I don't agree with that Shazz either, I would be complaining.
Hi Tania, long time no see. Hope your move goes well.
Kim - Gosh I dread the day I put lachlan in a bed, I feel it is a long way off for us. He moves way too much in his cot and would def fall out even with those rails. Bugger the transition hey, always going to be hard huh. Hope your move goes well too, and would love to help if you would pay for the plain flight hehe.
Sorry not sure who else posted now, we have just got back from our weekend away and remind me never to go further then 3hours with a toddler. I generally do this by myself, but after yesterday and todays effort and Wade was with me, I am not doing this again. We are buying a double dvd player for the car seat for my next trip in November.
-
Kim- Erin and i can come and help you any day!!
-
ok girls off to bed i am so tired i barely function nigh nigh
-
aaggh buggar Christine I'd so rather have you and Erin help! Wish I hadn't organised my aunt and uncle tomorrow to come over!!! poo poo poo!
-
kim - i have everything crossed for you! GL with the packing, wish i was closer so i could lend a hand, hope you and Darcy get some decent sleep soon.
shazz - it made me feel sicj reading what ur DS had to go through at school, sure he may not have done the right thing regarding his lunch but was it really that important that he get punished for it like that to learn his lesson?! I hope you get it sorted and he doesn't recieve similar treatment in the furture.
Sheree - i found it funny reading that you will never do more than a 3 hour drive with a toddler, we went to victoria on Saturday night which is a 3 hour trip and he way home was very stressful and LONG, definately wont be travelling with him to Adelaide (5 hours) anytime soon! i reckon we'll be investing in a portable DVD player in the not too distant future too.
We went to victoria to stay with family on Saturday night. It was great to see everyone and get out of the house for a night, Archie had a wonderful time playing with his 2.5 year old cousin Connor, he was calling him "nonna" the whole time. He is really starting to string words tgether now like he grabbed his Nanna and said "nanna mower" cause he wanted to show her the toy mower. he also said "top nonna" (stop Connor) when Connor stole teddy, and when i told him he couldn't have a banana he looked at Poppy and said "Poppy nana?". Wont be long and he will be full on talking, my baby is fast disappearing!
Sounds like anxiety is a family problem, found out my Nan, Auntie and cousin have all been diagnosed with anxiety recently, and i have no doubt that Archie will follow in our footsteps which makes me feel pretty awful, he seems to be quite anxious at times, oh well i guess there will always be something undesirable that we will unwillingly pass on to the next generation.
Sounds like there might be a new baby in the family fairly soon, my aunt and uncle are going to try for #3, they have 2 boys and would dearly love a girl so fingers crossed for them!

Wow archie is clever Elissa. Lachlan more copies what we say, a real parrot! Yeah we have been looking at a dvd player for a while now, but I think daddy realised how desperate I am for one now seeing as I do many 3 hour trips by myself these days. I tell ya what though, he has a hollow stomach when it comes to biscuits/chips. That is one saving grace, but I had to draw the line and say no more. If you handed him anything else he doesn't want a bar of it! Even if he has a full tummy he will still say yes to chips/biscuits. It is so funny he shakes his head for a "NO" now and it is not on the head it is the whole head shoulder shake with that beloved FROWN! And pushes the hand up to stop the spoon from entering his mouth, little monkey.......

sheree, lol at lachlan's No's, they do everything full body now dont thye so cute! Archie will eats hot chips pizza, grapes or bananas til he burst! It must be really hard taking a 3 hour trip by yourself, it is hard enough with someone to try and entertain, you must go mad trying to drive and entertain. We have thought about getting a DVD player for the car but not really sure if Archie would enjoy watching it for any length of time?? Probably watch it more when he is over 2 i reckon, never know though, its worth a try if your doing the trips youself!
Every morning for last few months Archie eats a banana as soon as he gets up in the morning, this morning there were no bananas, i gave him a big bowl of grapes and he was happy with those, but a few hours later we were reading a book and on one page there is a monkey eating bananas, well that was it, he ran into the kitchen "nana? nana? nana?" he was heart broken when i told him there were no bananas left!! mean mummy, i think thats the very first time i havent been organised since he was born, ive always had to make sure we had formula/clean bottles, bananas, bread, milk, etc, so it was kinda a good feeling to know that i could forget about being organised for a 24 hours and Archie would still survive, he must be getting older, woohoo!!
