Hey all

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.
