Tanya - way to go - I think at home is better to cos you are in your own environment - for both you AND Maya - when Riley was little I had a MCHN come to our house for the afternoon (cos hubby was in Iraq, we had just moved here and I had no family support - they got onto me quick smart ) it was invaluable - just even being to ask questions when bubs are actually crying and showing what they really do, in a sleep clinic etc they try very hard to create a home environment - but it's not "home" - I hope there are some useful tips there and can't wait to hear your thoughts

Me post lol - yesterday went and saw my boss about return to work (not yet, in about 6 months) but cos I wont be going back to my old job (bit hard to look after 30 staff on 3 days per week) - they are going to support me doing 2 days in the office and 1 day from home so I am stoked!!! Means no child care/afterschool care for the 3rd day - autonomous role so i can span the home day out over a week etc except when we have deadlines etc - it will be challenging cos I am a ppl person so wil be interesting to see how I cope doing project based work like governance/certificate of compliance/terms of reference etc ... but I feel like a huge weight has been lifted - YAY

going to the Canberra show this morning - DH's cousin has a stall there every year so we get free tickets - I am just taking Zander - every year I take the other 2 of course but poor mum actually doesnt get to look around much.... so I am doing drop off and going this mornign for an hour or two - then tomorrow RIley's 6th birthday party at Intencity - then Sunday back to show with the kids -

Zander was great in at work yesterday - I was there for about 2 hours seeing ppl and then went out to lunch with some friends and he laughed, and let everyone hold him - sure he made a few ppl very clucky!

Will check in later - hi to all
