    Arrgh! Jols I hope she sleeps better tonight for you. Is DP on board with helping to settle her?

    Ellie - yes Miss J's bottom teeth come out over her top teeth. I think she does it deliberately too. I'm sure DD1 was like that as well and her teeth are normal now.

    oh wow another new thread! I think we are the most chatty BB group on BB!

    Olive- We have had a crap day here too. I cant do anything to make her happy. She is standing directly in front of the tv right now as I write this watching effing teletubbies at 11:15 at night! Oh well. At least she isnt whinging like she has been all day. I even gave her some sausage roll today at the shops just to shut her up as she kept on crying but its not even a real cry, its different like she just isnt happy. this too shall come to an end I HOPE! have you told DH how you have been feeling??

    Kaz- Way to go J on getting a tooth!!! We are still waiting but they must be coming.

    OP- I feel the same way as you at the moment. Jsut dont know whats happened and eerything is hard work. Not happy at nappy change or getting dressed, and when I put her in the carseat or pram, she stiffens her back and legs and has the biggest tantrum like its the end of the world!

    Ellie- that is great about the pram.

    Holly- no prob wont say anything on FB.

    Nai- DD is going for her first swimming lesson on Sat morning. She will be a starfish! PMSL!! I think thats because literally, starfish cant do anything!

    Oh dear, cant remember what else.

    AFM- DD is going to Childcare as of 2nd Feb for 2 days a week. Its a good one and its LDC not that she will be in there all day but its good to have that option. Its expensive ($80 a day) but thats Sydney for you and with the rebate and CCB that should bring it down to a very reasonable price. I also like that they do a photo day book each day so you can see exactly what your child has been doing at teh end of the day. I am quite excited about it.

    Couldnt believe it yesterday when I had mothers group at my house, DP's mum rocks up when I told her I was busy and had mothers group!!!!! So embarrassing and rude. She said to me well I was in the area anyway so thought I would come round!!!! Looks like she's gone back to her old ways.

    DD is pullong up on everything now. ITs the new thing that she is obsessed with. Nothing is too much of a challenge it seems!!! Much to my distress. Oh and it is so cute how carefully she tries to sit down from standing. Such slow motion! Bless!
