Hello everyone :hello:

The sun is shining, the kids are at school, life is good

BeenieCat

I'm not a morning person at all so if she was up for the day at 5am or something my poor son would never see me smile :rotfl: I'm better on a night, more patience!

edit - actually i think me being a heavy sleeper helps, my ex stayed once and heard her twisting on the morning, but she went back to sleep and i was oblivious. She woke me up a few hours later though when she really wanted fed

Whyyy does she puke half the BM up after a feed but she didn't puke at all when she had a bottle last night :mad: She doesn't like my milk

such as Lydia dustbin?

I love the name too.. it makes me think of frogs as well for some reason..

Alice is a lovely name.. but I already have an 'A'.. actually we have 2 as OH is 'A' as well.. I usually have a name or 3 in mind by now but I am really struggling with this one.. and I asked the children for ideas.. so we have Zelda, Starjiggy, Scoobydoo, Vlad, Droobleface and Link to choose from... I think they weren't very helpful!!!

:rotfl: actually I quite like Link :cool:
If we have another boy I'm gonna stomp my feet until OH agrees that Caleb or Noah are nice names

Bit of a panic this morning. Josh got ready for school and his trousers wouldn't fasten. He came downstairs and they had been pulled in slightly with those button elastic thingy's, so I managed to let them out and they just say fit! He was standing in just his pants, and I noticed his body is looking more manly than boyish - scary!

:eek:It's scarey isn't it Becles. J stayed at Mums on Saturday night for the first time in about 18 months. She said yesterday when I collected him, she got a shock when she helped dress him - as he's getting to be a big boy. :eek:

oh one question i'll catch the answers later ... how old is enough to walk to school on there own .. i know shes to young now but shes bugging me for an age x

L nagged me from about Zoe's age too. She's finally been allowed in the last month or so. It's less than half a mile with our road to cross, and one other road with a lollypop man.

Plus a boy and a girl from her class live around the corner so she normally waits for them to come past, then joins them to walk. And school phone you if they're not there by 9.15 and you've not phoned them first.

She's walked home from school from a few weeks before but that was because of J's transport changing so he's getting home at the time I should be at L's school. She wants me to collect her this week because OH has got a week off so he can be here for J.


It's really grey and dull here today i'm blaming OH because he's got a week off, and he's took the hard top roof off his car. :rotfl:

ooo am I really first on? Weird! We had an okay night last night, but best of all was he stayed asleep until we got him up at 7! :T It's been 6ish for the past couple of weeks, so even that 1 hr really helps .

Beenie, we have a bath support like that, but I prefer our other one which is like a soft thing that he lies flat on (there's a pillow under the head that keeps it just above the water level). No idea where it's from as we got both off Freecycle. I found the other hard plastic one kept him too out of the water so he got cold easily.

Happy Birthday Chris!!

Morning all
Up at 6.30 and checked the forums a few times but you were all quiet

Thanks to all for scooter comments. I will do some more research and maybe even *gasp* go to a shop.

Baths: I think we moved to just using the big bath with my hand under his head or chin, at around 4 months or so. He really really enjoyed it - much happier than he had been in the smaller baby bath.

I meant to say something else I have now forgotten.

3 - are you watching the wright stuff? you've contributed to merseyside being the place most likely to produce a baby out of wedlock *shock*

beenie - maybe she likes you milk more and stuffs herself so then chucks up a bit :cool:

Oh, naughty me.

SM - if we still live here at the time Chris will never be allowed to walk to primary school alone, it is about a 15min walk and we'll walk on nice days car in the rain.
BIL was never allowed to walk from P school either which wasn't 'that' long ago, I remember going to collect him with OH.

Question: Is a whole banana ok for a 10mth baby? Ed is storming through his at the mo

BeenieCat

Hope so Sami, just v.annoying how much she's started puking up.

Becles, have you seen this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/thrillseeker/api/events/pems-181

I was looking for some in my area but there's nothing, and you have to be 8 J&J might like it, tis free :money:

BrunoM

I hope they are Sami, E had lots of bananas from younger than that, sometimes whole (he is a bit off them now actually). But I don't know what "they" say!
