Hey Tegan. Sounds like you had a great time at the show. I'm looking forward to taking Charlie to Australia Zoo when DH has some time off when the baby is born. We don't even have a dog at home, so he goes crazy whenever he sees animals! She'll talk when she wants to - if she's understanding everything that's the main thing. Charlie is going through a clingy thing atm too - hopefully it's just a stage they go through. Yay for the decrease in tanties too! An idea about the 'ta' thing - Charlie can't say ta yet, but he can say Nan, bub and a few other things, so my Mum has been making him say 'Nan' when he wants something instead of grizzling for it. Works for her (haven't tried it myself yet). I bet once they start talking we'll wish they hadn't! Do you have some family support close by for when Jacob goes away? You'll be fine I'm sure - vent in here whenever you like.

Charlie woke up sick today - was actually sick a couple of times but he seems to be feeling a bit better now. I'm making him stay still (as still as I can make him!) because I want to himto rest and recover properly so I've got a whole heap of DVDs from the video shop. Does anyone else want to murder a Wiggle? LOL I got a cartoon of The Cat In The Hat (Charlie's favourite book) and it's so funny. It looks like it was made in the 60s or 70s by a whole heap guys who were sitting around high on something! We watched Spot too, and there's an episode where Spot is trying to find out what a particular smell is. In the process he ends up sniffing some paint and some furniture polish, so Tom and I have called that episode "Spot Goes On A Bender". These people are nuts.

Anyway, better go and take care of my poor boy. I bet my body won't let me go into labour until Charlie is well again, so let's hope he gets better soon! Hope you all have a lovely weekend.
