I know where it is now, near the esculators. I remember seeing it when I bought some Christmas decorations as it was on the same floor.

Noah really isn't happy today, I think he's having a bad week. Monday was injections, Tuesday he bumped his head at soft play and today he had his hair washed. poor boy.

I may have to bow out graciously of the kiddicare meet! The logistics are a nightmare and it would take two hours from here!

I hadn't realised how tricky hedge end would be

If you have any more meets in less epic locations please do let me know though x

Oh no that's a shame, it's difficult when you're restricted to school run times too though.

Thankyou for all the support peeps I think I was worse than George! He fell asleep in the car on the way to the Drs having fed just before we needed to leave which was ok until we went in to see the Dr! He screamed blue murder whilst the Dr checked his hips, mouth etc but that said, if someone woke me up to strip me naked & fiddle with me then I think I'd be a bit miffed too It made me chuckle because if he'd just have listened to me then I could have made his life easier! He finally gave in when he wanted to check his eyes & spine & said 'can you just...?' which I took to mean calm him down so picked him up with his head on my shoulder & George allowed him to look in his eyes etc with just a little grumble

This is when is got tough for me. Went back out to wait for the nurse & George decided he was hungry, a dummy & cuddle will normally suffice for a bit & the nurse was quick to call us in but because he was already stressed by the Dr he just wanted milk. The nurse wanted me to hold him close to my chest but that's not great when he just wants feeding & he got so stressed out I had to ask for her to get someone to hold him because he just wouldn't settle enough for her to do his jabs unless I'd have fed him I felt terrible & got quite teary but once it was done we had mummy & George snuggles, I gave him a feed & he was much happier!

He's been quite snuggly & sleepy since, a bit fussy when he feeds but I know I always feel pants after injections I've not taken the tape & cotton wool off his legs yet though, I'm going to do that later when Daddy is home from work too!

I hope everyone is having a good day I'm going to try & get some tea now seen as George is snoozing between feeds!

:rotfl:Uhm, yes, so would I!

Glad he's OK, hope you are too - I think these things are always worse for the parents than for the babies

My poor little one has her hair washed every evening and she's not a fan, but she tolerates it because she knows she gets to play with the water jug afterwards She's got masses of curly hair and if it isn't washed daily with de-tangling shampoo and conditioner, brushed twice a day with a de-tangling brush and treated once a day with a a softening product, we end up with unbrushable lumps at the back. Which, let's face it, would be worse than having her hair washed, but it's a bit difficult to explain that to an 11-month-old

Speak for yourself, I'd be delighted (circumstance dependant of course :rotfl:)

Her beauty regime is better then mine!

Noah hair goes curly when he's sweaty/stressed.

noah is now officially in the "Clarks shoes club". We have to go back and have his pic done though as their camera didn't work.
