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.
We finally had good weather here today too - absolutely beautiful! DH took the kids on a bushwalk and they saw an actual real kiwi! I stayed at home so I missed out And it finally happened - the kids sat down and played by themselves for about half an hour! DH and I were both able to get something done, it was magic! They were playing with blocks and A had to have all the ones W was using - all I could hear from the other room was "Amia, nooooooo!" lol
W is another thrilled by the toilets at kindy - was the first thing he told the IL's about when they asked.
W has been wiping his own bottom since he started using the potty - so about 6 months now. It never really occurred to me to keep doing it and he did it without any prompting so I thought that was how it went lol, wasn't until I heard some of the mothers group ladies talking that I realised I was on easy street. He actually does a fair job. There aren't often skid marks in his undies so I assume he is wiping most of it off? On occasion I help if he is having trouble but most of the time he is self-sufficient. He also trims his own finger and toe nails
Arte - I remember seeing a kiwi on our very second day in NZ, it was one of those magic moments. Hope you're stocking up on sunlight, sounds like you've been really deprived. BTW (FB leakage) can't wait to hear all about what you've done in W's room.
Well I was supposed to get out in the garden today but I had a huge lie-in instead, even finished reading a novel(!) I was pretty tired, we went out for dinner last night (yummy greek restaurant), and then a movie. We hired a babysitter (first time ever) but to my great relief Evil Twin Deidre has stayed in Qld, and Missy E was happy as larry to have a special visitor looking after them for the evening.
Trill I also can't wait to hear about your big weekend away!
Hope everyone else is having a great weekend. It's not over here yet - woohoo for long weekends.
Well the weekend was wonderful! Onyx, Muppity and Dusty are just gorgeous women and it was so good to meet them after all these years. Onyx and Muppity did Floriade with me on Friday and on Saturday I stopped in at Dusty's place for a cuppa before I headed home and I didn't leave till nearly 1pm LOL! I could have stayed and chatted to her for hours. And I got to have snuggles with Baby Freya as well. Also did a bit of shopping. Mostly just trying stuff on and putting it back LOL, but still good to spend as long as you want doing that and not have to worry about the kids getting bored or playing chasies through the shop
