The Spring Chat

[sfxmum]

ok finally Christmas is over

SJ - We did part BLW. It was great. I couldn't stand making the purees after about 1 month. Does ds2 posset/vomit his milk? Dd never had a problem with that. If she did, I think BLW would be scarier as there would be more gagging/choking.

PCW and tilly - thank you.

SJ,that's what I did - started on puree and then graduated to baby led weaning pretty quickly - for a while we did a mix. We have a wooden floor in the dining room but nevertheless, food still seems to get spattered all over the cream wall behind the highchair plus on the door! ds likes to grab a handful of food and wave it around wildly There is no escaping the mess!

Morning, everyone else - hope you are all well today, Tilly that's good news regarding the swimming, we are working on that here as well, dd goes with dh every Sunday and I am signing up to classes during the summer hols. Off now to hang out the washing and stop loitering on here, slacker that I am

good morning all

slow and easy start here did not wake up until nearly 9 then stayed in bed reading stories whenever we get ready we will be heading out to Sheen

about swimming I think I need to get dd some lessons I have swam since forever but have no clue how to teach really, besides I learnt how to swim in the sea, I expect my parents worried less for our safety

Good morning!

I'm strangely wishing it's not so sunny. My eyes hurt...

SFX - I have a book on how to teach children to swim . We are stuck at the stage where they have to try putting their heads underwater...

Slng - what's worng with you eye? have you had it checked out? Hope it improves soon

Tilly - did you just take DS swimming or have you started classes? Must try and see if there are any classes which coincide with preschool then I can take DS2

Sfx - learning to swim in the sea must've been exhilerating. My mum learnt to swim in a well with snakes in it

Museli - nice to catch up with you earlier

PCW - will probably do a similar approach, can't see that I'll be doing the purees for long as I just don't have the time. Re: mess good job we're in rented accom

So who's playing out?

such suspense for the link SJ

what a lovely day we went shopping a walk and the playground all rolled into one dd bought the bright pink shoes, of course

I don't remember learning to swim what I do remember is swimming in high sea from boats and big waves on the beach

got some ice cream it is the weather for it] to go with the apple crumble

Sj, its ds1 who's having lessons, though I would like to take ds2 to lessons as well. Richmond pool seem to have lessons on every day in the morning so there will probsbly be one that suits

Have put my name down on the night out thread

And another 3am start!

Sympathies tilly.

I have been sleeping 4/5 hours every night for the last 3 months and that's murder.

Rubbish weather this morning. I was hoping the weather will be nice over the weekend.

Mellow - congrats on the contract, but you must be feeling sad about leaving dd. How long is it for?

Sj - thanks for organizing night out - can't believe you're weening ds2 - where has the time gone?

Hi to all! Work is still good although I killed a server yesterday for 2 hours! Oops. Goodjob it wasn't the mumsnet one eh? Our house sale seems to be going through but once the valuation has been done We'll be more happy. We are looking at loads of houses in Rye, peasmarsh, Romney today. There is a 4 bed one that would make us mortgage free. But the primary school in Peasmarsh seems to be better catered for dd2. So lots to think about.

Mrs R - thanks. I will miss dd. It's a 3 month rolling contract.

Mrs R - Things are certainly moving quickly with your sale. When is the valuation booked for?

Hello all!

On here trying to find out if Marathon would affect trip to Hyde Park...

Had DS2's birthday party yesterday. Luckily weather turned out to be OK after initial rain!

Morning all

Tilly - sympathies, that is tough on the sleep front
Good luck to you DH, have you got your banners at the ready?!

Mellow - sorry to hear you've not been sleeping much either

MrsR - glad your house sale is going well. of moving to Rye area, when are you hoping to move?

Had a lovely day yesterday at a friend's in Egham, late back and late to bed, am tired today

Hoep everyone enjoying the sunshine

Happy birthday to mini-slng!

hello all

pcW thanks for the lift I think the dd's had a proper chat in the back , they are so cute
it meant I went running earlier than expected which was nice

slng happy birthday to minislng, so did you make it to Hyde park?

tilly so how did dh do? nursing soreness and glowing? hope it was a good one

sushi thanks for collecting and delivering 'the package'

no off to read the paper while dh cooks dinner, I hope dd wants to help him

Dh did very well, finished in 5hrs 7mins & we did manage to see him around the 24 mile mark so there was a big cheering section for him, he reckons it helped him finish . Ds1 had fun too telling us all the costumes he could see!

Anyway, have to go & get the boys ready for bed!

Well done Tilly DH - hope he's relaxing in an ice cold bath now!

Nice to see some of you earlier, Sushi - hope your DS feels better soon

Off to book our french trip now, ooh la la

I seem to have missed a meet up today, oh well! Does anyone fancy meeting up on Bank Holiday Monday week after next?

Sj, dh decided against the bath on account of having to step in & out of it . He has gone to get a takeaway though!

good morning all

here I am hoping for a quiet local day

hope everyone is well

morning,

Sfx, we're having a quiet day as well. Ds1 in nursery this morning but he's had two full days of running around so think he could do with a quiet afternoon. And as its raining, we may as well stay at home

apparently I know the mum of someone on a band playing at Latitudeand they are fairly successful, I remember when they started playing pubs in former outfitnearly 6yrs ago
I fell very old now

Morning all

Quiet day for us too after busy weekend plus wet weather not v.inspiring is it? Will do baking, painting today plus lots of Beebies no doubt

Just gave DS2 his 1st baby rice, he wolfed it!

Sfx - which band?

BTW need to get a passport photo for DS2, any suggestions where to get them done?
