Dream pram a year 2 late

I found my dream pram. It ticks every box, bassinet for newborn, reversible handles, seat inclines right up and it's a jogger - the sun hood is great. Unfortunately the best deal I can get is $1000. These days G is lucky to go in the pram twice a week as she is at daycare four days and I tend to just carry her on my hip for outings, more often than not. And next baby won't be for at least another 18mths. Such a shame I'm not rich as I would love this pram,but use vs $$ it is just not worth it for us now- the icandy peach jogger.

Sugar rush

This is what happens when you feed your 13mth old yoghurt buttons, when you have previously never given them treats their entire life:

. Give baby one yoghurt button while driving in the car, baby likes it
. Give baby a couple more than say no more left
. Baby smiles sweetly and says ta ta
.you give them one more button because the asked so nicely and are adorable
. Baby gobbles it and says ta ta
. You say no more baby, baby screws up faces and starts whinging loudly
. . You say oh my god, and fill up a cup of yoghurt buttons and say that's it baby
. Baby gobbles them down like a crazed junkie and whinges loudly again
. Repeat last two steps until packet is empty

NO MORE YOGHURT BUTTONS EVER! I feel like I have post traumatic stress from that experience. Picture is of baby desperately looking for more yoghurt buttons.

Tar'jay

The 'fancy' name for Target lol. I don't get to Target very often these days, so have managed to avoid it for awhile when I was on my budget blitz (wait...I'm still on it!). But then I popped in to have a look at their new kids range and I really really wanted the leopard print and polka dot jeans for G. Like really, really. Then today I got an email saying that they had 20% off kids stuff. I would of usually held out for 30% off, but to be honest I am tired of having to 'chase' bargains. So I went online and bought four jeans in bigger sizes and two tops and the cutest jumper for G -$85 and I did online lay bye to pick up in store, only 10% deposit. Since its all Winter and bigger size stuff I was in no hurry for it anyway!

Best and Less!

I used to be a very big connoisseur of Best and Less - that place is awesome for kids clothes!  However when we moved interstate, the closest Best and Less is way out of my way - obviously not as loved here as the last place I lived.  Made a special trip out to B&L and picked up a skirt, a dress a minnie mouse tshirt - all reduced to $5 each.  Also got two bond singlets that were in a pack for $10, I mistakenly thought they were onsies - but I guess I better start adapting to not being able to dress my baby in a onsie forever!  I also bought a huge amount of hair clips, since they have all gone awol. SO flippen cute!

Where do all the hair clips go?

I am really baffled about where all G's hair clips are. I always monitor her when we are out to make sure we don't lose any. I assumed they most of all been in the car somewhere (missing at least ten clips), but no lick. Next stop is to go through my handbags, maybe i popped them when she pulled them off while out. Not happy as some of those clips were so pretty! Compensated by getting online at Seed and buying two more sets of hair clips and a pair of adorable shoes. Came to $51 - shoes in next size up since she has a few shoes currently and does not wear shoes that often!

Sitting at the big girl table

G loves sitting on her plastic chair, and at daycare they sit them at the table to eat. So I thought it was time to get her own table and chairs. Found the perfect set at Kmart, $15 for the table and $5 a chair. It's great for washing off food and colouring in markers ;-). No point buying expensive things to be wrecked by a toddler! Love Kmart so much. Here is my baby who refuses to have day naps, since she has started at daycare a month ago they haven't been able to get her to have one :-s.

Those play centre thingies at shopping centres

I had not really paid much attention to those 'play centre thingies at shopping centres'. I remember walking past them and hearing kids screaming like they were having the times of their lives. M mm coaxed me to one with G. G loved it, she was in the 'baby area' that had a jumping castle, ball pit, lots of toys etc. basically you pay under $10 for entry (which at this place included a free drink) and you both put socks on and away you play. Since we don't do Gymbaroo anymore due to ack of time, I am thinking this is a good place to go on special occasions when the weather it crap to go to the park.
