    Oh no! Can you not just take Henry swimming yourself and paddle around?

    I'm refusing to go on the Amazon site to even SEE what's there. We have no money and I don't need anything, so there. :p

    I could but [STRIKE]I'm lazy[/STRIKE] all the baby sessions are in the mornings and I'm not keen on public pools when it's busy.

    We have a couple of H's presents to exchange so I think we'll do that and go via the playground.
    :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator :p
  • Hi everyone, hope you are all ok, hugs for anyone in need!
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)

    CAFC, a while ago you were asking about something that L could sit in.
    Not remember if you ever went for a jumperoo or L&G, but what about one of these. Looks really cozy.

    Good chapter headings :) suggest also 'don't shave your legs for 18 months and other self-care sacrifices' and '10 things to consider doing instead when you want to sell your baby on Ebay'

    If you'd like to write the text, I will do photography and layout :D
    Can we also have a chapter heading 'You are doing a great job' and 'How to lose friends and alienate people- becoming a baby bore'....we should totally write a book between us, featuring a combination of all our parenting styles :D.

    Excellent - perhaps this could be my work from home, not too difficult, lots of reward, part-time job (that apparently doesn't exist?) ;):D:p

    I'm home from the meet :D

    First of all there were only 2 hairy builders there. Ambers Daddy and Molly's Daddy :D Everyone else was very un-hairy ;)

    What a gorgeous bunch of lovely people :D A had lots of fun, but managed to have several tantrums (hope no one saw the worst one) and couldn't go without getting grumpy when it was sleep time. I feel a bit bad that we had to leave first :( and that I didn't get to chat as much with everyone as I would have liked because A kept running off. Caz found her in the toilet at one point washing her hands :rotfl: then when she went off to 'hide' when it was time to leave guess where I found her ;) She was fast asleep before I'd pulled out of the car park :)

    Thanks everyone :wave: it was fun. Esp to Sugar and Susan who travelled really far to get there.

    Love that WM!

    Henry has also loved his Chicco Quattro ride on since he was about 7/8 months and still really enjoys it now.
