Thanks for the info Naomi -CJ's orthotics are not that big and are on the inside edge so sound quite different to Bailey - for her we were told not to get shoes that were too flat as her feet are a bit too flat and rolled in (DH has flat feet - but arch don't develop till kids are 4 or 5 I think). The podiatrist was happy with the shoes - so will have to see how they go tomorrow. Is a shame because I love converse, but I have been told to avoid them too because of an issue with my hip. The orthotics are glued in but I think I might get a pair of Clarks from factory outlet here in Melbourne if I can that are a little bit girly just so have something to wear if DD needs to wear a dress or anything.
Oh gosh! Kyson really does take after me in the "foot department". He's already in a size 6 and getting close to needing to move into size 7's!!! Poor thing has the length of my feet and the width of his Daddy's feet. We find it difficult to find shoes that are able to be opened wide enough down low (closer to the toes) to get his feet in them. The sandals are nice and easy to put on, but they are also nice and easy for Kyson to take off himself hehe.
I have some fantastic news! Over the last week Kyson has slept through the night 6/7 times! The one night he didn't sleep through he only woke once, and then he slept in until 9am! Lol! He was sleeping through the night once every now and then for a couple of months, but over the last week it's like he's just flicked a switch and is happy to sleep through. Sometimes he'll wake and cry out and be grizzly for a couple of minutes, but then he just falls back to sleep. Of course this has cooincided with me not being able to sleep all night myself, so I'm not getting the full benefit, lol. Silly bladder is too small and squished now, and my pelvis is just stupid and sore. It's not just the back of the pelvis now either. My pubic bone has decided to join the pain-party haha. Hopefully all my bits and pieces fix themselves quickly after little Apple Blossom arrives
Wow mylitta that is awesome! it would have been awful getting up to both of them during the night!
it was like a switch for jade too she went from being up 2-3-4 times a night to sleeping thru (she wakes up maybe 1 night a week if that)
Hi everyone!
Having a hell of a time with the kids lately. DS has been suffering night terrors and night mares for the past month and Allira's cutting her eye teeth... so we're SUPER tired.
So busy too.
Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
Just jumping in to wish everyone a most amazing Christmas - i know it's the second Christmas with our little terrorists, i mean, TODDLERS, but they are all so much older and so much more switched on - it feels like that first Christmas all over again!
we are mostly ready - need to do a last minute clean up ready for a friend to stay the night (Sopdet) and then we're off to my brothers tomorrow for lunch. need to finish wrapping when E crashes, and set up her outside fort thing (thanks again Naomi for finding it - please tell me it's easy to put up!). We've got the annual job of making chocolate ripple cake or part of dessert, so this year i've made two - a peppermint one in the shape of a candy cane (with red stripes and all!) and a "plain" one with green cream in the shape of a tree, which i'll decorate tomorrow. we also get to cook roast lamb (in the oven as i type) and it's my job at all family get togethers to make the gravy - it's becoming apparent that no one is ever going to take on that job - they keep saying i make awesom gravy (which i do lol) but i think it's more laziness on their part!
looking forward to hearing and seeing your Christmas stories on FB - i have a new lens for my camera, and doubled the memory... oh, and go a tripod, so i'm sure i'll be a bit of a snapparazzi!
Girls - I also wanted to pop by to wish you all a Merry Christmas, I agree with Lee, our munchkins are much more aware of Christmas this year. I love that every time Bailey see's a Christmas Tree or Christmas Lights he stops, points and says 'pweettyyyyy' with a big smile on his face
I hope you all have wonderful days tomorrow with your loved ones. I look forward to seeing lots of Christmas Piccies
Love ya All
Nay