-
Whahoooo Elissa. I am the same these days, now I don't have to give medicine 6 times a day and no formula, I just make sure I have milk, bread and baby cereal in the cupboard and I am set. Like last night, we got back we weren't cooking, mmmmmm.... what to give Lachlan, bit of cheese, yoghurt, bread. Easily pleased and I am so slack these days.
Lachlan loves stickers on his hands atm, he pinches his skin now even if there are none on his hands. He says ticker, ticker. So cute.
Oh and forgot to mention, he pinches me too.... ouch!
-
evening all gees it is quite in here i feel really lonely
-
We have been chatting all day Shazz, well Elissa and I have been hehe. How r you?
-
Time to catch up on some personals!
Sheree Glad its not just me with the sleeping in thing though I got up before 8 today lol. 35 degrees you lucky thing! I think its gonna be 28 here tomorrow YAY! Whoo hoo for the double DVD player!!!! That should make things easier!
Kim Has Kam gone now? Hows that packing going? I am stalking your chart but I have no idea what it means haha!
Vic Where are ya? I miss ya mate!
Ellissa LOL @ the lady from the Undercover party! Sounds like you got some nice stuff! Victoria sounds like a lovely night away for you. Hopefully the anxiety won’t be passed to Archie. I’m sure if you’re aware of it and handling your own issues it will go a long way to helping any that Archie may or may not have :hugs: We rarely run out of bananas here because Em loves them too!
Christine Have fun at the movies! I am gonna do a massive cull and organize over the Christmas holidays. I’m sorting out all my storage issues. Sadly enough I’m so excited about it. I’m going to get shoe boxes, bag holders, the little step things for the pantry LOL. I can’t wait!
Shazz How’d the spring cleaning go? That is just awful about you DS. I wouldn’t be happy with that at all. :( How is Ryan feeling now? Don’t feel too lonely lol!
Tania Missing you heaps too sweets! Will be great to have you back regularly! YAY for moving into the new place! WOW at your place ride. That sounds so exciting!!! Congrats to your SIL and your friend! How exciting for them both!
Hmmmm packing… I should be doing some but haven’t done a thing. It’s a good thing I have a few weeks to move and I’m moving 5 mins away haha! Would update you more on us but Cali fornication is starting so will be back after that!
-
Nat - with the fans not working in the kitchen and no a/c in the lounge, it is getting rather hot here. Not looking forward to summer, I now understand why people hybernate in their houses now. Come back and update us on you, we miss you. Guess you are not moderating much these days either huh?
Oh and forgot to say, a 9am start for me today, gosh I am a shocker!
Got a bumper for Lachlan's cot finally, how do you get it to stay up well, I tied it at the top and Lachlan just pulls it down. Gosh I hope this wasn't a waste of money?????
-
Not much moderating no Sheree. I figure I have 5 weeks left and then time to re-organize. Can't wait to get all my storage sorted etc. I am sure that next year I'll be sooo much better at time management and have a better idea of what to expect. Also the assignments etc should get easier. I keep forgetting that its the first time I've studied properly in 6 years.
Did you try double knots? Little Velcro dots?? Hmmmmm...
-
Yeah Nat even with us in the Newsagency with time it gets easier I guess and next year we will know what to expect too. Part and parcel of life isn't it? It had been 12 years for me when I started uni and OMG I really struggled.
Aggh ok, double knots won't work it will still slide, might try putting some extra ties on their, ohhh i don't know!!!!!!!!!!!
-
sheree - it sure is great to be able to be a bit relaxed about food and meds now. Lachlan is clever saying sticker! Archie hasn't ever had a sticker but at the end of a kindergym session the teacher gives them a stamp on each hand, he is always the first to the deska nd puts his hands up waiting for the stamp. You finally found a bumper, was it the one you wanted? I have no idea how to keep it up, hopefully the novelty will wear off soona nd Lachlan will leave it alone
shazz - you always seem to pop in at the wrong time lately! Or maybe we pop in at the wrong time......who knows he he.
nat - oh thankyou so much for the hug, made me feel all warm and fuzzy. It must be annoying havig to pack everything up just to move 5 mins away, bet you're excited to get in there though! i haven't watched Cali fornication yet, i keep forgetting its on, the ads look good though.
We were up with DH again this morning at 6:30! Not impressed im telling you now, it is just too early for Archie and he has been all sooky and tired. It is really loud when DH gets ready for work but Archie used to sleep through it, i think cause it si now daylight at that time he is gonna keep gettting up, at least he only does day shift every 3 weeks.
-
Bugger about Archie getting up early Elissa.
-
