AUG 08 - Be who you are and say what you feel...

"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." --Dr. Suess

Dealing with fussy crap here today. I picked up Reese' little broom and she wailed as if I was tossing it in the bin. I handed it over to her and she tossed it on the ground. Off to nap for her! I can still hear her grumbling.

Floors swept. House mostly tidy. Main windows washed. Dishes done. Laundry in progress. Considering museum trip later. Who am I and where has TS gone???

I've decided to go with Tany Byron's method as mentioned on her MN chat. Make them try a bit of the offending food before they're allowed their approved food. Apparently it can take at least 20 tries to convince tastebuds about something - makes sense when I think about all the foods I took years to grow into eg coffee, curry, chilli, spagbol, tomatoes, smoked salmon, one day maybe even olives and lamb.

Trust me poppy DS is nowhere near ready to give up his naps, not if today is anything to go by. I think it's just teeth; there seem to be about five or six all making a break for it at once.

Ooh we've had some attempts at speech today! Banana is now alaLA and I think he was trying to sing Twinkle Twinkle by doing the sign and chanting dar dar dar dar. For last 10mins he has been playing a lovely game opening and closing the door with a beaming 'Hiiiiiii.'

Super builder has been - DD's room has new floor, curtain rails up, He even hung the curtains [shock, our room is 1/2 done, doors arrive Friday for Monday fitting We moved DD into her big room as the baby's room is next on the floor list and he seems to be very speedy in laying floors.

Dh came home early to help and is now being a menace as he want to put things away when there is nowhere to put them as upstairs is still all in 1 room!

Buckets - Twinkle is one of DD's favorite songs. She sings it heartily and often with word to other songs.

evening - cc congrats on your win, sterling stuff

pert i love library thing; excited for your dh too, tres exotique

re the re-presenting food thing, that is a good idea. I remember my mum giving us food we didnt eat the next day for breakfast - I know there's a war on, however, I think that's going a bit far.

well done VG on having the only qualified and competent HV ever

VG - I would expect nothing less from a boy of yours We don't get an 18 month check our next official HV visit is at 3 years.

Hi Dizz - how was your day?

vg i love the way you chat on here! and you will be the first to hear if i ever need an HV translated!

its taken me hours to catch up and now its bed time.

night all, i'll try not to be so slack and part time tomorrow!

hi oops, thanks for asking, twas tiring which is embarassing as I haven't done much tbh - I'm just not sleeping well at the moment and its beginning to take its toll well done on the new floors and fingers crossed P loves her new room enough to have a long sleep

DH just informed me he's in for minimum 12hrs tomorrow

night Miamla

Night all, I'm off to soak in a nice warm bath before climbing over furniture to get into bed, so DD had better not wake up in the night I may not get to her until morning.

Good day Sazz??

night oops

hi Sazz

Definitely going now.

Sleep tight all and Sazz get some deap heat on the sore shoulder.

he'd bloody better!!!!! he's supposed to be on shift over the weekend but has been told they may or may not be changed as well

I need a new job where what he does doesn't affect who has the kids at all

anyway, enough of my whinging - whats up Sazz, are you ok?

neither does mine so no point in offering him either

Very quickly - thank you all for your excitement and advice! We are still thinking/talking/calculating but we are NOT relocating - anyway more update by tomorrow I hope. Sleep well you all.
