Hi girls!
G: i am soooo JEALOUS of your CR escapade today!! i was also looking at the 30th anniversary edition of the Coupe...ahhhh i soo want it for leila. i remember at house inspections it would always end in tears because leila wanted to ride in the ones that all the houses all seemed to have!! i will have to butter DH up for that one though...they are selling for just over 200 over our way...but like Jazah said, i reckon you get your moneys worth considering they recommend up til 6 years of age (at least IMO!).
Junglemum: lovin' the new name!
MD: i'm coming your way for christmas next year!! sounds like a blast!!!
Jazah: last time we looked at christmas lights was with my grandparents...my opa kept mentioning this really BIG light display that he has driven past a few times and we must go past...turns out that what he thought was a big christmas light display were the floodlights of the local funeral parlour LOL! poor Opa was sooo embarrassed!
Arte: yeah we are heading up to see my grandparents. just hoping that leila has beaten the lurgy by the time we get there as oma cant really be exposed to all the ghoulies ATM.
that is so cool how far along W is with his alphabet! leila has made nooo attempt at all!
Noni: phew, that must be a relief for your DH. and i also like the dummy for santa idea!
MP: it was also Leilas last day at kindy for the year too... sniff sniff, so many cute things that she made! and i love looking at her journal and seeing how much she has grown!
AFM: all good here. Leila is getting over a big headcold (thankfully, as it has resulted in horror nights as you can all imagine). managed to finish off the christmas shopping...albeit a bit despondent when i saw all the pretty playmobil, brio trains and LT Coupes...ah well, another time! got leila a soccer ball and goal set, an ITNG umbrella...she loves umbrellas, an iggle piggle toy (sensing a theme here LOL!?), some PA pyjamas and a bunch of books...
-
clare - that is so funny about the christmas lights. L sounds like she's getting some lovely things from Santa. H is getting a tutu, ballet slippers and headband - and a matching tutu for her baby. I also got her a magnetic reward chart and some togs. Haven't gone overboard this year, which is a shame because i love spending way too much money on the girls :lol:
hope L is feeling much better soon.
-
G - I think N has the same hairbrush - is it navy blue??
-
Ahhh Christmas is such a wonderful time of year....... I really do love it. DH has put the xmas lights on the house and they look awesome.... We got Livi a barbie bike, ride on trike, nursery and a doll, the boys got bigger bikes, green machines, car sets. Xmas breaky DH mum is coming over and lunch we go to my auntys where my mum and dad will be theb back to our house for dinner where DH mum and brother are coming back over... Then on Boxing day we are resting and the kids can play with there toys..........
Everyone Xmas sounds awesome
-
Jazah, so sorry for the loss of your grandmother, I know she was dearly loved. Thinking of you and your family.
Clare, W wasn't really interested in the alphabet either until DH found the puzzle a couple of weeks ago, then he loved it. Glad that Miss L is over her head cold. Touch wood, but we have been sickness free for about 3 whole months! It has been great!
MP, is tomorrow the last day of Chanukah? I have to admit I know next to nothing about it, but Happy Chanunkah, I hope you have had a good week.
We are delaying Christmas until the 28th when the IL's arrive. So actual Christmas day will be a bit of a non-event here.
-
Jazah, I'm so sorry to hear you have lost your gorgeous Grandma. I'll light my memorial candle for her tonight. Sending you all love. xxx
-
Jaz, I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma :hug: I know it was hard for you these past few months.
