  • Oh, she would love that. That reminds me, we were doing wheelbarrow races in the park the other day. And yesterday there were some bigger kids and one of them was walking on her hands, so Izzy was trying to copy :rotfl:.

    CFAC girl is he at home today? Can you go out for a walk for a bit to blow of steam?

    CAFC - whats OH up to now?

    Anyone any idea what I can get T instead of her bouncer, I think she needs to move on. She isnt happy laying back in it and is constantly leaning forward and tries to roll over in it.

    Have only read this and the last page, but S is another sleepy one. We can keep him awake past 7 if we need/want to but he is particularly whingey if we do! He sleeps through til 6-8am depending on his opinion that particular morning ;) but still has a 2-3 hour nap as well! I too was worried he wasnt getting something nutritionally so I got some vitamin drops which I put in his cereal, but they've made no difference. When he is at the CM he doesnt nap properly and is vile when I pick him up.

    Cute thing he's started doing - instead of dancing, he stares transfixed at the tv and then when its finished claps and says Yaaay!

  • Thanks ladies, I'm away til Friday. Last minute getting ready now scheduled around breakfast for my snot monster. Mum is coming at 10am so need to be ready for then. Hard work packing to go away with a baby isn't it?!

    Lovely video ArmyBike :) Alfie was laughing away at it

    LOL - in a few months time when he won't sleep you can all laugh at me!!

    Did I see right earlier Maz that Henry still has a nap?


    I also worry that he needs so much sleep when V (for example) seems to be phasing out her daytime nap and maybe he is missing out on something (nutritionally or whatever) because he still needs so much sleep :(

    well if you want to [STRIKE]compare[/STRIKE] know what happens in our house, A goes to bed between 6.30-7pm, generally now sleeps until 7-7.30pm an sleeps for approx 1 1/2 hrs at lunch. Bearing in mind that B is a boy and therefore probably more active I think it sounds about right. Being sleepy means he's being stimulated both mentally and physically and is learning so much he needs to sleep for his brain to consolidate all the new information.

    hi everyone...

    who fancies helping me write a resignation letter, trying to get the powers that be to allow me to us my two weeks leave as part of my four week notice period???

    going to read back to see what all the babies/toddlers/children have been up to

    oooh - sounds exciting. I would think that it would be easy enough for you to arrange what you want. Otherwise if you don't take the holidays they must pay you for them. could you book your holidays on teh HR system before you resign ;)

    Different people need different amounts of sleep. I read the blog of a lady who is pregnant and she was complaining about how little she could get done because she had to sleep so much. When she actually specified how much she was sleeping it was the same as the amount of sleep I normally have.
