Hello all!!
well now things have changed considerably recently, Ellen is now sleeping 6 out of 7 nights from 9 till about 6 or 7, which means not only am i getting a luxurious amount of sleep, but Michael and i finally have our evenings back. which apart from anything else means we can have an ADULT conversation which doesn't contain the words iggle piggle or upsy daisy (more on that later)
Thomas' new big boy bed is arriving tomorrow, which means for a few months we will have a crib, cot AND toddler bed in the one tiny room! but no matter, Thomas seems to be afraid of beds at the moment so the idea is to De-sensitise him to it by just having it up in the room for him to tuck his toys into.. we will soon see if that works!
Ellen is smiling all the time now, however not often at me (unless I'm singing), she seems to prefer strangers than her own mother. wonderful! ah well I'm sure its nothing personal :)
Thomas went on his first ride on car (the ones that whizz round a track on the high street) the other day and i was surprised he sat still the whole time laughing his head of instead of trying to get out. i cant believe how much he has changed since Ellen was born it really is astounding.

Now as promised onto the Iggle Piggle stuff. as any mother of very young children will know there is a newish program on cbeebies called "In The Night Garden". (Iggle Piggle is the blue character on the left) Thomas is OBSESSED. Its the only program he will sit and watch for the entire episode rather than running round the room and being distracted all the time. Well now of course every shop has a display of toys, books etc and Thomas wants me to buy them for him. so far i have only bought one small stuffed toy, and ordered some bits for Xmas but it is getting hard not to buy him everything as its the first thing he has shown a real interest in. am i mad?anyway that's it for now write soon!
