    that reminds me - the other day I met up with the other 3 mums I see each week, one LO born week before J, others were 2 weeks before.
    Mum of baby 3 says 'I'm glad I know you guys cos I just copy you!'
    Mum of baby 4 'Yeah, me too!'
    Mum of baby 2 'Well, I just copy everything that Glam does'
    Mum of baby 1 (aka ME, Glam, Glamazon, Bargain Queen!) 'Well, I just get loads of advice from my forum!
    A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea

    Where does the time go? :think:

    mfd - I have 2 dummies. seriously need more!

    The only reason OH got up the other night was because Jack had hit 2nd one under cot (which also has all his clothes under) and I couldn't reach them or see them (hadn't put specs on!) so Jack was screaming while I was trying to find them!

    OMG - YOU SO NEED MORE!!! My Childminder has 4!!!

    Another tip - I use the plastic pole from Benjamins cot mobile (which is no longer up) as a tool to grope under the cot. So if all the dummies go under then I just 'fish' with the bent pole and can usually grab a couple! No point fishing with your arm. The pole just lives under the cot :cool:



    Becles - what a pain in the a$$ hope you get it sorted. Hubby says your kids are beautiful.

    Glam, just wait, in a week or so he will realise how to turn it round ;)

    Wonder if you get glow in the dark dummies? Probably do on that site with the teeth ones, but I meant nice ones.
  • I always had Aimee's bumper along the back of the cot as a kind of wall to stop dummies going down there... Also had a stool at the end of the cot with about 5 spares on it for night time groping lol...

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

    I have at least 2 dummies beside my bed as if H decides she needs to go to sleep with one, it may get launched through the bars at the other side of the crib from my bed. Definitely not getting up so always handy to have a spare in case it's needed!
    She also seems to be really good with her hands at taking it out and putting it back in. She usually gets it the right way in the end! Can also hold her bottle really well to feed herself for a few minutes.

    Still not rolled over though so can't have everything! She keeps standing on one leg like a ballerina though so not sure if that will be her calling lol.
  • I won't let Benjamin hold his own bottle :o but I guess he could if he wanted to. He drinks from his own sippy cup.

    I have just booked a holiday

    :T:T:T:T:T


    Yay - Costa Adeje in Tenerife for a week, leaving 3 weeks on Friday :cool:


    Best get noshing that Special K if I am gonna look like the gal in the red swimsuit in 3 weeks time ;)
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    That's where I'm going in 11 days! Will let you know what's it like.

    Just been catching up, get well soon for those that are ill, especially Bruno's family with all the puking! Hugs to csh for your loss.

    Erin is asleep on my knee again, I have tried a couple of times putting her in her cot when she is tired but she just doesn't like it :o bad mummy for not trying harder. Have had a good week though. Went to a parent class on Wednesday which was a surprise invite from lambeth council but very good as I met some nice mums with babies the same age as Erin and we had a speech therapist talk to us. Three more classes still to go (will miss one while on holiday though :( ) Then yesterday I went to a nice group really close to me and met more nice mums and then out for drinks in the evening with some old uni friends (with Erin in tow - bad mummy again!) but today I have just been lazy and not done anything.

  • Benjamin went to pre-school (playgroup) with his CM today. When I picked him up CM (who is dutch) was telling me how he had been and struggled for a word...

    CM: 'He is getting really....'
    Me: 'Adventurous?'
    CM: 'Yes - adventurous at pre-school, there is a stage which is about 3 feet high and he spent a long time trying to climb onto it. I tried but struggled to distract him'
    Me: 'That's my boy!!'

    He climbs on everything! If you have a ballerina Fitzio, I have a rock climber!!
