Congratulations Aunty Kas! Hope you get your fill of new baby cuddles!! Let us know all the stats when you hear...

Steph - sounds like the 6 years in one spot will do all of you a world of good, especially the boys. How's the signing going? Lucy isn't overly independent, but she is quite capable. She doesn't want my help with some things, but pesters me to do others for her. I think once she's got the hang of it she doesn't want any assistance though.

We had the first swimming lesson of the term last night and Lucy can go over 10 metres on her own! She tipped herself face forward at one point and got a huge mouthful of water that she wasn't too happy about, but otherwise she's getting the hang of it. Some of our buddies from last term aren't there this time, so she's the only one who can swim on her own (some newies along for the first time). I think this'll be her last term in the baby class, depending on how far she gets. It'll be fun over summer now we have a pool to use. Enough bragging for now...! I won't go near the episodes we're having with throwing food off the high chair...! From now on, the foot is going down. If it gets tossed, the meal is over and nothing else until the next one. Time to be tough Mummy!

Must go, dinner to cook!
