What a week

Well, what a weekend! We are now on day 5 of the great potty training escapade and it seems to be working just fine. Matthew is quite happy on the potty and regularly giving his sister updates on his 'movements'!! It's been fantastic to not have to change a nappy (apart from after his sleep). I felt completely exhausted by the end of the weekend but I think we've cracked it.....

Sophie's first tooth made an appearance on Tuesday. It has only just broken through but yet another milestone in her little life. She hasn't been too happy getting it out so hopefully she'll calm down a bit now. Bless her.

On Sunday we headed down to Yarumba beach to have some family portraits taken. Really looking forward to seeing them. It was a lovely spot and we all dressed up nice for them. Needless to say within two minutes of being near the water, not only was my son wet but so was my husband! I really don't know who is worse out of those two!!!!! We then headed over for a drink with Mum and Dad and a catch up on the gossip.

Monday, Lisa and I went out for our morning walk at around 7:30 and then I went over to Sue's for morning tea. Julia couldn't make it as her Mum and Dad are still over from the UK. The children ran riot and pretty much trashed Sue's lovely house! After another morning walk with Lisa on Tuesday we had swimming. The children continue to do really well and Sophie is just loving the water. Matthew is a little fish and Mum and I have to be really careful to watch him all the time.

We had a quiet day on Wednesday, we spent most of the morning at home. In the afternoon we went out for a walk with Lisa and Jett along the sea front from Alexandra Headland to Mooloolaba. About half an hours walk each way and pretty hilly, interesting when you're pushing a pushchair with two children in it and a Wiggles bag full of food!!! Matthew had another good day with his potty, and I'm beginning to think that we're on the home run. Finger's crossed.

Thursday was pretty busy. An early morning walk with Lisa and Jett and then we headed over to Mudjimba for playgroup in the morning. In the afternoon we met up with Judy, Linda, and Janie at the Ginger Factory in Yandina. Matthew had a couple of accidents today and seemed to take a step back. Let's hope it's just a little blip!

Matthew seemed to have forgotten that the potty existed on Friday! We spent of the day at home. Still sticking with it though.

Saturday we went out and did the shopping in the morning and then went over to see Mum and Dad, who had just returned from a week away. They seemed to have a lovely time and certainly looked refreshed. Sue, Retief and Indi braved the really heavy rain and came over for a curry and few beers in the evening.

We went out for a breakfast barbeque on Sunday morning with some friends in Noosaville. It was a lovely hot morning, a complete change from Saturday. Matthew had a good play about and was completely worn out by the time we left! The children had a good sleep and then we headed over to Valerie's house in the afternoon for Lilli's first birthday party. It was a lovely day.

I've got some pictures that I'll get uploaded in the day or so.
