Milestones

We've made some progress this week. 

Firstly, Alice has been out of night nappies for a week now and so far so good.  I wanted to wait until she would definitely not wake me up in the middle of the night if she needed to go and touch wood...we've made it. There was a bit of confusion on Night 2, when she appeared at 5am having had "an accident in her bed" because she thought that Big Girls didn't wee in the night, rather than didn't wee in their bed in the night.  So she had been desperately holding it in, poor thing, rather than availing herself of her rather handy ensuite.  Now that has been cleared up (literally and in Alice's little head), things seem good.  Touch wood.

Secondly, Alice and I were bickering about something or other yesterday morning when we were derailed in our tracks by the sight of Juliet standing up against the bed, beaming from ear to ear.  We ceased our squabbles and applauded her, at which point Littlest joined in and fell over.

Now standing up is her favourite thing - she'll pull herself up on anything and anyone and this evening started cruising along an activity table.  There'll be no knee walking with this one, this I swear.  Will try to take a photo tomorrow.
