Sacha - nice to hear from you! I was just thinking about Autumn and her eczema the other day - there was a report on Today Tonight about a guy that has made up a cream called Invisible Glove to treat eczema. He is a grandfather whose grandchild had it really bad and they couldn't find anything to cure it, so he mixed some stuff up himself. It worked so well that he marketed it and sold stacks and is now a millionaire (you know how that always happens ). The thing that seemed really good about it is that it had a money back guarentee, so it obviously works quite well. But you sound like you are getting on track with it anyway. That is a bit of a shock about the heart murmur. Hopefully everything goes well - I don't know anything about them - so keep us posted on how it goes with the paed.
We are going birthday shopping this weekend. DH is saying we have to be very strict on what we buy as T won't know its his birthday and family members have gone crazy already (one sister is out hunting for a hutch for the rabbit she is going to buy for Tom. Or maybe two rabbits so they won't be lonely ). We are buying him a bike - one of the peddle ones with the handle so you can push them along, one of those rugs with the race car tracks on it and some shoes. To add to that I want to get him some books and new DVD - I work in an ABC shop so heaps of DVD's I have my eyes on. Tom is a little obsessed with Justine Clark off Playschool and she has a cd of kids songs that I might get to play in the car.

I was settled in to do a big post but i think I am pushing my luck! Tom has been so good today - I have been doing heaps of housework and he has been playing happily by himself, but is starting to get a bit antsy now! I think it might be mummy/son playtime. Will try to come back in over the next few days to catch up with other posts and personals xx
