Hmm Elena has been asleep for a good hour and 1/2 - she never sleeps this long during the day!

Maz - the £1 one can be used for any Pampers (and TBH I doubt they actually check the type of nappy so long as it's Pampers )

I'm annoyed I didn't get to Tesco while they were B2G2F even MIL mentioned it and I still forgot

Oh no what I meant was that the 2 for £14 offer was on active fit and she wanted Baby dry..:D

The offer for B2G2F went off the website very quickly actually as I think alot of people took that offer up... cant think why???:whistle::doh:

I've just been watching vids on how to make a tutu, i think im gonna attempt one! will go to a fabric shop later i think when OH gets home,

It's dead simple, if I can do one anyone can :rotfl:There's a good set of pics on flickr which show how to do it step by step.

I've just bought one of the England red and white bibs from asda and am making my niece a red tutu, she's 10 days younger than Isla and BIL moved to Croatia to get married so my half Croatian niece will be supporting England in the world cup

I ordered one of the A2 prints yesterday from photobox, it's just been delivered and it's lovely. Isla's bigger on the piccie than she is in real life and look's a bit confused by the big baby looking at her! She like's the paper they come wrapped in though and is rolling around the floor in it.

Started my cleaning but only got as far as showering and putting all the washing away now feeding Alfie.

I agree with the need for a pic EA

Is there another Manchester-ish meet planned any time? Be lovely to see all you lovely ladies again and will makesure I dont need to rush off next time.

Boo sorry to hear about your arthritis. I suspect I may have it in my knees but I am too chicken to find out for sure

Don't know what was wrong with my baba last night, but he went down at 7.30pm and only woke at 4.15am, had a bottle and back to sleep until 6.30am. :eek:. Shocking behaviour and I am totally not happy with it. Naughty boy.:mad:

Whispers: if you get too excited and happy about it, it never, never happens again, so pretend to be unhappy and well you never know.........

It packs down into a small carrier bag, and DS sleeps well in it.

Thanks Chakani, how old is your LO?

Benjamin pooped in the night again and his bottom is really sore I really don't know what to do with him ATM. As soon as it starts to clear up something happens and it gets much worse again. Poor babba.

He woke up in a really cheery mood with me this morning but a really grumpy mood with his daddy. It is getting to be more and more common that he is crying when his daddy has him and wanting to come to me I think it is because I talk/entertain/play with him whilst hubby wants cuddles (especially in the morning) but hubby doesn't seem to see that. He thinks Benjamin should just want to lie there with him, or sit on the sofa with him...it ain't ever gonna happen!!

I do feel awful for hubby though. I would hate it if it were the other way around.

Interesting, MFD... we noticed almost the same thing but it was the other way round - I was the one playing and stimulating E, OH was the one who had him all day and wanted periods where he would just sit and chill out with her, and he noticeably started picking me over her when I was around.
She changed her habits to make a point of having intense 100% play-time with him for solid periods a couple of times a day, and now he is happy with either of us but it was a bit upsetting for a while.

Poor Benjamin's bottom "Butt OUCH" as Elijah would say.

How cute on "love you" he'll be talking sweetly very soon! One of our games at the moment when we're in different rooms, is to tell Elijah "go see mama/dadden and say 'love you'" - he sprints off to find the other person, stares at them intently and says "uv ooo"

MFD Do tell me to booger off as I'm sure you have already thought of it, but have you tried smearing a big thick layer of vaseline or bepanthen on B's bum just before bed? They seem to form a barrier for longer than the creams. We've never had problems with S pooping in the night before, but I do know that if I've smeared a layer on the poop is easier to wipe off in the day than if I've put Sudocrem on, IYSWIM?

We have a similar thing in our house, but S is *ridiculously* daddy-fied rather than mummy-fied, and it used to really upset me, but now I am actually grateful for it he absolutely hates it when his daddy leaves the room or doesnt pay him any attention, but he doesnt mind if I leave his sight or get on with something else! But when he falls over or hurts himself, he reaches for me and not daddy
When he rages when OH leaves the room, I can distract him easily with raisins, so its fine

I thought this deserved its own post
