Shell - I would be SO PI$$ED OFF.

Malyna - Yeah maybe sleep school. If you have private health insurance ther ae some great ones around, that offer a few days in.

[olive]

[lilima]

I think there is an echo in here!!! Hhhhhhhh eeeeeeee llllllll llllll ooooooo!

OK off to work now

[AliBaby]

Hi girls,

Still around, but busy. Been marking assessments and writing reports and all the usual stuff as well.

Dont think I am going to have them in on time for some reason!

to everyone and their babies!

[shellbell3]

I know very unusually quiet in here for all the chatter boxes!
We had lovely day, took the girls to the local park for a picnic and Emily didn't whinge or grizzle once so must've been fun!

Poor Ash at the shopping centre playground got shoved and kicked at by some little ***** kid who looked about 6, the mother was off having coffee where she could only see part of the playground and this girl and her brother were bullying quite a few kids. I told her off but thinking now I should've gone and said something to the mother just to keep an eye on her kids.

Hope everyone is doing well and getting sleep!

[Malyna]

Hi girls - well Alex is now sleeping.. his teeth came up today at lunch with a GF, then they went down by the time DH came home.

I don't get it. he did this last time he went all crazy with the sleep, by the time I got around to booking him in, he fixed himself up again.

He's now started scooting things across the floor - i.e. get a book under his hands, then crawl forward with his knees. Everything is going across the house, he got into my purse and my medicare did a hot lap of the lounge, dinner plate, cat food bowl, remote, books.. sigh.. (its a hoot!)

Malyna - cheeky boy retracting those teeth They can go up and down for a while before they finally come out. I think they always improve when you make the call to do something about them be it sleeping, illness etc. Kids have a sixth sense I think!

Shell - I would have been so cross about poor Ash!

Ali - good luck with all your reports. I remember my mum doing her reports for school and her sitting there for hours (usually trying to think of something nice to write about a horrible kid )

AFU - We have been very busy!! I have been doing my swimming teaching which is fun and I have 2 lots of classes. Tuesday mornings when my mum has the girls I teach 4 classes which range from 18m to 3.5yrs. Thursday afternoons when the girls are in CC I teach 5 classes ranging from 3.5yrs to 8yrs. Miss J is going to CC one full day a week and she is loving it. She has 2 sleeps and drink 2 full sippy cups and eats all her food. The carers say she is a joy and always happy - it makes it so much easier to have one full day where I do work from home and then teaching all in one go.

Hey girls

Sorry for being MIA, went over to Merimbula on the NSW south coast for an extended Cup weekend with the family! Good fun - hard work driving across and back though. Took a looong time.

Nai - great work on the teaching! Sounds like you are really enjoying it and it must make it so much easier knowing Miss J is enjoying CC.

Malyna - hope the sleep situation improves with Alex!! Fancy those teeth going up and down - how bizarre.

Shell - poor Ash. I would have told the kid off too but not sure about saying something to the mum... might have done, not sure! Oh and I would have throttled DH if he'd been behaving like your DF is!

Hi Ali - good luck with reports and marking!!!!

Olive - we have no teeth here either!

Holly - hope L's reaction has settled down!

Hi to everyone else!!!

AFM: just feeling sick and tired ATM, waiting for it to pass. Had a nap yesterday arvo as DH came home early, that was nice. He's home today but he's sick so no help there... ah well!

Isabel has started to wave - she puts her hand in the air and opens and closes her fingers in a fist, so cute. Except she does it at random times, not in response to us waving at her or anything like that! This is a pretty good age I think!

[Pinny-mum]

Hi all,
I too have been MIA, we went down to the family caravan for a few days which was wonderful. Lewis now offically commando crawling... and is soooo close to proper crawling... since getting home he has been trying so hard...he gets so fustrayed at himself too, I think it will be only a matter of days now!! Arrhh it is so much harder when the are on the move!!!

Will be back later to post too much washing to get done, thank goodness for the nice weather!

