Yay on the dress Mel!!!! What a bargain too!

Kel, sounds like things are looking up for you! I know what you mean about building up the courage to introduce yourself - I'm really shy until I get to know people Your DH's co-workers' wife (hope I got that right!) sounds like it might be a good start!!!!
I have no clues on the whinging either. Ben missed the terrible twos, but is making up for it in the threes too!

Both of them are up early again today and because Craig was up with Jr last night, I decided to let him sleep this morning rather than have my sleep in. I'm over it already. They've been nightmares!

I went to a parent information thing at Ben's school yesterday and it was really good. The directoress went through how they teach the kids to to write and read (in that order) and it's so cool! She also showed us some work by some just-turned-five year olds and it was amazing! My nieces and nephews couldn't write or spell like that when they were 8!!! I was so impressed and it was ALL the five year olds, she didn't just pick out the smartest ones to show us. It made me so happy that we decided to scrounge around for the money to send Ben to Montessori. Lord knows what we're going to do when Jr turns three though - don't know where we'll find the money for TWO of them!
