Mobile phone mania, no more cot and post paediatrician feedback.
Well, the mobile phones were a hit! Imogen and Madeline have been begging, pleading and planning for a mobile forever. We kept saying no. Too young, not responsible enough, won’t use it for the right reasons… etc so when their birthday rocked around a phone wasn’t even on the list this year. When they opened their parcel from David and I they were VERY surprised.
Actually, it was my friend Mary who talked me into it. She presented to me the way her boys used theirs. It sounded sensible and in the end (and a few late pick ups, with girls in tears) we decided we would.
Today (three days post phone) I am sick of the unrelenting ring tones and the bleep bleep of the texting. The girls are pleased as punch though and the ‘mobys’ have been a constant accessory around their necks. It IS kind of nice to see them enjoying their gifts. I just need a good set of ear plugs for the school holidays, I think…they tell me wax is good.
Tomorrow we are partying with 15 children (plus ours). Lordy me!
It was going to be a pamper party but our host was flooded out of her home and her materials waterlogged during last weekends storms. So now we are going to the movies to see Bridge to Terabithia. I read the book in year seven and remember balling my eyes out. Years on, I can’t remember the story at all. Afterwards we are going to Pizza Hut for a late lunch.
In preparation for the many pre pubescent girls descending on our house I scrubbed (as you do). I can see the dining table again, post Starstruck sewing and the bathroom is sparkling. David set about securing our kitchen cupboards with child locks and while he had the electric screwdriver in use he also pulled down Noah’s cot (’carcar’ - everything is a car at the moment) and retired it to the half of the garage that wasn’t squashed by the tree. He has done so well in the big boy bed. His only set back was last night when I asked David to check on him in the early hours. David went to Noah’s bed, after manouvering his way around a sleeping dog, to find it empty. After a few moments of half - asleep confusion, he discovered the sleeping dog on the floor was actually his son. At some stage during the night Noah had gotten out of his bed (on his way to us, we presume) but had not quite made it before sleep overcame him. Too cute! We have tucked him in EXTRA tight tonight.
One of the girls’ friends has been out of school all week so she was unaware of our change of party plans. Flooded in, we now know, they are camping out at the local pub. How did we find this out and track down the missing friend? An intricate phone network is in place that I, as a mother, am completely out of touch with. Maddy called someone, who had someone elses number, who knew someone who had the friend’s phone number. So Immy called the someone else’s number. She didn’t have the someone’s number, who had the friend’s number but she knew somebody else who knew that someone’s number and so Immy called her. When there was no response she sent a text to the somebody else. A few hours later that somebody phoned Immy and told her that the friend was flooded in but she would get a message to her to call Immy… confused? Not as much as I, dear readers! The mind boggles.
I thought I would tell you about our paed appointment.
It went…better than expected. Noah was good. Had made a great recovery from his cold and asthma attack. his weight was great and his development definately to his adjusted age (15.5 months), if not better. The paed was happy with him. He apologised for being away during the Tregenza sicky season and reassured us that he was going to have some urgent appointments available from July. All good news to my ears. Then he saw Ivy, with her goopy ear and her goopy nose and her lack lustre prescence. He conceded she was very ill and we talked about the different things we might try. For now we are going to address her ears and nose with a stronger antibiotic, stay with the hydrogen peroxide, give her flixotide for her asthma/chest and he will see us in two weeks. He also sent us for a chest xray, which showed fluid build up on one side. We are yet to confirm but believe she has pneumonia.
Today she is sick and cranky. The antibiotics have given her the runs and she is off her food but her nose was running clear for a large part of the day and her cough doesn’t seem as wet. Fingers crossed that this will do the trick.

People tend to link Louis Vuitton with haute couture, luxury bags and superstars today. Actually, Louis Vuitton started its business by making luggage and even today TRAVEL is still the core value of this luxury brand. In April, 2008, Louis Vuitton invited the guitarist of the Rolling Stones Keith Richards to perform its ad, telling a single journey of self-exploration. In the ad, Keith Richards sit on the bed with the guitar in his arm; a cup of coffee and a lied-open book are on his Louis Vuitton luggag.in the dim room lightened by a desk lamp covered with a black scarf with skull pattern, and the pattern can also seen on a knickknack on the desk. It is the manner after vicissitudes suffering of Keith that well matches the theme, for both are about travel—the core value of Louis Vuitton brand.155 years ago, when Louis Vuitton set his first leather goods store in Pairs, flat covered suitcase is the majority, which became the prior traveling accessory of the upper-class before long. And 155 years later, Louis Vuitton has already become the fashion leader in the kingdom of luggage, yet still view TRAVEL as its core value. Keith Richards is not as stylish and handsome as the fashion insider, yet as Antoine Arnault in Louis Vuitton said, “He is s world idol inspiring millions of musical fans—the reason we invite and respect him”. If only you have enough life experience and money, you can begin a single journey of self-exploration with a Louis Vuitton luggage. More importantly, this expensive legend luggage not only stands for your fortune and status, but also witnesses your life journey. As Louis Vuitton sees it, it is spiritual and emotional travel makes each person.
This is the debut of Keith Richards in the commercial advertisement projects, and it is also a public welfare activity for that he donates his payment to “The Climate Project” proposed by the Nobel Peace Prize winner Al Gore.

With boots cool feeling full, the female elegant lines and tights highlighted the other pants nowhere near.

This can be fine if you don’t care about creating funds together with your blog. .
Otherwise, marketability is incredibly essential. .
