Sami - Sounds like Z is cruising along happily. And you've done such an amazing job to feed for this long. Wow DH wants 4 kids. That's a whole new car too. And thanks for the info on FDC and CC, I'm trying to work out what to do too.
belfie - Oh girls night out. That sounds fun. M is the opposite of X and won't use her walkers any more! She will only hold people's hands, which is still hurting my back. Can't wait till she can walk on her own.
Teeth - Maya has THREE teeth coming out all at once at the moment. Poor girl.
Funeral - I felt a bit guilty about not going with DH to the funeral to support him. But in the end I'm glad I didn't go cos it was in Geelong, so we would have left at 9.30, got to funeral and then to a pub for afterwards and home late afternoon. So 1) it would have been a very long day and 2) there would have been no where for M to nap! So I would have had a very unhappy, grumpy girl to deal with. My DH is fine though. It's his father who's most distraught.
Car - Won't be fixed till next Thursday. Today we all squeezed into our second tiny car, which wasn't an enjoyable journey.
Potty - Maya does most of her poos during her naps so there is no way I could get her going on the potty yet. I got a potty that you can remove the seat and put on the toilet too. So it has two uses and you can also use the potty holder as a stool. It wasn't cheap though,but I thought it would last longer and be more practical.
Xmas - OK I'm gonna sound like Scrooge now but I'm not getting M anything for Xmas because 1) I buy her stuff all the time when she needs it or when I think she'll enjoy it, 2) I don't think she'll have any understanding of Xmas yet and 3) I want her to appreciate Xmas as a time of family gathering not presents. I didn't get her a single thing last year either and gave her nothing for her birthday. I am also struggling because I actually don't want to do the whole Santa thing but I feel very pressured that I will have to do it so that she doesn't spoil it for other kids and then I'm sure parents will hate me for it. It's because of my upbringing actually where Xmas was about how many presents you got and wanting the most and biggest things. I want it to be about being with family.
Finally - some good news from me for once!! DH has been doing the job of a more senior person for YEARS now, with no acknowledgement at all. They kept saying that they don't have the money to promote him. Well this week he said "promote me or I'm going" and they have promoted him and given him a pay rise!! He so deserves it. I'm so proud of him. The stupid thing is he might not have a job next year cos they may shut down the office but at least he can then apply for new jobs with a more senior title.
