Julia - I think we'll wait until the baby is ready to go into the cot before we move L into a bed. L was in his basinette for the first 3 - 4 months so hopefully we should be able to get the same out of #2. L's cot is also a toddler bed - not that he will be able to use it as #2 will be in it. We do have a trundle bed that when folded is close to the ground so I think that would do. Saves having to buy another bed, when L will only be going into the trundle bed anyway.
Melb girls - really feel for you with the heat. Hope you're all coping. What's betting after this heat wave there will be a stretch of days around 20degrees!

Anyway dinner has arrived (in the form of hamburgers from the shop next door so I am off).
