PAP, that is terrible about your FDC's niece. We are a lucky bunch of mummies to have such healthy bubs.

Clare, wish there was some sort of magic cure for you tonsils. I have started reading Twilight on your good reviews, it better be a keeper! L sounds like such a fun girl.

Rainy, happy EDD to you. How exciting. I saw a new baby the other day and I can't for the life of me remember what to do with them lol

MM, any response from MIL? From my experience it seems like grandparents are a bit out of practice when it comes to having kids around. My ILs didn't think it was a problem to leave their back door open - it goes onto a small landing then down a full flight of stairs, on to a driveway and then straight out onto the road below the crest of a hill. DH kept asking them to keep it shut but they didn't think it was anything to worry about I am sure if they had small kids they wouldn't have been leaving it open (or let their snappy dog inside, but that is another rant lol)

Oz, did you do anything for your anniversary? We went to the city yesterday and bought a heap of home reno stuff. How romantic. We did get a marriage saver (=dishwasher), so I am happy with that.

Can't remember anything in the other thread.

Oh, Agnes - welcome back, good to see you. Good to hear all is going well. Did you get everything sorted after your car accident?

So W slept through last night! He had two whole bottles while going to sleep, wriggled a few times during the night but didn't wake until 6am. I am finding that the sleep is only improving with weaning. I so wanted him to self wean but it wasn't happening. I cut out night feeds which helped a lot, but he was still convinced he should have his morning feed at 4am so I have cut that one out too. He wasn't very happy about it yesterday but seemed to accept it alright this morning. It is hard though, the other night he woke up and really wanted a feed and cried for 1.5 hours. I felt sooo bad but knew if I gave in he would expect it again next time. I really didn't want to use any cry techniques.

I am probably insane, but is it possible for kids this age to count? If I give W two of something or he sees two things together he says 'two bees/flies/crackers' etc. I thought it was just random to begin with but he does it quite often and only when there are actually two things.
