Finally..Finally..FINALLY


You're probably looking at the above picture thinking "Is that a nappy in a picture frame?"
Yes. That is exactly what it is. A nappy in  a picture frame. Why? Because it is THE LAST NAPPY EVER  in our house....that's right - EVER!!!!! 
For 7 years now, I have been changing nappies. Actually, it will be exactly 7 years on the 2nd of February, when Mackenzie was born. And all through that time, I knew, that one day in the distant future, the blessed day would come when I would never have to change a nappy EVER AGAIN. Well, that blessed, wonderful day has finally arrived!!!! Phoebe has graduated to undies- real life, honest-to-goodness, fabric-with-elastic undies, and takes herself off to the kids bathroom to do whatever she has to do.  With no help from me!!!! FINALLY my ultimate, best thing ever Dream has come true. So I took the last nappy in the packet and framed it, so that it would forever remind me of the pure joy and happiness I felt at this time in my life....

And here is our "Nappy-Free-Undies-Only" BIG Girl, Phoebe...with one very HAPPY Mummy!



Phoebe has been spending a lot of time with Donna - the VERY large doll sitting on her lap in this picture. Donna was my doll when I was 3, and is now the same age as Adan (thats all I will say). Please note also the very bling-bling, sparkly, bedazzler dress Febes is wearing - one of her favs out of big sister's wardrobe. She often turns up at the dining table for dinner in this number, making the rest of us feel so entirely under-dressed.....
