Caz its too early to have Charlie tested I don't think they are interested until around school age, maybe 3yrs at earliest. have a google for symptoms I bet he's fine!
He just sounds like an energetic boy to me

What if I can hazard a good guess where it came from but I don't know for sure? It's something you can get anywhere but I think this one was bought from Asda.

My mum always says just try a shop which sells that item and say you don't have a receipt because it was a gift. If they can resell it and you are just asking for an exchange (or vouchers) then they're generally happy to do it and you can always try a different shop if you're not successful at the first.

I don't know if it's WTP specifically or just the thought of having a particular "range/series" of things.. I much prefer the cartoon dog thing we seem to have going on - most of it purely by accident! Rhys is currently wearing a sleepsuit with blue dogs on (any ideas, Sami? ) and we have a really cute one from Next in that 31-things-for-£4 bundle I got which has two dogs labelled as "Sid" and "Dave" on it!



Hmm, I'm turning into one of "those" mum's too.. OH has banned me from buying jeans until Rhys is six months (so in 0-3 clothes then! :rolleyes:), but we've got lots of funky tshirts, hoodies and cargo/boarder pants - that OH doesn't know about yet

aww our boys are twinnies Chris has the sid n dave sleep suit too (but its too small now )
Ed is currently wearing a white suit covered in blues sketched patch's 9one of the pups in 101 dalmations) yey for blue and doggies!

As an aside, what has been everyone's favourite new baby gift?

And least favourite if you want to confess it!

Least favourite was small clothes - especially newborn when she was a month old and too big for them already. Next voucher wasn't very good - we have ended up buying clothes for when Alice is 5-7 with it as it was all we could find that we liked and we were worried about the voucher expiring.

Best was probably toys/books and vests/babygrows in larger sizes. Clothes in larger sizes were good too but not always to my taste. One of OH's school friends sent the Hungry Caterpillar - that was probably his favourite.

Best gift was my Mam giving me a family shawl that's brought various babies home from hospital including me. It's now brought Joshua, James and Charlotte home! She also saved a gorgeous tiny white dress that was mine and gave it to me when Charlotte was born. James did his First Holy Communion when she was a month old, so she wore it for the church service and we got lots of nice comments about it.

Worst was some babygro's that ex-MIL bought when Joshua was born. They were bonny with a printed pictures on the front, but the poppers were at the back and instead of the funny bit where all the poppers meet between the legs, that bit was just above his bottom at the back. It was a right struggle putting a tiny baby in something that has poppers up the back, and then he wouldn't settle and I'm sure it was because he had a lump of fabric and poppers wedged in his lower back.

Someone has taken Charlotte's competition link and posted it on a rival Newcastle board. They've added horrid comments about her on there. I can't understand why people would attack a toddler like that.

Ds1 was always an energetic/lively boy. People used to ask me if there was 'something else' I didn't agree, and lo and behold now he is older he has calmed down(a bit:D)
