I got the River part right I think it's a great name Anna! And most importantly, you and Ryan love it.
meg - woohoo on green grass! How was swimming? Nina's swimming lessons finished last week.
caddie - what a great surprise for your parents!
How are all the kids reacting to Christmas coming, do they sort of understand what's going on?
Nina is very excited, she keeps saying 'santa coming soon. Santa in sky, bring presents for Nina and Emily, sooooon'
So far she's been really good with the presents under the tree. She hasn't opened any of them. She knows who's is who's, and I reckon it'll be her giving them out on Christmas Day!
Anna - Great name! But I thought Gage was great too.
Jodi - Tiana loves the lights too. When we are driving all you hear from the back is 'pretty lights, oh more pretty lights!' She isnt as good with presents though. If i had any out she would be opening them!
Maz - I'm sure Mat will catch up fast. He has done so well, he will continue to do so I'm sure.
Caddie - What did you do with your day to yourself?
Ness - Hope the move goes smoothly!
Chrissy - Hope that the kiddies are behaving and the bike is coming together!
Not much going on here. My sister is home from the Navy for christmas and automatically got roped in for babysitting duties! We are having xmas lunch at mums but opening presents here in the morning.Tiana has destroyed the bottom half of the tree there is like 4 decorations left within her reach!!!
John has been away all week, his birthday was yesterday so we will get takeaway tonight and play the Wii (his present). He is away again Sun but will be home Tues I think. Just in time to put the tramp together on wednesday... I am really excited about giving it to Tiana! She will love it.
She's going to love the trampoline. We got Nina one for her birthday, and we're on it everyday. She's pretty good at doing different bounces now.
For Christmas Day, we're going to my parents for lunch. We usually have it here, but it's too much hassle with the 2 kids this year. Apart from that, not much planned. Probably just relaxing in the pool. It's usually one of the hottest days of the year here on Christmas Day, so as long as we're in air con, or a pool, it doesn't matter
off to Agnes this arvie, then tuesday we drive up to Rocky to have xmas eve, day with mum, my sister, BIL, 3 nephews, 1 neice, 2 foster kids and us then boxing day down to g'stone for another xmas feast with IL's, SIL and nephew
then I think on about the 28th we go back to Agnes and dont come home till the 4th
and Shell I wont forget if we get to bundy will definatly call
We're having xmas lunch at my uncles sister place, be bout 20 adults and half dozen kids, quite fun we do a crappy KK where you spend $5 and try find crappiest gift, good for a laugh. We'll prolly pop into my ILs late arvo/ dinner to catch up with them and BIL so be busy day.
Jodi- Not sure how much Ash actually understands, she knows there are pretty lights and presents and santa but don't know if she relates it to xmas or they are just things around at the moment. She loves it all anyway.
AnnaT- Nice pick, we must like each others tastes in here if we like using the names!
Meg- when you get yr results from the test? And yeah we've had some probs with blankets being off and getting cold, our bedrooms all upstairs so they are warmer then most and I've just been putting flanlette PJs on and socks so she been ok. More in colder months its prob and I usually just put lots extra layers clothes on.
Maz- Oh god how Vy today? Ash been playing up bit more than usuall lately will be sweet as pie one sec then screaming like devil next. Its bloody tiring. Hopefully Mat will pick up quickly, being the tough fighter he is he'll be moving in leaps and bounds after he fully gets over the virus.
Bea- That'll be great for you to get the whole night off. I don't think it'll take you too long to find some dates. you're a hotty!
Df car fixed, all that money later but at least its going well, Df reakons better than its been working for a long time so still got life in it.
How everyone else progressing with TT? Ash sits on toilet constantly but won't do a thing and will only sit there for like 10 secs so wouldn't even have time. Drives me nuts she seems eager in the loo, knows when she is going to poo cause she goes in another room and when I have her nappy off she also goes elsewhere to wee, usually same room so she knows what she is doing, just won't do on toilet. I think next week we'll just have to tackle full on and have no nappy at home just training pants and see how we go.
Rach - Getting confused with names again??!! Hopefully you'll make it in, but don't make a special trip in, I know you guys are flat out as it is.
Shell - Weeellllll.....Miss A decided to do a poo in the toilet yesterday without telling me. Some of it made it into the toilet and she did try to wipe her bottom........
Bea - Just wanted to say congrats on feeding MJ for 9 months!!! You did so well honey, I'm so proud of you And enjoy your night out, I'm thinking we're overdue for one ourselves, DH and I don't get to go out much as a couple, we don't have many babysitters, and they usually are busy themselves. Oh well, I 'spose it won't be too much longer and Miss B and Miss T will be old enough to babysit Miss A (and she'll be old enough to be able to be babysat by them). Still a few years down the track though.
Jodi - We have a constant chorus of "Santa Claus is coming to town" and "Jingle Bell Rock" in our house at the moment, and I got told that "Mummy, you better watch out!!!" (with a concerned look on her face) "why?" "Cause Santa's coming to town!!!" (runs away laughing her head off!)
Maz -
Hi everyone else. Sorry, gotta run, my little munchkin is being a bit demanding, and I've got my niece here as well.
Kinda sad to end BF but well pretty proud of how far we came
Just got back from the Tattoo place.. now i finished BF i was going to book in to get the girls names added to my tat and ended up getting it done then and there!! ouchies... nah it wasnt to bad at leas i didnt have time to stress out about it, over and done with in 30min
well im moving tomorrow so i hope you all have a lovely weekend
Shell - TT is going fantastic here, Jack tells me if he wants jocks or nappies, been on anti so a few extra #2 so he has wanted nappies a bit more but thats ok, we have had afew trips out in jocks he went to a friends place in jocks they went swimming and after 1 hr or so he jumps out with toit mummy toit, and yep he needed to go,same thing we went to mums group party we were there over 3 hrs and all of a sudden mummy toit so jack is at that stage of being able to hold it for a few hours .... I would say we still average 1 accident every 2 days and usually if he has a had a big dinner and taken a while to eat it. It takes time and patience we did a few days where we did nothing no going anywhere etc seemed to help good luck hope she picks it up soon
I think it's a great name Anna! And most importantly, you and Ryan love it.
