Rainy, you are soooo gunna get caught!!! What if he comes home early??? Do you have any special occasions coming up like anniversaries etc?

MD, I have been using wheatgerm oil on W's dribble rash (left over from pregnancy - doesn't prevent stretch marks BTW). It seems to be helping a bit. He also has nappy rash for the first time ever, these friggin molars are never going to come out!.

Rainy, I would have been superp1ssed if they had decided to ff W at the hospital. I specifically said they couldn't, they are all too eager because I had gestational diabetes. I think I got lucky with my hospital though because some automatically take GD bubs to special care for 24 hours and I got a lovely dr who saw how upset I was at the prospect of a c-section so he kept doing scalp lactic acid tests on W to make sure he wasn't too distressed. I think a different combo of people/places and I would have been sliced and diced.

PP, come to NZ!!!! It is lovely here, you won't regret it. It won't be any colder than Tassie, and late feb/march is still good weather. I would suggest Nelson and Marlborough Sounds area, so beautiful. I got married there in late Feb and the days were long and hot, it has one of the best climates in NZ. You could come to visit me too, but we live in a ski town so it is pretty dead and boring in the summer time. We are forcast to have a hot summer and judging by the past few days they have it right - I have crisscross sunburn all up my arms, that's what you get for letting a one year old rub the sunscreen in lol

Leanne, bummer about the shoe, that would really bug me. LMAO at your boys having fistycuffs because of their cool hair

Ange, PMSL at your fly incident.

W is down to one nap a day now. Today he considered his 20 minute nap on the way home from Playcentre to be enough, then really needed one later but it was well past the 3pm cutoff (or he won't go to bed). So he ended up having a meltdown at dinner and was in bed at 6pm which is 2 hours earlier than usual. Not sure how that will go. We had a great day playing outside in the sandpit and the paddling pool.

Can't remember who was asking about roast veges? I have started pouring a bit of olive oil in a bowl and tossing them though that so they are lightly coated. It makes them crispier on the outside but still moist on the inside. Not as healthy though. I usually put some garlic stock or curry powder or balsamic vinegar etc with the oil so they have a hint of flavour.
