Hi all, sorry I haven't been around much, I've been really busy here (just like all of you!!!).
I've officially resigned from my old job as I just can't work 9 days a fortnight in a location 110km from home. They didn't have anything else part time or casual so resignation was the only solution. Doesn't worry me too much as we've had another iron in the fire so to speak - I'm joining my husbands physio practice as the new Clinical Pilates Physiotherapist!!! I saw my first client on Thursday and had another new one this morning, it was so odd to be going to work! But great to be using my brain in a different way too. We plan to both work part time and share child care responsibilities as best we can. I might also do some work in the public sector, but not sure about that as yet.
Angus is going well, he now has 4 teeth, and he's feeling some discomfort I think from the top ones which are still coming through. He bites the high chair, the coffee table, and when he's tired or hungry he face plants on the floor like he's trying to bite that (?sounds a bit like Nate, dragonstorm?). He's a very lovely child who is delightful most of the time, he sometimes only has one day sleep but then gets overtired at the end of the day and becomes a bit whiny. I count myself extremely fortunate to have such a relaxed boy who loves his routine. He still loves his boobie, hates cups and bottles with a passion. But he has experienced lots of new taste sensations for lunch and dinner recently and chowed them all down! Yay!!! He's a pretty firm and muscly little boy, the little girl across the road feels all puddingy soft when I pick her up in comparison!
And I'm hearing you all on the frustration bit, some days it drives me insane. At the moment Angus is a big wriggler when changing his nappy which isn't helpful. He doesn't just move a little, he puts his legs over his head, slaps his arms around frantically, and tries to roll over with great force repeatedly. It can take us more than 10 minutes to change a nappy that is merely wet with all this carry on. It makes me want to cry and sometimes I do yell at him to stay still, but I'm sure he doesn't quite get it yet.
Anyway, he's wonderful and I love him with all my heart, wouldn't trade him for the world.
Anyway, time for bed, another lovely hour of sleep hopefully awaits with the daylight saving deal. Take care of yourselves everyone and look after those lovely little ones.
