Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Mandy Is cam doing better?

Mandy what is gross and fine motor skills? never heard of it before.

Carika that is flippen scarey stuff

Zee - it sucks losing long posts, its happened to most of us and my blood boiled!!

Vix, I am enjoying reading your jan 2010 mommies posts now.. bit sad its not all of us together again, but at least you are still with us here! Sorry your sister is leaving! boo hoo.

Simone i agree your child is a mensa candidate, mine cant seem to remember more than a money dog lion and kitty!

so at top tots the teacher says i need to do more fine motor skills development with cam to help him sit still and develop his concentration a bit more! she says it isnt a serious problem yet, but he runs around the class distracted while the rest of the kids sit in a circle and do what they are told....

Im not stressing too much though as its exactly like she says, it just means to do games like posting shapes into boxes and like putting golf tees into polystyrene or picking up pick up sticks or painting etc.. so fun stuff anyway, she said the trick is to change from gross motor to fine motor every 5 - 10 minutes and then slowly increase more of the fine motor stuff!!

its cold cold cold have a nice evening all!

Hi ladies!

Zee I so felt your anger with lost post!lol.shame man! I agree re: poetic justice and Vix! very true! Vix we hope u pile on the kgs!lol

Glad ziani enjoyed the class! stimulating stuff??? Hmmm.... Depends what u wanna teach her. I started with an extensive animal book. From birds to insects to sea animals. So Addy even knows a penguin for example...and she knows 'dillo'...armadillo. Then I aim to teach 2 new per week.

Or what about an abacus to teach her to count? Or one of those big colour charts? Or the big charts with shapes? Or google games for day mother to play with her.

those are what I'm busy with now. Not sure if its along the lines u are thinking??

Vix have u posted the pics yet from tertia?

And who posted pics of last week's meet?

Addy slept great! Woke at 5:30am....drank a bottle then slept til 7! We then put on teletubbies and we slept til 8! Bliss! Then went to a little coffee shop/restaurant with a play place for the kids.... Addy had a blast! Spent about 2hrs there!

Hi guys,

Ara- great to hear from you again! I would also suggest your friend phones her gynae, I personally try not to suggest specific medicines during pregnancy just in case they have side effects.

Julz- my sister bought C a really nice pair of red wellington boots from Woolies with a soft fur lining for about R90 C loves them!

Zee- baby boom or city will exchange without recipt but also any major store like PnP or Checkers, game, most will because they can re sell.

Simone- I hope Gerard didn't wake Addy last night but managed to finish fixing things LOL

Mandy- sorry Cam is sick but atleast it's not a chest infection again. Hope he is better soon.

My sister is flying home tonight. Then I need to get all my tons of accumilated work finished.

Ara,also no idea, think she should just call her gynae or ask on gynae 24. I love those sites.

Nelria, bad about the keys Have you started organising Xen's stuff?

And guys, now that it is only Ziani at the day mother I would like to give her some stuff to stimulate her. What can I give her (keeping in mind that I'm not related to Bill Gates ...)

Oh yes, and another thing, I've got some nappies that I would like to exchange for larger ones, which stores exhanges without a receipt?

Okay, now that I'm a bit calmer, I'll try again ...

Carika, good to hear from you again, just glad Cathy is doing okay, sorry about the horrible experience though. ..

Julz, hugs to you, hope the homeopathic meds help.

Helen, slippers sound cute, hope the nausea subsides so that you can eat again, just keep on taking the preggy vitamins!

Ange, congrats on DH's bday, hope you all have a terrific day.

Ally, good luck to you as well, hope you can get some help and truly be happy. I'm sure the exciting path your career is taking, will boost your confidence as well ..

Simone, shame man, that rash is persistent, hope he can give her some new better stuff. And good luck with the studying... I wish I could stop procrastinating as I'm writing on the 19th with another major assignment due on the 10th. Damn!

Mandy, hope Cam gets rid of the nasty cold as well.

So, the Kindermusik class was fun! I think Z really enjoyed it and even hopped around and participated.

Vix, hope you are feeling well. I never stopped eating during m y pregnancy and that is why I gained 22+ kgs ... Man, I ate and ate. I remember how you actually lost kilo's when pregnant with C so it would actually be poetic justice if you now gain a few LOL

#$#@$@#$#$@ just lost one heck of a long message!!!! I'm now so disgusted I'm not even going to try and remember it all. Will try a bit later when I had some strong coffee!!!
