Oh, I'm with ya now Caro...lol. You'll have to email me a piccy so I can see the Zanzibar one!! I actually bought Oskar a new cover for his cot as well... it's a Bright Bots one.. the circus and it's all really bright and cool! I love it! So now he'll be able to have either - not that he's even sleeping in his own room anyway and not that he sleeps in his cot very often at all! I haven't had to wash the sheets or anything since the initial wash of course. So, hmmmm dunno if it'll get used...pmsl but looks cool

OMG Sarah, how scary Ari being under the recliner! I hate to think as well, poor little princess. She's getting soooo big and I love the pic on your ticker! I can't believe how much more like a little girl she looks since you were here. We have a playpen which Andy's grandfather made many, many years ago. It's red!! Very cool with some beads on it (like on toys). Needs repainting - half done - but I'll probably put it around the birds or something I'd say so that he doesn't go exploring the seed etc or try to pull himself up on the cage cos that could be quite a disaster!! With the bumbos sometimes I find I have to just ease his legs in more and that depends on what he's wearing. It's all very easy to squish around so it doesn't squish their chubby little thighs.

I took the capsule back to the ambulance today and I asked the guy if he'd mind just checking Oskar's seat cos it didn't seem right to me. Boy am I glad I did!! He refitted the whole thing and said that it wasn't safe to be driving around. We had installed it like it said, but it wasn't feeling secure and tight and also the headrest wasn't positioned right etc. So, he went through it all and fixed it and now it's fabo!!! I'm soooo glad I didn't go to Wynnum instead today like I was thinking about. That would've been approx. 45 mins drive each way, in the rain, mostly on highway!! I thought wow, lucky I decided I didn't feel like driving on the highway in the rain.

Oskar tried out his new jolly jumper mat thing. I think he gets what it's about, however it doesn't seem as sensitive sometimes as it does other times, weird! So, I'll give him another go or two and see how it performs. If it's not up to scratch I'll return it. I have the packaging and receipt, so will wait and see. They're pretty noisy though...lol.
