Trish - yes we went to the doctors yesterday. I thought it was just a cold, but then when I got the girls dressed yesterday morning, Tay was covered in red spots. I had a look at Mia and she has a few ... first thing I think is measles or chicken pox. So we went to the doctors, waited an hour at lunch time / sleep time. So the girls were getting toey, I spoke to the receptionist that asked the doctor to take us in next .. thankfully. He was a great doctor, had a soft spot for my girls I think as he has two older girls close in age. He got them out of the pram, lifted them onto the bed and everything. Then he put Mia in his seat and stood and talked to me! Anyway ... he said that he is pretty sure its viral. Their ears and throat were fine. He said the chicken pox is going around, but because Mia has been fully immunised she is fine, just to keep an eye on Tay. Her spots are still there today, so I am not sure what is going on, as she is fine other wise. Mia is still a bit sooky, poor love. But Daddy comes home today, I think that might be part of her problem!

Tough love - its hard but the rewards outway the tears let me tell you. We have also done the tough love thing with Tay, as she has been terrible to put down. We are now seeing the benefits, with our cute little 1 year old sleeping through and not having the midnight wakeups for the past almost week!
