Arte - DH is really bad at calling when he is going to be late. I am about to make a big deal of it with him as K spends the whole evening thinking that the garage door is opening and he is coming home only to get a very sad look on her face (and constantly asking where he is). He does call if he will be too late for bedtime, but I want to know if he will be later than 6. He was very good for a while after he got freaked out when I was caught late at work one night (before K) and he was very good with being home at a certain time when I was on mat leave, but he has slacked off a bit lately. So if you're worried about sounding controlling, just blame it on the kids and say they're always asking where he is.

Arte - I think we also got off very lightly with TT. K does not poo on toilets that aren't in her house or at school (maybe twice). We have also had minimal accidents out and about, usually just a little bit of damp undies rather than a whole flood. My niece (who was down on the weekend) is having a shocker though, I swear they went through 10 pairs of undies on Saturday. She doesn't have any accidents at school, just at home.

We had a good weekend - my sis, BIL and niece came down. The littlies had an awesome time at the beach and we didn't have too many fights. K lost her shoe in the bay yesterday and DH had to wade in to get it which created a lot of excitement from them. I didn't cope very well though with K getting up at 5:45 each morning though ready to play (especially when she was still awake at 9 each night). Yesterday she slept for 2.5 hours and just crashed at nighttime.

Unfortuantely still crazy at work, so better get back to it.
