    The program I watched last night about fatherhood said that by the time babies are toddlers they prefer their fathers anyway because fathers take on the 'entertainer' role. They said it will even go as far as toddlers walking around their mothers to get to their fathers for play :(
    Sounds interesting - what channel was it on?
    Did it also say that when the child falls over or is hurt in some way they are likely to run around their father to get to their mother for comfort?

    We had a competition at our BF picnic today- prizes for the eldest and youngest BF babies there. Anyone care to guess the age of the eldest, just for fun?
    Four?

    Was it national boobie day today or something? They mentioned on the local radio this afternoon about a boobie picnic taking place in Liverpool.
    It's breastfeeding awareness week.

    I am a hormonal wreck... That bought a tear to my eye... :o

    Fitz, I would give my right arm for a 7am lie in!! Caitlyn thought 4:30 was a good time to get up today :( I tried to bring her in bed with us but she wouldn't settle and I didn't want her disturbing hubby too much so ended up bringing her downstairs... I think she must have been hungry too... She ate 2 bowls of rice crispies!!

    I'm hoping she nods off on the way back from school so I can have an hour on the sofa...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Susan, now you mention it I knew about it.

    Caz, I'm always free! I've got a night out planned 9th July, and am off to Cumbria for a night 31st ish July. And possibly going on holiday 10th July but not confirmed yet.

    What is it with Fridays in this house? Last week the microvave and cooker got destroyed. This morning Liv has tripped over the laptop wire and dropped it on the floor. The screen has gone grey and blank! :-(.

    I'm posting from my phone, it's taking forever.

    SS, you could soon be almost neighbours with SB.

    Morning lovelies!

    Well after being up a million times in the evening, Henry went down at 10 and slept till 5:30 which is a good night for us. So that's two good nights in a row :j.

    Hugs Krystal. 4:30 is a coming home time not a getting up time ;).

    Fitz- is Mr Fitz bladder okay?


    The eldest BF child at our picnic was 6 :D. We gave a prize to the mummy :rotfl:. It's national boobie week, 3. I got a cool NHS promotional BFing bag and keyring, which are very cool :cool:, well if you're sad like me they are.

    Off out in a bit for a walk, then lunch at my grandparents then getting ready for me 'weekend away' sans baby. I'm going to Center Parcs for a Hen, only for tomorrow night as I couldn't leave H for any longer :o! It's gonna be fab in this weather though.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p

    You should buy yourself a thermometer and track your basal body temperature - it would be loads cheaper and you wouldn't spend as much time wondering.

    That would assume that I am trying to get pregnant...I am trying NOT to get pregnant :cool:



    Morning all - my cutie baby went to the CM in his lovely white England kit today - the CM took one look at him and burst out laughing saying 'You don't expect me to keep that clean do you - they have a birthday party with chocolate cake at pre-school today' :rotfl::rotfl:

    EA - Last night Jack had a sleepsuit and no vest. The few nights before when it was warmer he just had a sleeveless vest, no sleepsuit and no blanket!

    Where does the time go? :think:
  • EA - Benjamin is wearing a vest and a sleepsuit at the moment. I am happy to keep him that way unless the temp goes over about 26 in his room. I find he wakes up if he is cold but he doesn't wake if he is hot IYSWIM.
