Hi everyone... Little Athletics this morning, now just chillin' out at home.... been working on your avvy Ali... just sent through the first draft for your perusal
Got a stinky little friend snuffling around my feet... gonna go have a shower with him (Niall).
What a day! Had a strange swimming lesson - Oscar is determined to go it alone and swallowed an inordinate amount of water...but we had to let him because he had to taste consequences We won't do it as much next time, as today he got a sufficient taste and I don't want to turn him off water at this crucial stage (of development in and out of water, as well as coming up to summer!). His problem is that he is overconfident - as they said, no child drowned from overconfidence that they know of (the drown from panic mostly), but it would still be nice not to have him throwing himself away from me!
ALi - yay on joining! Can't wait to see your av! Have a lovely evening, sounds like an ideal compromise (even though you had planned it ages ago, it's worked out perfectly!)
I went to the ABA regional meeting today to talk about our experience with Tongue Tie...and I cried at the end when I retold a story about my feeding Oscar at 6 weeks at a reception centre for our fire brigade. I told it because it involved the maitre'd from there...who on the night revealed to me that she was a counsellor for the neighbouring group...and today's meeting was in her area! I so didn't think I'd tear up, but I did, and she was so happy that she made a difference to us just as we were recovering from all of that TT stuff. I don't know how many of you would remember, but feeding was horrendous for us for abotu 6 weeks, with the TT being snipped when Oscar was 4 weeks old and him learning to use his tongue again. Geez, why would I stop booby feeding when we got through that hiccup of a start??! No wonder I'm so attached to it!
Anyway, Oscar is asleep again and I should put him down now, and do some work around here.
I'll try to jump in again later - we'll be at our neighbour's bonfire tonight!
Ali - my thoughts exactly for becoming platinum. I got my username changed by emailing Kelly and she changed it straight away for me. I bet your av will look great, Bath is very clever! Glad to hear Tori is on the mend and have a wonderful night tonight. Make sure you tell us all about it.
Bath - glad you clarified it was Niall, thought DH might have been your stinky little friend LOL!!!
Maya - Confidence in the water is a great thing, but not too much of it. Did you have plenty of wet nappies today? Marley is a bit of a pool drinker too, don't know why, its tastes pretty grose! How nice for that lady to know she helped you so much. I know of so many people whos baby's had tongue tie, is it very common? You did very well to keep perservering after such a rough start. Many would have given up. Do people still have bonfires, how cool. Great night to be having one.
Pretty bored at the moment! Just been watching a bit of the footy. I have been watching the National Geographic DVD series that the Herald Sun had. They are actually really good, about 1 hour each and Chelsea is really enjoying them too. Got a few more to watch so might have to do that later.
The girls were so cute tonight. Marley has worked out how to roll a ball along the ground. So Chelsea got up one end of the family room and rolled it to Marley, she rolled it back (usually in the wrong direction!). Every time she rolled it she clapped herself and laughed. Chelsea was very happy playing and said to me "Mum, I'm glad I've got a sister". How sweet! Made up for the few squabbles they had today.
