Hey again,
Sorry was a bit negative last post... My moods are quite transparent, LOL.
WOOOOHOOOOO @ the job Vic!! Congratulations
Thanks for the understanding re Phoebe's cranks. I am often in a crank myself which of course doesn't help. (Like the other night.) Wonderful that CJ enjoys books! We have had some very special times reading with Natalie, and even now she loves having books read to her... and she "reads" to her toys and to Chippy the chipmunk on my iPhone, LOL! I hope it is something she continues to enjoy through school - I didn't enjoy reading in school and I think I missed out on a lot.

Phoebe slept through last night, if you don't count her waking at 9pm after I transferred her to bed from the car (we'd been at my parents'). I went in and gave her a cuddle and popped her back down ready to pat, pick up again, pat etc and she just sighed and went back to sleep! OMG! It may never happen that easily again but I hope we are turning a corner.
The girls are playing more like sisters these days. Still mostly independently, but there are some lovely share-y moments and some almighty squabbles as well. It is fascinating to watch.
Phoebe loves television! And she is so fast on our stairs now - she has an interesting style! She walks up on hands and feet but when she comes back down she slides down feet first on her belly, LOL! It is hillarious.
Anyhoo, my mum is arriving soon so I'd best get myself organised to go. xx
