Hot day

What a great start to the day - I woke at 6am and did not remember anything about the night! I assume that meant that I did not wake up all night. This happened a couple of days ago as well - the night before our few difficult days. And now again last night. Those were my first unbroken nights of sleep since I was about six months pregnant. I still feel tired though. Backlog,

Today we went to Coburg Lake Reserve. It's just lovely. Lush green grass (that won't last long I suppose), shady trees, lots of space, and a creeky lake thing to admire with ducks up the other end. The lot of picnickers nearest us happened to include Thomas and his parents. Thomas is in our swimming class. We chatted with his mum. Turns out that they have been doing baby-led weaning, plus she knows Kirsteen, who does underwater hockey with Trudi. We've only known them for nine months!

At home the girls have their nappies off most of the time cos it's warm. Hazel is enjoying weeing everywhere. She totally knows what she is doing. It is fun! We are hoping this is a phase in which she learns about how cool weeing is, and eventually she will be over it and will wee in the potty.

And I bought a little toilet seat for them! It's soft and has pictures of Sesame Street characters on it. Hazel gnawed it so it has a little hole already. No more gnawing the toilet seat. She also popped it on her head and wore it like a hat. She does this crazy scrunched-up-face giggle when she is being funny.
