Thirteen Things Happening in Our Household This Week

1) Fat feet - I've gone to get Riley's feet measured now he's walking and it is as I suspected. He has fat feet, which explains why none of his 'regular' shoes fit. $50 later and he has a pair that fits at least. And a hole in mum's pocket. 2) Dressing challenges - Keira has decided she no longer likes jeans. Only DRESSES and SKIRTS that have to be PINK. 3) Finished Po Bronson's Why Do I Love These People? Good, although it sags a bit at the end. I will watch out for his other books though. 4) Gave up on Anne Tyler's Back When We Were Grownups. Sorry, you didn't suck me in this time, Anne. Although you are fabulous. 5) Re-Borrowed Stephanie Dowricks' Choosing Happiness . I really get a lot out of it, even if it's 'self-help'. Maybe because that's why! 6) I'm reading lots of online reviews of The Time Traveller's Wife, which came out almost two years ago (given to me by a friend). I really enjoyed it, for the record. 7) What do you get at 30 year old for his b'day? Especially when he's your husband?? 8) Eating - Riley has again decided he will eat this week. Hurrah! 9) Rain! - It rained finally last night! 10) Saving Babies - A new show on TV, about (mostly) premature and sick babies in a Sydney Hospital. Weepy stuff. Except it scares Keira, so I'm not allowed to watch it 11) The Biggest Loser - I love big, bulky, hulky Damian. Go Damian! 12) It's a long weekend in this state this weekend, so I'm looking forward to that...if only too.. 13)...maybe give control crying a go again. But Riley has been slightly better this week anyhow, so we'll see....
