Dear Nico - 20 months

Dear Nico


There is not much new to tell you this month. Life is just trudging along and you are following your usual up and down pattern. Actually, you were following an almost predictable one for a few weeks; good night, bad night, good night, bad night.


I am trying to find suitable care for you for when I start working longer hours on a Monday. I didn't realise it would be so hard. The idea of you going to childcare doesn't fit with me so I am going to try and get someone at home. It's about $36/ hour from a care agency though and Windermere In Home care, the only place with affordable rates ($15) has no carers available. In Spring or Summer I would be les reluctant to send you to Brooklyn's daycare as there are less viruses then.. hopefully. I still worry that you are too demanding for them to deal with and that would not be fair to you or the centre. The great thing to come of my longer shift on Monday is that I will now have Saturdays with the family. I can not wait.


Tiffany from Bialla brought around a standing frame for you last week but we haven't used it much as you have been too grupy. I am sure you will like it when you get the gist though. We also still have the switch toy I talked about here  which has been great. I am not sure I will be able to talk them into another week though


In a Monkey standing frame

We have to get you a passport photo this week... I am not looking forward to it. There are so many rules and they are strict. It took 3 attempts to get them to accept one of Brooklyn at 6 weeks old and she was much more cooperative than you.

You have to:
have your shoulders square
look at the camera, dead on
not smile or frown
not have me visably holding your head
not appear to be lying down
have a plain background free from wrinkles or shadows
have both ears in the picture

Good luck with that. We really really want to see your Nana and Grandad though so if you could oblige.. I would appreciate it greatly, okay?

Love you much
Mama
