Oct/Nov 2008 mommies!

Hi ladies

Thinking of you Lelani. Hope the op goes really well for Marius.

Mandy no lunch break??? That is illegal!

Nelria have a safe trip home. It was wonderful meeting you and your sister.

Vix you have done so very well so I think your decision is the right one and I am sure it hasn't been an easy one to make either which means you have really thought about it carefully. I guess what I mean to say is that you have made an considered choice which is perfect and I am sure your boys are going to be healthy. At least you know what to do about the consitpation now if it were to occur.

I am so pleased C is okay after the accident with the glass door!!! Scary.

Simone there is no harm in treating yourself every now and again so I am pleased you enjoyed your scone!!!

Dylan is doing so well with swimming lessons. He now jumps into the deep end (makes no difference though as it is all deep end for him) and he swims to the corner. Okay lets actually state that he floats to the corner. He is so comfortable in the water that he floats along, but they say he is raising his head to the surface which is excellent. He is so cute!!!!

I can't wait to see the doc and get this behind me. Just need to know. It eases up and then bites me still so I was hoping it was going to go away but apparently not.

Mandy thats great that they've moved Cam to the 2-3 class - I promise you that you'll see a completely different child in a few weeks! When I moved Bryce to the new school last year April, he was only 18 months then but they also moved him straight into the 2-3 class because he was simply too busy for the toddler class. (probably their way of saying my boy is a busy-body! LOL) But I literally saw a massive change in him within about 2 weeks!! So stay positive doll - this could be a wonderful thing for him.

hi gals, okay so 6 weeks in the new office and the whole office can see my computer screen and they told me yesterday that I have to stop going onto funny websites all the time like facebook and moomie! its really creap since I dont smoke and its my way of having a breather!AND we dont get a lunch break, so i think thaI am going to email the two bosses and tell them that while I eat my lunch at my desk I will take 20 minutes to do whatever I want!!!

anyhoo - we are very well thanks! Nicole, We stopped giving Cam snacks so that he would eat one proper meal a day so he has cereal and toast or a biscuit over the first 2 hrs of being awake, then banana or toast or yogurt then ONE other meal and that is all he would eat. From 2 toddlers dont grow in weight as much so they can eat less. I sometimes make his supper and wait for him to ask for it just to prevent the fights over food!

Also - Cameron is not close to potty training, but it can happen anywhere from 18 months to 3 yrs apprently so when they are ready , they will want to do it, Im not too bothered. Infact at school they are starting the whole class with potty training and I am more ceoncerned theat they DONT pressure him!

GUESS WOT - cameron started school today and they moved him to the OLDER 2-3 class so he has skipped a class and now has NONE of his class mates with him! THey say because he is bigger and very emotionally mature for his age group, they feel he is ready! I am a bit apprehensive, but there are pros and cons, so I will just wait and see how he copes. He had fun while I was there this morning but had a few quick tears when I said I was going, but stopped before I got to the door ! I think they put him in the class becuase he is boisterous and a bit of a bully and it might help for him to have bigger kids around him!! but I m sad he doesnt have ANY of his friends!

anyhoo - the other collegues arriving now, so LATER~!

Vix very lucky C wasn't seriously injured and Jono wasn't injured!

Ally the twins eat very well...and drink a lot of liquids!

So its been day 1 of eating well. But I was starving at supper time and went to spar and got a scone:-( I was very good today though so won't beat myself up...its day 1. It can only get better! Lol

Hi ladies.

Ya Vix, I have so much to do when I get back and so many people want my advertising sheets etc. I can't complain though, I'm incredibly grateful that people want to advertise on my blog.

Jess, Abi and Aidan are the same. Abi speaks much better than AIdan but yesterday they were both speaking to C's mom on the phone and they were saying "hallo grandma, how you?" "good thanx" "we played on beach" "ok bye, love you grammy" hehehe. Too freaking cute. ANd the way they talk to each other just makes my heart melt everytime. Especially at night when one of them doesn't want to sleep, the other one will say "Shhhh, close eyes, dudus!!" lol I love it.

Nicole, K seems to be eating well. I'm very fortunate that the twins are still eating very well. I think it's because they are still in their high chairs though.

They're routine is pretty much like this :

08h00: Breakfast (Anything from otees, yoghurt and fruit and scrambled egg. I scramble 3 eggs for the 2 of them and they share a piece of toast and get about 5 cherry tomatoes each)

throughout the morning they ask for grapes and I sometimes give them each 2 salticrax etc.

12h00 : Lunch. Peanutbutter sandwich with 1/2 banana, yoghurt and fruit, leftovers from previous night etc.

13h00: Nap time, 50ml juice 350ml water out of their juice bottles.

15h00- 17h00 : some fruit etc.

18h00 : Dinner time. Whatever we eat and about 4tbsn protein, 1 potato, 3tbsn rice/pasta, 3tbsn veg and salad.

20h00: Bed time with 50ml juice and 350ml water (but they don't drink that anymore, they just want to know their juice bottles are there)

C says he thinks they still need milk but I don't think so. They eat cheese, yoghurt etc. so I'm not worried about the calcium. ANd they drink about 1l of fluids each day so I'm not worried about dehydration.

We haven't started potty training, but the other day we didn't have nappies so C just put a pair of my nephew's underpants on Aidan and asked him to tell him when he needs to wee and he took him like every 20 mins. He had a few accidents but pee'd in the toilet once so when we're home we'll start intensively.
