ss_storm - much the same here today. I was having a mini meltdown this morning because Amelia just would go to sleep even though she was so exhausted. She kept rubbing her head over and over and friends tell me now that maybe she was hot and uncomfortable. It is hot here today and I have the fan on in her room but maybe she was too hot. She has been asleep for the last 2 hours thank goodness and I keep checking on her but thankfully she seems ok. The problem when she is that unsettled is that half the day is gone and now I don't want to disturb her so grocery shopping will have to wait until later.

Heva - isn't it amazing when our little ones do something all by themselves. I love having the proud mummy moments. Sounds like you have a clever little man there. We didn't really want to introduce the dummy this time but our motto is "whatever works" and as Amelia wanted to suck all the time, we gave her the dummy to soothe when her hand didn't work for her. DD1 still has the dummy but only for sleeping and we didn't have any trouble really with her waking up for it to be put back in when she was a baby. Usually once she was asleep she would spit it out and all was fine. My bug bear is seeing toddlers talking with a dummy in their mouth. I really want to wean her off it as she will be 2 next month.

Miss excited - that is awful that the immunisations didn't go so well for Ash. I think that's the last rotovirus now so he shouldn't be traumatised next time. It is always sad when I see my little ones cry when the needles go in. I shed a few tears myself when I had to take DD1 in and I was pg with DD2 (very emotional I was). It gets harder to hold them when they are toddlers especially when they know what is going to happen.

I better go check on little miss and do some more housework.
