Clare - did you get in to the doctor with Leila? What have you decided to do on the weekend, I find getting out makes a huge difference to how quickly the day goes, even if it's just a walk to the park.

MP - no sorry, can't help you with the wakeups. Unusual for him to self settle fine during the day, but needing a comfort feed at night. Have you tried chatting to the MACH nurse?

Bugs - K is into bees. Every bug she sees, I tell her what it is and she shakes her head and says 'No mummy, bee!' Definitely like the idea of a bug catcher though.

Well I managed to get out of a trip to Wollongong for work this week which is good. Why does everything need to be done before Christmas when it just sits on people's desks for all of January??

K's sleeping still isn't going so well. She just wakes for no reason and needs a cuddle and goes straight back to sleep (most of the time). Last night is the only time there was a reason, the cat was curled up at the end of the bed and she had a freak out about that. The only nice thing is that we have now had 4 days with a 7am sleep in. She tends to hop in with one of us in the spare room about 4 or 5am. She had a bit of a virus on the weekend I think, bright red cheeks and runny poos, but seems to be on the mend.

This morning she was walking around the house saying 'No school, pool!' - Very cute!!
