June 2002 Update

Welcome to the latest update of the Chloe & Shannon Story.

The girls are now 3 years and 7 months old, and are becoming right little madams lol.

Shannon is a little behind Chloe in weight and build, this is because she is a fabby and lazy eater, dinner times take a long time when Shannon decides she is bored with eating and then plays with her food, although this doesn't happen all the time, occasionaly she will surprise us and eat all her food without messy about.

Chloe on the other hand cannot get enough of food, whatever we put in front of her she eats up, but she doesn't have the table manners of Shannon.

We have had a hectic last few months, we finally sold our house and moved to a larger house in Goole, then two days later we went on holiday to Majorca (Cala E'gos - Hotel Skorpios), then back home to unpack and sort out the garden and all that jazz, both Chloe and Shannon love the fact that they now have a swing and grass and not a back concrete yard.

Before the holiday we had a scare with Shannon, she was walking down the stairs and slipped on the fourth to last step from the bottom, she fell down and banged her back and head on the last step, as she was crying on me she put her head backwards, (later she said she knew she did this), and collapsed onto the floor, Nana brought her round and Emma called paramedics out (who arrived in 5 minutes!), after the hospital visit Shannon was fine but shaken up, the sad aspect was that Emma's dad decided to blame me and said that he had always thought I was a bad father - needless to say my views of him are now frosty to say the least.

After 3.7 years Chloe has now become fully toilet trained - it has took her a long time to be confident enough to have a stool in the toilet or potty, now we are going to try to get them dry through the night, we have tried last night for the 1st time but Chloe did a wee at around 10pm and wanted a nappy on, but Shannon had no nappy on all night and only did a small wee during the night, by the looks of her potty in the room Shannon had been using it and getting back into bed.

Okay another update soon as and when I have the time, also the hit counter and stat counter on the homepage will hopefully be updated soon, as both companies have since gone bust.
