Cass, it always happened with me too when I was pg - you could guarantee that your previously awesome sleeper would start night waking again LOL. And I defnitely think it is Mother natures way of getting us ready.

Noni, I'm glad you've gotten some help now and that you're feeling better.

Suz, I hope the change in diet helps a little. Sometimes it is the most surprising things that can set them off. My nephew can't eat too much fruit otherwise he is uncontrollable. Fingers crossed for bedtime tonight too

Arte, is A still sleeping well at night though? I hope she is. So bedtime for W is getting better then if he doesn't sleep during the day?

MD, H is back at school then? We don't go back till next Tuesday, so another week of holidays. Which is great because I think we have been busier than we are when school is on!

Things are OK here. Kids haven't been making me wish they WERE back at school yet so that's a good sign LOL. We took them to an airshow at Temora on Saturday and it was great. A thought it was awesome - he was so excited to see all the planes close up (they taxi to the runway literally only 100mts from you, so it's very *real* kwim?). But what made my day though was a woman who was sitting next to us came to me and told me that "You have the most well behaved children that I have ever seen and you should be proud of them. I'd really like to buy them a treat, is it OK if I buy them an icecream?" So what else could I say but "Thank you so much, that would be lovely" I was nearly about to burst into tears with pride LOL. So she got them a chocolate paddle pop each and they all thanked her and thought it was wonderful getting an icecream because we'd actually told them earlier that no, they couldn't have one ROFL.

Uni is going really well - I got a distinction for my last assignment and I am super stoked. Work wise I am staying on top of things well despite the holidays. I wait till they go outside and then I can get at least an hour of solid work done.

J is going OK, he and mum can't get married now because he is in no state to do it legally kwim? I wish his kids would stop hassling him about changing his name though, but I think Mum was able to get through to his DD and she was going to talk to her brother about backing off. Anyway it is at the stage where you just have to take each day as it comes I spent all day Sunday cooking meals for her and my brother to have in the freezer because she doesn't have the time or the inclination to cook after being at the hospital nearly all day. So I took those over yesterday for her.

A is just amazing atm. He is a real little boy now He is talking really well and OMG he has a wicked sense of humour. He is hilarious and makes us laugh so much. TT is still on hold because he really isn't ready still but that's OK. We just stand at the loo before bath time and it gets him practicing etc.

Oh and there is no more speech therapy for P!!!!!! After 18months her speechie said yesterday at our appointment that she feels Paige's issues have resolved and that her speech is at the same level of any other child that age. So it was a bit of a teary moment because her speechie is lovely and you really get to know each other over the time you see them, so it was a bit sad to know that we wouldn't be seeing her anymore but at the same time great because P has overcome the speech issues, so it was very bittersweet. After we left we went and brought her a big bunch of flowers and a small gift and took them back and left them at the office. I asked the desk woman to pass them on because I think I would have cried if we gave them to her.
