April/ May 07 Toddlers

I guess we had to do it sometime. I have been fighting it for a couple of weeks now and was thinking I would really have to sort this out soon.

Well I have had to have the last 2 days off work due to my miserable child (he is such a male when he is sick ) but it is back to work today. Wahoo not long until our holiday which I am really looking forward to even if it is only a short one. Now I just have to get a bunch of sewing finished before we go. Hmmm I think it should be a father/son weekend and I should be left alone to sew and knit

I know Kathryn! It's so frightening isn't it. I have been fighting the 'Toddler' title for a while, but I guess since Miss S has now starting running I should really submit to it

Woohoo to going on holiday Julie! While you sewing feel free to make Sam more nappies or dresses! The ones for her birthday are amazing!!! Will post photos of both once I get around to ironing the dress

Sam is carrying around her first proper spoon this afternoon. I bought her a purple & green spoon today so she can feed herself since she is so determined to!    Not that I have to worry about her not eating. For lunch today she had a marmite sandwich, a box of raisins, a cocktail sausage, 4 chippies & some of my sandwich.   I'm not altogether sure where she puts it all

Me too Scared and a little sad I think we might have to make a bit more of an effort in here to post though. I need more support these days - my toddler tantrum days have begun

OK, I am here too not sure about rushing into this toddler stage when I still have 13 sleeps before we get there but hey ho, here I am.
See you at the baby page Tash

don't worry tash, we girls with the REAL babies stick together, heading back over the fence now

Well I have been having a miserable week, as I have felt totally rotten and had to have some time off work.. It has reduced to a head cold which is still not the best as we fly out at 6.30 tomorrow morning You should see the stack of menthol medication I picked up today.
There are nose drops and tissues and vapour drops and airwaves gum, all to try and clear my nose in the next 12 hours. I am thinking it could be a lost cause though.

I am so looking forward to having a few days away in some nice warm weather though, thanks for the jealousy

I should be finishing the last of the packing and closing up the bags befoer the boys get home but am being lazy and trying to warm my toes in bed whoops

Sounds like you and Sam are going to be busy girls Sterryn.

wah hoo for Julie, up up and away, hope your cold goes away very very quickly and you get to have a great holiday
Sterryn, I loev the idea of playcentre but I look forward to getting rid of my kids for a few hours, I could never commit to that full time. We go to a playgroup at the local parent centre each fri which we love. Cailin goes swimming on a thurs, then she is at daycare one day a week. Life is busy enough without commiting to playcentre as well....I admire all the mums who decide to be playcentre mums, 10 points for them.

Anyway, very busy trying to sort a bday party (tomorrow night) and a surprise 40th wedding anniversary party (sat night) and I am chief cake maker and decorator for both. which would be fine if my oven worked, so I have to go to my sil house today to use hers, what a mare.
right I'm off to start on my 200 meter list

Ok guys where is everyone?

We got back very early monday morning and I have been sick every since. I had to go to the dr's today to get antibiotics as my throat has been swelling closed, and was starting to look pussy

Holiday was ok alothough we were very glad to come home and back to a bit more normalcy.

And my bit of news for the week is that as of Wednesday next week I am going to be a SAHM. YAY. I am very excited about it. What you up to next Friday Sterryn
Right off to get some more rest. Hope you all are doing well.

My child has just cut her first molar!! OMG, I didn't even realise. She wouldn't sleep tonight so I thought I would give her some bonjela, when I put my finger at the back of her gum there it was!
So bizarre though. She now has two top teeth, 3 bottom teeth and a molar! Talk about doing it out of order

first things first, the bday party was fantastic, we had it at the local parents centre and just had a sausage sizzle and lots of chips/dips and lollies. Then a quick tidy up and home we went to relax...all very easy. The cake turned out great too. I wll pop a pic or two up when I have time.
Wow, I can't beleive that little Sam is growing her molars already, she must want to eat a steak real quick huh
Julie, sorry to hear your damn cold has taken forever to go....but SO VERY HAPPY to read you are going to be a SAHM, congrats and welcome to the club.

I have had my apron strings really pulled this week , I weaned Jeremy, (pretty easy really) Jeremy turned one and Cailin started kindy....what has happend to my little babies , mind you, after saying that, I am loving giving Jeremy a bottle in the morning which he holds himself while I am drinking my coffee and am really looking forward to 2.5 hours each afternoon with only one child....wah hoooooo
have a great weekend everyone, I hope you are all having some of this amazing weather too
