Ooooh! Our team just won a finals game!!!! Thankfully it wasn't a nail biter (we won by 41 points I think) because we had to watch the game whilst meeting the needs of 3 children... kids will play quietly during the half time break but as soon as your team is about to kick a goal they will come out screaming that they need something or another. I tried to get Wade engaged in the game today: "look! can he catch the red ball???" (Wade loves playing catch) ... or "uh oh, look a big fight! naughty men!" LOL

IK: that's great that your DP was able to rise above the angst and go along with you. One of my biggest regrets as a parent was to have spoken badly about relatives infront of Verity (who now thinks she has an excuse to be disrepectful too) so it's good practise for him to role model "tolerance" for Oscar's sake.

Neeny: yep I'll back that up about bottle feeding... after my children self weaned at 9 - 10 months old they went onto formula and still woke up during the night... not just because they were hungry... also because they wanted to play. It's one of those things that doesn't have a solution... there's not just hunger, there's teething, illness, feeling too hot, feeling too cold, hearing strange noises, night-mares, feeling lonely, or as i said just wanting to play... sorry to paint such a gloomy picture but sleep after having a child is never the same again.

Ok... shower time with my little munchkin... btw, posted a piccy of us having another shower together last night... really shows how much he has grown!

Oh, and school holidays (yay!) for 3 weeks Unlike most parents I love school holidays because then I have Verity at home to help... means I don't have to juggle feeding Niall and dealing with Wade at the same time.

Hope we see Enigma in here next week....
