Tali - just noticed your new av!!! How cute. I hope you all have a wonderful xmas eve tonight. Doesn't matter when you do it as long as you do it together.

Maya - Oscar is little cutie, that is so sweet. Wonder where he got that dream from? They dream such strange things. I'm sure some days Chelsea wishes she wasn't a sibling lol!!!! Marley can treat her quite poorly sometimes. Good luck with the offers, you must be sick of having people trasping through your house every weekend! Thanks for your affirmation too. We haven't had any repeats of that behaviour since, and I hope we don't!

Nic - yes they do hurt lol!!!! Sorry to hear its happened to you to. Was beginning to think I was the only one. You were lucky someone decided to help, most people just give you the look and watch. And you are right, smile or you cry! There are times I just want to crawl into a hole with things she does. Glad you at least have a diagnosis, but often those big words sound scary and confusing. Take your time, read up and ask lots of questions of your OT. It will be learning curve for you as well as Nixon.

Rory - let the tears flow as freely as the smiles do. And I hope we don't see too many more posts at 5am!

Still not organised for christmas yet!!! Getting there, but still more to get. Monday night is the night. MIL will look after the kids while DH and I do the marathon shop. When will I learn lol!!!

Only 1 more work day and I am off for 4 weeks - YEAH!!! It will be nice to wake up on Monday morning and not have to get Chelsea ready for school and I think she is glad to have finished too. They get so tired by the end of the year.

Hope everyones xmas shopping is going better than mine
