Clare, no I already had the hairy AB experience with the last lot - stopped them altogether for nearly 2 weeks (until the hairy side effects wore off PMSL) now trying a different lot. Got all the probiotico wondergoodies onboard too. Re the gate - can you put a lock on it - something like a bicycle chain with a combination number lock? Hang on you're moving - is the new yard enclosed?
I will butt in on the full cream yoghurt conversation by saying one thing: King Island Dairy. Honey and Cinnamon. Very naughty desserty treat.
Katie I love your squirty bottle suggestion, will have to remember that once the weather's bit consistently warmer here. It's *nearly* warm enough to put the aircon on today (I'm SO excited!!!) but there's a man clomping around up there and I'm afraid my mega-powerful unit might suck him into its jet engine if I do LOL.
Trill, with all those other kids around it's probably a relief for A to have a bit of alone-time LOL. We haven't put new sand in our sandpit yet...saw the bags at Bunnings for sale at a complete rip off price. Missy E is getting a wooden train set (not thomas but same size) for Xmas and I bet H will play and play and play with it because she never had one.
MP well done with WW again, even despite the naughty weekend! Do you feed J when he's unsettled at 5am?
MD, I saw Bunnings advertising bags of sterile sandpit sand - whatever happened to loading up the trailer at the beach! It is cool when you find little shells and sea goodies in it lol.
MP, no idea about J, but I hope you can find something to help. If A is ever unsettled I put her on the change table with no nappy for 5-10 minutes and that usually cheers her up.
Oz, it is hard to get them measure right isn't it! The midwife measured A the other day and wrote that she was 55.5cms, but I measured the next day when she was asleep and not wriggly and I got 59cm. I think mine was closer because if she was only 1.5cm bigger than birth then her little outfits wouldn't be looking like 3/4 pants lol A is in the cot for the first part of the night, then after that if resettles in the cot she stays there but if she wakes then I just take her to bed. I am hoping that eventually the first sleep with lengthen out and she will sleep in there the majority of the night. I would co-sleep full time but DH doesn't want to, so this compromise seems to work.
Ginger, how is everything going?
MM, hope you are having a great time away
Cally, is it possible at all to fence in your yard? I would go insane if I couldn't send him out to the sandpit on good days. As for independent play, some days W entertains himself for half an hour or so at a time, other days he won't do it at all.
Miss A has just discovered she can suck her hands lol She is sitting on my lap slurping away.
W told me his first fib today - I was looking after a 2 year old from down the road and they both had a bag of popcorn. I turned away for a minute and when I looked back both bags were tipped all over the floor. I asked who tipped it out and he admitted it, then when I asked why he said it was an accident lol.
He put himself to bed at 4.30 this afternoon and when I went to wake him he had a red hot face so I assume he is coming down with something. We left him asleep but I am preparing myself for a crappy night. Or at least a very early morning.
Umm-aaa Arte! A wee pork pie LOL. At least he owned up to it though when you asked him.
MD, I bet you $10 Bunnings get their sand for stuff all money and are making nearly 100% profit on it.
Oz that's great you're feeling confident with the two of them - will make it easier to deal with both of them when you're on your own kwim?
PP, when Alister was having the most trouble with his belly pains it was from about 4am onwards and that's all it was - belly pains from wind and poo moving through the bowel because he was always a morning poo-er LOL. Try using some Brauers Colic relief - it always worked better than infacol with Alister.
hi girls
just quickly popping on to let you all know i'm still alive xoxox
turns out lewis has got a throat infection, an ear infection and hand, foot and mouth disease. explains why i've been having so much drama with him over the last week........
he's on ABs now so hopefully things pick up. i've slept a total of 8 hours since saturday.
had organised to go out for a 'girls' night' dinner tomorrow night (taking j with me and dh looking after l)- will be the first time i've gone outat night in 8 months and dh just informs me he has to work till really late tomorrow night. great. thanks a lot.....
sorry for selfishness, will be back on tomorrow to catch up with everyone xoxoxo

Ginger I hope L is feeling better soon, thats awful. Wouldn't it be easier if they could just tell you whats wrong. I cant believe you will miss your girls night, it sounds like you could really use a night out. Is there anyway DH can make it home earlier? Or could your dad come and watch L till DH gets home?
Arte lol at W's fib, its kinda cute. How is he this morning? I hope he isn't coming down with something.
MD the spray bottle is the best toy ever lol, he will be outside for ages only coming in to ask for more water. He has worked out how to turn the nozzle so the spray changes too.
Well my dad arrives today, as much as I cant wait to see him I am glad it is only till Friday as I really want my house back lol. DH starts his two weeks off next week, I cant wait. Two weeks of nothing................. bliss.
hi everyone
sherie - thanks for the brauers tip - just got some so we will see how he goes tonight, poor little guy - he is quite tired this morning!
just took him to the osteo - some imrpovement but needs more treatment... good we are on a good path though.
ginger - bummer to miss the girls night, that really sux! i am off for dinner with DH tonight, mum is babysitting (1 will only be 5 min up the road LOL)
well busy day here just getting ready for the coast - looks like i need to pack most of the house!
I love the spray bottle idea - will get one of them for N - he will LOVE it! thanks Oz!

...all over it like a rash MD LOL!! love that stuff...
Ginger: good to hear from ya babe! poor L! man, he really got knocked about this time with the infections. but the ABs should work wonders really quickly i reckon...then you can get some blissful SLEEEPPPP! LOL!
good work on your dad helping out tonight. i would be crying if i missed a girls night out.
Oz: totally know what you mean. we had a lovely girl stay at our house while we were away and she had to stay an extra few days with us when we came back. she moved out today and i have to say i am stoked! lovely to have her, but also so so nice to have free reign IYKWIM.
MP - don't think you will need swim nappies unless Noah has a wetsuit! The water is still freezing down here and I don't think we're expecting anything really warm over the next week. Hope J has a better sleep tonight.
Fence - we could fence the yard, however it would be a bit tricky as there is quite a slope on one side, which of course is the side that we would need a big gate on as DH would want to be able to get vehicles into the back yard in future. Would make our lives easier though.....
Ginger - glad you get your girls night out, enjoy yourself!!
Yeah Cally I was wondering about that - thougth the water would be too cold. I guess I will bring 1 or 2 swim nappies down in case - but i think the most we will manage is a paddle and a look in the rock pools! I will text you claoser to sat to arrange to meet up for muffins and a play - looking fwd to it!
I think we will buy a spray bottle on the way there - i think N will love it! he is so spoiled though, we boight him heaps of 'active' toys at ELC the other day to take down - he is going to have a BALL! teh garden is bigger than ours too so he will love that freedom.
Lastest breaky treat here is 'milkshakes' - a whole banana and some milk in the blender - goes down v well and he thinks it is a treat with the straw etc. sometimes i add yoghurt and blueberries too whcih is even more special! he isnt much of a breakfast eater so this is a great option for us!
Ginger - enjoy the night out tonight - well deserved! i am thinking i might splurge on a glass of wine! (oh i forgot that woudl add ww points - maybe not!)
MD - I love the KI yoghurts too - not at the moment though!
MP - we just got a spray bottle from the supermarket, the same as I use for ironing. K loves her smoothies (with a bit of yogurt in them too), although they are a bit thick for a straw! K occupies herself at the beach with throwing rocks into the water. She just goes back and forth for ages.
