Aah Kim i'm so sorry to hear about your family dog - its such a sad thing to have to go through and I swear that sort of thing only gets harder as you get older!

Nic - sounds like your day at the park was a bit rough, its good that the other mothers there helped you out, that gives me a bit of reassurance that if I get into strife in public with Hayley that some nice other mother might pity me and offer some help.
I often feel like such a clutz when I'm out and about with her, especially when i'm getting her in and out of her carseat - she has been patient with me so far thankfully!

I must have missed the posts on the Sydney catch up - can anyone fill me in with more details? Parramatta on Monday??

also I've put some photos on totsites website: Hayley Claire Payten

gotta love free websites like that!
