mis: did i miss the post where u said stanks had be asked to leave or didnt u post about it. wat happened.

nana: i so dont balme u for not wanting to go to that carer. some people give the rest of us a bad name. please see if u can find another carer dont just think all carers r like that. i would also ring and make a complaint about the state of the place u went to.
DH is always having a sook at me cause i am constantly askin fo rthe lawn t be kept nice because it isnt just the way i trea tthe kids it is also the house that reflects the level of care the children get.

we had a better ngiht with jayda last ngiht i planned on giving her, her bottle earlier with the cows milk added so she woudl have some time for it to digest but she feel asleep with it but she didnt have any wake ups BUT she woke at 5 this morning. Dh got her while i went to the toilets and got sick of rockign her so put her in with us. so i got my hair pulled and nose picked all morning till i got out of bed.

well i am off shopping tongiht to get a new phone. dunno if i wrote it the other day but jayda broke mine i was all happy at first cause i have wanted a new phone for a while but when i went online to look wat phones there were there is none i like or in my price range.

NaNa as sass said not all FDC are like that, you really need to feel comfortable though and i would not leave Hamish anywhere like you described. I ran into the FDC mum that looked after Maddi when she was young, she is so lovely, she is a nana herself now, anyhow she offered to have Hamish for me, but as i am not going back to work i am not sure. I said maybe later in the year one afternoon a week or something would be nice for a break but at the moment i am coping. Sounds like Aadi is giving you trouble still, i have a friend in Melbourn who had a baby that is rough and uncontrollable, biting, hitting etc like Hamish and Aadi, he is now 17 months and i spoke to them this week and they said finally he is sleeping all night and he has calmed down dramatically, ofcourse he is still full of energy etc, but he does not go pyscho (her words) like he use to. I know its not much consilations but maybe as he gets older things will get better, i have my fingers crossed for you.
Sass - Hamish has formula in morning and night bottle, cows milk in cereal and at lunch he has cows milk in sippy cup. I do not water it down or anything, the mchn said not too. He probably has about 50ml. I will eventually cut out his morning bottle and just give him cows milk in sippy cup. Would like to have no bottles around 12 months and just sippy cup.
Mis T - I cant use bonjella on Hamish it does nothing. I think Hamish is getting his 2 year old teeth, he has massive swollen lumpy gums at the side of his mouth and hie poos are lethal atm. I might be wrong but the lumps and bumps are exactly where the molars are. Will see i guess.

Well not much here to report, have a busy month coming up so trying to get things organised, i have Maddi's 13th birthday in 2 weeks, a party at home, boys and girls so i will be keeping a very close eye on them..lol Also have Dp's birthday a few days before this, so the organising for Hamish's party will be put back a bit, i am actully having his party on the 23rd as on the 29th we will be away for my mums 60th. ohh what a month may will be. Rudd i so needed your money.. grrrr
I best be off to the shower before Hamish wakes, still having two sleep here but afternoon one is only around an 1hr now, but he is in bed earlier, sleeps from 7pm to 7am now so i should not complain. I know i am lucky to have such a good sleeper.
Hi to everyone else i my have missed.

[sassy123]

mis: i am glad he wasnt kicked out lol.

well i went to the doc today and she gave me the duromine im only aloud on it for a month or i can take 1 every 2nd day for 2 months but i have to get off the zoloft first

NaNa- OMG i read ur post and thought it was something i had writted about my DS...

Yesterday morning we had our first incident of headbutting the floor with intent (not just falling down!) and I tell you, it's horrible! For a week or two now DS has been smacking himself in the head with his hand whenever he was frustrated or I said "No!", but there's very little I can do to prevent that

...

Just wondering- have you tried formula at all... - now i used to hate this when i was BF but a friend of mine's boy was also like that screamed all night wouldnt sleep etc... put him on this formula that is supposed to help with sleeping and within 3 nights he was sleeping through... ( i can find out the name of it if u like. (Oh i understand if ur not interested... hope i havent offended u by mentioning it... i know i used to but please dont take it asan Anti BF bashing cos u know me and i'm all for it... Just thinking of u... HUGS)

Tracy- i used some SM33 the other week for my teeth pain and found it stings a little 1st before numbing... i dont get that with binjella... But have u read the news about bonjella???

I agree with everyone about feeling comfy with someone ur leaving ur precious with... i would have done the same hun...

Abb i remember reading bout ur DD's birthday last yr... I still spins me out that our bubs are almost 1 and that i have been chatting with you all for that long...

I love that a few of our bubbas have the same B'day... our party will be on the 23rd also... only cos its the weekend before and i hate to have it after... lol just a little one... i brought a tiara that says birthday princess... LOL

Sass- GL.... hope all goes well with them... i start mine monday with HJ

Things are ok now were back to the old formula...

[Je$$_84]

Tracy- I so dont feel like a supermum... i feel like a numb zoned out broken failure...and with the bonjella- must be the mouth ulcer one... sorry if i worried u...

Hopefully tresillian can help u... i have heard both good and bad things from them...

Well DD has now shated throwing tanties also... crying at DS is he has something she wants... not good...

[Frangipani]

Hi Girl...how are you going? How's your DD? I'm on my phone so can't see sigs but did baby number 2 arrive? Details please! How are you going settling back in Melbourne? Did you find a job as you hoped?

Going ok here. Cam likes to challenge me alot like any normal 3year old i suppose...lol...but overall he is mostly good. I play solo mum alot as hubby's job takes him away abit now...and i think Cam understands that he has to help me, including doing what he is told to do. Not always easy, but it has been getting easier.

I have found recently Cam has become Mr Independent...has to do alot of things himself....choose his own outfits (i have to hide the things i don't want him to wear eg now its warmer his jumpers, long sleeve shirts and tracksuit pants...because if he sees them there is no negotiating...which particularly on work days i don't need...so out of site out of mind...lol!). He also insists on dressing himself- which is a huge help though...even got the button thing pretty much down pat.

Cam is loving his little brother. They do almost everything together. Josh copies Cam so much...I just love watching them laughing and playing (just not the fighting that comes with it...lol!). They seem to have the same interests- so it can cause issues if there is only 1 toy/book etc until we work out this sharing thing (moreso Josh). But they truly are best friends.

I am not sure who is still around. I have Jess, Abb (madham), Sassy, NaNa & LoveMyKids on Facebook so keep up to date with them on there....not sure if they do BB much anymore. If you would like to friend me on Facebook....just pm me your email address or name or i can pm you mine. Then we could maybe start a Facebook discussion...my BB group from Josh has just reunited actually yesterday using that...as most of them don't BB anymore either.

Well think its time for sleep...as long as Josh's stir just now sees him back to sleep (he still doesn't sleep through the night regularly).

Chat soon,
