md- i should have explained more about the job. the main difficulty is that it is a long drive away and i wouldn't want to be that far away from the kids if they were in cc. also, i would have to fit it around L's 3 days of kinder and then the year after he will be at school and i don't want to be too far away from the school itms? i think these are the main things putting me off. had a big talk to dh about it all last night and he would prefer me to stay home until J is at school, as it all just seems a bit too complicated atm. i do tend to agree with him. especially after how much the kids were sick this winter, i just see it as bring more drama into our lives iykwim?
i agree that kids can't always name fruits. i think my kids know the main ones but there would be a few that would stump them but they have still eaten them.
L had a great birthday, we got him a Leapster explorer which he loves. We were in Sydney last weekend so he got to have another birthday with all the family.
I hope everyone who was unwell is starting to feel better.
Ginger - I don't know how I feel about my sister. There is a part of me that wishes I was having another little one, but there is another part of me that does not want to go back to those sleepless nights and pure exhaustion again. Anyone want to hand over a 2 year old that sleeps all night for me??? Anyway, DH is still sure he doesn't want another one, he's very unlikely to change his mind now. I'm also very conscious that I am 36 - it took my sister 18 months for this pregnancy and she's 33 (their 3.5 year old was conceived the first month they tried). Took us 3 months with K, I wouldn't want to be trying for 18 months and having a newborn when I'm 38.
Good point about being so far away from the kiddies - I love the fact that if K gets sick at day care I can drop everything, be there in less than 5 minutes and then bring her back to work while I just tidy up, let people know I am heading off etc. And your boys haven't had the best winter health wise, difficult to know what next year's going to be like.
