hi all

bel we never use our parents, dh mum and dad or my mother to babysit, cos we love our children lol. den's parents are not intune with our boys and do not understand gentle parenting hence we do not leave them with them ever. i don't speak to my mother and haven't for years so thats an easy one. my sister has babysat my boys occassionally after they turned 4 and of course they have playdates now after i get the FBI to check out the parents of course . so oscar won't be babysat until 4 either. sorry i can't help, and i know you're probably all thinking we are bloody weird but it was something we decided before we had kids and doesn't bother us.

brooke sorry can't help you, i would pick maya up and hold her until she goes back to sleep and either just keep her in your lap or lay her down again. i know probably not what you are after though.

kate i hate that tiredness you get with being up the duff. soooooo exhausting. poor poppet

vanita don't say only a div 2, they are a link in the nursing chain. where have you worked we may have worked together. i have pretty much worked at all the big city hospitals and eastern as well. only place i haven't worked is the alfred.

fletch zane is sooooo cute

deb how is al today, i hope he settles soon.

rachel how are you today?

heather how's hendy today hope the sniffles go soon.

oscar just descovered the joys of lego today. he can roll around so much when i looked over he was turning the boys 'creations' over in his hand and was laughing as it crumbled in his hand. that'll teach them. no more lego on the floor! i thought it was safe where it was. eeeekkkk. and this morning he tore up josh's D-Mag. he was cute about it though he said to oscar 'that's ok little man you didn't know but next time can you be more careful' like he understands! oh well nappys to hang out - they will be dry in no time on a hot day like today. yay.

love beckles
