Marydean, I've increased the layers on Alisters bed too - we have flannie sheets, a cotton waffle weave blanket doubled over and a blanket my Nan made for him with polar fleece and lined with flannlette, plus he wears a polar fleece sleeping bag. He slept quite good last night too and yeah, I think half of the wake ups are from him being cold.

And I found another dead mouse this morning too. I got up and I could just catch a slight wiff of it so I had to go hunting again and found it just behind the pantry cupboard - not pretty.

Hayley, I would rather 1-2 days of sheer hell from getting teeth than weeks on end of mild/moderate unsettled-ness that's for sure. I don't remember the other kids being this grizzly for so long with them, but then they didn't get any teeth till they were a fair bit older.

Noni, LOL at you getting up early for nothing. Was it cancelled due to rain?

Cally your'e doing really well with the settling. I sometimes pop Alisters dummy back in if he wakes after a short time (like now - I just heard a bit of a sooky noise ) and I get longer out of him. Does him good to have a longer sleep too.

Cassius, I hope Leila starts to feel better soon, poor little mite. It is hard on them when they get colds at this age. The backpack is by Tiger Tribe - the girls ones they had were sooo cute. I was very tempted to buy one for my niece LOL.
