Babies Born November 2006 #37

Hi guys. Back in the land of the living.

I'm finding 4 days a week at work almost full-time. I'm so exhausted. Thank god its a 4 day weekend. We are going to be painting, hammering and gluing - home renovations.

Gigi - CCC are not all the same. I looked at lots and lots before i put ella into ABC. It's all down to the people. I asked so many questions and spent a few hours with them just chatting. They were willing to settle ella any way i did. patting, swinging in the bjorn anything. I'm allowed to go as many times as i want to visit her during the day. But i know it will be disruptive if i do. I think a good CCC is a place that understands how hard it is for a mum to leave her baby. Good luck finding a place.

Vicky - hope you get some rest hun. You sound exhausted.

christy - ewww to the worms but i guess its normal for kids to get em.

We are going well. Ella is getting over her HFM. She's starting to eat a bit more so the ulcers are healing.

We are talking more. Bus, Ball, Bath and the mumma and dadda words. You can ask her "where are your toes?" and she looks around as if she's lost them and then she lifts her feet. Very cute. "where are your eyes?" and she winks her eyes shut. SHe's so much fun.

Happy easter everyone. Hope you get lots of chocy.

I agree CCC can be different. I found a Family Day Care with a carer who was more willing and able to do what I do at home. She uses cloth nappies, rocks Jovie to sleep & does a lot with her. So I am happy with her. I will keep Jovie in there until she is 3 and then she'll move to Montessori, that is if we stay where we are LOL. Who knows where we will be.

Vicky - So worms cause behavioural differences? I have had HUGE issues with Matilda the past few weeks. Its been so painful, so many tantrums & defiance. I've been literally ripping my hair out. URGH its been awful. Hopefully the worming treatment will do it!! With my vet background, I took a sample of the worm to work to identify it & it was a threadworm so not from the dogs that I thought, but from people....crazy.

Anyway... I worked 12 hours today and want to crash, but there's nothing good on TV.

Boo... quiet in here??

Vicki, I meant to ask as well, how long does it take after the wormer to get back to normal? I wormed them on Wednesday night, starting to see some improvement on Matilda's behaviour and they slept better last night, thank God!

We are getting ready for our Easter Egg hunt. I've got plastic eggs that I've put jelly beans inside.... can't do the chocolate egg thing, so I will hide the eggs in the morning for the girls to put in the basket & share the jelly beans.

were doing a hunt tomorrow too with sophie, she'll collect, we'll eat!!!!

hope the worms go away soon for you christy!

had a great bargin day yesterday, we picked up our hill swing set we got off ebay, $59 which included the infant swing which alone is $70 new! we also have a hard rubbish collection this week, the people across the rd threw out a hills slide which we grabbed and the other neighbnour threw out a heap off little trikes, and 3 wheeler bikes etc which we also grabbed!! sophie has been having a ball today and now that the weather has cooled down its nice to spend time out side!!

Hi girls, just popping in on parents-in-law's computer.
we're all fine - this move has been huge and so much harder with a belly in the way and a toddler! we are not moving again for a looooong time!!
We're also being stuffed around with getting our internet put back on so i dont know when i'll be back.
heading down to northern nsw (iluka) this week for a little family trip, so should be fun
hope everyone else is well and happy.
hope all your Easter egg hunts went swimmingly and didnt end in disaster.
a trick we used to do at kindy was to hide pegs and then when they found the pegs they got eggs....saves having a)lost eggs b)melted messes
