Oh Meg - how awful for you! I'm glad you are home now though.

Malyna - good luck with getting the house! Mr A sounds like a real thrill-seeker and dare devil.

Olive - Millie seems to be another stringbean. I don't think Miss J will be - she gets her check up next Wednesday.

OP - I do the potty before bath and Miss J is doing wees about 4 nights out of 7. It's a bit hit and miss but she seems to be getting it and she is staring to tell me when she has a poo in her nappy (although normally I can smell it before she tells me ). With DD1 we let her tell us when she was ready and she pretty much went into undies one day and barely had any accidents so i am thinking of doing the same sort of thing although Miss J does seem to be more aware at a younger age.

AFU - we just got back from a week at the snow which was wonderful. DD1 had a ball and came back skiing so well. Miss J on the other hand was not impressed with the snow but did like being carried around in the backpack and going on the chairlifts. Since we have been back she has been very clingy and mummy-focused. She has also been throwing some bad tanties. She even bit my finger tonight when I was stopping her from banging the cupboard doors!!
