GISI, if in doubt I'd probably tell her. Has the mummy of the sick LO had chicken pox?

My baby is such a grumpy little moo when she wakes from her nap.

She doesn't want a cuddle, she just wants to lie face down on the floor screeching and kicking (and looking up to check i'm watching!)

Usually a sneeze or a burp are sure ways to make her jump and wake her up :rotfl:

And you never want to sneeze or cough until baby is asleep of course!!



Edit - 3 I have one like that too!! I am now making him leave his dummy in his bedroom in a morning (or after a nap) which mostly he does but sometimes, if he isn't awake 'enough' he refuses to leave it. This morning I put him back in his cot until he agreed to leave it behind

GISI - I would mention it. I picked J up from creche yesterday to be told one of the kids has chicken pox, great! The exclusion period is 5 days or until they've crusted (I think)

I could have wrote that ^^^ Except our combined skills are less than an unskilled and unwilling 8 year old

Because where's the fun in doing it of Mummy isn't watching

Isla's learnt to pull herself upto standing from sitting but hasn't quite got the sitting from lying down yet. It's really annoying her as she never seems to know how she wants to be. Lay her down and she wants to sit up, sit her up and she wants to stand, let her stand up and she thinks, mistakenly, that she can walk and falls down. Repeat x 10000!

:eek:I was reassuring Beenie that I wasn't too worried about her floors - not trying to make everyone feel bad about how clean theirs are kept.

You all need an Alice - she spends more time cleaning our floors than I do.

I'm afraid that my inner 8 year old is definately unskilled and unwilling!

Susan I don't actually feel bad about my grubby floors at all - my floors are grubby because when Molly is awake she and I are on them making them grubby, and when she is asleep I am working, catching up on more important household stuff, or just lying still saying Phew, I'm tired, and I think those things are more important.

Interesting article responding to the creepy breastfeeding discussion via the Guardian.

Benjamin too Susan - he happily plays with the carpet sweeper and the dustpan and brush!! I keep thinking I might buy him toy versions but a toy sweeper wouldn't clean the carpets...the real one does :rotfl::rotfl:

Boo - I swear that Benjamin learned to move around because I was [STRIKE]too lazy to be bothered[/STRIKE] trying to foster his independence

MFD - you must feel so relieved (and probably a little shaky) after that!! So glad it was good news.
