Far out Oz, I can't believe it's been a year already! It really doesn't feel like she's been here a year already.
YUCK Cass! I would be mortified if it were me. I made both boys sit down to wee and I always wiped their bums for them because I just don't think I could handle cleaning up a mess like that.
Well tomorrow I'm off to Canberra and I'm going to meet up with Dusty, Onyx and Muppity while I'm down there. I'm so excited!
Oz: i'm with trill...can't believe that it's been a year...wow. it does go fast...Marta will be a month old on tuesday. man only feels literally like last week that i had her!
Trill: GREEN WITH ENVY!!! have a lovely, awesome, kid free time!!!
AFM: well, apart from the night where Marta was sick, we have managed to have 5 days of both girls going down at the same time . Even though it is bound to change it has given me hope that the long term can be achieved...and i do love having a couple of hours in the evening to just zone out IYKWIM.
went to the target babython today. bought Leila GORGEOUS summer clothes. they have the best pinstriped shorts and ruffle tops out...ALSO the sale is on socks and undies too! so we bought up big for her.
Thanks everyone for your reassurance re the hand washing. I think it sounds more like normal behaviour but I'm just worrying more because of the childcare disaster and all the clingy seperation anxiety we're getting.
MP - chuck some petunias or nasturtiums or even some snap dragons, they are fun to play with and grow pretty quickly. If you want more edibles, you can't go past baby carrots or radishes (fun to pull out and eat) or snow peas/sugar snap peas. I've got a batch in that have just started to flower, can't wait for the peas to start.
JM, yep Missy E is on to me with the choices too. She just answers "nothing" (usually with arms folded and sulky frown on face LOL). Well done with locking yourself away with a book! Sounds like an excellent fall-back plan.
Cass, oooh definitely discourage the toilet paper wiping. Missy E wants to do everything herself but she is happy to lean over and let me wipe her...not that we've had any toilet poos. So you're still ahead of the game LOL. Excellent haul at the Target Babython. E has had a growth spurt and suddenly a heap of her clothes don't fit her anymore. Good excuse for a shop up!
Oz, wow that year went quickly!
Trill, enjoy your trip, jealous of your meetup after my recent failed attempts LOL.
yeah leila had a massive growth spurt too. pity is that i forgot to check out the shoes..as the sale includes shoes and she needs new sandals...MUST GO BACK lol.
G: you could always get it for the boys lol! well the pinstripes shorts at least lol.
AFM: am sick. Marta passed it on...boo hoo! no energy and sore throat and poor wee bubs is also still blocked up. arrghhh!
Cass - hope you feel better soon. Definitely hitting Canberra Centre Target next week!!
Trill - have a wonderful time in Canberra, and enjoy your meetup!
Anyone else getting NOW on every request?
Oz - a year, you've got to be kidding!!
Miss K was wanting to wipe her own bottom (me 3!) last week, but she was happy to just do it a couple of times and then let us finish off. I made sure that DH didn't encourage it this week because I told him I was not ready to deal with that! As I left this morning I heard DH saying 'assume the wiping position' from the bathroom so I'm taking that to mean she wasn't doing it herself.
Mmm, we should get something grown in the garden for K to look after.
