I can only imagine how blindingly infuriating that must be!! Mind you, DD1 has a persistant habit of having me buy clothes for her, they come home, are washed, go into the wardrobe/drawers, and are never seen again until she pulls them out 18 months later and declares they are now too small for her . Drives... me..... INSANE!!! Luckily Miss E is a happy clothing experimenter, she's likes to riffle through her drawers and chose what to wear, she happily mixes and matches according to her own sense of what looks nice together, in a way that DD1 *never* did (she was always obsessed with things not "matching" according to her own weird rules about colour and nothing else). She must've inherited her father's dress sense. Le sigh. Thank the gods I'm not a fashionista kinda yummy mummy type or the poor kid would be in therapy by now PMSL.
The hand washing must've resolved itself because I can't remember it now. Although she did do a step by step demonstration in the middle of dinner last night of the 5 steps of correct handwashing as taught by Jane The Kindy Teacher . And we do seem to be going through *very* large amounts of liquid hand soap, so maybe she just enjoys the soap pump aspect of it. Tidy little detail-oriented virgo that she is .
Arte - investigation of gallstones within a 6 mth timeframe seems reasonable provided you're not having the acute attacks. If they start up make sure you get on the phone and make noises about being seen earlier. Re the breast surgeon, is that in the private or public system? In the public system here women wait anything up to 4 weeks (but usually less than 2 weeks) to be seen the first time but subsequent tests etc tend to happen pretty quickly after that. When can you expect to find out when your appointment date is?
Cass - good luck for the flight. May the transit gods shine upon you with spare seats, complimentary upgrades and most of all clean toilets.
MD, public waiting list. Dr didn't give a time frame for the boob but I assume it will be in the next 3-5 weeks while DH is away so I have to take all three kids with me lol. I did have a pap smear a couple of months ago with both girls sitting on the bed with me and W chatting away the whole time - no privacy at all these days!!
That would be entirely infuriating having clothes outgrown before they are worn. I know A has inherited a few of W's clothes that he barely wore.
Ahhh MD, your travel blessing is welcomed enthusiastically! we already have an upgrade to premium economy (whatever that means...like what? served first lol?!), and have super awesome transit times (phew!) but it does make for one looonnnggg trip.
we have the opposite with the handwashing and i have to follow Miss L to the bathroom door to make sure that afterwards she washes her hands. (arte, you have amazing memory...i now remember MD mentioning Es handwashing lol).
Arte: man, and here i was thinking that i was rocking the whole mama thang while having Miss M on my belly and Leila beside me while i got an eyebrow wax
Thankfully the MS has passed i cannot imagine doing this trip with MS on top...
AFM: well, we had a very eventful day at the playground yesterday; poor Miss M took a major fall from a 5 foot wall onto sharp rocks and cut the back of her head open in quite a deep and nasty fashion. being a head wound we were both completely soaked within seconds (yes, i was wearing a white t-shirt!). a big rush to hospital and she has had stitches put in (didnt cry when they did that without anaesthetic ). we slept beside her last night for concussion watch, but she woke up this morning right as rain. i am worried about her finding the stitches though as they had to keep the string quite long because of all her hair. but hopefully she will forget about (and pigs might fly!). the gross thing is that i cannot wash her hair out for a few days....eeewwwwwww. it's funny because when it happened i was totally calm and had all my senses (while DH was like a chook with its head chopped off lol) but then that night i broke down. it was really scary seeing her fall like that...
Cass, that must have been horrible watching her fall. I hope she screamed straight away, not that hideous silence that lasts forever when they are hurt really bad
I always used to have a fantastic memory - used to just read something once and I could be guaranteed a good mark in exams but these days with no sleep I suck.
MD, thanks again for all your advice. I will get some of that Buscopan to have on standby. I am terrified of those attacks! Hopefully I can get away without having any more, but will certainly try the Gaviscon for minty fresh puke if the need arises
I have just finished booking the caravan and ferry for our South Island holiday Three whole weeks, via Nelson, Franz Josef to see BIL and go on a helicopter ride, a few days in Central Otago, down to Gore for DH's granny's 80th, then up to Dunedin (Cadbury factory ), Christchurch and home again. We have planned it so there isn't too much travel on any day, hopefully it will be good fun - the IL's still talk about a trip they did in the North Island when their kids were the age of ours.
Cass - oh, that fall does sound bad, poor little thing. Super good wishes for the travelling.
Arte - don't like the sound of those gallstones. And I hope you get into the boobie surgeon pretty quickly (and of course that it turns out to just be cysts!)
Handwashing - apparently it's not important at home - neither is toilet flushing. And sitting in the back seat making fart noises and saying it's mummy doesn't count as toilet talk either..... Little grot!
Starting dance lessons this weekend. Wonder how long until she isn't attached to my leg. We were at her BFF's party last weekend and it still took her ages to settle in and couldn't play any of the organised party games without hanging on to me. At least there is only one of her - a mum of twins had both of them attached to her leg (she had very impressive balance, I suppose from 4 years of practice with two of them!)
Cally, there is a mum that went to soccer and had to drag her twins around like that Dance lessons sound fun. My girls would love that when they are bigger.
Finally managed a school visit today and it went really well. He was happy enough to participate in whatever the class was doing and went out to play with some old kindy friends at morning tea time.
There are only 10 kids in the class and two have part time teacher aides, plus there was a volunteer in there today so there is an amazing ratio.
