Oh well done remindmebabe's DS. That's excellent. My CM's girls have both just learnt to do this - one is turning 7 this month and the other is 5, he's obviously ver talented in the balance department 
I didn't realise that my DS had this shy streak until we took him the birthday party of one of my NCT group - a big one, lots of family, kids, in a hall, with entertainment etc. I assumed he'd just join in because he's so confident and talkative at home, but he clung like a limpet. He did eventually peel himself off and join in when the singing/dancing happened but it was a real insight that how he is with me one-on-one is not how he is when his CM takes him to playgroups etc. Lots of the comments she'd made suddenly became clear. 
. I don't mind it, it just makes me more conscious that when we start him at a nursery (trying to get some slots now) it'll need to be sensitively.
I'm feeling much better today, actually was fine yesterday but tired. I don't think it was food poisoning, just a week of different diet and more spicey food than I'd eat regularly. I love Indian food too, and it was great in Delhi. Our team in the office there normally bring in food from home and share it in a communal lunch, so I ate a lot of dishes that aren't normally on the menu back here - a really lovely aubergine dish, different breads, and the cheese (paneer) curry, mmm, yummy. Nothing was hugely hot, just really nicely spiced, some things with more heat than others.
Woke with puffy eyes after another meltdown last night. I'm finding this so much harder this time around. The disappointment and 'this is so unfair' feelings are really amplified and sticking around. Last night's one was caused by what had been a really lovely conversation DH and I had been having about DS and how he was developing and just the realisation that he's 2 1/2...I went from 'wow, he's two and a half' to 'oh my god, the gap is going to be so much bigger than I thought it would be' in about 3 seconds and dissolved. Got mad at DH because he doesn't seem to be grieving as hard as I am.
Ah it's shit isn't it.
Anyway...
Sorry if that's put a dampener on things. Just need to get it out sometimes.
D'you know I suspect one of the reasons things came to a head last night, was because the night before I had an incredibly vivid dream about being pregnant and going into labour. Was an odd dream, and I don't remember actually giving birth in it, but I guess it just stirred it all up.
Jolls you mentioning the grads list pushed me into going and having a read - felt very odd indeed. Caribou, see I think I just dived straight in - obviously didn't have any impact on outcome - but I think one of things I hate about MC the most is the way it robs you of the chance to enjoy the idea of being pregnant. I think that really, we know we can't 'jinx' it, and I don't think denial really helps it hurt less if it doesn't work, so may as well enjoy it (as much as possible) for as long as it does.
This is long and meandering post, isn't it 
. See you tomorrow ladies
