    Alice is obviously training to be like me: I asked her when she'll be four and she said, "On my fourth birthday."

    Well, you did ask!

    Krystal you nutter, I'm sure you said you NEED a double because of your small monkey so what use would a stokke be? (or are you thinking baby in a sling, monkey in the stokke? in that case I retract my above statement :p
    Yes I will need a double, but not for a good 5 months yet... And I will still need a single once I've finished with a double... And also if we take the children out together, taking 2 singles would be less hassle than one double...

    And it was Dave's idea anyway... He said I had to get rid of one of the pushchairs but I couldn't decide which one, he said maybe I should sell them both and get a stokke lol...

    Incidentally, number 3 was conceived while number 2 was asleep in a cot at the foot of the bed... But we were more worried about disturbing my aunt / uncle / nan / various children who were also holidaying with us :p (but not on the same room :eek:)

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I didn't get any free chocolate :( I must have missed that one. probably not a bad thing as I'm going to a wedding next week and only just fit into my dress ...and I didn't buy a donut in tesco this morning:whistle:

    What time are we meeting at Monkey Forest next weds?

    Looks like my new pram might be here in time :T

    10.30? 11?

    What is easiest for people? I think it is normally 11am. That would give us some time to walk around the monkeys, have some lunch and then maybe even another monkey stroll before we leave.

    I hardly ever qualify for the Toluna ones. And they've become so unworthwhile I'm just waiting till I have enough for an Amazon voucher and then I'm cancelling.

    I know! She is now expert at climbing up to standing but doesn't cruise, and doesn't know how to get back down again. She still only commando crawls but yesterday i saw her crawl a bit on hands and knees lol.

    And she likes going behind the couch and getting stuck so i move it out and she giggles and commando crawls to the other end to be rescued. :A Yesterday she poured the dogs water into the dogs food and mixed it up with the dogs bone, was all rather flukey cos i don't think she meant to do that LOL.

    Dogs water bowl is a favourite here too, luckily I have an alarm system known as 'Henry' who lets me know if he is near.

    He can crawl at breakneck speed which is confusing when you put him down look away and he is nowhere to be seen !!! Worse thing is I cant leave back door open now else he is likely to go head first out onto the decking!!!

    Becles, Charlotte sounds so cute. Can just imagine you taking 'Banana' and 'Orange' to the park :rotfl:

    We didn't have an Orange. The full line up was:
    Apple, Banana, Plum, Strawberry, Grape, Apricot and Mango :D

    CAFC - I've had the boys with tights on under their trousers until they were about 8-9ish. They appreciated them in cold weather. When Craig was a postman, he used to wear tights in icy cold weather.

    Had different experiences with cots and beds with mine. Took Josh out of the cot when he was about 18 months as I knew I was expecting James. I wanted the cot hidden up the loft for a couple of months, so he didn't think the new baby was stealing his cot!

    James was in a bed at just 10 months old, as he was walking by 9 months and managed to climb up and out of the cot when he was 10 months :eek:

    Charlotte was in the cot until she was two. When we went to Turkey, we were expecting a travel cot, but they brought in this absolutely massive cot that either blocked off the bathroom or the main door, so we had to keep shoving it up or down when we wanted to use the bathroom or leave the room. Decided to try her in the sofa bed and she was fine so we asked them to take the cot away and bought her a bed when we came home.

    *hugs* Beenie

    :rotfl:at Alice buttering bread on the potty.

    Just skim read as I'm a hurry so *hugs* to everyone else who needs them.

    Got Josh at home. He was doing PE this morning and went to do a diving header just as someone else decided to kick the ball, so he got kicked in the face. He's now got a black eye and felt sick and dizzy, so they've sent him home. He seems ok and I've given him some paracetamol for the headache, so hopefully it's nothing serious.

    Dashing out to get my hair cut as it's a mess :o
    Here I go again on my own....
