    DS2 was my biggest baby born at 7lb 10oz (4 days late) He's 5 in January, 2st 3lb and his age 3 school clothes ready for next month are a bit big..... He is still wearing some 18-24 month trousers, but has generally not long gone into 2-3year stuff (well, bottom half) I have massive problems with trousers - they need to be pulled right in and even then are loose! He's only just gone into size 9 shoes, too :)

    The house is looking rather good where we have tidied up a lot over the weekend. Still cluttered with toys but the upstairs at least is spotlessly clean and just needs a bit of clean downstairs after my efforts early last week.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
