    Quick question, Chris had an eye test yesterday at 9.20am, he had eye drops to dilate his pupils. Tonight before bed, one eye was still dilated. I thought they were back to normal after a few hours? Anyone know?

    Mine, my mums and my sisters went back after a few hours.

    Sorry Fattybooboo, no idea how long a tooth takes to come through but someone on here must know!

    Thankyou AF :) How are you doing? How's LO? How about the job hunt? (or are we not talking about work since it's the weekend? ;)).

    Jenny, I'd love to be the one to tell FBB how long it takes a tooth to come through but sadly we STILL have none here :( Must be a record by now, surely :o

    Erin's haven't come through even though they have been visible and gums apparently swollen since she was born. Who needs teeth anyway!

    I don't think Amber has teeth, can't see anything below those gums. See if I listened to the old 'can't wean till they get a tooth' story, she'd have faded away to a shadow by now!

    I'm off to watch teh rest of the universe before bed. I like documentaries, they relax me. Night all!

    Morning ladies! I'm really going now, I promise, but I saw this article about parenting kids with ADHD and autism and thought it might be interesting? It also has some interesting thoughts in the comments, hopefully there'll be more as the day goes on :)

    Enjoy the long weekend!

    Morning all. Loads to do today, but can't stop feeding the baby even if I am busy. She got me up at 6:30 so I've made tzaziki already. My list for the day:
    • cut rhubarb at the allotment and water in the greenhouses
    • make rhubarb crumble (well, stew rhubarb, make the crumble, then combine the two and cook this evening when people actually get here)
    • make pasta salad
    • wash up all the mess I've made
    • go into town, collect reserved library book, take money out of savings and pay into my bank
    • call joint account and get them to reset my online pin number thingy AGAIN, as I didn't change it to what I thought I did.
    • call credit card to pay some money off directly, seeing as I can't do it online.
    • Finish clearing back table and clean it
    • Tidy living room floor
    • hoover
    • change our bed sheets and have a bit of a tidy
    • inflate camping matress
    • greet guests
    • drink, eat and be merry :)
    I should be able to delegate some of these later on, but DH is working from 10-6 today, so I'm not going to get a lot of help there (am leaving him to sleep, as he was working last night too, but hopefuly we can go do the allotment bits together before I drop him at work)

    We went to Ikea yesterday to get steps for my friend's son to use for toilet training. We got Rhys one too for practising stepping up since we don't have stairs and he's been lifting his little legs up like a pro and stepping up, then standing on this step, arms in the air, looking all victorious :rotfl:

    That is adorable - video please ;)

    While we are on teeth, they can be really variable. Izzy had pone come trough months ago which popped its little tip through the gum and hasn't budged since. She has had another one come through a few weeks ago and it isn't through fully, but has really go a wiggle on. I think teeth, just like everything else with babies, will do their own thing in their own time!

    Calamine in aquaeous cream is good and you can also get Clarytin liquid for them to take to help stop the itching....It is normally behind the counter in the chemists:)

    Hopefully they don't get them too badly.
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.
