Dee - great to hear from you. Sounds like you have settled into your new life pretty well. I just checked out your pics, it looks amazing! The mountains look like you could reach out and touch them from your back door. I didn't think it got cold in Indonesia? I always thought of it as warm and tropical. That bus does look a little dodgy!!! Nathan sounds like a character. Are there many other Aussies in the area you live? Make sure you keep in touch.

Nic - Marley can be a bit of a pusher too lol!!! On Saturday, Chelsea was looking in the pantry and because Marley also wanted to look in the pantry, she pulled Chelsea's hair so hard that it pulled her down on her bum. The tears started (Chelsea wasn't happy!) and Marley went and cuddled her, then pushed her out the way to get into the pantry. Mission accomplished! She is such a devil sometimes.

Ang - your sharing issues sound just like mine - Chelsea will give her what she wants sometimes, but the other times it's a scream fest!

At daycare on Friday, they told me that Marley had been pulling other kids ears, they said it wasn't done in a nasty way, but rather trying to wiggle them. But they would prefer her not to do it as the other kids were getting a bit freaked out by it. The hair pulling is still happening but she has never pulled anyone elses hair, just Chelsea's. Thank god she is not biting.

Had a bad discovery on Saturday - Chelsea has lice!!!!!!!!! She has never had it before, and I suppose she has done well not to have had it. Did the trip to the chemist and she said she had sold 5 kits in 30 minutes. I used the K24 kit and it has hopefully done the job. I stripped her bed and washed everything in hot water, soaked all her hair ties, changed Marley's bedding, even got DH to go through my hair with the little magnifying glass they give you. Thankfully I am all clear! The comb thingy was a bit tricky to use but Chelsea has very fine hair so it wasn't too bad. I pity the poor kids who have thick hair. We have to repeat the treatment in 7 days. You can now get a preventative spray which I might have to invest in. It's so horrible thinking about those awful little critters being on her hair!!!!

Hope everyone is enjoying their long weekend.
