Babies Born March 2007 #7

OMG you girls can talk! Well, I have some news....Nicholas is rolling over! Such a clever boy. He started yesterday, from his back to his tummy. He was getting so frustrated and was lifting his head up and really straining, then he would lift his legs up, and then he just fell over! At first I thought it was just a fluke, but he is doing it all the time now. It was really cute...the girls were playing with the microphone, so they decided to "interview" him about his exciting new achievement.I wish I was organised enough to have the video at hand, so hopeless. I did take pics though, so I will update them. Nic now weighs 6.7kgs, but I can't remember his length (what a crap mother I am!!)

I have just completed a babies/children first aid course. I would highly recommend doing this course! It was fantastic. The guy was a bit intense, but he made it really simple. I had actually done this same couse about 4 years ago through Jas' daycare, but the guy wasn't nearly as good as in this course. Anyway, I am now feeling very confident I could save someone, or at least not panic if something happened to one of the kids.

Cass - I went through a similar thing with Chloe a couple of years ago with her mum. She has called me mummy since she was only 4 or 5 I think, but I have always been positive about her relationship with her mother. It hasn't really been an issue yet, only when things happen and she has to come home, or she can't go and see her. I think it will come when she is older and starts to understand the situation a bit more. For now, she seems to just accept this is the way it is, she lives with us, I am her mummy (or Mama as she calls me now), her mother is also her mummy. She is a tricky one though as she really isn't very open with her feelings about it, so I think it will all come later on. Good luck, and I think the best thing you can do is just to love him, be consistent, and try not to overcompensate.

Caro - the girls loved the Fairies too! We also had hassles with parking and I was getting quite stressed that we were going to be late, but we weren't. Also had hassles with the bloody ticket machine, but at least it wasn't raining!

I can't remember what everyone else has said now! I am so tired that I keep typing words the wrong way around. It is not even that I am not getting enough sleep because of Nicholas either! I just keep staying up late. I think it is because my DH is a night owl, and I like to sit up with him, but I just get so tired! On that noe, I am off to bed.

Have a great weekend everyone!
