shell - definitely try the shower with her. Before putting her head under, count to 3 first, and like and kel said, make a game out of it. Then she'll think it's fun. And if she's sees that you're ok with getting wet, she might be too. And have some toys in the shower for her as well. Nina always has a shower with me in the mornings and loves it.

belle - thanks so much for the chat yesterday. It really cheered me up. Last night was a lot better than yesterday.
I give Nina dimetapp for her cold. I try the natural rememdies first, but if it persists then I give the dimetapp a go.
Hope you start feeling better soon.

nelle - Nina has crayons, paints and chalk. She loves drawing and painting. It will keep her entertained for ages.

kel - That's great that Jesse's room is almost ready. Just wait for the signs until he is ready for the big bed. That's what I did with Nina and it was a really smooth transition.

I've got to run and get ready as mum is coming over to pick me up for a day of shopping. I hope she's paying!!!
