Hi lovely mums

I can't believe that some of your darlings are talking. A just points and grunts - a lot! He runs around like a mad thing and climbs up our fort and hurls himself down the slide. He's very physically capable - but he's not that smart yet, and gets into lots of scrapes.

A got chicken pox while we were in NZ. Poor thing. He was sooo miserable for about 5 days before the spots came out and then we finally knew why. Thankfully L never got them, and neither did the other children we were holidaying with.

Po5 - ditto. I've been tired for 14 months too. I'm not happy about it either, but i'm not prepared to do CC or anything, so i'm stuck still doing night feeds. It's a PITA because this whole house gets up at 5.50am, so there is no such thing as a sleep in. I used to think that people who said their child wasn't sleeping through the night was doing something 'wrong'. How wrong was I??!! I don't tell people who ask, because I am sick of hearing how 'he doesn't need it' and 'it's just a habit' and 'you made a rod for your own back' blah, blah, blah!! I guess I was just really really lucky with my DS1.
