Vanita, LOL @ the strawberry quik! Sorry to hear Rianna's sick. I hope the rest of the tribe don't get it. There's lots going around with gastro and tonsilitis etc.

Kate, can I come down and give you a break? I wish there was something I could do. I feel so helpless. Sending you all my love, and lots of sleepy vibes for your girls.

BTW Kate. I often give Blake and Viv 'splashy baths' - 1-2 inches in the bottom of the bath of cool water to play in. It's lovely and cooling and refreshing and often helps distract when feral and also calms a little for bed. HTH for your girls
