Yep, was most fed up as I'd just got myself dressed for the day and by that point only had 2 pairs of trousers that fitted and the other pair were in the washing machine!

Has anyone ever received anything from Toluna? I am never ever in their target group and I'm feeling very left out! :rotfl:.

Suagr - was thinking of something like that! Whats the best paint to use?

Tesco do lovely non toxic pearlecent paint that I used for printing prezzies, I think the pearlness makes it a bit classy :cool::D

Rhythmical children really notice when something is not as it usually is, and when DH wore contacts instead of specs once, fergie kept reaching out and patting DH's eyelids where the specs usually are.

Does any of this help at all!?

ETA: forgot the most important thing THANK YOU! xx
hmm your 1st post made me think all was fine but I do think from this post that Chris is not like me in the routine rhythm respect!
he is obsessed with people wearing glasses - not sure if it is because I wear them and he doesn't get why grandparents only wear 'readers' occasionally
I think he's maybe ok because he is very good with communication and can let me know when he wants things and seams to understand when I explain things (see his attempt to trick me into going to tesco the other day )
Why were/are you up past your bedtime??

Does anyone think there's any truth in the theory (dunno who's theory exactly, I heard it from a friend) that babies born in the evening sleep better at night and babies born in the morning sleep during the day but not at night - sleeping straight after birth due to getting over the shock of it all..

Rhys was born at 8am and sleeps in in the morning (well, used to!) and doesn't sleep at night, whereas my friend's baby was born at 5pm and has always been a good sleeper at night

Nope I think it's balls
Chris born at 12.57pm after 6hrs labour never had any major sleep issues
Edgar Born 6.13am after 6hrs almost identical labour sleeps even better :A
My sister was born during the day and was a nightmare but she was also a 'traumatic' birth and had reflux but I was a dream baby according to mum, I was born at 22:22 (I do wonder if maybe I wasn't such a dream but compared to evil screaming 24/7 baby that was my sis I seamed fab)

SB you must be closer to me than I thought! I used to work in skem and often went to ormskirk for lunch time shopping

I just had a thought......maybe the laid back ones were already laid back in the womb, and just cba being born, so waited til someone came and lifted them out!

I second this theory (only mine were pushed!).

Elle - don't forget you all had a very stressful time before, during and after his birth.

My other theory is that the mum's stress levels during pregnancy has a bearing on baby - this is my own observations from mat leave - a stressy mum went on to have a stressy baby.

Whereas I just got on with things, maybe because I didn't believe I was pg - my hind waters broke because I was trying to put my own socks on at 40+1! (I managed it as well)

on the stressy mum/stressy baby I find amongst my RL mum friends that stressy mums don't necessarily have stressy babies but the mums perceive them to be that way IYKWIM?

Sami_Bee

oh btw my day; comp crashed after lunch and I got annoyed with it so didn't come back Chris pooped in his undies :eek: was solid thank god!! so I managed to get his pants off and tip it into the loo without having to come into contact with it. He got 10 stickers today though was going really well until he took the pee (literally) at my parents(he was seeing if g'ma would do her usual spoiling of him but underestimated his mummy ) anyhoo he eventually did potty&loo wees there and had much giggles when Aunty J asked if she could have a sticker for weeing on the toilet too :rotfl:
