hi girls

arte- are you ok mate? i don't blame you for being down, it's a lot to comprehend. the bushfires here really affected me for absolutely ages, i thought about it constantly and about all the different scenerios. big hugs hun.
what is going on with W at bed time? tell us more and maybe we can help you out. i'm no expert, but you know that both my boys have been shocking sleepers too so may be i can help?

trill- i'm not a big fan of oobi anymore either. i really like the girls' stuff and love buying it for gifts for my friends with daughters but the boys stuff sux once they're past the baby stage iykwim? my new favourite brand is Minti (it's actually from nz arte)

md- thanks for your comments about the cake i'm so pleased to hear your nephews still play with their table. it cost a bomb! so i hope the boys get years of use out of it. we haven't actually set up the atble itself yet but i have to say that the boys ahve been playing with the trains just on our coffee table non stop since sunday so i think that's a good sign
