Clare - oh dear, hope you get a better nights sleep tonight. Poor little L. Banana daiquiris sound good though!!
Well after a 45 min wait at the doctor's (thank god they supplied toys) we got in. One of her ears was a bit red, but her lungs were clear even though she has a bad cough. So we have some antibiotics in case her ear gets more sore in the next few days.
And she bit a little boy this morning! Not enough to break the skin, but still not impressed. She's been doing it a lot to me, just biting my clothes when she gets frustrated with something and we do the whole 'no Katie, biting hurts' and put her down by herself, but the message doesn't seem to be getting through. Will just keep perservering I suppose.
Cally, we are dealing with biting, pinching and hair pulling here too. When she is frustrated she lashes out. I too am doing as you do, but it doesn't seem to sink in. I do notice the biting only occurs when she is teething though. But the pinching is an on going thing.
I am hoping over time it sinks in. I guess repetition and persistance is the key.
I hate having a bully as a daughter.
Clare- hope tonight is better for you all. You sound exhausted.
Clare sending huge hugs your way. I hope you and L can get a good nights sleep.
Ange I have the yummiest choc slice here, a client bought it with her today.......bless her.
Cally I hope K's ear is better soon.
Nella sounds like you were tired. Hope you got my PM.
Andie have a good time away.
Noni woo hoo on the Avon, sounds like your doing really well. Will have to remember to PM you about catching up for Christmas.
Pap where are you? Hope all is well with you an N.
To those who asked I try to book my jobs in for when Logan is asleep at lunch time and do the belly shots at night so that the DH's can come and be in the pics too.
My sister is coming up tomorrow, I cant wait. The weather has been beautiful so we will take L swimming and do loads of shopping. Well I am off to finish editing some pics.
Andy - enjoy your break - you deserve it, catching up with friends will be nice.
No biting here ATM - But Im sure I've just spoke too soon, he did however pull my hair for the first time yesterday and given that it reaches my waist I was in a tangled mess in seconds. Yes it is frustration........ not them being naughty but geez that can be hard to remember while there doing whatever it is you don't want them to do. Distraction works well with hamish for now anyway.
Well looks like we will be moving soon. Perhaps before christmas The house sold at auction and the new owners want to move in ASAP, we can stay till our lease is up in April but figure its better to move now before Im too big and comfortable and get settled b4 bubs arrives too. Then only one more move into our new home (June /July). I have told Joel that I will never be leaving that house, I will die there - thank goodness it's large enough to cater for our growing family and the future etc......
Off to the OB this afternoon - wonder what she'll say about the painful BH starting again ?? Hopeful she can give me something to help.
Cindy, LOL at you not wanting to move ever again. I completely understand (and I shudder at the thought of packing up this house with all our stuff).
Clare, how did she go last night? Poor little mite.
Noni, I used to be a dental nurse in a past life and we did a procedure called a Frenectomy quite a bit on kids who were getting braces where that bit of tissue (called a frenum) that connects the lip to the jaw is removed. It is usually done with a local in the dentists chair, but it may not be a problem for her.
I can't remember what's been said now.
Oh, the cake didn't turn out as good as I first thought - it looked fine but when I cut it, it wasn't quite done and the middle part of the cake looked like a baked custard. It still tasted yummy, but it's better as a dessert cake with loads of really thick cream/icecream If I had of left it in for another half hr it would have been fine.
So yesterday I had my dermo appt and all was fine - great even. Liver and Kidneys are fine and are showing no ill-effects from the medication and all other bloodwork was normal. So we are upping my dose to 5 tablets a week and I go back in January. He was really pleased with the way it is responding to the MTX.
Did loads of Christmas shopping and only have the IL's and DH's brother and sister to go, but I know what I have to get for them, we just ran out of time yesterday to do it. We decided to hold off on getting Lindsay his motorbike till his birthday though, so I got him a DS Lite instead, which I know he covets LOL. Also got some clothes for me and the boys too (well just PJ's for the boys - love Myers PJs for kids). I also got a new christmas tree and decorations too. So we are all kitted out for Christmas now.
And with the charming behaviours that some of our children are showing Alister is a headbutter - if he can't get his own way he will throw a tantrum and headbutt you if he is being held, or he will bang his head on the floor, or walls or whatever. Not all that hard, but sometimes he does do it hard enough to make him cry. So I just tell him no and put him down if I am holding him or just walk away from him if he is already on the floor etc.
