Ooh this EWFL sounds like a doozy! (Is that how you spell it?!) I will have to catch up with it. May watch in front of the Caglets too, they are developing a penchant for crappy reality TV 😳 and it’ll be interesting to see what they make of it. I want them to be more involved in the shopping once we’ve moved - still plan to get a weekly Tesco delivery with heavy stuff, but we will be much nearer a huge Asda and a small Tesco, so well-planned top ups (if such a thing exists 🤔) could be the way forward, I’d love them to have more input and budgeting practice with choosing meal ingredients etc. Apart from anything else, cooking should become a bit more enjoyable with more counter space (although still have fussy DS to contend with).
Wreck you do the weight screening don’t you? It must be hard when parents ignore the result. I actually weighed DS today after myself, as DD1 was measured at the paediatrician recently due to being on medication (melatonin for sleep) but DS doesn’t see anyone. I worry more about his weight but according to the NHS thing his BMI is well within the healthy range too, just higher within the green bit than DD1 who is near the bottom end of healthy. I do sometimes measure waist and height though as the ratio is important too apparently. My grandma and mum and I are all overweight (very) I would really like to break this cycle. Especially as DGM has type 2 diabetes.
Activity is important too, I was brought up very sedentary such that even “going for a walk” was totally unheard of, any climbing or jumping or running was “too boisterous”, it’s a lot to unlearn. I’m lucky that DH is a fit runner and that’s really rubbed off on my two especially since they now do so many clubs including his sports classes, but what I really want is for it to be a whole family affair rather than something I have to sit out on well I’m not well enough. Which is still a lot sadly. But it is improving (ridiculously hot weather notwithstanding... my POTS is really acting up ATM) and hopefully being walking distance to town, and near a big park, will help further.
Must stop waffling now! 😳
