OK, only skimmed, in birthday preparation mode for DD2 (6 on Monday, party tomorrow - aaaagghhh!)
Madmouse - I know you must find it hard to vent steam in RL, but is there anyone at the church you could ask to talk to dh, say you're concerned? A curate or warden or someone? So rather than you ranting about him, say you're concerned as he's withdrawing from you and not supporting you, and it might give them the chance to ask him and for him to open up?
Lucky - I'd go long sleeves to cover up, easier than panicking what bits you've missed! So long as not too hot - when we went to Malta last year, DD3 only had short sleeved stuff but I put a light cotton cardi on her (as well as the suncream - belt-and-braces approach!)
Lucky - 28 changes of clothes???? I must be a slummy mummy - I have one a day, quick rinse gets most out, only give vanilla ice cream as it's cleaner than chocolate!!! Bibs with sleeves are good.
Simpson - DD2's best friend has hyper-mobility (she actually managed to dislocate her hip once as her legs stretched so far apart in her cot, she caught one in the bars - ouch!) She didn't walk until she was about 21 months, she is fine walking/running/climbing (now age 6) but still finds trickier things like skipping hard.
Simpson - fave toys at the mo are stacking cups, stacking boxes and a bucket of stickle bricks (you might want to take out the smallest ones). A lot of the time she just empties the bricks out then puts them back in, sometimes she'll stick a couple together, also she wanders round the house gathering things in the bucket.
