Arte: *mwah* that is so cute about Amelia loving the animals! Leila was the same...just wanted to hug and kiss all day long lol. here's hoping you dont have to wait long for the kindy spot! sounds like he is really into it.
i actually have no preference at this point for boy or girl... a girl would be cool as we have some lovely clothes still from when leila was a bubba and i would LOVE to rip those out again, but a boy would also be cool cause it would be fun to see what kind of human boy we would make lol! (and DH would love the extra rough and tumble...although Leila does give him a run for his money lol).
MP: wowsers. 16 reports would have me sweating bullets too. i just handed in a 30,000 word update on my progress and am awaiting the Big Meeting on Tuesday. silently freaking out.
MD: hmmmm...maybe the pink is a vibe?!!! omg lol! we get to find out on the 12th of april...cant wait!!!
AFM: all good here. teeth are a bit sore with the readjustment blues of the braces. but this too shall pass...
Leila is also recovering from the conjunctivitis and sleeping much better, so that is a relief. she was sooo stoked to be back at kindy today. she just took off into the sunset (so to speak) and didnt look back. i was standing there like a nincompoop going: 'bye leila, BYEEEEEE!' ha ha ha!
Cass - I know the feeling of saying good bye to someone who is far too involved in what they are doing. Especially happens for us on days when her BFF (Tyler) is at school. He came running across with a dinosaur one day this week and they were roaring at each other around the room. Very cute.
MP - so glad that things are working out for you and that you were happy with what the nurse suggested. Good on J for adjusting quickly to the new routines.
DH has gone out for the evening (primary school reunion) and I tried to watch Big Love but it froze on me. Very frustrating.
Arte - hopefully you get W into the kindy soon, sounds like he would have a ball there. Are the tantrums a lot better now? Thanks for the wishes re TT, I figure we will have a reasonably quiet weekend at home (close to the potty) and just see how we go.
Isa - oh dear, bleach and oobi does not sound good!
Hi everyone! I've been bad and not been posting again, but it's been hectic and I'm feeling pretty drained being a support for Mum because things aren't good and I have just had enough time to pop in and do a few quick posts but not much else sorry
A had his first day at cc today and he was so sad when I left he knew what was going to happen I think, because he wouldn't let them take his lunchbox and drink bottle and put them in the fridge, he kept hanging onto them and he'd go off for a walk and then turn to see if I was still there. he was so unsure of himself. Then I had to go and one of the staff took him and I said I have to go now but I'll be back soon and he started saying 'my come too' and I had to get out of there quick before I started blubbering and I could hear him starting to cry. They said they would call me if he was too distressed and I was only across the road at the school but they never called so I figured that he settled down so once I finished at the school I thought I would duck down the street quickly and see our Solicitor to try and get a will sorted for Mum's DP and then I came back to get him and he didn't realise I was there so I watched him as they read a story to the kids and he seemed fine. And then he saw me LOL. He shouted MUM! and then he took off like a dog shot in the bum and got his lunch box, drink bottle and then tried to get the nappy bag ROFL. They said he settled OK, was still a bit unsure though but played OK on his own. I think he couldn't wait to get out of there LOL. I was happier once I realised that he had been OK though. So I think I might use it every second week just to get him used to it, otherwise I am going to need to use it for a few days at a time when I start prac and he wont like it and it will make it harder kwim?
On the TT front though, we still are so not ready! He will tell me when he has done a 1 or a 2 (or like yesterday when it was a #3! Blergh!) but he wont wear jocks again. I think he will be like L was so I'm not fussed. Once L decided to TT he was day and night trained in 3 wks so I wont complain if A is like that too. But I have started taking him to the loo at bathtime before he gets in to get him used to it. I asked him the other night if he needed to go to the toilet and he said 'no, my do it in the bath'!!!! Only a boy would do that! Then tonight at bathtime and we are standing at the toilet, me behind him with my knee pushing his bum forward so old percy actually reaches over the bowl and he's trying to hang onto it and he gets it and points it up at him and I said 'dude! percy points DOWN!' That is the last thing I need to be cleaning up ROFL.
hi everyone!
trill we are also not ready for tt - are we getting to the late stage???? N wears undies sometimes at kindy but he seems scared to sit on the toilet... they say he asks to wear them and he will sit on there at kindy but no action yet... i guess its a case of wait and see, i am not too worried about it, and to be honest with all the chg he has ha di guess i would be expecting it to be a while yet...
how are the teeth MD?
oooh oobi and bleach sounds terrible!
afm all is well. we had a sleep through from J on fri night! i was stoked. last night not so good but not as bad as we had had previously so things are def a lot better. its amazing how much better i feel now we are a bit more in control and i have had a little more sleep! he is having a 2 hr nap at the moment... in fact i have just missed a party to welcome my friends dd as he slept the whole bloody time! LOL!
it ios passover tomorrow - i am hosting at our place tomorrow night - 22 people. luckily i have roped in ppl to help with the cooking and we have hired someone to help us on the night. should be good but yes i am a nutter!
had a little shjopping spree for N winter clothes yest. i got quite abit of stuff at the new mothercare store (in chadstone) - they have lovely things - mix of basics and really spec stuff.
MP, nah its fine, not late at all. L was 2yrs 11mths and completely out of nappies within that month. And even then it was because I really pushed him because I was pg with P and really didn't fancy having 3 in nappies. I know a lot of kids were were older than that before they started and a lot that were heaps younger. I think this is truly the one time where they cannot put a *date* on when it should happen. Like with my girls, they were TT at 2 but it was a lot longer before they were out of nappies completely, closer to 2.5 and there were a lot of accidents too.
That is really good news that you feel more in control of things and that he is sleeping better
ohhhh mp i am dying to go to mothercare. tell me more about it!
we used to have heaps of their clothes sent over from relos in uk when we were little and they had some beautiful stuff
Sherie: i had to giggle at As 'creative' wee position LOL! i can just imagine the special cleaning that would take LOL! nothing like mopping the roof ROFL!
i'm sorry to hear that things with your Mum are going haywire again. i hope that the will stuff will be sorted soon for you all xx
sounds as though A will settle in quite nicely at his CC. you might find that it takes a bit if he only goes once a fortnight, as he wont be able to fit in as quickly, but once he starts going a bit more often he should be right as rain IYKWIM.
MP: 22 people. you are mad lol! at least you will have some people helping with the cooking and serving...big weight off your shoulders considering what it could of been. man, i can barely organise an easter egg hunt in my own backyard for the kids LOL!
Ginger: i havent even heard of mothercraft! i thought that it was a subject they used to teach girls at highschool in the 60s
Cally: yeah, we find Leila's best days at kindy are when her bestie is there. they are so cute, when one of them arrives the other runs up and they give eachother big cuddles and toddle off hand in hand *mwah*
AFM: all good here again. had a lovely whole day out yesterday visiting friends and today we went to this warehouse full of easter eggs...so bought up big on the ol lindt and bunny rabbits for leila. will go to haighs during the week for a bilby too.
Then tonight at bathtime and we are standing at the toilet, me behind him with my knee pushing his bum forward so old percy actually reaches over the bowl 
and he's trying to hang onto it and he gets it and points it up at him and I said 'dude! percy points DOWN!' That is the last thing I need to be cleaning up ROFL.
