    Beenie, I would tell him you have ordered and paid for a foam one which was £30. Do not give him any excuse to complain. Even though it goes against everything I wanna tell him (like !!!! off), keep yourself right and view the money as a legal issue (which it is).

    *whispers to Tia*

    what is this baby led weaning they all talk about?

    *whispers back*

    You don't give purees, you let the baby feed themselves with 'real' food, bits of this and that... I don't really understand it myself, it's like just skipping the puree stage and going onto finger foods?

    *awaits someone yelling at me that I'm soooo wrong*

    Holidays, I suppose it depends a lot on the baby. Aslong as LO has me, and I have a sling, we don't need anything else, so don't have a problem going away now.

    I like routine mum and routine baby theory, who was it who told me about that? Me and LO are perfectly matched, both very much not into routines!

    You will be fine when you get there, trust me. I hadrly thought abuot Izzy all day :o. I have some really good pictures of her pinned to the wall, so they make me grin whenever I look at them. I know she is having a fab time at nursery or with my Mum and that makes it loads easier. Will your work be a bit flexible with your hours for the first week or so? You might find you need some extra "dropping off" time to start with until he gets used to it.

    Its a new job so I am hoping they will be flexible.
    My trust induction is on the Monday and I don't need to be there until 9.30am but I think I'll still take him from 7.35am and just have a walk before I start.
    I am going to ask for a few settling in sessions and then I think the week before I go back I might take him in each morning for 7.35am (will mean I get a trial run at getting ready with OH to iron out any probs) leave him for an hour ot 2, then a morning and see how we go.
    He was OK when I left him there for 20mins so he might be OK.

    Maddy had finished her Beef Stew yesterday and was moaning as we were still eating so I lined up some peas on her tray, she sat for ages picking them up one at a time shoving them in. :rotfl:
