Hurrah better nights all round then. My two small ones managed 4 hours and occasionally FIVE hours between feeds last night and I went to bed at 9pm and didn't have to get up til 1am so I got FOUR HOURS IN A ROW! Glad yours was good too marmite.
Very excited about our May meet up and also a good idea about maybe a meet up with just adults in Aug or something. As mentioned before we have a spare double bedroom so anyone who wants to can stay here (you can all sleep in it together!!!!!!). Alternatively I could maybe maybe stay overnight in London at my sis or parents house if DH can stay home with ALL three DCs overnight (all depends on how the night sleep is going by then). Anyway am sure we will work something out.
So... Phono whereabouts are you? I was in Putney until last summer and so about 10-15 mins walk from the Half Moon. Is yours the same Half Moon? I know there is another one in Herne Hill which is 10 mins walk from my parents, so probably others around, not that I am doubting that it is the same one but I remember you saying you "kind of" lived in London so thought you were further out.
Anyway, Fred, I think you did the right thing re your brother. Well worded text and means you don't feel you have left anything unsaid (except "ditch the bitch" perhaps...) and the ball is in his court.
Thanks for advice re DS1. I know ignoring is a great tactic, and my lovely doula certainly manages it with DS1 if he tips stuff over the floor or gets a bit overexcited with her etc, but when he actually intentionally throws a HEAVY object, having already thrown a slightly less dangerous one and been told not to, it is very very hard not to react, esp as I didn't even know if he had hurt DS2.
Ahhh, just looked over and DS1 is sitting on his pirate chair like this one but with snuggle sac still folded inside watching Something Special and looking uber cute .
