BG - Oh poor E! How sad that she hurt herself when she was being such a good girl! Oh, I was talking to some of the girls at mother's group the other day, and two of them work with children (one in child care, the other in kindy I think), and apparently it's now recommended not to put ice on a baby/toddler/young child anywhere from their shoulders up. I had no idea until they told me. Apparently a cool flannel is meant to be better. Not sure why... Not that I'm saying you've done anything wrong though! I want to ask my doctor about it because I'm not sure about it yet.
I'm glad your headache is a bit better since seeing the chiro. No more falls for you missy!!!
ooh, i didn't explain that very well! we have only ever put cold cloths on E at home, and the other day, we got a cold pack (not ice) and wrapped it in a dry tea towel - so it was cold, but it wasn't icy. the bruise i feared was gone the next day! yay!!

i have been working on getting things "just so" for E's birthday - have her outfit here, headband and clips on the way, shoes either on their way, or here (depends on whether i like the ones i won on FB when they get here!), food almost all ready (freezer is looking good! just gotta make some more sausage rolls today). loot bags all pretty much done, just need to add names to them (we did age-appropriate loot bags so it took a bit longer to organise, but i'm happy with them!), ummmmm, just gotta clean up and make all the spare beds properly accessible. at this stage we have 9 extras overnight on Saturday night - maybe a couple more. will have beds everywhere!! am waiting for DH to tell me he wants to do something ridiculous like bacon and eggs for breakfast for everyone next morning - ummm NOPE - there is cereal, there will be bread - if that isn't enough for them, they can go early and get maccas on their way home! i can't believe our princess is one is SIX days! oooh, i think i will have to go and buy myself some jeans at the end of the week - my jeans are falling down and look bloody awful - and i figure i'm not wearing a skirt if it's 10 degrees! and don't want to wear work clothes either
