Elissa - do you want the link for the bright bots stuff on ebay is what I meant by link.

Well our menu is (well this is what I send to daycare):
B/fast -
weetbix mixed with fruit puree and yoghurt

m/tea -
half a banana
few bits of granny smith apples
and a heinz fruit museli bar
(generally these get sent home)

Lunch - Ham sticks, cheese (sometimes), sultanas (that get sent home), country cheese biscuit with cream cheese and maybe a crusket (plain - will only eat it this way) oh and a yoghurt

Tea - our only success is: mashed potato with frozen vegies mixed in with whatever meat we are having finely chopped and mixed into it, if he is good we give him icecream

Basically our menu does not vary much more then this and even these things he becomes fussy on and doesn't want either. Our menu is very small, even without the food intolerances.

We have to feed b/fast and tea as this is the only way he will eat a good portion, otherwise he will only have 2 spoonfuls.

Lunch I let him go for it and don't stress about it too much.

I feel for you, I know when I had to cut out foods when breast feeding it was near impossible esp milk as everything has milk in it - EVERYTHING. So glad lachlan is not intolerant anymore, it is gr8.

It was a friend that did my reading, so I guess I trusted her alot more then anyone else.

I am pretty confident this one is def not a girl, def doesn't punch and kick me like a girl. Def a boy I reackon, and I saw that wee wee. At my 3d scan in a couple of weeks I will just double check, but not feeling like this one is a girl either. Gosh what a shock it would be if he came out as a she. Highly unlikely thou.....

Oh and have to agree on girls later on in life that is for sure.

sheree - about 5 mins after i posted i realised what link you meant

thanks but dont worry about sending me the link, im sure i have seen them on ebay before, i will find them if i decide to by some, ta.

yeah intolerances are awfully hard to get around especially dairy and tomato! It is SO great that lachlan doesn't have intolerances any more, gives me hope that Archie will eventually grow out of it too. Gosh it must be frustrating that Lachlan refuses to eat though. We have the opposite children, Archie LOVES his food and will eat anything with dairy or tomatoes, but give him boring foods without those and he doesn't eat a lot.

It must be hard to read that you should be having a boya nd girl when you know that Riley isn't a girl, you must be trying hard not to entertain the thought of it being a girl so that you dont get "let down" again at the scan. What date is the scan?

After bribing him with lollies Archie has manged a 1.5 hour nap, thank goodness cause we are going to a friends place for tea tonight, so now we can stay til a decent hour

Agggh no I know this one is a boy, seriously, and I have def come that realisation. Its all good other then these other issues I have put forward to you all lately. Sound ungrateful, don't I?

Good work Archie.

My little man, nearly climb out again, three times I went in to him crying. 1st time he had thrown everything out including his bottle with water in it. So gave it back to him, chucked all his toys back in and told him, ur going to sleep!!! Walked back out. 2nd time I went back in he had done it all again only this time, I plonked him on his but and said right no toys they are staying under your cot, you are going to sleep! 3rd time I went in, he is asleep. Little ratbag, persistence is the key. And wade was going to get him out the 2nd time we went in, and I said no, one more time..... Grrr..........

Thats Riley's new trick too- he throws eveything out of his cot including his blanket and his dummy which he won't sleep without! Sheree- you are no way too old to cope!!! (I am 41!!)

At least you were alot younger then me when you had your first Christine. That is what I am finding hard. Not very tolerant these days. The business does not help thou.

Agggh these boys trying to cut out there day sleeps. Tell me this is not happening. It is too early, I need to sleep when our new baby is here!!!

yeah giving up the day sleeps really sux, i would panic if i was pregnant and he gave up his sleep! Archie refused edays sleeps for almost 2 weeks, and now he has had a sleep every day for almost a week, it takes a good hour or more for him to fall asleep and it takes bribes, lots of patience, and quite a bit of convincing that he just needs to have a very little sleep...

sheree - i reckon lachlan will keep his sleep for a while longer, hopefully it is just a passing stage

I just brought Archie home from our friends place Jay stayed behind to kep drinking of course. Arch was an absolute angel, we hardly knew he was there, he happily stayed up til 11:30. will be interesting to see if he has night terrors again though due to him being out of routine and being up so late...
