It's amazing how much difference a couple of months can make.

Toilet training seems to have clicked in Aidan's head, and while there are still more accidents than successes we ARE having plenty of successes. I'm thrilled.

Patrick finally has a first word - 'da', as in "ta". It's a simple word that I taught him to say when we passed things back and ( Read more... )

Why incinerate your weighted companion cube when you can EAT IT? If you haven't played Portal, well, you've missed out on some fun. Not that I ever finished it. My timing sucks, and I ended up dead a lot in level 17.

Warning: lengthy whinge ahead.

The family is about to drop dead from exhaustion. Actually, correction, we're already zombies.

This week we all seem to be suffering from a bad case of can't-get-to-sleepitis. Aidan wouldn't go down for his usual nap at daycare yesterday, so he was exhausted by the time he got home. That didn't stop him from staying up ( Read more... )

We beat the bacteria and Patrick was well again this past week. He's got a cold now, but it shouldn't stop me from working tomorrow.

My grandfather passed away on Monday, and I flew to Gladstone with Patrick on Friday for the funeral. Michael and ( Read more... )

  Well, I'm off work for another week, and this will be the third week in a row that Patrick's carer gets paid to do nothing. The doctor has increased the dose on Patrick's antibiotics. Everything has cleared up, except his throat. The doctor gave me a look, and it does look pretty icky in there.

Happy Valentines Day. Not that we celebrate it, but you might.

My baby boy turned one yesterday. He's walking everywhere now, and is such a cutie. He's got quite a temper, and will yank the mouse out of my hand if he thinks he's not getting enough attention. I need to get him some shoes so he can occasionally be allowed out of his pram when we're ( Read more... )

My sons are sick. Patrick was a little off over the weekend and on Monday had a mild fever, which broke overnight. We woke on Tuesday morning to spots. The doctor says it's a virus, possibly roseola. Last night both boys had a mild fever (37.5 ish for both) and Aidan went to bed early and is still asleep four hours after his usual wake up time. ( Read more... )

Aidan turned three yesterday. I didn't blog about it until now because we had his party tonight. Well, we had cake and presents tonight with his uncle Ian.

I like decorating cakes.
