MotherCARE ladies Mothercare
L is having a big day out tomorrow with grandpa- they're going to the movies to see the Dragon movie and J and i are meeting up with a gf for coffee.
we went to a family fun day at a garden up the road fron us today and L got to pat a baby possum, an owl, a snake and a crocodile! then on the way home we saw a wild deer on the side of the road. L absolutely loved it!
Went down to visit family over the weekend. All good, but not enough time to people for as long as I would like. My best friend came up and I got to spend all day with him which was great. We went to the beach with my cousins and their kids, it is cool that we have a group of next gen bubba's now.
I can't recommend enough waiting until TT is child-initiated. It has now been two weeks since W decided no more nappies and he is going so well. He wears a pull-ups at night and they are dry about half the time. He even managed to go the whole 4 days of travelling/out and about with only one accident. I am so proud of him.
MD: hmm the arrowroot idea is something that i *think* even i can handle LOL! oh and as for the ranting and raving...can i just say that it totally reminds me of the dynamic that i had with my mum...yes, i was a nerd that loved nothing more than forgetting about things to the last minute and my mum was the librarian that had it all under control...she told me that libraries are real places too LOL! (and if it's any consolation, i did turn out aok...albeit having allergic reactions to libraries while at school - my mum actually worked in the one at school...embarrassment PLUS for any 14 yr old lol, but once i hit uni it was all systems go and never looked back!).
Arte: ahh a day at the beach sounds just perfect right now. and how awesome is W with the TT. i'll so take his lead and let leila find the way...with some guidance (i guess?).
G: how does L go at the movies? i really wanna take leila but am wondering if it will just be stress town as she jumps all over the place??
AFM: well the meeting is OVER! they apparently changed the time to an hour before hand and tried to make out that i was disorganised, until i whipped out my email and proved to them that they had, in fact, failed to inform me of the time change. they sooooo had to eat their words LOL! after that they were quite nice and told me that i have a thesis!! so great to hear those words. basically i have to knock one chapter around with a battering ram and do the general edit and i should be home and hosed for a mid August end date! pressure is on, but i knew that once i got the BFP. but it wont be bad to finish with a PhD and two babies in 3.5 years!! so glad that meeting is over though. i really cannot stand that kind of top heavy environment.
yay - well done clare... i knew you would ace it but also how much stress and hard work has gone in. wow what an achievement filled 3.5 yrs - thats phenomenal! hope the last stretch is a smooth ride... xxx
Clare - well done on having that email printed off and ready to wave in their faces!!
Well I am rethinking TT now. We've sort of mentioned it a few times lately and got lots of negatives from Miss K. Must admit I throught more of the little ones were TT'ed and I'm getting a bit of pressure from family members about her still being nappies which is why I thought about doing it. Might just have to eat that bag of incentive smarties all by myself!!
Hi girls
It's quiet in here.... hope everyone is having a fun Good Friday! i am glad to have a few days off... hope i get some rest, i am soooo tired. wondering if i have bitten off more than i can chew atm but think a few days when hopefully i can get life a bit in order will help.
Poor little J is having a rough time. he was badly constipated - interest in solids has sky rocketed (not like N was but having more) and think that's been causing probs.. anyway think we got over that yest and then in th enight he started screaming and obv had a v sore throat. called the locum servicve who came out to see him this morning and he has a throat infection and sore ears (but not ear infection) so we got him some anti bis... so i guess the weekend will be full of R&R for the little man. i forgot how hard it is when one issue cascades into another....
I have taken N to one movie - it was the wiggles concert on the big screen. he loved that but i am not sure how he would go with a movie with a plot to follow etc...
Hi lovelies sorry I haven't been around much. Has been a very busy month. Both kids have been sick (along with DH) as well as a trip to Sydney and trying to work as much as I can. I think about you all often though and jump on and read when I can.
Will try my hardest to catch up more later, just wanted to quickly say hi.
