tania - its good to know that its not just Archie who is so fixated on the dummy atm, you just reminded me about Archies needles, he hasn't had any type of reaction to the needle yet, so maybe it is catching up wit him today, he is slightly warmer than usual and very clingy and tired. The last couple of days i have been telling Arch that dummy is for sleeping and it stays in bed, but it is hell without it so i keep giving in, AF is here this week so i might try and be stronger with the dummy rules next week. Thanks for the ideas. You must have been really hungry today, had you had brekky?

shazz - well done, this has been such an exciting few weeks for you! im sure your parcel will get there just fine.

christine - yay for year 1 with Amy, you guys must have really sucked up to the Principal in the past year!

kim - it was just the xmas do for jay's work, 3 course meal and drinks. I agree totally, i just hate the boy/girl things like pink and blue and sexist toys, i can tell you there is plenty of pink in Archies toy box, and when the hand me downs run out and i get to buy Archie's clothes, there will be a splash of pink in his ward robe too! Stupid thing is that Jay is totally not sexist or your typical mans man, he does just as much house work as me, more cooking than me, all the ironing, some of the childcare, yet he thinks Archie can't play with a kitchen/ironing board/clothes line/dolls pram etc. Mind you he only expressed his dislike once, i doubt he'll do it again.

Its been a LOOOOng day here, AF is visiting and she is being quite a b!tch about it too. Jay has been an absolute sweet heart, keeping Arch busy in the shed til bedtime and his mate came over and cooked us tea, spoilt i am tonight! Have just beeen lying on the couch tonight eating chocolate.
