Happy Birthday Taralee - I hope it was a fabulous day.

I've been to a baby shower this afternoon. My "surrogate" sister.... I have given her a whole heap of stuff from Aston. As I was packing it up today, I burst into tears.... my little girl is no longer, and I don't have a baby boy anymore either...It is all going too quick.

TaraLee - how was your birthday hon? Were you Queen of the Sofa?

What you're saying about the shoes, i do that in summer, but now it is colder, and she is mainly walking on lino over concrete, it's a very cold floor - if i put her in sox she pulls them off. the only way to keep ANYTHING on her feet, is to have the shoes on.

so at home, i've been doing
- barefeet for middle of day when it is warmest
- early and late - sox and leather soft soled shoes
going out - if going straight from car to shops or a home
- sox and soft soled shoes
going out - if going to playground or park
- sox and hard soles shoes (well the flexible soles the FIsher Price shoes have, easy to make the toe and heel touch each other when you bend the shoe)

i appreciate your advice (you're not preaching hon, just sharing info) but wonder if maybe i'm just in a colder climate, and so not sure i could let bilby be barefoot as often as you suggest - i notice you're in QLD, i'm alot further south - but i do like hearing your ideas (on lots of things).

VICKY - maybe ALL of mothering, is a LONG progression of "letting go;s"???
i look at bilby's shoes and think, you're only 18 months old, how can your feet look that big!!! (knowing full well how ridiculous i am being).

being online in these parenting forums, when people are continually becoming pregnant, having dear little bubs - well, it sure doesn't stop the clucky among us from feeling - well - CLUCKY!!! i feel it too.

Kim - dh is feeling heaps better. his nose is healing so well, that was never an issue, day after op, he had no pain. The whole drama was the silly allergic reaction to teh bandages, he is no longer looking liek Rudolph teh Reindeer!! big relief to all three of us. Although bilby bopped him three times on the nose today - yikes.

At the PND support group yesterday, we did some short term goal setting - mine was to buy fruit and veg once a week - to achieve my goal of eating healthier and always having fruit on hand to eat. It felt good to set some goals (4).

ANd i got to go to the dentist (first time since i got pregnant feb06) so that was great (for me) to get done, have the scaling done (not as bad as i had feared) and no fillings (yeh). i normally go to dentist once every six months, it had really been getting me down that i had left it so long. Only painful bit at my dentist is the "do you have private health insurance yet" which i always get asked, three times. i find it so shameful to have to always say "no". it's the truth, but i had having to admit it.

DH got me a sewing machine cabinet for Mother's Day - the kmart brand ripoff of teh Horn brand i reckon - very thoughtful gift (i don't really think we can afford it ) - got no idea where to put it though. He spent two hours today assembling it - Mr Mecanno Man was in his element - and bilby made the styrofoam wrapping go in a million pieces!!! there were two long skinny bits she used like a light sabre! The Force was with her in our hallway today!

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A LOVELY MOTHER"S DAY! MWAH!
