Evening all :) I didn't give e any tea today, and I'm going to talk to my mum tomorrow I think. She is booked in for an elcs Thursday so I reckon she will have her hands full from then and perhaps wont think so much about me doing what I want to do. I think if I be completely honest she'll understand. Dp helps, he said to let Eric decide. He thinks I can offer it in any form but should relax and have faith that he will decide when the time is right. Good dp.
stunt would it work to declutter without him knowing? I do that with dp terrible I know but he stashes so much stuff I can do so without him even noticing!
pr thinking about it although all of us successfully eat food obviously I am the only one who eats practically everything. Of the ones of us she weaned (I'm sure I've mentioned our collected large adopted family) the next one down won't eat any veg bar carrots, next doesn't like onions and mushrooms and sausages and some veg, next doesn't touch most veg, ge'll eat peas and sweetcorn, next doesn't eat anything remotely spicy or some veg's and last is picky with fruit. Just me that is greedy 
, I'm not fond of celery or aubergine and despise packet mash and value fish fingers but thats about it! I promise to try and chill out a bit, really I do
pp not really cos she came to 4 month check with me and argued with hv . I would speak to my hv but last time I got a bollocking because he drinks over 32oz a day so I'm a bit wary. I must add he only drinks as much as he wants.
chasing pleased o enjoyed his cucumber :) I think I will offer it again at some point to e, might even let the poor sod swallow some
That's exactly it jj I am so unsure of my parenting skills as it is that I worry all the time I'm screwing up. If I decide to do something that is considered outside the box, especially with someone as supportive/involved as mum is and it goes wrong I will be a wee bit isolated in regards to what to do if it fails. Having said that I am coming to the conclusion I can't really fail at weaning. Fussiness like pr said probably won't be down to how I wean him and he really won't end up on milk forever or stuck on purées, I've never heard of that happening.
Was the picnic nice mama? Thanks for the luck, I'm going to try the enjoy it approach as sold to me by the quiche :)
Oh chasing don't beat yourself up about letting him go, is he ok now he's home? You're not an awful mother at all. I'm glad they brought him back but your sil wouldve pissed me off royally. Dps grandpa has a habit of waltzing off with e and I know 100% he won't be able to calm him. Last week he tried it and dp swiftly claimed e and said 'no, he needs his mum'. Tis a ballache when people think they can sort your baby out and then end up making them worse with hysterics.
kirrin thanks, I keep trying to emphasise that I'm hoping to keep to healthy things and I have stuck firm so far at least with saying no to him 'just having a gum of this biscuit' etc. I'm sorry you lost your mum :( extra hugs
Sounds like its going well pennie! Sun hats wise e has so far just got the little ones that look like fishing hats, I'd be interested to know if there's anything else I could get him. I got some sun cream today just in case I need it. Factor 50, think that's the right one
evil I've always heard its best for them to get pox young. Nobody will hate you for saying that
To finish an epic post, e had a tiny patch of dry skin on his back about 2 weeks ago, I think, it went a bit bigger and hv said e45 it so I did, anyway he's been having it for about 3 days now and it's all over his back now in patches that look quite sore :( I haven't put the e45 on today, it doesn't look any better but isn't worse either. The today I found a small bit of bumpy red skin on his foot in a crease at the front/on top. Does it sound like eczema? I was going to take him doctors tomorrow with it.
Wow. What a long post. Have done the copy paste thing that somebody suggested with the mn app. Can't fucking lose it if I do that!!!
Hope good nights are had all round :)
