I can do a guide for surviving the posh nursery when you aint posh.

1, do not expect anyone to have any manors, holding open a door is not theri job and if you do it, you must be staff.

2, children must be quiet and perfectly dressed at all times, any sign of individuality is frowned upon.

3, hat, scarf, gloves, shoes and coat must always match and be of a dark colour. Girls may have a spritzy bit of glitter but no bright colours.

4, children are expected to play only when appropriate and only if it is educational to do so. Colouring is a good activity, but only in pencil. Crayons, felt tips and pens are frowned upon for the messy potential.

5, children must attend singing, swimming, gymnastics, modern dance (slutty as possible for girls) and a music class each week. Mothers must always join in and demonstrate how they sang a certain note and impressed the tutor when in the waiting area, waiting, of course, till the waiting area is full.

6, if a child is seen displaying inappropriate behaviour (playing outside of structured play activities) the parents must be notified immediately by text, email, phone call and sky writer as well as as many people reminding them as possible.

7, one must never acknowledge ones husband standing with his hands down another childs Mother at any time.

8, of course we are privileged enough to use the car park thats clearly states 'no parking except staff and visitors'. Blindness to yellow lines of any sort or shape should also be cultivated.

9, a strict dress code applies to all Mothers at all times. High heels, white carpri slacks, tight twin set, brown artificial tan, dyed hair, a jaunty hat, belt or bag and full make up. Any non adherence to this dress code will result in immediate shunning.

tia, you make me laugh!

chopsticks - I've just thought of something re: sleep. At that age LO liked to have a nap every 2 hours, pretty much on the button. Then she lengthened out her sleeps to just two a day, morning and after lunch.

However, as your LO sleeps well at night, I wouldn't worry too much about her daytime sleep as this will fluctuate and change lots over the next few months. Be very grateful for your evenings and night time sleep - AF and I are very jealous!

elle - I prescribe (no this isn't medical advice people!) Some proper carb loaded dinners. Please eat a huge bowl of maccaroni cheese for tea (as I did last night). My size 8's are nearly 10's so I know it works

Caitlin is awake now (just went to get her). She slept for 29mins (I timed her ). Like Rose, Caitlin sleeps great at night (7-7). We had a blip last night - -just gone 8pm, I think - when she woke up screaming but I got her back off to sleep and that was it until this morning again.

Unfortunately Caitlin has never been a good daytime sleeper (unless we're on a long journey in the car) but I'd rather her sleep at night than in the day if I had a choice . (She has an older cousin who, from the age of 9 months, didn't sleep at all in the daytime...I don't really want that ).

Right, off to make scrambled eggs for tea for Caitlin. First time she's had scrambled egg, so will be interesting to see what she thinks.

Laters :wave:

My eldest DD didnt have a day time nap from about 9 months onwards too but i always put that down to there only being 17 months between DS and DD and she was so nosey she ws frightened she was missing anything, I hope Rose is not like that. She's had 20mins today, thats all, but is getting ready for bed now.

Rose likes scrambled egg but i think she finds the texture strange. If she doesnt close her mouth quick enough it falls out!
