Cass – Men just aren’t too good at listening are they? I imagine a teenage boy would be complicated in the best of family situations!

Karina – Yay on the box of nappies! I wish I could find somewhere in Perth that sold them in boxes. I suppose he will be into the next size up soon enough anyway. that's so funny! You will be shocked to learn then that when you start going to play group, Claire will more than likely be sharing her dummy with every other kid there! I remember Jas just picking up anyone's dummy at play group and popping it into her mouth - so gross!!

Rachel – Good on you for having the mother’s group at your place! When I had Jas, we used to meet at each others houses and I used to get nervous too. This time, we meet after our post-natal exercise class at the shopping centre for a coffee. One of the mums has organised a play group for us starting next term, so that’s fantastic. It is only about a 15minute walk from my place too, on the other side of a lake, so I will try to walk there when it’s not raining.

It sounds like we have all fallen in love with our babies (again!). Nic is so cute, he smiles and laughs a lot now and gurgles at us all the time. He adores the girls and grins at them constantly. I really must update my photo’s, I am so slack with this! Nic has woken up with a cold today, so he was very grizzly today. Chloe was also home from school today as she has a terrible cough and was up a lot in the night. We have out a vapouriser in Nic’s room and have given him Dimatapp, and he is sleeping now, poor little fella.
