Hi All,

I know that first line makes no sense but it was just Amy blogging (11 month old daughter).

I have had a very intresting end of last week. Josh goes to childcare 2 days a week and anyone that has a child in childcare would know all the form you have to fill out when they enrole, well josh can't have green food colouring and it is written on his forms about 10 times that he can't have it. On Thursday to celebrate the grand final of AFL footy for afternoon tea they had a cake that was covered in green icing, so they let Josh have 3 slices. Needless to say when i picked him up and found out i wasn't very happy. The staff in his room didn't know he couldn't have it. I asked why they didn't know and i was told by the director that because they don't usually have green food colouring in the centre it wasn't written on a allergy sheet in his room. So being the understanding person that i am, i asked that no one get into trouble for this as i have never had a problem with the centre staff before. So i took him home and that is when the fun started. When Josh has green food colouring he goes completely nuts. Think about a really hypo child and times it by 10 and that is Josh. I let him go outside to try and run some energy out, 2 hours later he had to come inside because it was getting dark and i had to get dinner started so the running around turned into a full blown tantrum, this tantrum lasted 2 1/2 hours. Nothing would settle him down. I knew i couldn't get angry with him but i did find myself laughing when he asked if he could just have chocolate and ice cream for dinner and then crying like the world had come to an end when i said no. It was like i let him have that for dinner everynight and i was just being a bitch by saying no to him.

Finally at about 8:30 his daddy came home from cricket training after going straight from work and not actually knowing what had happened at childcare. The poor thing came into a house that looked like a tornado had gone through the place, Josh screaming because he was still asking for chocolate and ice cream for dinner and Amy screaming because she usually goes to bed a 7pm but she couldn't sleep because Josh was screaming and a mummy that greeted daddy with a "i need a drink"

Finally at 9:30 Josh hit the wall and fell asleep. We didn't hear a peep out of him which is very strange because he usually gets up a few times a night. On friday was another story, Josh gets up with me not knowing what to expect but he was very calm and he told me that he had a sore tummy in his head which i took to be a headache. So dosed him up on panadol and we had a very quite day.

Today i took him back into childcare and let them know what had happened. They couldn't say sorry enough, they informed me that they have changed their policy and now it is written on the allergy sheet and they will contact me if they have anything that they don't usually have just to check that Josh can have it. The director is even researching it so she understands it more as she has never come across a child with this allergy.

So hopefully this never happens again, poor Josh and his silly allergy that i can only say he got it from his mum. I also can't have green food colouring and now i know what i put my poor mum through. I didn't actually find out i was allergic to it until i was about 17 years old and at the time we found it funny what it could do to me. I tell people it feels like you are really drunk and you even get the hangover the next day in the form of a lovely migraine.

Anyway better finish here and give Amy some lunch after her little bit of blogging she must be hungry now.

Hi All,

Well my little boy is turning 3 tomorrow and i can't believe it!!!!!! The last 3 years have been the most stressful but rewarding time in my whole life.

He is such a beautiful boy who has the most kindest nature. I love waking up every morning wondering what the day is going to bring, everyday is a new adventure.

With all the stresses of sitting in a hospital waiting room with concussions from falling over, unexplained very high temperatures to him throwing the biggest tantrum in the supermarket because he can't hold the cupcakes. I still love him more and more.

I always wanted to be a mum but i didn't realise how much fun and stressful it would be. I still wish they did come with an instruction book but isn't that why you have more than 1 baby? If you stuff up with the first one you just start again with a new one! Lol.

I don't even mind being woken up every night. It has been 3 years since i have had a full nights sleep and i don't even miss it, i love being woken up at 7am with Josh telling me it's time to get up 

Josh has always been a Mummy's boy and where ever i am you are sure to find Joshua. Even when i try to sneak off for a shower or bath you can always find Josh not far behind getting himself ready to join me. I love it, i couldn't think of what life would be like without him.

