The incredible poo monster, the bouncing baby and here comes santa!

The Hammond girls have had a very eventful week. Anna has spent loads of time in her bouncer this week and it definitely induces giggles, she loves it. Lucy has finally pooed on the toilet - only once, but thank god. I knew she could do it. There has been much celebration, even friends of the family have showed their relief and delight. I wasn't at home when it happened, Amy said she was so proud. It the small things!!! Us parents get so excited and obsessed by some seriously strange things. Moving on - Santa is coming and to celebrate Lucy is singing her own song which is a cross between 'Away in a manger' and 'Merry Christmas everybody'. It's a musical master piece and will reinvent all Christmas musical tradition. It is also sung completely out of tune. Lucy is getting very excited about Christmas, she has a better understanding this year and is definitely aware that many presents are coming her way. I on the other hand, am doing my usual 'will work screw up my family Christmas and time with Amy and the girls.' Watch this space......
