Hi everyone! Poor Gabby has been sick since Sunday. She started off with a horrible dry cough that sounded like a bark. I suspected she might have croup. She started spiking fevers of over 39° and we medicated her accordingly. I sent her to the day mother on Monday where her fever persisted and I
Dummy Diaries
So…if you follow my blog you would have picked up that we are having problems getting Babyice off the dummy (pacifier). He has clung to that thing like there is no tomorrow. We managed pretty well recently with not giving it to him when he is not going to sleep…well…I have managed very well. Every
Growing up!
So on Friday, not long after I posted my last blog post, I got a call from the day mother saying Babyice’s fever was back, he was ‘pap’ (no energy) and that he was talking ‘deurmekaar’ (not making sense). PANIC STATIONS. I felt even worse for not giving him medication earlier and immediately phoned Rudi
Terrible Twos
Potty training is proving a slow process for us. I’m happy with the progress so far. Babyice got the hang of poo in the potty at the day mother last week, but when he came home it was just poo in the underpants. I was working the weekend and Rudi said he made a poo

The weekend’s potty training went particularly well and Babyice is getting better every day. We had a couple of accidents over the weekend and we still haven’t gotten him to poo in the toilet or potty again, but we have gotten him to a stage where he asks to go to the toilet. He is
I’m okay
I’m still here. I haven’t taken a long walk on a short pier, although it might have sounded like I was about to in my last post. Thank you for all the positive and supportive comments that you left for me. I really appreciate it and it was definitely encouraging. From around Tuesday afternoon I’ve
Unhinged
I was really looking forward to the long weekend. What bliss! Not coming to work for 5 days (I had leave on Thursday)! How amazing. Then it wasn’t. On Thursday I cleaned like a demon. Sorted the house/washing and everything else out. From there things started to unravel slowly. We went to church on
Pee
Winter has not even properly touched down yet and I am already annoyed. The first day of rain we had it started again. Babyice is waking up soaked every morning, Huggies Gold and all. I have no idea what to do anymore. Every morning we have to change his clothes. He seems to sleep through
