Hi girls

Thanks for the well wishes, I'm doing much better on the foot now. I can walk around okay at home and only need to use the boot out for another week. Lucy knows I have a sore foot and bends down and touches it very gently saying 'sore'. Too cute! Jen, I wish you lived near me!! I think I'd need to be a lot more injured to get that kind of treatment around here normally! Tayneesha sounds so cute with her little sister.

Nat, hope you're doing okay, not long to go now. Are you managing to relax and take it easy sometimes? Like Mia Lucy is talking a lot more now. She will repeat just about every word I say to her and asks for things by name, like 'drink', 'na-na', says 'please' if you ask her 'what do you say?' when she wants something (yay!!! I have been trying so hard for good manners, now we just have to get 'thank you' going). She plays with so much imagination now, it's very cute to watch. Oh and she knows what it means to pee now, she did it before I could dress her after her bath the other night (on the floor, but never mind) and we kept saying to her 'Lucy you did a pee' and she was very interested! So now I ask her if she wants to pee and put her on the potty. Nothing's actually happened on the potty yet, but at least she finally knows what I mean. I just have to fluke it for her to be excited about peeing on the potty! She tells me when she has done a 'poo' in her nappy (always when she's napping, so I've got no idea how we'll TT for this!) or shakes her head, no, if I ask her and she hasn't done one.

Must get back to work. Like your DHs and you Jen I work for myself and am really busy at the moment. So looking forward to Xmas and a break!