-
Thanks everyone :hug:
I know that she will be much happier where she is now ( i don't know exactly where that is, but in my mind it's a beautiful place)
I'm feeling a great deal of guilt at the moment, because i stopped going to visit her after she yelled at me. It really gave me a fright. Thankfully i had taken the girls to see her on Monday, and she looked beautiful. Her hair had just been done, and she was smiling and talking to us. She certainly didn't look like someone who was about to pass away. the girls all gave her a kiss and a cuddle - so we have a lovely final memory of her. She was the last of the girls great grandparents, and I'm really feeling it. An old lady in her little pope mobile stopped to admire the girls and have a chat at the shops this morning. After she'd zoomed off it hit me that I don't have any cute little old people left to give cuddles too. Might have to adopt one me thinks ;)
anyway, off to dh's work christmas party this arvo, and Hannah has been in fine form this morning. Have put her into bed for a sleep now, so hopefully she won't be Little Miss Cranky pants while we're there. (dh trimmed her nails last night :redface:)
-
Jazah, I am soo glad you got to see her on Monday, and that she was well and lovely :hug:
-
big hugs to jaz, i'm so sorry
mp- yes the hairbrush is a navy blue Ish one! our boys both have long hair and lovely brushes to brush it with! LOL
clare- we got the 30th ann. cozy coupes for $110 each at Target...$200 is a rip-off! So if you want one, maybe try there? i think L would love one of the special edition pink ones :)
junglemum and i met up this morning for coffee and L & S shared a happy meal LOL`
-
oh girls, i just wanted to apologise as well for my crazy cluckiness about 2 weeks ago......turns out i got my first AF this morning so i must've been Oing around that time and the cluckiness was completely overwhelming! luckily we didn't do anything silly around that time LOL
we've made the decision again to just stick to the two we've got. j is quite 'high needs' and i think he's gonna need me a lot over the coming years and i really am happy for him to be my 'baby' iykwim? so.....never say never...but atm we're stopping at 2....
just thought i should explain all my craziness over the last couple of weeks! :)
-
jaz - big hugs! im glad u got to see her and u and the girls have nice memories :)
g - ur funny lol! we're stopping at 2 as well.. as u say never say never but i dont feel like i can go through pregnancy and birth again its weird i feel like i just dont have it in me.. plus i struggle with the kids ive got lol both of them are quite high maintanance!
well Asha is sick AGAIN ughh just a cold this time but i just know were gonna all be sick for christmas.. so stressful!
im really tired lately n theres so much in the house that needs to be done its kinda overwhelming.. hope i can get back on track after christmas.. still havnt done a proper toy clean out like ive been meaning too.. seeing my mum and her husband for christmas tmw tho so maybe once shes got some of the new ones it will be easier to get rid of the old ones... does anyone else find that as soon as they think about getting rid of something the kids start playing with it again? just to make life difficult lol!
hope everyones enjoying their christmas preparations! most of ours is done now so i really want it to hurry up and be here lol!!
-
Jazah - don't feel guilty, you did the right thing by taking your girls to visit when you did. I hope that's a special memory you can hold on to and be comforted by for a long time. :hug:
Ginger - I know what you mean. I don't talk about it much but I too feel the power of cluck around O time - I even feel it in my breasts (and that includes the new one that doesn't have any sensation in it YEP I have a phantom nipple that tingles like a let down :o) I'm just not in a position to be tempted to do something crazy about it LOL. Don't apologise because I can live vicariously thru you when you finally crumble and have another :lol:
Arte - that reminds me we have a gorgeous huge alphabet puzzle in a box in the shed, I reckon E would love it around now. Must remember to ask DH to get the box down. She loves her puzzles, and she's starting to get a grip on the idea that letters actually 'say' something, but she hasn't learnt any (even tho she sings the alphabet song) - hasn't meshed those ideas together yet. BTW I can't believe you are delaying Christmas...can you jsut do it twice instead :lol:?
Leanne - I'm looking fwd to taking E to visit Daddy's work next year (this year he works in a closed building) - it is very exciting, near the planes AND there's a lunchroom with a big fridge chock full of fizzy drinks and chocolates so I'm sure the visit will be a big hit with my lil pink piggy LOL.
MP - btw meant to say how hilarious it is that N has such a good grip on the corporate world!
Clare well done you for getting that chrissy shopping done. I know what you mean about those covetous moments. We're totally overdoing it this year, Missy E is getting a trike, her kitchen set that we didn't end up giving for her birthday (& trimmings), and a wooden train set. DD1 is also getting heaps! I've shopped over several months and kept forgetting and bought more. So she's getting lots of small expensive things AND a new bike (lady-sized) which she chose and is putting some of her savings into as well (cos the Santa game is up with her :().
At this rate none of those pressies will be wrapped up though, still sitting in my armchair with no cards written! :lol: Might have to chuck A christmas movie on for the kids this evening, get in the mood and have a wrap-a-thon after they go to bed!
ETA - yep Noni I dragged a whole lot of stuff out of Missy E's room, and she started playing with it madly all over again so I couldn't bear to get rid of it LOL. So I predict an after Christmas glut too.