[Ellie]

Hi everyone
I'm here with my trusty blue bucket lol!
Had the strangest day...had my hair cut...which has been long and straight forever...I knew it had got thicker and a bit of a wave since being preg with A but now I've had it cut to my shoulders and layered I have CURLS...like curly CURLS! Bizarre! Poor A was asleep so didn't even know we were at the haridresser and woke up, took one look at me with CURLS and screamed the house down...I'm talking like 8 week needles scream...went SOOOOO red I thought she was going to explode! Poor DH had to take her for a walk and when he bought her back same thing...I think she hates it lol!!!! Was so bizarre! So that's the most excitement we've had in weeks around here! Now the countdown to 12 week scan on wednesday...hope A doesn't scream when she sees bubba on the screen lol!

[Malyna]

Nai - wow the swimming sounds fun. I can't believe how much she is eating!

Elli - Alex doesn't like tape measures or packing tape or bubble wrap - he screams!

Pinny - commado crawling - hmm... not long until the real thing starts - I think alex did that for about 2 weeks then decided he'd just go to normal crawling!

OP - wow long drive, glad to hear you got home safely.

Sorry can't think of anything particularly intelligent to say. Finally got new lounge suite that fits through our front door. Took me four hours to settle Alex tonight.

Wishing you all a good week.

[olive]

selfish post! i know i keep saying i'll BBL for personals and dont come back im sorry!
will try tomorrow when im not so bloooooomin hot, AC needs cleaning so not in use at the moment and im hating it!
millie is feral today cried to 90 mins this morning then 3 hours this arvo then again at bedtime been a stressfull day

[Pinny-mum]

Olive- how did ur night go? I hope it was better than the day you had!

Ellie- LOL about blue bucket.. i had a trusty bucket with both my kids and it was such a good feeling to chuck it out..I put it in the bin as I was in labour with Lewis this time...yes I needed it all the way through, hoping it settles for you soon..poor darl..

[shellbell3]

God I hate the heat, few days of it and I'm so over it.

Olive- I saw on FB you had a white tail or something in yr air con, how bloody scary! Hope Millie settles for you, is she coming down with something do you think?

Malyna- 4hrs! Omg, how has he gone down tonight?

Ellie- so has she got used to your curls yet? Thats quite cute poor thing didn't know whats going on! I wish I had curls, unfortunately when i cut all my hair off few years ago remained dead straight.

Pinny- Em is doing the cammando crawl, every so often she will start doing it properly but because she has to think to do it she goes slow then gets sick of it and start com crawling again, now I have to chase her away from all the electrical cords in the wall.

OP- My parents love going to Merimbula, would've been nice to get away but yeah quite a long drive.

Emily still isn't really into solids since being unwell, bit annoying cause she is never gonna sleep right thru at this rate!

[olive]

pinny she went well last night just up once at 4.30am!
didnt take too long to go to sleep this morning but slept for 90 mins so that was good, albeit cross ways at the bottom of the cot then this arvo was only 35 mins, tonight was ok, i had to feed her twice before she settled, reading the 'no cry nap solutions'

shell i hate the heat too, no more spider, blimmy it was big yuk
no crawling here either, still flying heaps
ellie i hope you feel better soon

nai im glad your liking swimming!

op still feeling sick?? to you too

[Nai]

Miss J was in our bed all night last night being a gizzle guts She's been happy as anything apart from that though! Although I think I am starting to see some signs of separation anxiety.

Olive - eeewww spiders! I hate spiders *shudder* No crawling here either, lots of sliding backwards though. Lots of clapping too (I just posted the video on FB)

Ellie - is A used to your hair now? I hope the MS settles down for you soon!

[olive]

nai we have s/a big time! its really bad!
millie doesnt clap wave or crawl and we have no teeth!

[HollyM]

Hello hello! Sorry have been very busy and when free, just too tired to post! Have read everything - seems like we're all busy.

L's dedication was yesterday and the bloody church has no aircon...there was one ceiling fan going at a very slow pace! I could have died! Even in the hall I was too hot and stressed to mingle properly coz L was also hot and miserable so I felt like such a bad host. It would have been a lot more enjoyable without the heat, but oh well. It was a beautiful service and the food was good!

Today we met a couple of mums and bubs from MG at the pools. Of course in true L style, he was a total grump. Did not like the water one bit! Wouldn't let me put him down on the towel either. Meanwhile, the others were happy enough to splash in the water and sit on the towels having a snack Lucky I haven't enrolled him in swimming lessons - it would take the whole lesson to stop him screaming!

Nothing much planned for the rest of the week. I'll catch up again with you all soon! xox
