    That's good news bailey. It'll be a big help for you having him around on an evening and hopefully you'll not feel as tired as when you have to do it all by yourself.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Congratulations Mr Bailey :-)
    Comping, freebieing and trying to pay the mortgage off early!
  • Thanks everyone, its a nice feeling to be thinking at 3pm only a couple more hours to go. However, even though I now have Jack and Molly trained into the bedtime routine and what happens when (the dealing with it on my own routine), i've a feeling things won't run so smoothly with Daddy home every night. Well at least for a few weeks until the novelty wears off for us all and the week nights stop feeling like the chaotic weekend nights. IYKWIM?

    Speaking of which his highess is out tonight seeing a mate who I refuse to hvae in the house, so i'm home alone and enjoying it. Kids in bed, eating dinner as I type and knowing the jobs are done etc.

    Someone said to me a while back, sometimes it takes longer to get out the door (or get the kids to bed) when your OH is around. Your clockwork routine gets disrupted by the Daddy novelty (who cashes it in) and even if you try to work as a team, it can take nearly twice as long.

    Still its nice to have the company and know we can dump what we are doing and just play in the garden just cos Daddy's home.

    I wish :D Christopher laughs in the face of a poppered vest, a good tug and pop open they go!

    :rotfl:

    For his overnight sleep DS is in a sleeping bag in his cot- he occasionally gets an arm out, but generally doesn't try. For daytime naps he goes to his cot fully dressed, with a blanket.

    I am keeping him in his cot for as long as I can...;)
    The IVF worked;DS born 2006.
  • Sami-B Jack's been out of poppered vests since the summer, with you on that one. And J-other half, Jack been in a bed since Oct when he climbed out his cot. He's a good lad now though, stays in bed from eve till morn, all tha the did last night was from the reach of his bed!!! Bless. My plan had been to keep him in the cot for as long as poss, but he had other ideas. Its worked out ok though, duvet and pillow much comfier than gro-bag.

    Still Molly to go (she's currently sporting Jack's blue grobags!
  • I must log off and go to bed, I'm trawling the families board, typing posts, reading threads but thinking this will be the last one, then click I go back to the main menu and look for something else to grab my interest.

    Bed, bed, bed, bed.......

    Charlotte can get out of her sleeping bag. The zip goes from her chest down to her feet, so I think she's kicking her legs against it to start it moving. The other night I checked on her before we went to bed and she was out of the sleeping bag and had taken her jarma top off too :rolleyes:

    I'm trying to keep her in a cot as long as I can too, but we're going on holiday last week in May, which is a couple of weeks after her second birthday, and we had to book a bed for her as she's over 2. Thinking about getting a bed in April to get her used to it before we go.

    I was putting my son in the cot during the day with just a blanket and one day when he was about 12 months he climbed out. Everyone told me to put him in a bed, but I think this was far too young. I startred putting him in his sleeping bag during the day now too and he hasnt been able to climb out with the bag on (he does try). I buy my sleeping bags from http://www.designerkidsandbaby.co.uk the slumbersac ones with the zip. They are about a meter in length so the zip is down past his feet. I dont think there is any way he could get it undone.

    and I'm a little bit gutted, Chris's "girlfriend" can't come to his party coz she's got Chicken pox :( I'm also annoyed coz if i wasn't preg I'd probably have taken him round to catch it:o
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    Sami Bee is your husband IN the cot?!! How on earth did he manage that!

    Is it dangerous to catch chicken pox - or be exposed to it when pregnant?

    PS Christopher is very cute!
    DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY ;)
