Marni - the water thing worked well here and so did DH getting up to her but the past few weeks if she has any slight idea I'm there (ie if I happen to sniff, cough, sneeze, roll over or even move in bed) and it's all over I have to get up to her, so hoping that in her own room if DH gets up to her that will be much easer for her to settle again. With her standing in bed self-settling has gone out the window during the day again but know that will be back on track soon enough.

How cute her chasing the kitten, though I'm sure it doesn't think sometimes I pity our dog once A is walking, she terrorises her enough as it is now, we're trying to teach her to pat and not pull fur, poke eyes and pull ears and side of her mouth

Just trying to get organised for camping and just worked out there is going to 6 kids under 4...........going to be intersting I reckon! A's birthday is good friday so going to go into down day before and get a cake and take a couple of small pressies for her. We got her one of those tricycles that convert the bigger they get. When we get back and moved in will have a BBQ home for everyone here, hoping to convince DH's mum to come over from Vic (his two brothers & her cousins are coming camping so will be there for her actual bday)

Well I better get off my butt, though can't be bother as weather here is cold, wet & rainy but it's got to stage I've to go get stuff off line and chuck in dryer.

ps - Jleigh if you would like to add me on FB I'm Naomi Parry
