morning all.

We have had a pretty quiet weekend. My DH worked all weekend in fact today will be his 15th 12hour day on a row.
Saturday we started swimming lessons again and I was over the moon with Isaacs performance, he loved it and kicked hiss little legs like mad.
Yesterday we just hung out at home, housework, washing etc...

Tennykins- re your question! I try hard not to let Isaac get away with too much. we can be pretty strict. if he is being ignorant and not listening I go to him hold his face quite firm about 1inch from mine and tell him in the crankiest deep voice I can that "not listening to mummy is very naughty behaviour!" and "he must always listen to mummy and if he ignores mummy again he will have to sit on the naughty chair and will not be able to play." For Isaac yelling doesn't really work. In our place DH and I are the boss and you do as you?re told even if you don?t want to. I don?t think it does any harm and it seems to work. my mum said to me when I had Isaac that a good thing to remember is that- 80% teacher + 20% friend = 100% mum, and I think she is right I spend a lot of the day telling Isaac what he can and cant do.

Zee- how is Lucas going? I think I?m lucky where for some reason crying doesn't bother me.

feeb & Zee- do you have one of those support things that stop them from rolling? Isaac couldn't sleep without one I think it made him feel like he was being held. Just thought it might help.

Missy- how's it going hon? if you need anything let me know.

the park on Wednesday??? who is coming. i tried to google children?s parks with fences around them in Sydney but came up with nothing. hmm maybe i can ask BB members.

Mez have a great time in NZ.

pixie- glad Beth is sleeping better for you.

bell- Caleb has one side of his head that?s flatter than the other too, i was told their is not much that can be done, we just try to force him to sleep evenly on both sides. Won?t notice once he gets hair.

Tannis good luck with your Dr today. glad its not me this time.

I think I will take Isaac to playgroup tomorrow. i find it hard to connect with other mums. i don't know why. I guess I will have to force myself to make an effort; for Isaac.

well my nappies wont hang themselves out better run.

I can hear sebi coughing hope he isn't getting sick...

Bye 4 now........
