    Afternoon!

    Out at a practice but the systems down *rollseyes*

    Sami - When I had my appendix out we didn't dispatch in our usual 3 days so just messaged everyone to explain why and that we would send 1st Class instead of 2nd. If you paid for 2nd Class and they posted it 1st Class then I guess they think it's OK.

    Krystal - will C go back off if you bring her in bed with you? Last 2 mornings J's been wide awake after his 4am bottle but fell straight back to sleep when in with us. He does get a rather sweaty head though when he's in our bed!
    I paid for 1st class ;) I just mentioned it coz that's how I 'know' they mustn't have posted earlier :)
    I thought it would arrive slowly after it took them a few days to send the 'congrats you've won' email then a few more days for the thanks for paying one :rolleyes: it is an ebay shop too, I'd have sympathy for a possibly busy private seller that might have life getting in the way. I'd bought about 5 things from various sellers at the same time and everyone else manage to get stuff to me within 3 days of paying - can you tell i'm grumpy today :p

    OMG seriously?! I hate that advert and have fleetingly thought about complaining about it, has she not read the ingredients?!

    ...mine is not to question why...

    We have told DSS that it is bad for him and that he needs to make his own mind up about eating healthily as he grows up.


    How old does my baby look in his England Kit?

    We only put it on him this morning and Hubby was asking him "Where's England?" and Benjamin was touching the badge :T:T

    I would just leave feedback saying "took longer than stated to post out but arrived eventually" or similar...

    Very cute Mfd!! :D And how different does DSS look with his haircut!

    Today Caitlyn is loving her electronic book that she's had since last summer... It's amazing how much she's changed since then, how much she's able to do now...

    I tried her this morning Glam, she kept lolling on me or hubby but would then sit up and start to poke at us, or pull my hair whilst chatting very loudly, and then she started trying to shuffle off the end of the bed to go and play...

    I can't think of anything that you've probably not done already! Later to bed, less naps during the day, maybe getting up with her at 4.30am but ignoring her so she knows it's not playtime??

    I know you said she had 90mins this morning, tomorrow could you wake her after an hour so that she's not grumpy but not had too long?

    Jack has an hour at 9am, an hour at 12,30pm and then 20mins around 4.30pm. He's definitely sleeping better at night since he dropped the 2hr naps! :eek: I actually prefer Jack wakign at 4am for a bottle cos I know he'll go back off until around 7-8am but if he wakes at 6am for a bottle then he's up for the day!

    MFD your HTML is hanging out ;)

    I learned this morning that a friend of a friend from when I lived in Dublin not only lives here now but has a baby only a couple of months younger than Molly! So I'm off to meet her. See you later.

    What does everyone give their LO's for breakfast (or what did you give them when they were about Holly's age)? I am feeling guilty as she gets baby porridge or Weetabix most days which is totally boring,

    I used to alternate between Weetabix and porridge.

    Once she learned to speak, I started letting Charlotte pick what she wanted for breakfast. For the last year and a half or so, I think she's had Weetabix nearly every day, so it can't be that boring :rotfl:
    Here I go again on my own....

    She doesn't usually sleep that long in the morning, it's usually 30mins... I suppose the extra hour was due to the early wake up... She usually sleeps 1-3 and that's it until bed time, but since she had a big morning nap she'll either not nap again, or have half an hour on the way back from school... I'd be loathe to drop the lengthy naps at the minute... I'll be appreciating them in a few months! :cool:
