Oz - woohoo to the poo!!

Arte - we went out last night too. There was another little one there a couple of months younger than K. They wouldn't even look at each other for the first 30 minutes, then they were best friends! K went to the toilet and told me to hurry up because she wanted to go back and play with her new friend - I asked what her name was and she couldn't even remember. Makes for a much more enjoyable evening when they were off entertaining themselves.

DH won the cricket grand final - not that his golden duck helped.

JM - glad your brother is OK now, fingers crossed the guru can pin something down. Not much help on the getting to bed thing. We have ongoing dramas almost every night, although she is an absolute angel when it is just me for bedtime (like tonight). Maybe I'll send DH out every night for a week and she'll get into the habit!

Ginger - I just use normal cookie cutters (the thin metal ones) for fancy looking sandwiches, but you can get some (google lunch punch) that are specifically designed for a piece of bread

MD - nothing wrong with a bit of bribing, we've got a sticker chart with smarties along the way and a promise of a Miffy book after a month of sleeping in her bed without coming in to see us!

Anyone else got major mealtime dramas? We've always had tricky dinners, but they seem to have gone really downhill lately. She won't come to table, is up and down, tonight she was deliberately splashing her fork in her milk and then wiped it in her hair! She also takes FOREVER to eat.
