Noni, W doesn't seem to be scared of loud noises but he is getting shy around strangers atm. Don't feel bad about the portacot thing, that is what they are made for so I guess loads of people do it. If she is happy in there then it is all good.

Cally, my DH gets asthma too. It is a PITA. He always runs out of inhaler and keeps me awake at night. He has been better lately though, he needs it quite a bit here because it is cold. Hope he is feeling better.

Sherie, I am like MD, putting off all the domestic stuff as long as I can lol. Hope you find something constructive to do with your time

MM, how is Maddie? Could the rash be hives? Has she had anything new to eat or have you changed washing powder?

Clare, hope those teeth come up soon for L. Bummer about Stella. Did you end up getting a behaviourist re the snapping?

The doctor went well (besides the hour long wait). He is completely healthy but the doctor pointed out some eczema on his face that I didn't even notice lol It is a bit rough and bumpy but I thought it was something to do with his red teething cheeks. The builders aren't here today so thankfully he is getting his good big sleep after playcenter.
