arghhhh.... so over being a woman! finding it incredibly hard to love this body that has given me three beautiful children!

It is nice to have my house back - and fart when ever I feel like it lol. Aston cried when we dropped the girls off yesterday, and went looking for them this morning funny boy.

Nelly - gotta love those tanties! have you looked online for a Monkey? fingers crossed that this is the month for you.

Kim - you have a little houdini on your hands. I'm so glad aston hasn't figured out how to do that- yet!!

Blanche - have you tried picking emelia up and removing her away from you when she hits you? I have done that with Aston - picked him up and planted him somewhere away from where all the action is. and if he throws food or plates when in the highchair, i take everything off him and turn the chair away from us. for a minute at the most, then go and speak to him...telling him that its not ok to do "whatever"... then we have a cuddle. The concept of "I did this, and the consequence was being removed from where all the fun is" is starting to sink in I think. I guess its like mini time out. if that makes sense.

A book that I highly recommend is Boundaries for Kids, written by two pyschologists. Its a christian book - with biblical references through out, which if you find too much you can just skim over, because there is HEAPS of pratical, sound solutions that work!!! I wish I had read it earlier then I did...

Gigi - yay on the projector thing working, and getting some sleep... may it continue!!!

Jols - Sophie's mouth must be so sore. poor darling. bloody teething monster!! How are you doing hun?

Ann - how are you and Ella?

christy - are you lurking darling?

i'm blahhhhhhhhhh today... in pain and over being a woman. going to have to take some strong painkillers soon...which i hate doing when its just me and aston. i figure if I take them now...by the time he has a morning sleep I can lay down too... and hopefully get through the day. blahghghg....
