Hi Girls,

Just posted a new video of Ryan on FB. It's also stars Elmo, with Craig and DH in the background. A bit dark because I was trying so hard to catch what he was doing (before he stopped doing it) that I didn't have the night vision turned on.

Willow - Ryan and Craig both had breastfed green poos, I always thought it was when I ate a lot of greens? But there have been green poos lately and Ryan's teething like mad. Did you get the poo out of the rug/carpet? I've had to wash the cushion covers on the couch several times this week because Ryan's pooed on one of them Hope you make it out to choose the new carpet.

Alison - Yay! I'm so pleased you have your engagement ring back on! Keep up with the 12 week challenge and you'll have the wedding band on too. Hope you have a lovely dinner and weekend away. Get all the photos you can, they're only little once

Beany - Oh dear! Don't worry, even a 'good sleeper' like Ryan has inconsistencies where he'll wake out of the blue for a 3am feed, or wakes early in the morning. One kid in my Mother's Group has only just stopped waking during the night and he's 2.5!

Hi to anyone else reading!

AFM - For once it's a long weekend and we're not going away. I've been trying to get my fish tank up and running again after losing my fish when we were away in January. I've spent this week trying to get the water right so I can get new fish soon. Wii Fit Plus is my new friend, I've been hopping on at midday when the boys are both asleep. DH has bought a new dirtbike and will be heading out for a ride on it sometime this weekend. It'll be the first time since his accident when he broke his ribs (nearly 2 months ago). I'm trying not to think about it.

Someone suggested that I try Ryan on a rusk and he loves them! Thank goodness because he doesn't like any teethers, only my fingers.

We usually go to the Dawn Service here in Canberra at the War Memorial, but not since Craig was a baby. It means a lot to me, but it's a big ask for a toddler to stay quiet. Maybe we can go to the ANZAC Parade instead? Whatever you do, I hope everyone has a great weekend!