-
md- glad i'm not the only one that feels crazy cluckiness around that time! LOL sounds like the girls are getting some awesome presents for xmas. i find that when lewis starts to get bored of his kitchen, i get him some new accesories- eg. saucepans, eggs, fruit, utensils (even just the ones from safeway) and it brings the whole kitchen to life again!
noni- i hope asha is better for xmas. iykwm about 2 being enough, i have days where i struggle with my 2 and i wonder how people with 3 or more do it. my hat is off to jaz and trill!
-
Ginger, look at your ticker! J is nearly a whole year old! Isn't it amazing how time flies (especially when it is someone else getting up all night lol). Just think that when L was this age you were already on the way with J. I just can't decide about a third. Some days I am really clucky and I can't bear to give away any baby clothes just in case, but then I would like to go back to work/the real world and not have every moment of my life consumed by kids. I think I would like to do the pregnancy/birth thing again because I find it so amazing, but I don't really want the reality of another child.
MD, there isn't enough Christmas spirit around here to stretch out for two days. We are making an effort for W, but really spending Xmas alone gets me down which is why we are waiting for the IL's. And on the bright side, I might go to town on Boxing day and get some discount last minute presents. Sorry that nooboob didn't get any sensation. I was hoping that it would. I have a no-feeling patch on my heal that weirds me out, seems to be a remnant of the epidural when W was born.
Any suggestions on how to keep them in bed at night time? W keeps coming out and DH has been holding the door shut while W cries. I really hate it, but can't think of anything to suggest and DH is pretty p!ssed about him coming out all the time. I would put him to bed myself but that is always the time that A needs my attention to feed and go to sleep. DH yelled at him so loud last night that I was scared, I felt so bad for W.
-
Jaz, when my Nan passed away Lindsay wasn't yet 2 and Erin was only a few months old and L doesn't remember her at all. I know what you mean about great grandparents though. I am so lucky that my Dad's parents are both still alive and well and they aren't even that old really - Nan is only 74 and Pop is 76. I'm really close to them and the kids just love visiting and I feel really blessed that they are fortunate to have that great grandparent relationship.
Arte, we always had problems initially with the kids when they went into a single bed with them getting out all the time. You just have to really reinforce that they can't get out of bed. It could take a while too. Maybe leave the door open and as soon as you hear him get out of bed, go in there and tell him to get back into it and maybe even try sitting at the bedroom door so he can't get out, but he's not game to get out of bed because you are right there kwim? I do hope it passes soon for you hun :hug:
Well school has finished for another year and it is still crazy!!!!! We had a christmas drinks thing at BIL's on thursday and we didn't get home till 2am. DH's second work party last night which was a midnight hometime - luckily we ditched the kids last night and just went on our own LOL and tonight there is another one at our local pub which they hold every year, like a big community one.
Alister has gotten over his fear of Santa, because he has worked out that santa always has lollypops. We were in Wagga shopping on Thursday and we say the mall santa and we said hello and he gave Alister a lollypop and we had to wander around the centre filling in time while DH went to the chiro and Alister got bored and kept asking to go back to santa to get another lollypop :rofl: and then we saw another one in a different shop and he asked him for a lollypop!
And christmas shopping is nearly done, bar something for my brother and doing some baking for gifts. We haven't put the tree up yet. I just can't be bothered with it. Will probably do it tomorrow I guess.
-
Trill, did you get something for your cheapo BIL and SIL? I was thinking a) something cheap that you know they already have b) something crappy they have given you but a different colour or c) a singing fish. Hope you got something appropriate.
With the bedtime, we tried just putting him back but it was taking up to two hours, several tantrums and a stressed DH. He was going o.k with the door being shut after one get-up, he would cry for about 30 seconds and then jump into bed and go to sleep but the past few nights he has been launching into a full on tantrum as soon as he gets put back in his room. Hopefully it passes soon because we are out of ideas.
LOL at A loving santa and his lollypops. We got a nice pic of Amelia with Santa, but W was off behind the camera losing the plot lol. Maybe next year....
-
LOL Arte, I haven't gotten them anything as yet, but will just do some baking and give them some I think. They wont be here this Christmas as it is their turn to have it with her family.
I think the bedroom issues will pass. We reckon that when our lot did it it was because they thought they were missing out on something kwim? They know the other child is still up so they don't want to go to bed either. Maybe you could try making a big fuss of them both going to bed at the same time?
