Afraid I gave up before it loaded Jabber. My internet is broadband in name only. It is uber slow and at the moment keeps cutting out, think the lines around here are really old, of the era where buried lines were insulated with paper. They do not like cold and damp.
Lenni hope you have a fab time at Disney :)
I think in a lot of ways having a boy then a girl is so much easier than the other way round. Dd plays happily with all the boy toys so just takes a couple of things each birthday to cater to her girl tastes.
I feel in desperate need to normal routine at the moment. Dcs are so very washed out from pox then colds and everyone is very grumpy and shouty. Of course dd is entering a rather trying age but she is stubborn as a mule and disagrees with everything so extra grot does not help! Her new fave phrase is "no way". Often screamed at the top of her voice whenever we try to get her to do somehting. Works well with "that really hurts" for full effect in public. All the upset with moving to big bed (which worked really well and is still good once she is actually asleep) and people visiting and then staying overnight at MIL's (when dd has never settled well in other places) means that dd screams when we try to put her to bed no matter how tired she is. Last night was 45 mins of "no way" and throwing things befor eshe fell asleep. At MIL's she refused sleep until about 11pm.
Like I said, a period of normal routine is needed!
So much for the holiday destressing dh and making him more open to having another one
