happy belated birthday Ann
and
congrats little Hana on your FIRST tooth, you clever clogs

hope Ella gets better soon, bilby loves the dingle dangle scarecrow song too, pretending to be asleep, then jumping up for UP JUMPED THE SCARECROW part.

bilby woke EVERY two hours 24/7 until about 20 months old, i didn't have the energy to jump off the nearest bridge Ann, but if i did, i might have! i hate catnaps, if i'm going to sleep, it takes me AGES to GET to sleep, then i want to sleep a decent length of time. So despite KNOWING that the longest gap i would ever get, would be two hours (before she woke again), i couldn't brign myself to go to bed, i just thought "what's the point? as soon as i get to sleep, she'll be awake again". so i slept maybe two hours in 24 for nearly two years. By the time she started sleeping five hour stretches form 20 months, my body clock was so out of whack, took me a very long time to adjust. Even when i COULD sleep, my body wouldn't let me.

tomorrow afternoone, i find out the speech assessment results - can't wait!
