    Hello :) My toddler has gone from hating baths to now loving them? I'm not complaining, but I don't know why he's suddently started loving them again! Yesterday he tried to climb into the bath (while i was running it) with his clothes still on lol. I put our names down for swimming again with surestart, I really hope we get a place soon now he seems to love water :)

    Hi Keely - are these the ones in Bilston Baths? We went to those and absolutely loved them! The pool there is ace, even if the changing rooms leave a little to be desired!

    Hope you have a lovely holiday!


    Hey Weezlie! How are you my lovely?

  • It sounds like Fergie is coming along really well. It's interesting to hear that they suggested weaning for Kezzie as I've not heard that as a remedy for colic before (not that I am an expert, of course)!

    We're amazing thanks. Henry seems to be at the age where each day brings something new and I don't think I ever imagined how much fun it would be. Back to work for me next week, so that will be a whole new challenge but I think it will be good for me too.

    Oh and Gill, i had an image in my head of you sighing when you opened it "why the heck has she sent all this crap" :rotfl: But i have serious issues with throwing free samples and stuff out so feel free to bin it all where i can#t see :rotfl::rotfl:

    You picked the right person to send it to Beenie, I just love free samples :j My best mate has a 4 wk old and I have another friend due in October so anything I can't use will be passed on.

    SJ - sorry to hear you had a bad night. We had two pooey nappies to change again last night. He went back down afer the 1am one but I had to feed him at 3.30 where we've been getting away with 6 recently. Typically he chose the night when I had wine so I've been a bit slow to get going this morning

    I can't imagine having 2!! Gingerman keeps me on my toes as it is. He is simply magnificent and I could spend all day just watching him play.

    We bought him a little plastic golf set over the weekend (£3.50 in Matalan) and he loves it! It has 3 clubs and 3 balls in a little plastic golf bag on wheels and he found loads of ways to play with all of it - not least of all using the bag as a hoover :rotfl::rotfl:

    Work is still stressful and this week is looking like it might have some movement in it but I have a holiday on the horizon so that keeps me going ;)

    How is Mr Weezl finding being daddy bear to 2 lovely boys? ....and have you any plans for baby Weezl no 3 yet?

    Hi :) Yes, it's at Bilston Baths. I took Elliot when he was about 5 months old and he loved the sessions back then :) The changing rooms where blooming freezing though! (was february and bad weather though i guess). I want to take him to The Crystal Leisure centre at some point, as I think he'll like the way it's like a beach in the leisure pool (shallow going to deeper water etc).

    Thank you! :o

    I shouldn't even complain really as even with the few mediocre nights we have it really good chez SJ :o:o

    And it is ALWAYS the way that the bad nights are the ones where you have stuff on the next day or have had a drink or something!

    I saw the pics on your fb of your friend's baby, she's cute. Your friend looks good too for 4 weeks post birth! Also your DH looks like a catalogue model in the pic of him :rotfl:

    kessie does get a lot of stimulation from watching fergie play and always seems to watch engrossed when we read, so I'm hopeful that I'm killing two birds with one stone!

    mr weezl is a great dad. I seriously think he is a better parent to littlies than me. A lovely combo of gentle, fun patience and lots of 'throwing you up in the air' energy.

    Number 3? Oh boy! I'm no tara, caz or pigpen I'm afraid :o am more feeling like 2 is my limit :)

    What about you do you/DH want another? 4 is a lot of boys, I guess even if 2 of them are all big now!

    Really hope work moves in the right direction.

    Thanks everyone i think my kids are gorgeous too but i'm totally biased :p I can't wait to get my free print from Pixifoto, he showed me it on the computer and i love it, but i also loved all the other ones that are extortionately priced :(
    Lovely to see you Beenie :) Did you go to Michael McIntyre yet? We have stand by tickets for this Thursday

    It's this Sunday, mine are priority tickets and i can't wait :D Still don't know who i'm taking though :rotfl: (or what i could wear because nothing fits :( I want a maxi dress but being undertall and overweight, i'm thinking that might look silly)
