i did a big post last night and the screen froze, so here i go again....

tania - OMG at your rough SIL, Jayden must be a confident little swimmer though. It feels great to not put on much weight during pregnancy, i was probably 5 kg overweight before i got pregnant and i didn't put on much either, i reckon i would have put on more pregnancy weight had i not been overweight to start off with.

kim - i rang parent helpline about Archies sleeping and a lovely woman gave me a routine to try that worked instantly. I would cook a peice of toast with marg and put it in his room and then gove him a bath. From the abthroom we would go straight to the bedroom so he didn't get stimulated by the telly in the lounge roo. He would get dressed then eat his toast. I would then get into bed with him and read 3 stories, then say goodnight and leave the room, 90% of the time he would go straight to sleep. Now it seems he has changed yet again and we need to tackle this a new way. Put him to bed an hour later than usual last night and he only cried out once so hopefully its just a case of him needing a later bedtime. LOL at Darcy telling you off for not using your manners, that girl is so full of spunk, i reckon your gonna have your hands full when shes a teenrager!

nat - well done on the shoe bargain! Oh gosh, boredom does nothing to motivate me either, its terrible.

eeeeeewww, 1 thing Archie will never be getting is a fish, they freak me out, i know im very strange.....the fighter fish do sound like an easy low maintenance pet though.

Oh my goodness Arhcie suddenly has huge attitude. He has started speaking (or yelling) in thisreally angry voice with this horrible look on his face, it surprises me cause i am always really calm when i tell him off i rarely use an angry voice or yell at him. Im hoping its just cause he is getting teeth through, but i have a sinking feeling that its just cause he is entering the terrible 2's, and i am scared!!!!
