Lets all list how old our DC's were when they first sat, crawled, walked,cut teeth, learnt colours, could count to 100, pottytrained, stopped using a buggy, requested quinoa for lunch, composed their first symphony etc etc

Just so people can stop posting those thinly veiled attempts to compare their children with others

And maybe distract attention from the fecking class threads.

god knows
the only think I remember is when she lost her first tooth (only cos it was in teh last month)
Can people really remember this sort of stuff?

I have some hope of remembering it for DS1 - realised the other day that I don't even REMEMBER when DS2 started walking

i wrote it all down in his red book, without realising i set myself up for a fall, because i'll have to do it with any SNC's! stoopid stoopid.

My 5 year old has developed a taste for Quail Eggs. I despair. His younger brother is copying everything he does, I fear I now have to go buy quail eggs weekly, rather than normal eggs, they are such a palaver to peel (on the plus side, they are quick to cook_)

Thank you for allowing me to share this piece of information.

well my ds ate olives and sundried tomatoes for the first time on Wednesday.

he also tapdances and will be starring in his first musical next week...

We clearly all need to buy a £1,042.46 baby record book

Or we are just terrible parents

The wonderful thing is by the time they go to school they can all walk just as well each other.

some of us never get the hang of proper sentences though. or typing.

Choccypig - are you stalking me!

I wrote down in the red book, some of the baby things, like eye contact etc, but none of the main things like rolling over and walking. But today I remembered that ds was just , just walking when we went to Florida, so from the dates that dh on the pictures >, I should be able to fill in the red book with that atleast.
I FEEL SO GUILTY.
Why didn't I record all this ??????

erm, erm...

er, they both walked at about a year, ds1 got his first 2 teeth at 3 months and I only remember that because he used to chew my nipples, I can't remember when ds2 got teeth.

colours, counting...not a clue.

Potty is an easy one - they were about 6 years old!!!
pushchair, about 4 years old!
Talking was about 5 and 6 when they started saying actual words to us rather than at us!

I have no idea what quinoa is and there's never been a symphony - does cacophany count?

And now I feel like the most crap, uninterested mother in the world. Most mums can reel this stuff off.

my eldest walked at 10 months
dd1 walked at 12 months
ds2 walked at 13 months

but the twins could be the other way round - can't remember.

cant remember teeth

colours

alphabet

fuck
cant remember anything.

I know my dd was a relatively late walker but for the life of me can't remember her exact age and SHE IS ONLY 23 months now! How bad is that?

is quinola like cous-cous ?
Oblomov can't remember jackS**t about when ds did things - so don't ask her about ......

WTF IS cous-cous anyway?

I mean, I know what cous-cous looks like, I know what it 'tastes' like (I use the word taste..hahahaha) but I ask again...

WTF

Is it the divine wrath of god? Thou hast defied me, eat cous-cous and repent.

Sat - can't remember.
Crawled - can't remember.
Walked - ten and half months.
Cut teeth - six months.
Learnt colours - 2 and a half-ish
Counts to hundred - she can count to ten (3.3)
Potty-trained - never. Went straight from nappies to loo in one afternoon.
Stopped using a buggy - we'll carry on using it for ages for long distances
Made her first sole decision on clothing purchase - 21 months

what the cous cous that has zero taste unless you use zillions of oil, chilli and lemon stuff into it?
Mind you have you ever noticed that most chefs use handfulls, literally handfulls of salt - so I am assuming that they too think thata food doesn't taste of much.

QS - Moulin Roty (French toy brand) does a great tiny china egg cup that fits quail eggs beautifully - so the children can eat them boiled, with the top off (with matching toy spoon).

Saves peeling

Hecate - I am being an irritating know-all today but technically it is a pasta - they make it by mixing flour and water.

Ah.

I wonder who came up with that idea and why they hate us all.

DD walked well (swapped crawling for walking) at 8months, at nearly 3yrs old now she is one of the laziest kids I know and refuses to walk anywhere so we still use the buggy. Hmmm, maybe my fault for giving in and using the buggy!

Only thing I can remember is that ds didn't walk until 17 months. He used to shuffle on his knees instead. With his upper body upright. Looked harder than actually walking, tbh, very odd indeed.

He could count to ten by about 20 months though - no idea where he got it from, he just came out with it. Startled us/the nursery workers/ other parents at nursery who overheard him. No other signs of budding genius to date.

DS1- walked at ten months, spoke at 12 months, loves olives and mozarella and has autism and dyslexia (just to prove early achievement of these things stands for sod all, at 8 still cannot spell own surname)

DS2- walked at 11 months, spoke at a year, sat at 6 months, all fine

DS3- walked at 15 months, spoke at 18 months then lost it around 3 years and restarted recently. Is 4.5 and Autistic.

My eldest ds was a late walker - 17months, he was also late out of nappies - 3-and-a-half yrs. He's five now and it hasn't made any difference to his development at all. I've now got a 14 mth old son (still crawling) and if one more person asks me if he's walking yet, I think I'm going to explode!!!!!

Don't remember
Don't care that I don't remember
