Hello Moomies...
Welcome Welcome Welcome Dzunie.
We are glad you have been following the thread, so you joined know what you letting yourself into...

so there wont be any "We told you so"
As to the leave, I was put under "Peer Pressure" by my friends to take at least 1 day, so I did. But like you Capiteca,I wanted to save my days
As to the toys, I buy all sorts of toys for Amahle, but ja I must admit, she only likes them for a few days, and would rather play with the things that she musnt play with like brushes, combs, utensils. The tin, she loves, I give her 2 spoons and she will beat it till she gets tired. Also made sumthing for her that I read ona baby site. Took an empty water bottle and put a few grains of samp, but you can use beans too. She loves the noise it makes, I think even more than her rattles coz its different too I think.
KC, hope Phelo gets better and she doesnt have to be admitted. We'll keep you in our prayers Moomie. Be strong for your baby.
Capiteca, yes only you can know when you are ready. It all depends on what you want, where your life is at the moment and all that. But yes if you gonna have a Nanny, then 2 is not a bad age for a 2nd one. Go for it dear.
