April/ May 07 Toddlers

Thanks for the birthday wishes Julie, Kyan had a lovely time at his party but we had a very exhausted bubba by the end of it all! I'll post a pic of his cake when I get a chance.

Congrats again Julie on becoming a SAHM - I am very pleased for you (but very jealous too!!)

Yay on the molar for Sam!! Its great that she was so settled with it - we had a pretty rough time with the first one but the second one is looking to come through any day now without much trouble thank god!!

Charlotte, great to hear the party went well - still waiting on the pics though...! I didn't take any at Kyan's...oops! I'm hoping someone did and will be able to send them to me!

Hope its going well with Cailin at kindy, I bet she is loving it.

We went to Plunket this morning and my boy is 10.6kgs and 80cm tall. He's definitely going to be tall like his dad.

Where is everybody??

Wow on the teeth Sterryn!! We still haven't gotten any more through here but it can't be too far away.

Kyan's favourite toy from his party Sterryn is....the school bus!!!! Good choice ! He pushes it round the place and loves the little song it plays and you have to keep pusing the button to play it for him. Sam will have to come over and play again soon.

Well for the first time, Kyan didn't cry at all today at swimming, he had such a great time & it was just gorgeous to watch. He loves the part where the instructor sits him on the ledge, they count to 3 and he jumps in and goes right under - he has such a big smile on his face and shuts his eyes tight, soooooo cute!!

Kyan learnt to clap on Tuesday (finally!!), and when you say clap your hands he just goes for it. Gives me a high five if I ask for one too, he's just so interactive its amazing.

I cannot believe my baby is one tomorrow, I know you guys have all been there so can probably sympathise, but its actually really sad knowing that he is growing up... I'm hoping the weather is going to stay nice for us as we want to take him to the zoo for his birthday, but if it rains we'll go to Kelly Tarltons. And we'll treat him with a happy meal or something for lunch seeing as its such a special day.

Hope all the other bubbas are good, this thread is not as busy as it should be so get posting everyone!!

Aww Tash, that is beautiful!

Happy Birthday Kyan!!!

Poor Caleb. He loves his mummy though which is so nice

Sam is looking forward to Friday so she can play with him!

We went to Thames today and went through the Butterfly House. Sam loved it although really didn't like it when they landed on her. It was pretty amazing though. Makes me really want to go to Butterfly creek. Haven't been there yet!

Oh, and someone here has finally found her voice. She has started saying so many new words lately and her old words are way clearer. She will point at DH and say Dad, and say Hi when she sees you.   So cute!!!

happy birthday Kyan, may you cause your Mum less and less stress and more and more sleep as each year passes!!!!

Sorry, very slack here at the moment, Cailin is a very busy young lady with kindy 4 afternoons a week, daycare, swimming and playgroup in the mornings so when we get home we are all tired and grumpy so I am getting very little time on the pc

ditto Sterryn, I came on here this morning just to post something so we dont all get kicked out for being so slack
But life is so busy isn't it! I also have a problem of a certain young man pushing the off button on the pc every time I am on it, it is now barracaded up with a chair and big box of toys but he is doing his best to move it
Ha ha re the tantrums Sterryn, just think they have only just started, and they get bigger and bigger each day. cailin has finally grown out of the throw myself on the floor and kick arms and legs out everywhere screaming all the while....these were at their best on the main street
I am being very domestic too at the moment, I am trying my hand at making roman blinds for the new house, I thought I would start with Cailins room and if they turn out OK I will make them for the whole house. I am also making a dress for me out of the old curtains in our lounge, fingers crossed it comes out OK...mind you, if it doesn't it hasn't cost me anything

What are you trying to tell us Kathryn??

I would love another but have a deal with DH that we won't start trying until I have lost 20kgs. I really want to be healthier for the next one and with a toddler running around think I will need to be!!!
I should really start doing something about that losing weight thing huh :)

Poor little Kaleb!!! I will keep my fingers crossed it isn't another bug!
I was reading that their immune system doesn't have a memory for colds etc yet so they just keep getting them. We are currently in the midst of another cold here after JUST getting over the last one! Poor wee girl can hardly breathe. I am taking her to the doctors tomorrow and asking about the Demazin drops. Has anyone used them? They are meant to be quite good with decongesting them. Worth a try anyway!

Anyway, better go. Lots of things to do tonight.
We had Tash & Kyan over today for a play - it was great fun as usual

TTFN

Hehe no I'd LOVE another one but after working out our budget the other day the idea is on hold for a wee while. I too need to lose about 20kg - I've been doing WW for months now with only a little bit of success, but still I"m 10kg lighter than I was winter last year. THat's with not too much effort so I really need to crank it up a few notches especially since we've had to put WW into the budget and I can't really afford to pay to put on weight!

I have school holidays around the 7th of JUly if you want to have a mini OB catchup? GOing away to Taupo the second week - my lovely dad gave us his timeshare so it's just gonna cost us petrol and food YIPEE!

Oh, and I forgot to say

Happy Birthday for Tuesday Julie!!!

I hope you had a wonderful day and that your DH spoilt you rotten

Well I have just had the dreaded phone call. Daycare called and said that there is a place available for Kyan on the 30th of June

I am so so so sad to leave my boy, I am already crying my eyes out today, imagine what I'll be like the weekend before... I knew this was coming and that it had to hapen so we can get ourselves out of debt but its hit me really hard now that we have a firm date after all this time. Wow.
