Tv, dvds

He doesn't sit still though. He's forever climbing or cruising round room. He has almost grown out of cuddles too !

can you shut yourself in one room (living room say) and camp out on the couch and let him go mad?

Is your DH able to look after DS tomorrow?

Are you dosed up to take the edge off the flu too?

If dh is there then why don't you go back to bed and why didn't he take ds to the supermarket?!

I'm full of lemsip thanks ladies.
Dh has had ds all day and took him out so I could stay in bed but he has a long standing boys day tomorrow and I really don't want to stop him going. Dh has been super lovely today!
