Swimming did not go well. He really screamed. I was feeling sorry for him and feeling embarassed and then feeling guilty for feeling embarassed because it wasn't his fault. I took him out and calmed him and tookhim in again but he started screaming again so I stood at the side with him and watched.
LBH Hope today at work goes as wellas possible. I am guessing you work at DC? It is a beautiful building.
SG Likewise when you go back. It sounds tough but at least you know it will only be a few months before you are on maternity leave again. We went to Brockwell park in the autumn and it was lovely. I haven't been to the lido for years (last time was a Sunday Best party, God knows how long ago) but maybe this summer.
Mamaloco I am SO sorry your neighbour is being so unpleasant. Do ignore her ridiculous, outdated advice. Babies should not be left to cry to 'toughen up'. Makes me
and
to hear such ideas are still given credence anywhere.
BG I get very upset when I hear of sad stories in the news, particularly about things happening to children. You immediately think of how you'd feel in their place. .
Well, one bit of good news from me is that DH and I 'did it' last night. It was really good! He came to bed before 11 and I had been thinking about what IC and Abs had said about not getting complacent. So, yeah. I think I was also feeling a bit more attractive as I'd had to do all that pruning to get ready for swimming.
