    Sorry - I know its not funny, but :rotfl::rotfl:.

    Does he know the feeling of needing a wee?

    I really believe they do toilet/potty when they're ready! I kept thinking I must start gettting Liv to use the potty from when she was just over two....but I kept putting it off, til one morning she said 'mummy can I have big girl knickers on today', and she did, and we only every had a handful of accidents! From memory, she was about 2 1/2.


    Is it a full moon again? All our babies seem to be behaving appallingly ATM!! I can't even remember if I told you that Benjamin had me up 5 times between 12.30am and 6.30am (that means I got out of bed 10 times!!!!!)


    Poor you! :sad:
    Full moon isn't due until 2/11/09 - which luckily is when my big two go back to school! :D

    Did you start your phoning 'more' childminders today?

    Susan - I just found the free cow!!!

    Em - my OH kicks ME when I snore :o

    SM - Lasagne - thats what I;m having!

    GO CHRISTOPHERS

    SPARKLE - I spied you yesterday when I was going to baby clinic! It was the pushchair that gave it away!

    Can I boast that after settling my little angel @ 12.45am he slept through until 6.15am? :D:D:D Fantastic considering he had his bottle @11pm!!!! :j

    been tidying living room today - pulling sofas out and washing the floor! Still got a bit more to do but thought I'd catch up while Jack has a bottle.

    Well despite last night, Caitlyn has been in a fairly good mood today... Although not slept much considering she was up at 6:30... She has been exceptionally dribbly... And has a slightly sore bottom... I think I'll get hubby to pick up some A&P powders on his way home... And administer them by spoon ;) (Although... Do you sterilise medicine spoons? I was so unsure last night, I just gave her a sachet of calpol rather than a spoon... It was 1am and I couldn't decide!)

    Hmm... Now I look at her and her eye has gone all red... And has a terribly runny nose... Maybe it's a random cold affecting nobody in the house...

    Fingers crossed for you Weezl :)

    Oh, potty training... Sami, I would probably take Christopher to the potty and ask him to sit every 20mins or so rather than just ask... Aimee has a terrible habit of just saying no if I ask her, but will go if I take her, or just tell her to go and try... And as far as poopies on the toilet... She was a nightmare!!! She figured out how to hold it to get to the toilet, but couldn't figure out how to get it going again so for months, every other day (thank goodness she didn't go every day!) We would spend all day dashing to the toilet for nothing to happen (and Aimee making 'ooooh ooooh ooooh' noises) until finally she just couldn't hold it in anymore and it would just fall out where she stood... and occasionally in the bath... My daughter has never been easy in the toilet department!!

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I collected DS1, came home and fell asleep with Amber on my chest. My boobs now have drool rash. And DS2 at some point flung his duvet over my legs :D Me very gaga now...

    Well done Jack! Makes such a difference getting uninterrupted sleep doesn't it Glam?

    Alice is like that - if I ask her she'll generally say no even if she needs it but if I just tell her to go and sit on the potty she will.

    oh yes! hence the renewed energy!!

    Living room has been gutted and spring (autumn?!!) cleaned! Gonna do the hallway now, then I might tackle the dining room!

    God, I've not had a proper clean in the living room since we moved in 18 months ago :o Housework is not my forte!

    ?
    He definitely knows he can sit on the potty and force out a bit of wee coz I always tell him to use potty before a bath and 90% of the time he does, sometimes he goes "eee" to push some out .

    I never bother sterilising spoons but then I don't really use them, I have a syringe and don't always bother sterilising it.

    I'm throwing everything into PT now :rotfl:
    IWhile I've been not chatting I've whipped up a sticker chart and agreed that if he gets stickers every day until Sunday I'll buy him Madagascar on dvd :cool: he's trouserless, just got his undies on and I'v sat him on the [potty ever 20 mins and made him sit while we sing, listen/watch things on ipod.
    There's a full tumbler of juice due out any min now though and he keeps saying "no I don't need to" when I say go on the potty so I'm off to enforce now :wave:
