Meant to say....looks like Sophie is a success! My Mum held her out to T yesterday and he looked at her and started crying. The he reached his hand out and my Mum moved her over to him and he took and then held onto her most of the afternoon! He can get her face into his mouth and knaw on it....it looks so cruel lol I was very excited as it's the first time he's done anything like that!

Bruno, I did the poll, I think some of the ladies who have voted have been telling fibs, the percentage who deny using pornography at all is massive!

Re the cup, I don't know how the amadeus cup goes together but i know one of El's cups (with a straw) doesn't work at all unless you put it together in a certain order, do you think the problem is something like that? maybe just trial and error taking it apart and putting it together again.

Mel, I cannot beieve how grown up K looks! I'm sure i have the hat somewhere which matches T's outfit, PM me your address if you would like me to fairy it.

So did I

I hate the knee-jerk "!!!!!! is bad for women and makes men into misogynistic bastages therefore I am against it" response. Some !!!!!! is exploitative, some is not. Some men are misogynistic bastages and !!!!!! might support their bastagery - but I doubt seeing people having bizarrely posed sex is going to cause a lightbulb moment "OMG all women are only sex objects!!!!!!!!!" response.

I also hate the "oh no, *I* never watch !!!!!!, I think it's disgusting" by women who spend fortunes on Mills and Boon and those erotic fiction books you can buy in Ann Summers, or who settle in to watch Lady Chatterley with Sean Bean because it's an adaptation of classic literature.

GAHHHHH.

People like stuff that makes their naughty bits tingle. Why judge?

Morning all,

Beautiful pics Mel

Some gorgeous new avvys knocking about too!

LOL at Bruno not being able to work a childs cup are you working from home today Bruno?

I think I could do 29th September if anyone wants to meet. MIL is in the IOW that week so I will prob have Benjamin on the Wednesday.


Benjamin and I had our first really frustrating conversation this morning. We were in the car on the way to the CM and he was excitedly pointing at something and saying 'gog gog' (or something like that) and I hadn't a clue what he was talking about I kept asking if it was x - dog, lorry, trees (?), hot dog - but he just kept saying no and 'gog gog' and pointing. He got quite frustrated and upset that I didn't understand what he was saying and I got all because he clearly wanted to tell me something but I couldn't work out what.

Poor babba

MFD we have conversations like that all the time. I can normally work things out from context (I worked out "ran" means orange when she was in the kitchen near the fruit bowl!), but it doesn't always work that way. Especially in the car when you can't see what they are pointing at

Bruno - I don't think there been bad nurseries is a reason not to use them, but knowing there are rubbish ones out there is definitely an extra reason to be extra careful when choosing which one to use. Of course the people running the nurseries ARE there to make money out of you, but that doesn't mean that the teachers working directly with the kids don't put their all in iyswim. I don't know if we are lucky at picking our nursery, but Izzy loves the one she goes to, and it is clear she is getting loads out of it (I can tell when I get home when she has had a good day!) I'm not sure I would feel the same about some of the others we looked at.

Anyway, I must push the hoover round and see if I can wash up before we have to go out. Have a great weekend everyone
