Oh wow this has to be the first time I've started the thread.... and I don't have anything much to say but DS ran into the daycare centre this morning - obviously mum is not as exciting as she used to be.

Good luck tomorrow DeT ... It's hard at first xxx

How is everyone??

Ellie im o glad your DD's are doing so well!!

Det how did kinder go??

[Malyna]

Also noticed an improvement in his speech and his confidence around others. Plus at playgroup he's a lot more disciplined. He used to just run around, but now he actually sits down for craft activities and for food.

Still cannot believe it's been 3 years since we were all talking about when our babies would arrive.

Hey ladies,

Been quiet in here! I went looking for this thread in my subscriptions and realised I'm not even subscribed, oops! My bad!

How are all our big 3 year olds? Mine is wreaking havoc - we are in that awkward day sleep-no day sleep transition and its very hard! I know I am lucky to even have her still having a sleep at this age but then she is awake all night so it's a trade off.

She is loving kinder and I'm mostly enjoying this age! She still does push the boundaries though.

Guess what? I get to meet Heaven and her gorgeous girls on Monday!

[Nai]

Wow! That will be awesome op! Give heaven and her girls hugs from us too

[Olive]

Wahhhhhh I'm jealous OP!!
