Cally, the 'real or pretend' thing is a great idea. If something is inconsequential we sometimes ask if he is just pretending.

The other lie thing that was bothering me was W agreeing just to fit in iykwim. Like at kindy when the teacher asked the kids if they had snow at their house and heaps of kids were yelling out yes, so W did too even though we didn't have any. He was doing it quite a lot to agree with the teachers/group but we had a bit of a chat about it, saying things that weren't true when he could just say what really happened. I told him that he was a really neat person and he didn't have to be like everyone else and it seems to have stuck.

Erin seems to have the vomit bug. She has only spewed twice in her life until today - has done three full-feed chucks this afternoon and looks sad I haven't had to deal with a sick little baby before.
