So what did all the kids get for Christmas?
Maddi got a new car seat, Elmo toys, indoor trampoline(which she loves), rocking horse, books, dvd's, clothes, doona set for her big girl bed, more toys, floaties for the pool, shoes & money.
I think that's all. Well at least Cookie wont need toys, i think i have enough to start my own shop up with.
Hope everyone had a lovely day & all the kiddies were well behaved!
Hope you all had a great Christmas. We had a good one. Lunch was at our place and Max had a 2 hour nap in the afternoon...woo hoo! He totally cleaned up when it comes to presents....
He ended up with (count them!) 12 different books...., money, floaties, clothes, a cricket set, bike (which I will take to my mums house) tonka truck with sand toys (he loved this and was eating his lunch with the shovel), wiggles DVD's, crayola stuff...such a spoilt little man. I'm going to have to put some of the books away for his next birthday!
I am lucky too...I got a massage thingy which you stick on a chair and it gives you a full back and shoulder massage. I have it on my computer chair which is now my excuse for surfing the net so often! I also got a new camera, cook books, clothes. Lucky me!
Next it's new year! NYD is my mums birthday so NYE we are just spending a quiet one here in the spa with some champas and then having lunch the next day for my mums 60th....and then the year starts again! arrrgh!
Take care everyone and can't wait to hear any of your Christmas stories! (I am bored...clearly!)
Hey everyone! Just popping in quickly to wish you all a happy new year! We are heading off tomorrow for two weeks away. I'll "see" you all when I get back
Kaz- so sorry to hear your news. Sending you lots of hugs.
Well like all the other bubs Ethan was so spoiled on Christmas day. We gave him his sandpit and toys to go in it as well as a few little things in his santa stocking. When we got to Mum's though he had so many presents. He got sick of opening presents so we put some away for Boxing Day. Because we are moving in a few weeks and the house is bedlam anyway, we left most of the pressie's at Mum's till we move. It was good that Ethan got lots of presents. He is getting really bored and I haven't been able to stimulate him lately as I have been so busy being sick and packing. Feeling like a bad Mum at the moment. When we move I have lots of plans for great things we can do together so hopefully he will be a bit more settled.
Question - is anyone else finding that their toddler is getting frustrated a lot? Ethan is alway frustrated. Not sure if it's boredom or what. Not sure how to help him.
Anyway I'm gonna have a nap before Ethan wakes up.
Have a great new years.
Even tho it was a week ago Christmas seems like such a long time ago. L didn't do too badly with his haul of goodies, choosing quality over quantity. We are seriously at capacity here as it is and anymore toys would just be added to the ever increasing pile.
Julia - a massager WTG. I did my upper back yesterday and one of those would have been really handy. Mo - does Maddi like her Elmo live? It freaks L out a bit and he's just a bit too young to get it. Even the dog is freaked out by it. So Elmo has gone onto the book shelf and will be brought down in a few months or so. Alz - L seems to be in a constant state of frustration or me frustrated with him. He is prone to tantrums, albeit very short and easily distracted. He just doesn't have the language skills to express himself and make his wants known and hasn't realised yet that he doesn't always get his own way. L is also teething at the moment so the pain is a factor in his overall grumpiness. Kim - still no baby? I reckon this boy won't be coming out in 2008.
Actually not a lot happening with me, been feeling pretty sick and have been tired and sleeping a lot. Don't think I felt this sick last time or if I am just letting myself succumb to the pregnancy symptoms earlier.
Went to a playcentre today. We took L to one at 12 months and he was a bit overwhelmed by it all. At 14 months he was so much more engaged. After a bit of uncertainty he was into and out of the ball pit and then went around collecting all the balls and putting them into the ball pit. If only he was that much of a neat freak at home. Still a bit too small for some of the activities but at least this time I didn't feel like I'd wasted my money.
Can anyone recommend a remedy for nappy rash? We usually use sudocrem and have found it to be fantastic, but his poos are so acidic at the moment that no amount of frequent nappy changes and cream is helping it. The poor boy cries each time we change his nappy.
Anyway, may not get in tomorrow to chat so wishing you all a very happy new year. We are getting together with some friends which will be nice. Only bummer is that I won't be drinking. Anyway..... Happy New Year everyone.
Sorry just popping in real quick for you Saf, PawPaw Ointment is the only way to go for Nappy Rash. Although my kids have hardly ever had it, i remember Liam getting 1 really bad dose of it and nothing worked but PawPaw. Whenever Chels's bot looks like it is starting to get a little red, I put it on her and its usually gone next day.
Will pop back soon, I have been lurking a bit. Hi all!!!
