My youngest had a little operation today she was so good she had her throat checked out she is fine I cant believe she walked out of the hospital smiling. We didn't go in to to much detail to her as to what she was having done all we said to her is the doctor needs to look at her throat and she was happy with that the funny thing was on the way home she was asking us how did that thing get on my hand (the drip thing) we explained to her remember you went to sleep so you couldn't feel it she doesnt believe she went to sleep so we left it that's why its not always good going into to much detail with young children just the basics. So happy it all went well and its over.

Have been trying doesn't seem to work so Basically if you are after the best health info to live by especially to use as a guide for our  children type in google (The Dietary Guidelines for Australians) and a booklet should come up which you don't have to download called (Food for health). We get these sent out to us but you can probably pick them up at government departments to do with child care and health.

Oh my goodness was she just carrying on before the girls had a great play all day and I said L could stay up today even though yesterday at care she didn't sleep. They were playing schools for a while doing the role call with their dolls its great when they can actually write the names so proud of J. Any way about 230 L is so tried so you can imagine when you have told a child they can stay up how they react to being told they are now going to bed a very big tantrum in the end after the kicking and screaming I picked her up cuddeled her told her I loved her still crying but not aggressive behaviour and pulled a funny sad face which made her laugh and of to sleep she went well better tidy up now and make the most of it she definitely still needs her sleeps everyday.

My six year old has just had her trainning wheels off but isnt to keen on having a go when we take to the oval she will.
