Caro - I am taking the girls to the Fairies tomorrow as a surprise. Have fun on Thursday! And I hope you are feeling better soon.

Cass - Poor Oskar, I hate it when Nic screams in the car (which is every time he is in it!). I have tried stopping and getting him out, but he cries as soon as I put him back in. I bought a mirror for the car, but it didn't work! The only time he is ok in the car is when the girls are in there with him. Maybe he gets lonley without them? Did Oskar like the jump jump?

Cass - everyone has an opinion don't they? I hear you on the when she starts to cry, they give her back, or pick her up! My mum is the worst for that! When my sis was having trouble with their daughter, she was waking all the time and the only way to get her to sleep was rocking her at the time, my mum said, just rock her! After preaching for years about how my other sister made a 'rod for her own back" by doing this for her son! What the hell does that mean anyway - rod for your own back?? There is nothing more special than being the one who can comfort your own child, you are their mummy, it is your job. It never ends either, I fix everything with band aids here! The girls might have a headache, and a band aid can miraculously fix it!

I am going to Toys r Us on Thursday to get a Bumbo. I showed DH last night, and he said - "Oh, just get one!" I showed him all the pics of the babies in them, and he thought Nic would like it too. I do have a question though - if they are sitting up a lot, will this affect their learning to crawl? My CHN said they should be able to crawl before they can sit up, so if they are sitting up already with this very different view of the world, will they still want to crawl?Did that make any sense? Or am I just talking crap???
