tara hes adiment (sp?) (sorry my spelling is terrible) hes going to get a paying job to help with things although he is really good with kids .. any kids .. kids just love him and love to play fight him .. dont see how being kicked around by kids is fun but they all (including philip) laugh about it *shrug* x

Tia, when you view the picture, on the top options, last one says open with, choose open with paint. When it opens choose save as, then choose another file type in the drop down options, a ping thingy is ok.

Scruffy, I bought a proper legal CDrom with the full stage 1-9 and picture cards.

Excellent if I get back into care work when I return to work I might bug you for copy

you use a breathing monitor don't you? I personally wouldn't worry anyway but does that help you feel better?
there is a very good reason babies like to sleep like that it's all to do with development of the spine and muscles etc its actually quite un natural for them to be flat on their backs hence being a common issue x
Ed still hates being flat but front or side are fine by him

Lying on the mother is the most natural sleep position of a newborn not on a flat surface.
I posted a link a while back about it around when I posted the link about the bag sling safety warning.

If lying on the mother is the most natural position, don't suppose it would matter if they were on their sides on a mattress or their back on a mattress from a natural point of view. Both would be equally unnatural then

Hmm, David Cameron isn't doing very well in his interview!

When I graduated I applied for a hundred jobs (averaging one per day) before I got one. My friends usually think I'm joking when I tell them because they find it so unbelievable that someone like me would need to apply to so many jobs before getting them.

I applied for I think 30 or 40 permanent jobs, while unemployed and then temping, before eventually being offered two on the same day which was extremely lucky as I genuinely couldn't decide and they got themselves into a sort of low-key bidding war
I was also on JSA for about a year iirc, and really didn't know what I wanted to do for a career, but ten years on things have turned out really well. So, change can happen, and I'm not sure that I made it happen, I am sure I wasn't doing "every single thing I could" during that time, but I was trying and I kept trying for aaaages.

Clever Benjamin for taking off his shoes. :T (But it won't be so clever when he's taking them off when you're in a hurry to go out!) :rotfl:

So true! E loves to take his shoes off, and then to find his wellington boots and put them on (with MUCH huffing and puffing and moaning - it's not easy!), then stomps around in them immensely proudly, you can't help but be pleased for him

The medicine he is taking that he hates, tonight we got ready to give it while he was BF. I leant over, he pulled off to look at me, saw the syringe and lunged away in a grimly determined manner... then he stopped, turned back to me, and opened his mouth with a resigned look! :A We applauded and praised him like mad when he swallowed it down, and he did it again for the second syringeful then after that was done, he kept pulling off and tentatively clapping to OH to encourage her to applaud him some more

sm, just an idea but as philip is so good with kids, would he not consider doing childcare or similar

Tara, thanks! Scruff, no probs

Caz, I think the signs will help. I only met him for a wee while in Edinburgh, but he is a lovely lad, and very clever I think I signed hello to him and he did look at my hand so he should take to it well. Any luck he won't feel as frustrated once he can get his point across. And then he will stop taking it all out on you, because it was very focused on you.

question ... ever since realising im going to be 25 this year its really got me thinking .. what am i doing with my life? (believe been on a emotional roller coast for a while now just been keeping it in) ... they always say by 25 you're ready to think about family .. well i have my family and if i never have a 3rd child id be ok with that .. but my career or lack of one has left me feeling sort of lost .. so my question is when did you decide on your careers and at what age? x

Aw Bruno, you are going to have some trouble with that boy when he gets older I tell you! He is so sweet and charming!
