    I'm just making our Christening Information Sheet to go in with the invites. We don't want any presents as everyone was so generous when T was born and most of the guests will be spending a lot of money to come. (my family are mainly in the north east) I'm just wondering how best to say it. I could have 'No presents just your presence' but I think that sounds tacky! At the moment I've got
    'No presents please, we just want your company.' but I don't really like that either.
    Suggestions please! :)

    Hi all :)

    I met my OH through a computer game! :eek: :o

    Hope the Baby Whisperer approach works for you Glam, seems like a good start :) I really liked her book but our reflux/pain in the night problems meant we couldn't quite follow through.

    Many cheerings for pinkpig :D 23 months is shortish but that doesn't have to make it harder I think. It will all work out fine ;)
    I and my brothers were 23 months/23 months separated and my mum coped surprisingly casually as far as I can tell :)

    Somebody posted a lovely baby pic this morning (or last night?) and it has been such a very long time that I have since forgotten who :( but I remember liking it.

    We still help Elijah eat off and on to make sure he gets food down him rather than getting bored/distracted. His favourite thing is, from his highchair in the kitchen he can see several different boxes of tea - he will demand to play with them one at a time in between "courses" :rolleyes:
    I agree with splitting the meal up/giving more and smaller, it's what works for us - E typically has a shot at around 5 meals a day, and sometimes eats very little at 1 or 2 of them but that's fine. Plus occasional other snacks and aggressive scavenging from daddy's supper plate.

    could you split it up into a starter, main and pudding - different bowls/cutlery or make his earlier snacks larger so that he doesn't ahve to eat so much in one sitting?

    ALl the boys we know eat so much - LO isn't that fussed:rotfl:

    We had my parents' 40th wedding anniversary lunch today - just family; our canvas print 'mosaic' pictures were very well received :) a nice time had by all but poor OH was completely exhausted by it and had to sleep for 3 hours after we got home...!

    I was playing with E this evening in the nursery... he was demanding I get on my hands and knees to make a "tunnel" for him to crawl through. I was topless (;)) and after a few crawl-throughs, he stopped, rolled over, and started ... fondling... my chest :eek:
    I asked him what he was doing he said "Testing!" <fondle fondle> "Testing dadden" <fondle fondle> "Dadden NAKED!" <cackle gleefully>
