    Googling has not been fruitful, as all the manufacturers seem to give a height and a weight rather than a size! Becles/susan have you got anything handy from when charlotte or alice were that size? Fergie's going to a birthday party and I'm making his friend charlotte a skirt :)
    Sorry - I've always had Alice in dresses rather than skirts because they fit easier.

    Thank you. :) Yes, and his little sister copies him because she doesn't realise. The eldest also struggles to understand adults feelings and boundaries, and is getting some help with this at the moment.

    The more I think about it, the more I wonder if I bit off more than most people could cope with in my situation! :)
    Quite likely (in the nicest possible way) I would have to think twice before agreeing to watch a friends child if it was in the day and therefore I had my 2 aswell, when we have one of Chris's friends round its usually chaos and that's when their mum is here too!:rotfl:

    I think that's a fairly common problem for families with special needs children as the younger ones don't understand that it isn't normal/acceptable behaviour.

    When I worked on a special needs play scheme we had a ratio of 1 adult per 3 children max and I always found it hard work without having a baby of my own with me too. (And these were the ones considered "easy" enough for summer casuals to work with them on that ratio - the harder ones were elswhere with social workers on a 1 or more:1 ratio.)

    Has anyone ever heard of cranberries or blueberries or from concentrate juice causing problems when passed through breast milk?

    Different things affect different people I think Sami. OJ tends to pass into your milk, as does grapes to my knowledge so it is reasonably likely that blueberries and cranberries might too.

    My name is 3 and i'm a obsessive compulsive ironer! :rotfl:


    Beautiful little girl! :D (And another one with a gorgeous head of hair - are MFD and I the only one to have baldy babies :confused:)


    Well, my little princess is still fast asleep - from 8pm! :T I'm desperately waiting for her to wake up to feed. My boobies are ready to explode :eek:(although they do look quite good in a Pammy type way).

    A nice lazy day for us today - the first day of the holidays where we don't have to get up and do something, so the bigger two can slob about all day if they wish - while I catch up on the ironing. :D

    HEY!!! Benjamin is not bald - he is just VERY blonde :D


    I think we are showing our age when we call em pammy boobies - the young 'uns don't know who we are talking about...these days I guess they would be Jordan Baps or something :confused:

    Shall I bring my ironing up?


    Weezl - would you be offended if I said those kids sound like horrible brats who have no respect for anybody or anything :o

    Anyone want to do my ironing? No? *sigh* didn't think so...

    I think I have picked up the iron maybe twice since meeting DH... if I need anything ironing I'll go as far as to hand it to him! ;)

  • Yay Baby MacSmiler :T:T

    Sounds like she had cracked it :D


    Having said that, after weeks of 7 or 8pm til 6 or 7am (ish - after a while you don't need to remember the times any more :o) Benjamin woke me at 3.30am this morning by........wait for it......



    ......laughing his head off :confused:
    :rotfl:

    I went him and tried to settle him but he was convinced it was playtime!! After about 20 mins I gave him a quick feed (but didn't bring him into bed) and put him back down and he stopped chatting at about 4.15am :rolleyes:

    What a bizarre little boy I have :D
