An eye for an eye, and ...

A tooth! A tooth! Clearly visible and razor-sharp. Sorry, but photographing a baby's tooth is like trying to bath a cat, so you'll just have to believe me.
And just to confound us, after nights of behaving like an unsettled newborn, last night she went straight down and slept 11 hours without so much as a whimper.

Rachel, it's great to read your stories. Only just read the Jan one with the eczema. Have you considered it could be a food reaction? Both David and Sonya have (had) ezcema from dairy products. David has now finally outgrown it, although we still haven't tried actual milk but he is fine now with yoghurt and cheese. Sonya gets soya products and is doing well on those. It is very common for kids to get a (skin) reaction to dairy and the majority outgrows it. It is quite easy to 'test', take out the dairy (yours too if you're still feeding her) for about two weeks and see if the ezcema clears up. Email or call me if you want to know more.
take care, love, Marion

Thanks Marion, the cow's milk element of the supplementary formula bottle she gets is certainly the main suspect - tho the reaction is rather late if that's the case. I won't be introducing any dairy products during weaning, and have also switched to a super ecological non-perfumed laundry liquid. Eczema is under control, but she's still scratching when given the chance, poor mite.

Close encounters of the furred kind

Pardon my post-natal brain, but it's only just occurred to me that I could post MOVING images of Katy here. This thought struck me only a month after it also occurred to me I could make little videos in the first place using my trusty phone. Sigh ... and I have to start work again in June, how ever will I persuade people I can still think straight? This mini-epic features Katy playing with what used to be a cat toy - formerly property of Tsi-Tsa - who doesn't seem to quite agree with this redistribution of wealth!

Full marks to Katy's new class teacher, who has taught them 2 new things in her first week (Katy used to complain that they only taught her things she already knew). The first was metaphor - which has to be the most important thing, in my book (and who knows, in a few years time it may be the most important thing in my actual book :-)). The other was a 'fact or opinion' game, which we have just been playing in the kitchen. You put up a 'fact' sign on one wall, and an 'opinion' sign on the opposite wall. You then read out a series of statements, and the children have to go and stand in front of the sign which they think is right for the statement. I could be wrong, but this looks suspiciously like they are being taught to think critically for themselves! Just a pity that the spelling needs a bit more work.
