No more nappies

Two nights ago when it was time for Charli to go to bed we had a little problem. There were no night nappies to be found. I really didn't want to run down to the shop and so I asked her if she wanted to be a really big girl and not wear a nappy to bed. She felt that that would be fine so off to bed she went. She woke up at about 10 PM and went to the toilet and woke in the morning nice and dry and feeling VERY VERY proud of herself.

I was too.

That day while I was at the shop I saw the nappies and thought I should buy some. But decided NO we had gone ahead we had to keep going. IT is always harder for me to give things up than the kids. Especially the nappies for some reason.

Again she went to bed and woke up nice and dry.

She even had a few hours sleep during the day and didn't wet. She is ready.

But I don't know if I am. I felt a bit sad thinking I will never buy a packet of nappies again. My wallet and budget will not be sad however. I have been doing nappies for nearly twelve years now and feel sad that my baby days really are over.
I know I will change a nappy now and then but never again for one of my children and I feel really sad about that. In thought that is not deed. I don't mind not having to change the nappies but it is the stage that I will miss. My Charli is three now and Bailey turns 12 in a few months. We are definitely in the home stretch.

I have plenty of other stages to look forward too. I laugh now thinking that I feel sad the nappy stage is over. When I was changing two sets of nappies a day I was in nappy hell and yet now I feel sad. LOL.

Now I am going to make a little book out of this and put all this info down so when I am old and decrepit my grandkids can read this and see that I had some form of a life when I was younger. LOL.

Time is going too fast.

Baileys psoriasis is coming along nicely. The light treatment has really worked. It has 95 percent disappeared and now just needs new skin to grow over it. The twice weekly visit to the hospital have been a pain but do able and it is good to see the improvement in Bay. This is the machine that he stands in and delivers the UV treatment. He is becoming a pre teen now. And drives us crazy most of the time. I have been dedicating lots of prayer to him of late, lots and lots and lots.

The cousins visit was successful. Our Children loved playing with them all. I enjoyed seeing them too. They are lovely children. We had seven children in the house at one stage but they were so quite and engrossed in each other that it didn't seem like we had any more than usual.


Work has been settling down. The renovations are finished and we spent all day Wednesday rearranging and organising things. Now we actually have the dishes in the kitchen. Which is a novel idea. LOL. We have moved things into designated areas. Lounge room with all the music, Dvd's and books. Dining room nicely set up. Activities area with all the games on display so that they can pick what they want to do.

I went to a conference on Thursday on Dementia and creating quality programs for them. I don't feel like I learnt a lot. But the lunch was great.

Ok gotta go find green woolen tights for Cait, long grey trousers that fit for Mooey and Bay. Take Mooey to his footy game. Do the groceries. And clean this dump of a house up.
