Morning Folks!

Love the video Bruno, E is very cute.

Could have done with an extra hour in bed this morning, even though it was a good night.

Happy Birthday Krystal!

Becles

Morning

Lovely video Bruno - very cute.

Feel a bit better this morning and think cold is on it's way.

Working from home this morning with loads of typing to do. Need to pop down to Tesco first though as we've nearly run out of toilet paper and I forgot to put it on the shop I had delivered yesterday

Have a good day all xx

Somnium

Morning all.

EA - yeay for new baby scan pic, do you have a pet name for him/her?

Bruno - Very cute vid x

caz - Horse loan sounds fab. hope it all works out for you.

Well looks like we have a new routine here as bed time has moved from 8.30 to 7.30 and wake up has moved from 7.30 to 6am, and we now have 3 hours of napping in the day! Its great for me (as I have more me time and can get more done), now if I could get her tro sleep for more than 2/3 hours though the night we'd be laughing Oh and T can most deffinatley crawl, only not in baby grows! She is currently crawling about showing off and intermittently showing off she can also now sit up on her own, add to that her new favorite word wahwahwah and its really cute to watch her entertaining her self. Off to baby weigh in this morning hope its not too busy.

oh and.... Happy Birthday Krystal

:eek: My baby slept through the night! :eek:

I have no illusions of grandeur - I'm sure it is just a one off.

Bruno, E is adorable. Is it weird that I expected his accent to be more American b/c he doesn't go to nursery or anything?

morning

we have a big nursery rhyme book that we will read from DH also reads the Thomas Tank Engine Collection.
i bought some from the Works as well.... 4 for £5 all popular ones with great pictures.

we had a lie-in this morning....up at 8 rather than 7.15am....
DH is off today so he is still in bed but he was up watching the miners being released and playing his train signalling game no doubt

Can anyone recommend any nicely rhyming childrens books for bedtime?

Janet and Allan Ahlberg do lovely rhyming books- my favourite of all time is cops and robbers although that would possibly be too long for 18 months.

Oh my Gosh... what a bobbins night! Of course, second night in a row where A decides to wake for one feed instead of the usual 2/3 so I wake at 2am in a panic and check on her. Then cant go back to sleep due to having a massive stress about weaning?!!!! God knows why?! lol Then A wakes up at 3:30am for her feed which lasted about 20 mins but wouldnt wind for at least half an hour! By that point she was awake so had to settle her again. Everything was fine until she kept spitting her bloody dummy out! :mad: Until 5:30am. Then I just pulled her in with us.
Of course, DH slept through the whole thing! :) And the dummy spitting is because shes due the next size up but she wont accept it so the one she has got comes out of her mouth very easily now as its getting a bit small.
Happy birthday Krystal! And :T for Aless!

MFD - not sure if its too long for B but the book by the gruffalo auther and illustrator are good, we have nice chunky ones BOGOF in tesco
The Gruffalo
Room on the Broom
The Smartest Giant in Town
The Snail and the whale

they all rhyme nicely

The Gruffalo is out ATM, too much fun! Will have a look for these though, thanks.

Goodnight Moon is my top choice - really think it's great
Dr Seuss (lots are too long but some are pretty easy readers and a bit less intense)
Where The Wild Things Are
My Cat Likes To Hide In Boxes
The Owl and the !!!!!cat ETA sigh... you can guess what the word is... it's political correctness gone mad here at MSE!

are a quick selection of favourites here. Also Buster's Day and Dear Zoo, which have flaps and are therefore a bit active maybe, but Buster's Day ends with him going to sleep in his bed so that's always good.

Dear Zoo is a big shouty book in MFD towers Lots of our books have actions or involve various noises and words.

Will have a look at your others though



Hope your furniture arrives when you are ready for it.

I hadn't thought of traditional nursery rhymes although knowing him he will probably know them all (damn you childminder :D)

Thomas the Tank creates uproar!!!


Thanks for all the fab ideas guys :T