-
Does W have a night light? With DD1, we found she was happy if there was light coming thru the crack at the bottom of the door, she would often get up, play and/or read a book in that light, then fall asleep on the floor (cos it's really kinda relaxing when you are lying on the floor in the dark LOL). Just make sure the night light is really quite dark (some of them are OTT bright IMO) so that the play zone is limited, kwim?
-
He used to be completely fine in the dark. When he wakes he just comes into our room and someone gets up and puts him back in bed. The past couple of nights he has been switching on his bug light, but I think it is far too bright and when he wakes he has no chance of getting back to sleep by himself iykwim? We do have a dim night light, I might try leaving that on for him.
I have just made up a star chart for going to bed, will see if bribery works.
-
We're bypassing the whole Santa photo thing this year - unless we suddenly get inspired to go and stand in a line for 2 hours (oh yeah....NOT)! :lol: We haven't traditionally done many, we often took DD1 to the magic cave and cheapskatedly took our own photos in the not-paying-for-photos Santa line.
Trill your community pub Christmas partay sounds awesome - I'd love to feel I was part of a local community like that. That's my new year's resolution (well, one of them anyway) - work on building up the village. BTW I suspect that's the very reason why Santa always has lollies!
Arte - yeah, go the singing fish!!! You're a genius woman. Sorry there aint' enough Chrissy spirit - I've done plenty of just-us christmases and I do know what you mean. I find Christmas tv and lots of phone calls and food helps fill the void. LOL. Enjoy the day with your ILs. :)
Oops gotta go, nurse is here.
-
hello lovelies!
yes arte, i agree j's ticker is getting very close to 1!! woo hooo!!! he's such a gorgeous big boy now. he's just soo happy all the time, i really love it. very different from the whingey little newborn that he was. his smile lights up the whole room, we just love him so so much. lewis calls him 'bubba' and is always sneaking him little treats like cheezels!
how's everything going with W's sleep?
so who's getting excited for xmas?????? i am. it's finally hit me that it's coming!! i'm just at dad's wrapping presents and thought i would jump on quickly and see how everyone is going.
-
hey everyone
yep very excited for xmas but atm the kids are sick :( really hoping they get better asap!! its a nightmare them both being sick! one tired mumma here!
ahhh lacking motivation big time again everythings trashed and here i am sitting on the comp.. spose it comes with being tired.. idk.. never seem to get anything done these days..
sorry about lack of personals lately i feel so blank and drained its really hard for me to actually get on here and reply to everyone, spend alot of time on fb doing mindless stuff.. hope everyones enjoying building up for xmas i really hope i can get back on track and become more envolved soon i know its been ages! sorry!! struggling atm...
-
I am getting a bit excited about Christmas - it will be cool that there will be someone here to share it with us. I let W wrap a few presents, so hard to watch him mash it all up when I could be wrapping it to perfection lol
We have changed direction with bedtime and are trying out reading a story first, then his bottle in the hopes that he will be a bit more relaxed and drift off easier. First night tonight was a success, but he didn't have a nap so was fair buggered anyway. I was reading The Science of Parenting and it dawned on me that all the stress and upset at bedtime was probably why he is back to waking half a dozen times.
W's behaviour has improved dramatically - he is back to how he was before A came along. I have also made a star chart to reward positive behaviour instead of just punishing him when he is naughty. But the past few days he has only had a couple of time outs anyway. What frequency should star charts pay out? I have it set up so that he gets a smartie with every star and all going well he should get a bigger reward (thinking Freddo Frog or similar) every 3-4 days. Is that a reasonable time? I don't want it to be too common that it loses its appeal or too far apart that it seems unachievable. Any thoughts?
I am thinking of getting another goat. I am a bit worried after what happened to the last one, but the back yard is uncontrollable. It is too rough to just mow and I am going to lose W in it soon (if he would go outside lol).
Hope everyone is on track with the Christmas prep.
-
hi everyone
I should be wrapping presents, but instead I'm here :rolleyes: I'll probably be up until all hours Christmas Eve.!
