she can travel quite far and in her cot I keep having to rescue her as she starts at the bottom and ends up wedged at the top.

I used to tuck the end of Alice's sleeping bag under the end of the mattress.

Morning! Afternoon!

We were at the Drs at 8:50 this morning :eek: Christopher has a post viral rash, it looks awful bless him. He's feeling alot better today, been dancing to the tesco CC helpline hold music lol.

How weird is this 'pram' http://babymeadows.com.sg/gelite-1/gelite-nana-knapsack-carrier-!!!-stroller.html I saw a LO in it on Sophie le Giraffe's FB page and had to find out what it was because it was funny looking.

Becles, hope Charlotte behaves better soon. Does she get any naps at nursery? It does sound like maybe she's just running herself ragged and under the negative influence of this other girl - bad combo, unfortunately.

No, they don't have naps. It's joined onto the school and her class is half nursery and half reception children with a teacher and a nursery nurse. They all play together some of the time, then they split and nursery do things like rhymes and counting games while reception learn things like Jolly Phonics and more structured maths.

Her daily timetable has changed a lot. She used to get either picked up by my Mam or I drop her into there house about 9am. She used to have lunch about 12.30pm, then my Mam would drop her in here about 1.30pm. We'd walk the dogs and then play until the boys came in at 4pm, then she plays with them while I cook tea and stuff.

Now she's still with my Mam by 9am, but nursery starts at 12.30pm so she's getting her lunch about 11.15am. She gets a carton of milk there, then they have a snack table with fruit, cheese, bread sticks and stuff on as they think children should graze. She's a human dustbin and I suspect she's pigging out on everything! I pick her up at 3.30pm and by the time we walk home and get her changed out of her uniform, the boys are in and she plays with then.

I don't know if the early lunch and afternoon snacking are contributing to it, as I've notice she doesn't eat much of her tea now. On a weekend where she has lunch and no afternoon snacks, she clears a huge plateful at tea time.

She has a massive bald patch where she has rubbed her hair off - shes like a monk lol.

Charlotte had a bald patch like that as she was really late in sitting up. She used to wriggle over to the sofa with her legs pulled up on her chest and her bum touching the sofa, then straighten her legs quickly and as we have laminate floor, she shoot across the floor at top speed :rotfl: I think that rubbed her hair out!

This is a pic I took of Charlotte and the dogs on Saturday:

Loving the baby updates and pictures. Sophie is almost 5 months :eek::eek:
She's very happy, noisy and wriggly, but won't do anything unless she feels like it - try and make her and you get a dirty look! She doesn't really move about in her sleep, she lies so still sometimes I spend half the night sticking my ear next to her head to hear her breathe

We've been going to baby sing and sign, which she really likes, although she's one of the younger babies there. This morning, she was playing with a windchime, which absolutely captivated her.

CAFC, I know what you mean about weaning. We're going to try BLW, although OH is still trying to get his head around the concept. His son is 19, so he just remembers mush and stuff like that.

That's a lovely pic, Becles. I meant to say earlier, I'm also having a few problems with Amelie at the moment, so I really sympathise. I just can't seem to get A to listen, no matter what I do, and I'm pulling my hair out. I'll tell her not to do something, and she'll literally do it a minute later. She put a wrapper in the bin yesterday and DH told her not to put her fingers in her mouth after touching the bin - two steps later and she was licking her fingers!!!! I seem to be constantly telling her 'don't do this, don't do that - I'm boring myself!'
Sami - I'm pleased Christopher's feeling better.

Oh, can anyone help with ideas please?
A's school are holding a rainbow fair on Friday and they've asked for her to bring in red things for their stand to sell. I suggested cookies or cakes with red icing, but apparently they've got a separate baked goods stand. I really don't know what to give her, I can't think of anything, short of going out and robbing a circus lorry of red noses!

That sounds like Alice sometimes - you speak to her and you know she's heard but it doesn't seem to register in her mind. We've just started making her get dressed/undressed on a bath mat because she'll do things like keep running wildly round her room while you're trying to help her no matter how many times she's been told to stand still. I think it's worked because it makes the instruction more concrete.
