    Yay for commando crawling and rolling over.

    Katie chooses a toy to go to bed with every night, that way we don't have the issue of what happens when it gets lost or needs a wash. I have a feeling tonights choice will be Gruffalo.

    Fitzio - I have one of those in mind if we go abroad in the next couple of years.

    glam- i never thought of a teddy. K has 2 teddies that he randomly hugs/chews/ puts on his face when he is going asleep. i even wrote it on his 'things to know' bit of his nursery 'all about me' form.
    hope it works.

    ... Elle - I hadn't realised you were in work again. Are you doing all 10 KIT days?

    Yup :) Did my first one last Wednesday, then today and then two a week for the next four weeks. Am actually quite enjoying myself when I'm there. Feels nice to be productive again :o

    Erin doesn't take bottles so I've just gone straight for a doidi cup and Erin is fine with it.

    Glam I bath Erin every night - it's supposed to help as it raises their temperature which is what naturally happens when you are about to go to sleep and it goes down when you are about to wake up - I hope I have that the right way round!



    Kindof I got some disposable mattress protectors for waters breaking as a pack of 4 in boots and since I didn't use them all at the time I'm using them now under Erin's bedding.
    Sorry if I missed anyone, just done a massive catch up and can't remember half of what I read|!
    Can I just say:

    Andrew rolled over from back to front half-a-dozen times today :j :j :j :j :j

    After a sleep though, he'd forgotten again what to do with the bottom arm :rotfl: So he's having to learn it again. I left him on the rug on my parents floor, he rolled himself over and started commando crawling out of the room before anybody noticed :rotfl:

    Go Andrew :j

    I nipped in to my old, old job which I will kind of be going back to do next month (:eek:) as I was passing the site and wanted to see if one of the IT guys was in as his car was there and we get on quite well. He wasn't there but being back there and thinking 'I'll be working in this environment soon' didn't make me think :eek: but more - I'll be more than just Jack's mum.
    I'm actually looking forward to going back and I really think that nursery will do J the world of good - get him away from my dulcet tones 24/7 :o

    Didn't even respond to Jenny in last post! doh!

    Thanks for that Jenny, didn't know that! Got out of the bath routine ages ago and my friend was surprised as I was always saying how it relaxed him! I think part of my trouble is being full of 'I'll do xyz' but in reality it lasts about a month and then I get lazy/bored/something better comes along!

    That's right. :)

    I used to just take the lid off but whenever I got it warmed up out in public people would take the whole top off so I do that now.

    Elle - I hadn't realised you were in work again. Are you doing all 10 KIT days?
    yeah after much drama! I had to put Chris's seat in the front and put half the back seat down (is that safe? I figured it was ok just once but I've never been sure :undecided) while I was getting it in he wet himself though and I got p'd off then felt guilty and got him maccy's :o I'm such a bad mum this week! I had to, shock horror, get out of the car to get the maccy's tho :eek::rotfl:

    Oooh when you get a chance I would LOVE to see it:) I need a cot for kai, but as he won't be in it for very long I want a cheap one...was thinking of either that one or getting one secondhand out the paper. How much is the mattress to go with it?
    here you go[LINK REMOVED]the cheapest mattress is £20 I got that one and it feels fine, I got a padded topper for it that was a bit of a rip at £12.99 but I was desperate, they do a cheaper thin just waterproof one thats £5 but didn't have any left :(
