Queenie, I am sure you are doing a great job. I think all of us have moments where we just don't know what to do. It gets better and better as they get more interactive. Don't worry about not having a perfect nursery either - we only have the basics in there and three animal shapes blu-tacked on the wall. I bet you are looking forward to getting her brace off. Since she has worn it now does that mean that she won't need an op later? My DH aunt had HD, but it wasn't picked up until she was 18 months so she had to have surgery. Is her name pronounced sar-sha or sash-a?
I agree with that pets and wooden floors don't mix, I am forever sweeping up fallen hair. Last night I stepped on a lizard body with bare feet thanks to the cat leaving presents.