Arte - with regards to the reward chart - I always start them, and then don't have enough time to follow through. You're doing the right thing in terms of rewarding the good behaviour - and making the rewards achievable.
we are also having issues with H coming out of her room when we've put her to bed. Dh threatens her with shutting her door, and that gets her back on the bed, but then 2 minutes later she's up again. He usually gets cranky with her, and she ends up in tears. I then have to go and lay with her to calm her down, because I don't like the kids falling asleep upset. Lately she's been laying on the hall floor and falling asleep. She just doesn't seem tired anymore!! I think reading the story is a good idea. We've been a bit slack with that lately, so i'll have to start again and see how we go.
noni - hope the kids are feeling much better soon
re - santa photos - I've never had a Santa photo taken. One of the girls has always been scared, so i haven't bothered.
I've got my Grandma's funeral service tomorrow, and my dad has asked me to read the Eulogy. I've been practicing , but know I'm going to get upset. (thanks for your response in my thread G :) ) I told Dh that I will look at him when I get upset, but he told me not too. He said seeing me upset will upset him too. Aaaaawwwwww. Dad told me to look at him - said he'll be ok because he's cried alot already, but I don't trust him. He's as bad as me!!!! Anyway, H will probably distract me, 'cause she'll be throwing a tantrum because she'll want to talk in the microphone too.
Have a good night everyone, I'm off to see if i can find some more sticky tape :rolleyes:
-
Jaz - sorry about your Grandma, hope the service goes well today.
We are also having bed issues. She is up and down and we are in and out for about 30 minutes each night at bedtime. Very frustrating. Then we have lots of night waking and wandering too. Hoping to get it sorted out in the next few weeks while we are both on holidays. Of course she spent the night with Nan last night, asleep within 5 minutes and no night waking!! We're also about to try the nightlight, wasn't a success last time but anything is worth a shot!!
Noni - hope the sickness is clearing up at your place.
Not super excited about Christmas yet. Everything is bought, just a couple of things left to wrap. Finish work in a couple of hours then it will probably hit me!!
-
Hi girls,
This will be brief as am at a very public internet kiosk...
just want to send my love and thoughts to Jaz. I am truly sorry to hear of your grandmothers passing xx
misss you girls xx
-
Hi ladies, it's getting very christmassy though I *still* haven't wrapped prezzies - gonna have a blitz tonight (she says third day running LOL). Santa's running out of time.
Arte I love that you're including W in the wrapping - brave mummy! With little kids the rewards need to pay out frequently - I found smarties very effective to start with but ideally you want to get over to just having the sticker and then rewarding after 5 or 6 stickers - every few days. Remember intermittant conditioning lasts longer than constant conditioning (haha that's the only thing I think I remember from teachers college 20 years ago - that and pedagogies).
JazaH, I hope the funeral service went well today, and don't stress over holding it together - it's an appropriate time to express how you feel and no one there will mind one jot. Your Grandma was a special lady and they all know that.
Noni, hang in there sweetie. Hope the kids are feeling better and you're a bit perkier now.
Clare what have I missed - r u on holidays already? Did I miss you telling us that? Why the public kiosk?
Cally yay for finishing up work! Sounds like the getting out of bed thing is common at this age. We've still got Missy E in her cot (!!!) and she's going to stay there until i can carry her again.
AFM - drowning in my christmas preparations...tried to type a letter to send out with christmas cards but stalled after the massive paragraph about my own lil journey this year - have some good friends interstate who I haven't contacted because it's just so damn hard to ring up and announce that you're having chemo...bit easier now it's behind me but I do so want ppl to know because it's appropriate now, and important in case I ever have ot face a recurrence. ANYWAY we were going to do a photo calendar for my parents (combined effort with my sister) but we've kinda left it a bit late, we thought we'd do a digi photo frame instead but need a big one for stepmum who has vision issues and the affordable big ones are all sold out now. So having a last minute blah about that.
Went to see the surgeon for a follow up today, she is such a sweetie, she is so pleased at her good work but remembered to ask me how I feel about it. Most importantly I finally got the dressings off and the DRAIN out today - yeehar - not sorry to see that baby go tho i will prolly have to get some fluid syringed out of my back for the next coupla weeks. DD1 came with us and drank several heavily sweetened cups of tea from the free cuppa tea area at the clinic while she was waiting for us LOL needless to say she has been very perky all afternoon since.
-
LOL MD, I hope she doesn't crash and burn out on you. Great to hear that you got a good report from the surgeon and the drain has come out.
Arte, I hope the reward chart keeps working for you
Jaz :hug: I hope you were OK today. Im' sure you would have done her proud reading her eulogy.
