Hi everyone! Single parenting tonight – will be asleep when DH gets home and asleep when he goes to work tomorrow, then the same tomorrow night! I hate this. Then we (Charlie and I) are going away for five days on Thursday, so family time is a thing of the past for the moment. Oh well, it means I get to spend some more time on BB!

Jo – hope you were able to have a nice afternoon, whatever you decided to do. By the way, was it you that was having problems with Kaleb brushing his teeth?

Mitch – Poor Aaron! At least it’s “just” pneumonia (!) and nothing more serious. Glad you were able to enjoy the wedding anyway. I hope he feels better soon, and that nobody else gets sick.

I can’t remember exactly what it was about Nurofen, but I know that a lot of people have had allergic reactions to it. From what I heard, it is one of these drugs that they rush through without testing it properly, and then they find out that bad things can happen. Sorry I’m not being more specific!

We had a lovely morning tea – I made the most naughty coconut and choc chip muffins. I made our friends keep them at their house so I wouldn’t eat them all! It was actually the first time we’d ever been to their house… Because I feel a bit hemmed in at the moment I was really excited to chat to another mum. I would love to call her and ask her to go out again sometime, but because I don’t really know her I’m a bit nervous to. Oh well.

Getting a bit nervous about our trip away. I’ve borrowed my BIL’s portable DVD player so that Charlie can watch “Spot” on the plane and not annoy any other passengers! Has anyone else got any tips for flying with toddlers? Also, another question… the reason I asked about Kaleb, Jo, was because my boy is driving me crazy when it comes to having a bath and cleaning his teeth. It’s almost like he’s scared of the bath at the moment – I don’t know why because he usually loves it. He usually lets me brush his teeth and then has a go himself. Sometimes these days he flat out refuses, or will only do it himself, and he can’t do it properly yet, of course. Has anyone got any ideas with this? I’m trying not to force the issue atm because I don’t want him to have any negative associations with it… I hate how bubs just change their minds like that!

Anyway, an early night calls. Hope you’re all well.
