Hi all- I hope all the june babies had lovely birthdays! Can't believe they are 3.
Mel- Yay for Marley and doing wee's. Tori was the same,refused to go on the toilet for ages, and one day she was in knickers and soooooooo busting than I raced through the house with her and got her on the toilet in time, and she has been weeing on the toilet ever since. I got some tips from my GP for Poo in the toilet, because Tori was really really frightened to do it. She said to sit them on the toilet after each meal for 10 mins, and make it a fun time- sing, play puppets, read boooks etc, once they have sat there, even if they don't do a poo- you reward them with a sticker on a sticker chart- once they have reached a pre determined amount of stickers 5, 10 whatever you choose they get a reward. For us it a trip to the beach, and when she actualley did a poo in the toilet she got to go to the shops and choose whatever she wanted. It really worked, she loved the sticker chart- wasnt so keen on sitting on the toilet, but we got there. The GP said the theory behind sitting on the toilet after meals is to teach them that it takes a little bit longer to sit and do a poo.
Tali- Glad the move went well, and you are settled into a house. I take my hat off to anyone who can live in a caravan- sometimes I feel like our 4x1 is too small, cant imagine living in a caravan.
Maya- Hope you feel better soon.
Things here are good, on school holidays (first day today) and enjoying some peace and quiet while both kids are sleeping. Liam has been unwell, he had croup which turned into a 'viral induced wheeze' which is basically a precursor to asthma- he is on a ventolin inhaler which has helped, and we are hoping he will grow out of it.
Our trip to melbourne is booked..............woohoo, I am so excited we arrive on tuesday 29th Sept and flyout on Weds Oct 7th. We have booked a 3 bedroom apartment in East melbourne, so hopefully nice and close to everything. We are spewing a little bit because we wanted to see Wicked, but they are finishing up in August- but such is life.
Our other big news is we are buying a house, we have decided to by MIL's house which we already live- makes it nice and convenient as we dont have to move and we got it for a fairly decent price which is also nice.
Anyway I better go back to my baking, I am stocking up my supplies of baked goodes while I have some time, I have made 2 slices, next I am making a batch of lemonade scones and a couple of batches of biscuits and hopefully some pizza scrolls as well.
