Catch up...

Everything is normal now. Mark is back at work and Kayne started nursery (again) yesterday. So far it's good, but then it's only day 2 and everything is fun. I've asked for a meeting after they have done thier assesments of the kids. I just wanna be on top of everything, i do not want a repeat of Winchcombe. It stresses me to think that they have no idea what he can do and he could so easily slip under thier radar.
I have booked his pre-school booster - i'm not looking forward to that! Also an eye-test for him as he almost always refuses to sit on the sofa to watch t.v; prefering to stand right in front of it or sit on the floor closer to it.
We go on a short break on friday til monday and then on the 12th to the 16th. Then it's Kayne's birthday on the Monday! OMG he's gonna be 4.
Mark's foot is de-bandaged and he is allowed to walk on it in a fashion.

Doctors with Lani

Took Lani to the doctors on Thursday. We got a referral for her eyes...just need to make an appointment. And we got cream for her eczema patches, we have to put it on twice a day atleast, except we have done it for one day and the patches are redder than before.

Also we got a letter to take Kayne for his Hib booster - Yikes! Not relishing this idea....

New home - new happiness

Well we have been in our new flat for a month and a half. We have finally got Sky+ and Broadband. Which is great! It's a bit wierd being with out it for so long, you realise how much it becomes part of your life and how easy it makes your life.
I'm having to buy things to stimulate Kayne again, i'm thinking that Nursery is just on doing it for him anymore. I get the 'i don't want to go to school anymore' every morning which upsets me as i know it's because he is probably bored. I need him to go because i can't cope with him all day at the moment. He's been doing a book called 'Venn Perplexors' which he seems to be going through quicker than i thought he would. I said to dad about it and he raised his eyebrows - so i assume that has chalked up his opinion of Kaynes 'abilities'? I must find some more things for Kayne he has been able to do the 49 piece puzzles with a little help so i should start scouting now for the next stage!
Lani now has 5 teeth and is good at going to sleep finally, she has a bottle and then goes to sleep in the buggy and then later we move her to the travel cot in which she now sleeps. She also has naps now! most days. She had her MMR and didn't give them any more blood.

Good Update!

I'm really happy, I'm really shocked, and bewildered. We are moving! I feel a little aprehensive as if they are playing a joke on us. I can't believe that we will have our own place again for Christmas. I can decorate and stuff. Lani will have her first birthday in her own home. For some reason i want to cry, I can't work out why i feel sad. We have been waiting for nearly a year and moving to the ground floor is only going to bring good things - friends can come over etc, but i feel a bit meh... Maybe its the stress lifting, and revealing how i truly feel; tired and worn out.
We are going to see the new place on Wednesday, and then i am guessing that we get the keys on Friday and then hand our keys in on Monday. We have to clean the carpet but that will be easy (won't it?).
The weekend will be busy, and i need to get a few things. Like Mum's birthday pressie, Barts birthday+Sinterklass pressie. I want to get Mark's parents a christmas/thankyou pressie for putting up with us.
Maybe i will be able to get back to studying dutch which i am annoy that i haven't been doing recently.
I didn't mention last time that Lani is now letting go of things and standing for 20/30 seconds, she walks well holding two hands and quite well with one hand. She will be walking soon i think, well soon-ish. We have booked her booster injections they are in a couple of weeks.

An Introduction

a little more about me:

I'm 22, i have 2 children and a Fiancee that i adore. My Little 'uns are Kayne who is 2 years and 9 months and Iolani who is 2 months. My partner is Mark and we've been together nearly 6 years!

Kayne is an amazing little boy. He does not fit any of the toddler sterotypes at all. He's only had 4 or 5 proper tantrums in his life, which more often than not, are because i didn't understand him rather than he couldn't get his own way. I don't believe that there is such a thing as the 'terrible twos'. His language and vocabulary is incredible, he has well over 400 words at his disposal (which i'm sure is to do with the fact we used baby signs). He can count freely to 12 forwards and back, and higher if promted. His imagination is incredible, i've listened to him 'painting' pictures led in bed at night, 'get some blue paint the sky, get green for grass'.
Kayne is also very quiet, he is wary of loud children and strangers, this is a part of his personality that i'm trying to help him with by sending him to nursery. Although i was wary of sending him too early (he was just over 2 when he started) i realised it was for his benefit.

Iolani (Lani), is gorgeous. She held her head from birth and is trying to sit herself up from a reclined position. She bats at toys now and is very 'chatty'. She has an absolutely b-e-a-utiful smile! We struggled so much with her when she was first born. She was being sick (projectile 2-3 feet), wouldn't lay down, feed every hour, never slept more than an hour at the most, would only sleep on me, had awful wind, green liquid poo, a rash on her face after eating, really watery/gunky eyes bloated tummy. We changed bottles and then milk, which helped somewhat, then we tryied Colief in a low lactose milk and then we worked out that her milk was basically lactose free. so we tried SMA Lactose Free (generally you should only do this on the recommendation of your GP or HV. But ours gave us no help as she was gaining weight). The improvement in her is immense: all her 'symptoms' have gone. Took her to a different GP who agreed to perscribe the milk (£5 for 450g, which lasts about 2-3days). Although after her injections she got watery eyes again (since found out that the Meninngitous C has lactose in it), and they are still watery one week on. so I'm a little worried that she's actually allergic to milk and not Lactose Intolerant, but we shall see.

Hmm. i guess i should write something about me. Well as i said i'm 22. I had Kayne at 19 and Iolani at 21. I've got 2 A-levels, and 1 As. I did the first part of a OU Degree but i decided that the subject (English Literature) wasn't something i want to study, i enjoy reading books and things, but i don't want to study it. I think i'm going to do something to do with child development. I won't be starting until Lani is atleast one and we have enough money, and i've learnt to drive! I don't fit any of the current 'teenage mother' stereotypes. Although i'm not sure i still am a teenager mother as i'm 22, i was when Kayne was born. I could get on a soap box about stereotypes but won't right now, i'll wait until i've been stared at numerous times in the street and give a really good post, hehe...

Love Tasha
