Hi Girls,

Kanda - Lucky you! I think Craig would be like Lila if we got to meet the Wiggles, a bit shy. But I'm so glad you got to go and made it there OK. We watched it on TV and were with you in spirit. That's good that you know what's wrong now and it's not cancer or something really scary. What does the overactive thyoid mean for you, medication? I'll have a drink with you

BS - Oh how cruel! Don't worry, I'm sure she'll start doing those big night sleeps more often than not soon. Make sure you take lots of photos of your trip to Paris, so we us 'armchair travellers' can indulge with you.

Alison - Damn in laws! I'm sure they don't realise how annoying their construction work is and how bad their timing is. But you'd think the workers could respect the law with regard to noise, perhaps you could make a noise complaint? He he he I used to hate the Wiggles too, but your opinion soon changes when you have a toddler who loves them. The songs are quite catchy and I often find myself humming them around the house (which Craig loves, especially in the car). BTW, I loved the dress and it looked gorgeous.

Tilda - Poor little Matilda. I hope she feels better soon and you be OK to fly home. Their first cold is awful for us parents because we can't really do anything. The Fess saline drops and aspirator (funny gadget to suck the snot out of their noses) works a treat and a vaporiser is a great idea. Also you can't beat the baby version of Vics Vapour Rub.

Beany - Michael's going to keep you on your toes! He sounds just like my Craig, always wanting to try things out before he should be capable of doing them. That would be lovely if you girls can make the Perth meet up a regular thing.

Rose - Liam looked so cute in his MCNs! And you take great photos! If I work out how to Skype, then I'll join you girls at your next meet up.

Carmey - You look great, but I can't see the 6kgs that you want to lose. Eeek! I hear you on the Brownies, too moorish. That's great news about your apartment, I hope you can find something to rent quickly.

AFM - Well, still toilet training. And still having a bit of a battle at naptime and bedtime. But I've got a few strategies to try out and bedtime and naptime both were less of a drama today. I'm trying to make the toilet training fun and I think we'll get there before very long. DH is feeling better after his dirtbike accident. He's got the Jetski going again and wants to take it for a ride this weekend!!!! <sigh> My Mum visited today and the boys were so happy to see her.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. Long weekend here for Canberra Day!
