Kirsty - I hope the docs say Gussy is a good candidate for the helmet and that it works really well. He's such a little fighter though that the other kids wouldn't give him a hard time. As a teacher I've seen lots of kids who have various reasons you would expect them to get teased, but if they have a good attitude and a strong personality the other kids won't pick on them.

Kell -bummer about Molly needing her brace longer. Excellent on using her potty though!

Tracey - I went back to work this week, but very part time and I'm fitting it around dhs roster as much as I can so he is getting lots of daddy/son time. I think he enjoys it (I hope so...)

Linda - love the new photo of Emma!!

We got a pleasant surprise this week - one of my students mums is a real estate agent, so we got her to appraise our house, and she said it's worth a lot more than we thought. In fact, she thinks we'll make 100000 profit easily on what we paid 3 years ago!! So we can now look at much nicer properties than we thought. Just as well after the crap we saw last weekend! So, I'm off to look at 2 more places tomorrow in a much more satisfactory price range. \/