Hubby and i are so proud of how far he has come in just the last year, with all the appointment we dragged him to with peds to speech therapy. He just took it all in. He welcomed his new sister into his life like she had always been here, to starting childcare and being away from mummy for a full day. He finally started talking just after we brought Amy home which was i think the biggest achievement in his life. (very long and stressful story) And also the new one of using the big toilet and wearing big boy jocks and NO NAPPIES!!!!!!

So all i have to say is, Josh-Josh have a fantastic birthday tomorrow, mummy and daddy love you very much and we are so proud of you.

Hope everyone has a great day and thank you to everyone that has sent me little tike bikes. I love coming onto minti at the moment, share the love everyone.

Well Amy has finally got some teeth coming through. At 10 months old she is looking a little bit silly with a mouth of gums. It is very strange that she isn't getting the two bottom teeth first it is the top fangs. she is going to look like a little vampire when they come through properly.

She is very angry at the moment, We didn't have any problem with Josh when he was teething he just got the teeth and that was it. But with Amy she is really angry and trying to put anything in her mouth. She has a temperature and really bad nappy rash which is giving her hell (and mummy).

Hopefully it wont take too long and she will be back to her happy little self.....

Anyway just had to let everyone know how happy i am that we can stop looking for false teeth for Amy....SHE IS GETTING HER OWN!!!

Hope everyone has a lovely week

Hi All,

Well we got back from Merimbula yesterday and it was very hard to fall asleep last night without hearing the beach. We had a fantastic time and the kids were great. The weather was really nice and the place we stayed was great for families.

Well if anyone has read my last few blogs you would know that we were worried about taking Josh on such a long car trip because he gets car sick. I have to say we almost got there without a problem until we were about 2 hours away from merimbula and the poor thing vomited. He was so sad that he vomited on his thomas the tank engine jumper, mummy was so happy that he didn't get anything but his jumper. I don't think i could have handled it if he had got his booster seat or the floor!!!!!!

Josh loved the jumping pillow and would wake up at 6 in the morning asking if we could go to the jumping pillow. He got to swim in the pool everyday so he was happy. Amy was very good but it was hard to take her to the beach because she tends to put anything in her mouth and always ended up with a mouthful of sand. We took the kids on a joy flight because Josh is obsessed with planes, I think i understand now that he just likes looking at planes. We were in the little 4 seater plane and it starts up Josh craps his pants and asks to get back in the car. THe poor thing wouldn't look out the window and had a hold of my hand the whole time. Then of course he starts going pale and telling me his tummy hurts which is usually an indication he is about to be sick. We managed to finish the "Joy" flight without him vomiting.

We also promised him that he could have a blue ice cream when we were on holidays to which he continued to remind us of. Do you think we could find a blue ice cream anywhere? Thinking we were in a coastal town we would have ice cream shops on every corner, not the case in merimbula. We looked like complete tools asking the lady in the ice cream shop if he could have the rainbow ice cream but could she get lots of blue in it. Oh well yet again we had a very happy Josh and as we all know a happy child is a happy mummy. (in my case anyway)!

We managed to drive the whole way home without Josh being sick but i think it helped that he slept through the first part when the road was at it most crappest and we had lots of lolly pops to give him when he started to look a little pale. Amy on the other hand hated the car trip home and decided to cry from the time we got back into the car after lunch until we got home which was about 3 hours.

I really wasn't ready for Father's Day today. Poor Hubby had to wait till about 2 this afternoon before he got his present. I got Josh to quickly make him a card this morning while hubby was in the shower. I couldn't get out till this afternoon when i had to rush up to the shop to get hubby a present and my dad a present. We just forgot that it was father's day until we were on holidays so hubby knew he wasn't getting anything until this afternoon anyway. I also had to organise a present for my mum's birthday which was last wednesday but because we were away i didn't give her anything before we left. So a very rushed day today. I think i will give hubby another Father's day next weekend because i think today just sucked. The kids were in crappy moods because they are just sooooooo tired and hubby and i snapped at each other because the kids just cried all day.

Anyway i better finish this here, it has been the longest blog i think i have written. Hope everyone is well and i hope to get to most peoples lounges in the next few days.

Juzzy xoxo
