybe the mattress on the floor is a good way to go? That's how Paige sleeps atm because she started climbing out of the cot.
I continue to piff baby dust your way matey....
Belinda - good job with cleaning up Mason's room. Gabby's already needs a good clean and I only did it not so long ago! She's also got the single bed in her room. Thankfully it's a big room so it fits just nicely with plenty of room for the cot. I've mainly moved the single bed in there so I can start organising Little Bee's room but the familiarity with it can't hurt. I wonder if we'll have trouble getting a railing for it also? Neil will probably devise something.... Mr. Fix-it!
Dee - sounds like you're having a hall of a time, matey. Hope the boys have relented and decided to start sleeping more. Gawd it's tough enough with 1 refusing to sleep let-alone 2! Sounds like Adrian is one healthy bubba. You don't have little children, do you?
Tanya - hope you're feeling ok and the m/s monster hasn't gotten to you too badly.
As Fi mentioned, Gab and I went back to Geelong over the weekend for various things but mainly to get measured up for material for my sister's wedding Jan next year (yes! She's very organised but has to be cos one of our sister's is off to England for 8 months). I am hoping to lose a heap of weight before the wedding but I figure too much material is better than not enough
We had a massive day on the Friday. We visited Fi and Jenna and Hamish (and I got to have HUGE cuddles with widdle Hamish - was so nice to cuddle a bubba to sleep!). Gabrielle behaved atrociously and tried to beat Jenna up with her baby-doll! SO not impressed!! Jenna was so lovely about it tho. It just showed me how Gabby is lacking in socialisation atm. Norty little scamp!
Bec and Eliza popped in too so it was GREAT to catch up with them. Eliza looked very pretty in her gorgeous dress next to my feral child with the skinned knee We had some lovely sponge cake that Fi made (where she found the time, I dunno!) and Jenna showed us some letters of the alphabet. Very clever! Gabby saw the cow and said "moo" does that count?? PMSL She was just happy to copy Jenna and point while Jenna told us the letter and the picture.
We then went to see my friend Larissa to give her DD her first birthday present. We had party food and everything! Gabby was most impressed. She was a bit feral there to but, thankfully, didn't try to beat anyone up!
We headed over to see Tash and Paige (yes... I know... way too much for one day!). Gab and Paige didn't skip a beat and played together like they always have. They just seem to gel (guess it's all the time they spent together).
We were knackered by the time we got back to Mum's. We had a tupperware party to go to the next day so even more socialisation for Miss Gab. She spent a lot of time outside which was good. She, once again, went bananas at another child (this time one older than her) because she wanted what she had. Urrgh! Please tell me this is just a phase?? I don't want her to be the child that all other children run away from! LOL
My sister took her to church on Sunday (thought it would be nice for my sis since she's off to England soon). Apparently Gabby was very well behaved and cute. She danced and sang and clapped to the music. Of course she went bananas when she got back to Mum's because my younger sister's had to go and she wanted to go with them. Gab stood at the door watching them go (screaming, mind you) and started bashing her head on the door. Deeeeelightful!
She's been better since we've been home. Still defiant but not as over-stimulated. Poor chook! We've got playgroup this morning so we'll see how she goes. I'm praying she doesn't try to beat a baby up this time.
Sarah, I see what you mean about the bed rail. I hope you don't have any more hassles with the refund. Jack will probably use his until he's 10, I'll be too scared to remove it LOL!
Deb, what a huge day. Glad to hear Gabby was good mostly. I think the hitting thing is fairly normal. Jack has made another kids cry at story time on a couple of occassions, but I think he's just trying to hug the child and is a bit too rough. I feel a bit bad telling him off as I think he means well.
Hi to everyone else, I've been so busy this week I've lost track a bit. I have had such a busy week trying to catch up after Christmas and our holiday and I've had appts for various things every day this week. And of course Jack's party is Sunday and it's my first birthday party (as hostess) so it's all a bit new to me. I've actually only been to one 2nd birthday party before and it was at a play centre so I'm not too sure what people do at home. I'm hoping the pool, sand pit, swings and toys will keep the kids occupied enough. I can't believe my little boy is going to be two on Monday. Where has the time gone?
Do you think my life will be easier on Monday once I don't have two under two anymore? LOL
Here I was panicking thinking there be opages for me to catch up on again and there`s not YAY
Deb - Your right I don`t have little children but I wish I did, my body is breaking because of these big boofas (I`m serious here), my body is only meant to have average size babies so why do I have big bubs. Wow I`m tired just reading what you`ve been up to, sounds like you had a great day with catching up with everyone LOL @ Gabby beating up everyone, Matthew has a tendency to get over excited and bite I`m always watching him and get so embarrassed if he happens to try to bite a child
LOL Melanie @ thinking your life might be easier on Monday once you don`t have 2 under 2, something for me to look forward to come early May but somehow I don`t think it will work LOL Have a great day on Sunday.
Sarah - Ouchies poor Zander. Have a great day today at the meet up.
Belinda - Yay @ your cleaning frenzy.
I took myself off to the Dr on Thursday about a few things, my arm which is still no better, pap smear and decided to start the mini pill. Anyway my arm is CTS like I thought it was, Dr is hoping once Adrian is up and about more my arm will get better and also told me to splint it at night, hmmm I have a 6 month old to get up to at night, he also told me to get my husband to do the washing, what a joke!!!!! He gets annoyed at me when I mentioned it`s painfull so he`s not likely to help me out. So as I said my children are breaking my body.
My Mum has $1000 worth of free qantas travel, she wants to take me and the boys somewhere, if we go before May Matthew travels for free, so where should we go?
I measured Matthew`s length today and he`s grown 4 cms in 3 months, he`s now 91cms, he has started to look a bit skinny but they do say between 2 - 4yrs they do slim down, he`s forver on the go but still eats well.
We had some lovely sponge cake that Fi made (where she found the time, I dunno!) and Jenna showed us some letters of the alphabet. Very clever! Gabby saw the cow and said "moo" does that count?? PMSL She was just happy to copy Jenna and point while Jenna told us the letter and the picture.
