Emma – That’s super exciting about T pooing and peeing in the potty. I had a friend from work give me a potty and a urinal (SO CUTE) for B. I’ve contemplated sitting him on it of a morning, because he always wee’s within 5 minutes of waking up (is dry through the night 95% of the time ) but I am SO not a morning person, and haven’t been able to get my act together yet…ah well

Sounds like T had a great time at the beach too! I am SO jealous. B loves the water (so do I) but I’ve not dared take him to the beach lately, as it’s stinger season now, and all the stinger net beaches are jam packed with people, and I worry about him getting stung anywhere else….oh well.

AFU – I spent WAY WAY WAY too much money shopping for my nieces and nephew on the weekend. But I have a bit of a dilemma with B. We’re going to the States to visit my family for Christmas. And I want to buy B stuff while we are over there (that we wouldn’t be able to get here) but we don’t fly in until 6:30 the night of the 23rd and I don’t know how I’ll go (either being able to find stuff or jet lag wise) buying him stuff in time for Christmas. And even though I know he’s still too young to know and woudlnt’ care if we gave him things on Christmas or a week after…..but I still want him to have things to open on Christmas. Because I would know IYKWIM?? So do I buy stuff here?? Only to fly it over there and then fly it back? I know my mum would buy stuff for him for us, but I also know that she’d refuse to take money from us to pay her back, and that sort of defeats the idea of US (as in DH and I) buying him stuff….What to do….what to do….
