wow - SLeepy - you are doing it tough! Its no problem if you cant come out - your coming out in June anyway stay home and rest if you can...stupid oven!! hope you get a new one soon. I didnt have one for ages but I'd be lost without mine already lol
brissie meeting - it doesnt matter to much where it is as for me it will be a 1.5hr - 2hr trip anyway...lets organise this thing!! maybe do a fb msg if all the brissie girls are on there - its a bit easier then one at a time writing on here, well, i think it is!
Apparently I have just been mesaged to say we aren't aloowed photos in our signatures anymore....whats the deal with that? Pfft I just deleted the whole ticker Thats not fair
Sleepy - I got the pm too. Deleted my whole ticker as well, was just easier. I hope E is better really soon! I'm sorry that you are having a rough week. With the oven I think they have to fix it asap, cause it is essential. My realestate had ours replaced in 2 days when it broke. Good luck though!
Tina - As for the meet I can travel to Brisbane but would have to get dropped off about 7am and I can only do that Mon or Friday. I am at Morayfield but that is a long way from you guys. Otherwise I have the car on weekends no problem. I think there is only you, me, Sleepy and Jleigh around Brisbane too.
I'd love a Brissy meet up! I'd offer to pick you up at Morayfield, Marni, but that won't work with bubs and car seats! Morayfield works great for me as I'm on the Sunshine Coast, but it might not be so good for others. I can probably work it in most days, though Mondays aren't that great. If you guys organise it on fb, just let me know!
Sleepy - hang in there, things can only get better for you!
Tickers - yeah, there was a thread a few weeks ago. Basically, some photos are upsetting some people so rather than have to check everyone's, it was decided that no-one can have photos. That's why I changed mine.
Grrrrr - A very loud courier delivery guy just pounded up our steps and woke B! Ah well, he had to walk through about 5 spider's webs to get here, so that makes me feel better! Gee, now I sound like a horrible person, don't I? That's the worst thing about having B's room right at the front of the house - we thought it was a great feature having the 'kids' rooms at the front and ours at the back when we bought the house, but now, not so much, lol!
Activities with bubs - What kinds of things are you doing with your little cherubs (besides pulling them off furniture and out of bins, lol?). We basically cuddle, play 1000's of variations of peekaboo/hide and seek (inside and on the deck), read, sometimes attempt drawing, walk in the pram, wander around the garden (or stand on the street waiting for cars to go by!), watch the birds (he's obsessed with our birdlife), occasionally watch Toybox on TV and sometimes play with his toys (which means he throws stuff, I duck ). He rarely does much independently (a bit of dusting, his fave or plays with his ball popper). Other ideas would be much appreciated!
Zen is sometimes great at playing alone, other times just hopeless. He has a big box of blocks that he loves to pull them all out of. he has two activity tables, one in his room and on in the lounge so walkking between teh two to play them he enjoys. he loves to throw little rocks into a bucket of water (although this isnt a non-supervised activity obviously!)
I've got a palypen so sometimes he is in there with some toys while I do washing etc.
*what about making some playdough? he'll prob eat half of it but apart from the salt it wont hurt him.
*a roasting dish & wooden spoon make a fun drum kit!
*dustpan and brush keep them occupied and its just the right size for them
signature - just got my msg. There was alot of issue with this when I was in the TTC after m/c or loss thread. images that are beautiful to the parent but very confronting to others were not allowed and it was causing dramas. oh well, most of you are on my fb and get to see plenty of Zen.
JLeigh - if you look at Zenography on fb you can see some pics of Zen
visit - i am pretty much free anyday. we just need to work on a locality.
