    Afternoon all :)

    Turtle, yay for sleep, and Dizzi, yay for rolling! :j Oh, and Turtle - glad you liked the nursery. I found that visiting nurseries was a bit like viewing properties - you just know when you find 'the one' as it just feels right.

    Went swimming for the last time this morning :o There's a Saturday session at another pool that we could go to, but it involves a one-hour round trip on the bus, so not sure that's going to happen... Went well today though - such a shame we have to stop now that she's really getting used to it and enjoying it. Argh, work - gets in the way of all sorts of fun stuff! :(

    Did some food shopping on the way home, she slept through it as usual (post-swimming is the only time she'll sleep through a trip to Sainsbury's, at any other time she wakes up the moment we go through the door) and then had fun sitting on the kitchen floor with a pile of carrier bags and 'helping' me to unpack the food (by sticking each item in her mouth as she went along, of course! :)) whilst I prepared my lunch.

    I'm planning to spend the weekend copying the nursery routine to help her get used to it - food times etc. are quite different from what she's used to, plus she's never had dessert at home (she looked baffled when presented with another bowl of different-looking stuff at nursery - her face saying 'but I've already eaten my lunch??!...) and we don't tend to have a lot of snacks. Am hoping that by doing this we can also cut back further on milk.

    Hope everyone's having a good day x

    Two questions:

    1) Is it normal to have wrinkles on your boobs?

    2) Is it sad to be excited about a new pair of slippers*?

    :think:

    * They are very soft and fluffy on the inside, in case that helps you answer the question.

    Fantastic news sunshine!!!

    We've just got back from a first birthday party at a soft play place, first time we've been - he loved it! Hopefully he's worn out so will sleep for little bit now. Mummy needs a cuppa ;)
