Wow Kim thats going so fast!!
I'm really stuck on this cot to bed thing too. i have no idea how to tell if she's ready, altho i am glad shes sleeping thru so thats a step in the right direction. she can open her bedroom door, so i dont want her coming out in the night, especially since the dog sleeps inside.
good to see u again blanche, how's things? I wish we had DLS here, that way when the sun comes up it would be 530, not 430!!!
Jols - i totally went blank and when kim asked how your bump was going i was surprised like i didnt know lol...how is it going?
how's that packing Christy? one day at a time hun...
Smiles to you Vicky
Have fun in Honkers Nelly!
How's things Gigi?
How's your bump Ann? and how are YOU?
Ahhh....Miss Evie just put herself to sleep for her nap, Chichi is snoring away...i'm off for a nap too
Yes I am back today shattered and tired and very happy to be home. Honkers was great - yep Kim was an incentive trip - all expenses paid is definitely the best way to travel .
Tara not sure if you looked into LL w Vicky but that was same reason I started Tware - there are heaps out there that match your own interests (hence VIcky now books and me TW) so you make money having fun. Just be careful of start up costs - TW is no cash outlay but others are not not.
Welcome back Kim, happy birthday to all the bdays I missed.
Off to scrub and shower been traveling since 2pm yday arvo Honkers time.
sorry not been around had computer issues and now DH is home so doing things in the garden!!
bump going well, will do a pick this morning for you!!
yep kim sophie is one on saturday ..eeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkk scary, we took her to the zoo monday but it rained so we went to the aquarium instead, off to a farm on sat which she'll love!!!
cot bed thing, since DH is home we have just pushed it and she has slept in her bed tuesday day/night, wed day/night, its easier with the two of us to deal with her, she's been doing well and actually sleeps until 7am. i have two rails on the bed and she cant get out otherwise she would never go to sleep!!
BBL for personals, sorry, bacon ready!!

Welcome home Nelly....was the trip good? Jasmine got some Tupperware for her Birthday.....LOL
Jols...bacon..yummmmmmm....well done on the cot/bed issue.....i think i need to start trying harder. Its so draining atm to do anything.
Not long now Christy and you will be all packed and moved
Hope no more vomitting V today....yuck!
Well me...Craig sent me to bed at 930 with a sleeping pill....knocked me out til 5am......ive got alot going on and its the whole way i can zone out from life. Chelsea at FDC today and im sooo greatful. She is getting to be a huge handful, jumps our safety fence, back chats (big time), hits me (and poor BumbleBee), wont listen, hurts Jasmine....the list goes on. I cant do anything with her and i dunno what to do.
kim the cot thing has been tough, i hate seeing her upset and calling for her cot, but she's a big girl now so needs to move!! she's down now, took about 15 mins so getting better slowly!! she has heaps of toys in her bed, too many but if that makes her feel safe, im all for it!
hope chelseas behaviour improves, i think its the age, they know how to press buttons!!!!!
no more vomiting from the boy - thank goodness. how come they can get up in the morning, and literally bounce- when you and them have had the same amount of sleep???? he is asleep at the moment, been down since 10am - and so was I until the bloody phone rang! oh well some sleep in better then none.
hmmmm i'm wondering how the whole bed transition thing is going to go. bed wont be here for another couple of weeks.
Kim - see if you can get a copy of that book boundaries with kids. it really is a brilliant book, with lots of practical advice. the "terrible twos" can be an interesting time. Aston has started pushing at boundaries. he KNOWS that he can't get away with stuff with me - so then turns to daddy - who gives in much to my dismay - but I'm training daddy not to!
Oh gee Christy.....thats not fun....i hope Jovie is better tonight!
V ill do anything right now to work out Chelsea and get her back to normal....i really am not coping with it at all, Craig is tougher then me so she knows theres no one to run too. Glad to hear the boy is better!
Sorry Kim I'm a bit caught up in things here, but I have to say... what Chelsea is doing, is exactly what Jovie is doing atm. The girls today had a hair pulling and screaming fight. *deep breath* its frustrating, annoying and had me screaming as well. Not nice.
Jovie will scream if she doesn't get her way, lay on the ground and kick. We have started putting her into time out or the naughty chair... whatever. She's catching on super quick with that. Matilda at this age was holding her breath and passing out and doing self harm.... so Jovie's heaps easier in comparison. Its definately a 2yr old phase as well. They aren't able to communicate as well as they think they can, so its frustrating. It gets on my nerves & I have to have breaks and take a walk without the screaming.... I am constantly asking for peace.
Vicky *hug* I hope everything is vomit free still.
- morning all.... be back later.

She slept 2 hours today, so I'm just hoping she settles.
