And OH just came in all excited because the local cinema is showing the English-language version of Sherlock Holmes and he said we can go on Saturday afternoon. Awesome, says me, who'll mind Molly? Oh we can just take her with us and she won't make any noise, he responds, she'll probably sleep through it anyway.

Sometimes the thought processes of my beloved husband go beyond not making sense. My daughter, who I adore, has not slept two hours at a stretch in the daytime for months. She has not been quiet while awake for more than three minutes at a time for a roughly equal number of months. And the chances of her not screaming when she finds herself being shushed in a loud dark place are precisely nil. Aside from which, the cinema is never going to let a baby in. How does he not know these things?

:rotfl: But it is sweet that he wants to take her with you to things.

Button's those piccies are lovely, Keira is such a cutie. I love the sleepy one

SM - thank you for my chocolate, OH made me a brew and I'm about to enjoy it with that. Isla's is in the fridge so she can have it bit by bit when she starts eating

Glam - loved Jack's check shirt today, he's got the best smiley face! Do you know where the shirts from please? I might have to get my nephew one. Isla did look really grown up today, I think that's what made me think I need to start really making the most of my ML It's going too quickly. Also do you know if your going to sling meet on the 21st? It's the wednesday one but depending whether OH is off work that week I might pop along too.

SS - I think your OH may have been talking to mine, he too thought it would be fine to take Isla to the cinema as 'she's just a baby, she'll sleep or feed the whole time' Yeah right!

Here we can't take an under 3's in the cinema.

Sorry, trying to read and occasionally post but can't handle the speed the site is at. Don't get why it's just Mse, I'm doing theis in Firefox as IE won't load at all.

SB I was think about you this morning. Have you been to the Bug Experience at the Albert Dock? We're thinking of going tomorrow but wanted to know if it was worth it. I know the babies won't care probably, but will have Liv, and my friends older boy 3.

I reeeeeeeeeeeeeally wanted to take Aimee to this when we went up to Liverpool but FIL pulled a face at the price and said just one of us should take her instead of both of us which kind of made me feel like I was being unreasonable about wanting to go... There's a reason I call him the lord of all naysayers...

oh yes! my MIL (who wasn't actually MIL then because we weren't married) didn't talk to either of us for a week when OH told her about Chris, then VERY regulary said that there was no need to have another until Chris was at school. Since announcing that we were expecting Ed it is often said that "that's it now" and things to that effect.

Sounds similar to my Nan... She was pretty appauled that we were planning to have a baby... And when Caitlyn was a girl she made a big fuss about it saying there were enough boobs in the family already :rolleyes: (But you can't win with that woman, she cried when my Aunt had a boy!)

I took Caitlyn to see New Moon It was a daytime showing so there were only a couple of other people in there and my friend sat in the aisle with her while she played with the lights up the side of the seats... It worked pretty well actually... (When I rang the cinema to ask if she could go, they were more pre-occupied with the age rating of the film rather than the fact I wanted to take a baby with me... Can't take her to anything over a 12A apparently lol)

It really is, and apparently he asked the ticket woman and she says that people can bring babies so long as they don't make any noise. So he thinks that's licence to bring Princess Shoutypants to the movies. Even if it was a parent-child screening, I wouldn't bring her to Sherlock Holmes - it's just too dark, too many sudden noises, too shouty and too scary.

I'm glad he thought to ask them though. When we were away we wanted to do a submarine safari and I insisted he check with them before booking - he was positive there'd be no problem bringing the baby and was astonished when they refused.

Argh all you people posted while I was!

I'm just tired and a bit blah, aless, but the "hey let's go to the cinema" has sparked my attention once more.

It would be a Saturday afternoon showing at a city centre cinema which regularly sells out. Boggles the mind, so he does.

I meant to say that we were lucky and no one had anything but positive things to say to our faces when we announced our incipient infant. I assume there was plenty of discussion in private but everyone knew to keep their sharp tongues to themselves.
