Awww don't worry about the Father's Day thing too much IK... it took my DH a few years to get into it, been a few "write offs" with Mother's Day as well. Also maybe the walk in the sling will help Oscar's wind... Niall doesn't suffer from it usually but when he does it's because I've laid him down too soon after a feed.

CeeCee: Why do you have to have a colonoscopy? For piles or polyps? I've read about them because polyps are sometimes genetic and they are on my mother's side and every time i see blood in my poos I wonder... hopefully it's just the piles of pregnancy. Hope the anaesthetic doesn't interfere too much, let us know how you go and what the ABA say.

Just got back from the newsagency where we collected our free Wiggles DVD using a token from the Herald on the weekend... as soon as we got home Wade took himself to the potty! Good boy, he's almost trained now, just has a nappy overnight.

Niall's napping and I hope Wade has one too... he's just starting to get a bit ratty...

ETA: Jaspen: yep, it's already getting a bit tricky (Peer pressure) and the best advice I can give is to talk about values and moral behaviour from a very early age. Be a good role model.... the "do as I say and not as I do" won't work; your kids will pick up on all your bad habits! (it has embarrassed me on occasions). It's just starting to show results with Verity: she seems to have absorbed alot of what we have discussed about honesty and "doing the right thing" from when she was as young as 3yo. Also it REALLY helps to make sure that the school your children go to focus on morals and ethics. If children see poor behaviour being ignored or that kids "get away" with poor behaviour such as bullying they soon learn to simply "look out for number one" which really isn't a good message. Verity's school is especially onto bullying and negative peer pressure so it's not so much as simply wanting to wear inappropriate clothes etc.
