MM: we are in a similar boat with the milk. Leila has dropped all her bottles as of last week. wont have a bar of it. i kinda feel sad about it too as i really really enjoyed our evening ritual of cuddles with a bottle before bed.
Cally: eewwwww. 5.30am wake-ups are the pits! we had a few in the beginning with Leila. it took a good week to sort out in the change-over back to normal time. when she was younger it was waaaaayyy easier LOL! i had to giggle at K hyperventilating over the rocking horses, that is so cute.
PP: yeah the DFO seed store is where i bought the first ever thing for Leila when i was about 4 months pg! we were in melbourne cause DH had a job interview and i saw the store in canberra but baulked at the price until i saw the outlet! LOL!
MM- Liv still has her morning bottle about 6.30am and a bottle around 5pm. The boys however were a different story they dropped all there bottles not long after they were one. My way of thinking is so long as they have heaps of fluids during the day. I have been thinking I should be dropping the whole bottle thing soon oh and the dummy.
Clare- Oh I love outlet shopping when we were in america I bought all my stuff from outlets.
Cally- Next week sounds relaxing not having to go to work. Hope you have a nice time.
OMG the first hair cuts are really exciting. Livi is getting hers on the 2nd May.
Well I am off
good night to all and have a wonderful weekend.
cally - i hear you on the early wake ups - we have had a lot of those lately... and the norm is now about 6 which i still hate!! we have him going to bed at the normal 7-7.30 time so at least that transition has happened, i had these awful visions of him being too tired to stay up past 6.30.
MM - N has one bottle of milk a day at bedtime.. he asks for it but i am sure it is habit not a need... i think if they are getting calcium from other sources then if they drop them - great. personally it isnt something i will force i figure he will drop it soon enough and i love giving it to him! well done on losing the night one though - i know how hard it is to see those break throughs through when you are tired and you KNOW something else will work faster...
we went and checked out the creche nearby again today and i think we will go with it... for 2 days a week. so he will have 2 days creche and 2 days fdc til i stop work. not ideal but ok.. and then i think we will stick with the creche. it is excellent and i think he will thrive there actually - it is a small room with 10 kids 15 months to 2yo ish. and the outdoor area is AWESOME! he went wild when we were out there. think it will be fab for his gross motor skills... anyway will see how we go but feeling great it is getting sorted and dh is also stoked. it is good to hear how katie and leila love their day centres too.. makes me feel more positive about it all (MM how is maddie going at hers??).
Just popping in to say hello and to answer all the questions and make remarks on everything thats been going on...
Unfortunately...my memory is still shot so just remember that I am thinking of you all.
Nothing too exciting here. DH is away for work and we head out to FIji next Sunday. DH is only over for a week but I'm staying for 12 days. Woohoo!
Sarah had her immunisations on Wed and has not had any problems at all. Apparently tho the flu jab one needs a booster of sorts if it is their first one. (?) Didn't know that so will head back after Fiji to check with the dr and get it done with mine.
damn...S is pulling on my arm for attention. Geeez...I just gave her attention like an hour ago. Why are they so needy?
MM:
Jack was down to one bottle before June last year & it was a night time bottle which I dropped when Alex started having his meds at night & I would give them a cup of milk each. They drink alot of milk though.
MD:
Glad your app't went well & fingers are crossed the rest goes well too.
Clare:
Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Its weird cos now I couldn't care less about QLD but yet I am still motivated to pack & organise the house! LOL. I have to think of something soon as my current leave expires on the 30th June. I can apply for another 3 months (under the maternity leave policy we have) but that is still a decision, or resign. I have to make a big one decision regardless, one way or another.
Rainy:
I was being a good (supportive) wife. We used to come down here & visit my friend & loved it down here. I once said if I was to ever move interstate it would be to here. My ex decided he wanted to move here, I wasn't to keen but I said okay, so we moved.
***
Can't believe how smart our buba's are. I walked in to see Jack & asked where his dummy was, & he knew which side of the cot he threw it out of!
He saw me with his PJ's & I saw in him he knew what it meant. I told him to give Alex a kiss so he goes over & kisses him on the head then turns & runs to his toddler bed (cause that is where i change him).
Had a bit of a scare yst. Found a tick in Alex's scalp. He had to get a local so the dr can cut it out. He was pretty good with it all. The tick was so tiny but so embedded. Just glad it was found before it made him sick & had a chance to start feeding.
Yikes Andie! So glad you spotted it early cause they can be soooo nasty. It never ceases to amaze me just how much they know already.
Kate, glad to hear the vaxes went well. Am jealous of you having 12 days in Fiji - I assume you're not worried about everything going on there atm?
PP that's awesome about the center. Bet it makes you feel better about all the changes lately when he takes to it so easily. You did really well handling the 'old' carer the way you did. I know that FDC's do get attached to their little ones, but she just seemed to be a bit toooo attached and that can't really be healthy kwim?
Leanne, it's so hard to have to choose a school. Luckily it was a pretty easy choice for us - we have a fantastic public school which DH went to. Do you have to worry about being in the right 'feeder' area?
And how has Clare been over the weekend? I'm sure you will make it up to L when you're 100% better
MD, so what do you have in mind for your Ceremony? I think it is exactly what you should do. Super happy that you're in love with your naturopath too LOL. All this treatment is just going to be a formality kwim?
H, I can't remember how much milk they are *supposed* to have at this age, but it doesn't have to be milk now though, so long as they are getting enough dairy from other sources they are pretty right. Alister will still have a morning and bedtime bottle of 240, and sometimes if he wakes during the night he will either ask for bot-bot or bippee (dummy) so that solves the problem for me LOL. But lately if he wakes and asks for a bottle, I will give him one then and not worry about his usual morning one kwim? So he will just get up and have brekkie so he's only having not quite the 500ml. I don't know when I will stop him having the bottles, probably when he's TT over summer. He wont have a bar of cows milk either - I have tried several times and he wont drink it if he knows there is even a hint of cows milk in it. So we are on karicare toddler milk (cause even though he eats yoghurt, he hates cheese so he wouldn't get enough dairy otherwise) but the plus side of that is he's now stacked on the weight and is hovering at 12kg now! So as much as I hate that stupid grinning bear, I will have to stick it out for longer.
Busy few days for me - went to Griffith to get footy boots and did some shopping, then had Auskick registration yesterday, then home and did the housework and washing and even mowed the lawn before getting ready to go out to a neighbourhood get together down the road (OK so by down the road it was 12km away, but we are all still neighbours LOL) which was great, kids had a ball and we got home at midnight. Alister is still in bed LOL.
