MSE Parents Club Part 6

SugarSpun

I got some from Tesco, I think they were £4.99 for a pack of 8 or 10.

Can't recommend or not as our nursery's still in storage

Tesco have them. We have some from ELC from when DS2 was a bairn. They have stood up well and haven't been destroyed even though he has bitten them. We used them to stand bedroom furniture on to varnish, and although there is now varnish all over them, they are not marked! We now use them to put under paddling pools etc in the garden.

I don't reccomend them for on wood flooring though, very dangerous, lost count of the amount of times someone has slid on them.

On the whole buggy thing... A friend of mine has a son with severe learning difficulties, she currently has a large buggy especially for older children however before she got funding for this she had to use a normal size one even though he was nearing 6... It's easy enough to look and judge someone pushing an older child around if you don't have the full picture...

B00ger - I multiquoted but then my computer helpfully auto-restarted itself after auto-updating itself whilst I was settling the baby for his nap

I don't want my computer to auto-anything itself :mad: especially when my baby brain doesn't work enough to remember what I was going to say.



Krystal - I'm easy for time on Friday, anytime after 11.30am anyway!! You have buses and school commitments to think about so I will let you decide on specifics.

Happy Birthday Elliot - are you coming on Friday?


I post big posts less frequently so I say a lot....but in lumps rather than lots of little posts



We had vegetable fajitas at Booby Club today and that was in addition to tuna & cucumber and cheese and tomato sandwiches and the usual fruit platter :cool:

No banana though so Benjamin was eating pineapple



Benjamin now weighs 17lb 10oz and has moved back up to the 50th centile - all that spanish yoghurt clearly did him some good

Afternoon all,

Thankfully it seems that whatever turned my happy baby girl into a grumpy bum, appears to have passed. I did try to give her calpol lastnight but I think most of it ended up on her face! She wouldnt settle at all so I eventually put her in bed where she talked to herself from midnight until 1:30am!!!! Me and OH just lay there listening to her sweet voice.

We went to a fantastic baby massage group this morning. There were only 4 of us and Leila loved it. Can't wait for next week now.

Just done my Asda online shopping and didnt buy anything unhealthy. I will lose this baby/ice cream/chocolate weight one way or another!!

Oh and thanks for the reassurance about Leila's feeding frenzy. She seems to have calmed down now, however she has upped my supply to the point that I have been leaking all day. Its so sexy being a mum!!! On the plus side, I have been trying to catch it in my breastshells and express the excess for my freezer stash.

xx

i cant stand seeing a child of an age that is completely capable of walking sitting in a pushchair

its my personal opinion of if they can walk then do so

emlou2009 wrote: »

true enough that you never know how far the walk is, and obviously i dont blame them one bit if its a long walk - 2 is quite young to expect them to walk everywhere anyway! its a personal bug bear of mine cos a "friend" of mine (i've mentioned her before, her 3 year old starts school fairly soon and wont talk to anyone except her mum still cos shes sheltered her so much) still shoves her in a buggy all the time, for example to go to the park where she will be running round anyway? and to the corner shop when she can see it from her house!!

i used to live opposite a school, and some of the kids used to get picked up and put in their buggies :eek: and i often see mums wandering round shops with a child in a buggy, sometimes having a full blown conversation with them!

we didnt say anything about kids with disabilities, nor would i ever even think it

Just felt like an inner tickle. Just gotta wait for results now!

Thanks Krystal!

I was going to post similar.
That is the exact reason I asked for the special needs pushchair, was that I was sick of people staring & commenting when he was in the normal buggy at 5+, probably thinking 'look at that lazy Mum with her son in a buggy still'.
As I said, we only ever used it occasionally - when we were going somewhere particularly busy and it wouldn't be safe to have him and DD walking.
People must have wondered why I had my big strapping 5yo in a buggy and was making my 2 yr old walk though! :rotfl:
