Lis-Yup I'm going to have a party but nothing spectacular...a few balloons, streamers, and some Cars plates, cups and hats. Can't wait to see how the NT scan goes, are you going to ask if they can see the sex??
Kas-It's really easy. Start putting Annabelle on the toilet a few times during the day, and encourage her and tell her she needs to go wee or poo in the toilet. If she's comfortable let hr sit for a while and suss it all out, she may do a wee first time and surprise you, or it may take a little while for her to understand what the word means. It may sound wierd, but if she watches you go to the loo you can tell and show her what you are doing so she has an idea. LOTS of praise is needed when she does anything in the toilet. Alot of people use pull ups but I found they didn't work, if Blake had anything nappy like on, he'd just wee in it for the sake of it. She will learn it's not comfortable to be wet. That's the first step really, once you've got her doing that I can go into more detail starting with underwear and knowing the signs etc. Hope that helps!!
Tan-Fudders omg so cute!!! Can I hire you to bake Blake a Cars cake and send it up? Or maybe too much of a logisitical nightmare?
Dan-I didn;t think Blake would be ready to start at 18 months but I'm a persistant little bugger and wanted him day trained by 2 lol looks like I'll hopefully have him fully trained by then yay! I cannot help you with a budget, I am fantastic at writing them, but shoocking at sticking to them. You sound like you're in a pretty comfy position though so just do what you're doing is my well educated advice lol For the record, my underwear are hot pink with black skulls lol
Danni-Not lazy at all, if you haven't started by June Blakey and I will show him how it's done!
Sarah-Omg Blake says sh*t all the time too now, and Lulu says crap...definitely my doing lol Blake loves all the same things, expecially disney cars...and cars in the street, cars on tv...obsessed! How's X doing?
I'd love to my Ash! I wish I could! but instead why don't you bake a regular rectangle cake, put some icing on it in white and black like a road and stick a few toy cars over the top! Done!
Ash - my friend made a car cake and it was so easy. Make a rectangle for the bottom of the car and a smaller one for the top. Then you cut the top rectangle to make the top of the car curve (IYKWIM?). She then used large choc biscuits for the wheels, iced the whole thing (red of course) and did licorice sticks to outline windows/doors. Tan's idea is great too and even easier! Yes I'm going to ask if they can see sex tomorrow but I'm not counting on them telling me. It's the same clinic I went to with Ellie and back then it was their policy not to guess at the 12 week scan.
Dan- groceries are so expensive aren't they? I find it saves us money to get things in bulk and go to Aldi for some things. I get meat from bulk at the butchers and things like laundry powder/toilet paper in bulk too. Big W often have 20kg laundry powder on special and that lasts us ages. Also I meal plan and shop with a list which is a bit nannaish (sp?) but does save money. I also find Friday is the day when our local supermarket has the most specials. Oh and black knickers today
Tan - an email thing would be great hun and I'm sure Lulu would like to join too. I can ask her as I don't think she is coming in here anymore.
Kass - we have a potty with a removable lid that fits onto the toilet. Good luck with it! We tried briefly with Ellie but she's just not ready and I don't want to push it. Happy to wait a bit longer!
Sarah - has Xavier settled down? LOL at Noah saying s***. They pick up on absolutely everything now don't they.
Danni - yay for the drawers, have fun sorting through the teeny tiny clothes
Hi guys! I am still here, and try and read when I can!! I just have so much on these days I barely have 5mins to myself!! And when I do I am most likely on facebook catching up with friends there also!! Oh my God, all you preggie ones, the time is flying!!!!! So what do you mean by e-mail thing with each other????
Anyway, I really have to get dinner on, I have washing to do and have the next 2 days at work. I also have a job interview Fri and am quietly so so so nervous!!!!! It is more money though, but also more work, but fingers crossed!!!
I promise I will try and pop in more often, I always think of you girls, and can't wait till I can get to Melb and meet you all!!!!!xxxxxxxxxx
Ok I think I have most emails or can get them from FB so I will email you all with my idea so I don't have to keep posting in this d@mn place! If you aren't sure if I have your details just pm me!
Done!