AFM, well I think I might put the christmas tree up tonight. I have been avoiding it because once it's up, DH does nothing but whinge about it LOL so he will only have to put up with it for christmas eve as he is on nightshift till then. Presents are all wrapped - only had one each to wrap for them because I daresay it will be near impossible to wrap the motorbike and cubby :rofl:
-
I dunno trill, with enough rolls of the larger sized paper and the right kinda gleam in your eye...LOL what's the name of that artist...Christo??...who wraps whole buildings. You aint' got no excuse lady.
BTW what's to whinge about a Chrissy tree? Does it get in the way of the telly or something?? Bah Humbug!!!
-
just had to come on and tell u all that Billy said his first word :) :) :) and its MUM!!! :D hahaha
he quite often goes mmmm mmmmmm mmmmmm so everytime he did ive been saying mmmmmum lol and he got it :D hahaha so cute!
-
Noni, such a clever boy - my DD1 said Mummmm first too - just a warning cos that became her favorite word as a toddler - Mummy mummy mummy mummy (*BANG!* - that's the sound of my head exploding after the 700th Mummy of the day) rofl!
-
hahaha md u made me smile :) much needed.. feeling weird lately.. so sorry in advance for being blank and not around..
-
Sorry I have been a bad baby buddy again. I have been trying to read and keep but its not working lol.
I am soooo excited about playing Santa tomorrow. I cant wait to see L's face in the morning. We have bought him a climbing gym for outside, he is going to love it.
Just incase I dont get back on tomorrow night, I hope you all have a VERY VERY Merry Christmas. Give all your little ones an extra squeeze from me.
-
I've just been sitting here, catching up while licking out the saucepan from a batch of fudge. DD and DH are fast asleep, curled up together in our bed. He's supposed to be out buying me Santa presents, but I think he needs the sleep more.
I braved town this morning for a beautician's appt - remind me not to do that next year!! We had a lovely morning down the beach too.
Reward charts - I made one up with little pictures of smarties for the first few days, then some blank and a chuppa chup, more blanks, another chuppa chup, then blanks and a Freddo. We were going to use it for good bedtimes, but I think it might be too long between the action and the reward. So might change it to having a daysleep!! I also got some lovely star stickers for her to put on every day.
MD - YAY for getting the drain out!!
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!! Do you think the littlies will sleep in for us all?? LOL!!
Enjoy yourselves!!
-
Well I'm just popping in because Christmas starts in our family in a couple of hours with our Christmas Eve dinner...so, just wanted to say:
Every blessing and a very safe and happy Christmas to each one of my dear baby buddies (and happy hols to MP :)) and your gorgeous children and your families. You know it's been a big year in this household and Christmas represents coming out the other end - so I really want to take the opportunity to tell you all how much your support and friendship has meant to me. I never could've imagined the first day I stumbled across BB the amazing people I would meet here. I consider myself so lucky to have been able to meet some of your IRL and hope one day I can meet the rest of you. So this year when you're enjoying Christmas remind yourself what an awesome person you are, that you light up someone's life (mine), that just by being yourself the world is a better place. xxx
:grouphug:
-
aawwwww thanks MD :)
Merry Xmas evryone, thanks for being such good friends. Give the littlies all a big kiss from me xoxox
-
Thanks MD :grouphug: I think that everyone that has been there for you this past year has taken something from it as well - your strength and humor during your journey has been amazing.
As for me, I have my Christmas wish already - my little boy is back to his happy little self! I have no idea what the problem was over the last two months, but finally he is fun to be around again. I am so happy to be able to enjoy the time I spend with him.
There are still 4 sleeps until our delayed Christmas, but I can't wait! (or as W says "William's not waiting until Christmas!")
3 years ago I would have never believed that I would have a bunch of internet friends that mean so much to me. I am a bit of a Nigel in real life and it really does make a huge difference to my life to have you guys here. Hope you are all having a great Christmas, this year is going to be great with our big 2 year olds!
-
Merry Christmas everyone! I hope we have all had a great start to the day and that all our little ones aren't completely overtired yet ROFL. I think Alister has another hr in him before he loses it because he slept in till past 8 and we wouldn't let the kids open anything till we were all awake and so he had to be woken before he was ready LOL
-
Merry Christmas you lovely ladies. xxxx
