I was just going to post that about the life jackets - you can't get them for under 10kg. We have the 10-15kg then the 15-20kg one with a neck support because if something does happen and they get thrown from the boat, they will have their head out of water kwim? Plus if you are in open water it's easier to keep a child afloat for a long period if they can lay back on the head support. But the Rip Curl one we got for Erin goes from 12-25kg without the head support and there is no way known I would feel that Alister would be safe in it even with the crotch strap.

Noni, See? we told you you were doing just perfectly. That's great news from the Dr. Don't forget he will have his 3wk growth spurt soon too.

G, I can't believe he has teeth already! I know it's not totally outrageous that he does have them at this age, but now that makes him a big boy LOL. They lose a little more of that babiness with each tooth they get i reckon.

Kate, it sounds like he really does love you still and wants to make it work, but he just doesn't know how to do it. I bet it's a load off for you to hear him say all that too

MD, that cake sounded absolutely divine! I would love to see a pic of it when you have time. I'm guessing H looked a picture too.

Clare, I can imagine how he would feel about not geting much game time. That would be so exciting to see a sold sticker on the sign too. I would keep driving over there and looking at it if it were me LOL. How is your Oma and Opa going?

I bet Leanne is furiously packing atm

Arte, LOL at you having to cut the top off the bookcase. You will have to post a pic of them on FB.

I can't remember what was on the previous page now LOL.

Anyway, things are OK here - Alister is over the worst of his croup, so no more vomiting up, but he's lost weight because his pants are sitting lower again. But I did manage to get a sample today for the path lab (and boy was it a doozy LOL). So hopefully we will have the results by Monday. And he's eating again too. On Sunday all he ate all day was popcorn
