Ella - Happy birthday for today little honey

Kim - Happy birthday for yesterday big honey (cos you're the adult) - that's wonderful that MIL is coming down on the 12th

Jake - Happy birthday for tomorrow

Blanche - thanks for the update, you gotta do, what you gotta do. It's a big step to take AD's, but you have obviously thought long and hard before taking that step.

AJP - lovely belly there!

Nicola - welcome aboard

Us - bilby got to try Gymbaroo today, MUCH better experience than when we tried KinderGym.

she also got to eat lunch outside today, in a creche's pergola type outdoor setting, well i offer food, she refuses food, our attempt at lunch!

first time playing with playdough this afternoon, the creche had rolling pins, cookie cutters and a thing you make "hair" or "worms" thru squeezing the playdough thru.

I don't know what to do about putting her in the hot car. I have metallic sunshades on the windows when we park the car, i place one over her baby seat too. When we get in teh car, everything in the car feels very hot to the touch, and she SCREAMS when i put her in the baby seat, i'm positive it's the heat of the fabric. We were only five mins car ride from home this afternoon, my aircon doesn't start working til about 10 mins of driving, and only works in teh front anyhoo. Bilby is saturated with sweat and so dopey when i take her out - even after a very short ride. it was only 27 degrees here today. we get days of 45 in the summer.

dh STILL hasn't gotten his car back yet, after the vandalism. fixing it is taking ages. one of the repairers DAMAGED the car some more!

but i felt really humbled today. A member on another forum, in same city as me, her dh was killed from a brain virus, (the same one i had but survived). It really put things into perspective to me. Here am i grumbling over little things really, and this poor woman has just lost her dh, their children lost their daddy.

makes you hug the people you love just that little bit harder.
