And fingers crossed figgy for your DH. Anti-puke vibes for minimopsy!

[Aethelfleda]

Hiya.... Sympathies for the awful travel... It's just one of those things that no-one picks to do, but is just how it worls out. DD currently obsessed with "pleyn DAAWW!" (An aeroplane jigsaw from late Great-Granny)
And we're all drip-drying from the school run. DD2 is Peppa Incarnate and loves jumping up and down in muddy puddles...

[Figster]

The sky is faaaaaalling!!!!

Its vile out ds been to dr this morning we now have a cupboard full of movical for him to get him regular, the dr weighed and measured him he was 14.5kg and 91.5cm so half way betweeen 91st and 98th centile perfectly in proportion. he has been swimming and had PIL round to watch him and then came round here for a visit.

Uhoh had to go pick up Minimopsy from nursery. Massive vomiting Poor wee baba. Currently sleeping on my chest. No chance of getting any work done so think I'll watch the latest episode of 'Call the Midwife'...

[ifyourehoppyandyouknowit]

We've got our assessment in a couple of weeks.

Soft play and coffee with the mummies today. Sick of this bastard rain.

[OiMissus]

As for "reviews", there are slips in the red book for first review, 6-8 week review, 1 yr (Boi had his at 9 months?) then 2-2.5 yr review, and a 3-5yr. But she said that there wouldn't be any more.
Also, when I mentioned it to the cm, she said that she had to do one at the same time as part of the EYFS. So I'm waiting for her report.

[OiMissus]

According to the red book (found and dusted off for the assessment) the next immunisations are at 3 yrs 4 months.- diphtheria, tetanus, polio pre school booster, and then the second MMR.

[Figster]

Cripes northern that really is crap traffic woes

[NorthernChinchilla]

And love the pissed off little German Boba

[NorthernChinchilla]

Ha! My singing is terrible and yet DS loves it. Grins and gets me to sing more nursery rhymes to him. Just goes to show the little buggers have no taste

mopsy I have no idea either- DS hasn't been weighed or measured since he was 9 months, so I haven't a clue. We've already had to move him up to age 3-4 for most clothes, and will doing the final bits in Feb, so I'm guessing he's just 'big' Ditto no idea on the jabs... aethel, help!!

I'm joining what seems to be a thread theme of crap work travel- took 1hr 20 mins to get home tonight, a distance of all of 3-4 miles, and I had to get off the bus and walk the last mile of the route as traffic was solid..then the 1.5 miles I'd have to do anyway. Still, good exercise

[mopsytop]

Do they do these two year checks everywhere? We haven't heard anything... I've no idea how much minim weighs or how tall she is. She was 50th centile all through her first year for weight and the one time she was measured she was also 50th centile for height. When are they supposed to have the next round of immunisation?

[Figster]

Cripes DS was 33lbs quite a while ago 98th centile weight and height need to measure/weigh again since they didn't bother at 2yr check. Need to take him to dr his constipation is regular and he needs lactulose to go cm texted to say he had an ungodly nappy today.....don't want him getting dependent on laxatives

3 day weekend ahead now .........shame have nothing planned

[OiMissus]

Boi is 13kg, and still tracking the 75th percentile (steady since birth). No one has ever measured his height.
...I reckon he's about 6ft.

[TheOnlySeven]

When I sing she puts her hands over her ears and runs out of the room screaming :o

DD1 had her two year review today, scored all at the high end of the white area so she's doing well. She's 26lb, measuring around 50th centile for both height and weight.

[ProfessionalKiller]

I just get "nooooo Mummy nooooooo" for everything!

[mopsytop]

Me three Oi! 'No singin' mama'

[Faffin]

It's not just you oi, I get told to stop singing too

[OiMissus]

I like the " me do it mine self" idea, and "no mummy, go WAY" the best.
BOi often shouts at me "stop singing, mummy! Stop singing! No singing, mummy!" Is that just me?

[Faffin]

Dec '11 - "Why?"
Or
Dec '11 - "Me do it mine self"

Those are the things I hear all the time at the moment! DD moaned to me the other day that DS was just saying why to everything...getting a taste of her own medicine!

Hope things get sorted for you kitten

Sorry to hear of the extended journey home mopsy

Good luck for the interview Mr figgy

[mopsytop]

Ugh got stuck at work... car had no oil and had to wait nearly 2 hrs for RAC (I'll be checking the oil more regularly in future!) only got home just before ten. Yuck

[BobaFetaCheese]

Dec 11- MEINE. No mummy touch MEINE POO. MEINE POOOOOOOOO.

Sounds like a really pissed off little German.

Fig, how's the hair looking?

Hop, sounds lovely! Although I did think at first, fecckin hell she's planning in advance, days meld into one as a SAHM.

Period started tonight, after DH bought lovely expensive things for me to wee on. GRRH.

[ifyourehoppyandyouknowit]

I've booked a week off in Feb, I'm going to take DS out of nursery for a day or two and do some fun days out. Feel like we need more quality time with just the two of us.

Aw aethal, she sounds such a sweetie.

How about Dec2011, they really weren't lying about the twos.

[Aethelfleda]

Dec '11: BWWWAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

(This especially applies between 5pm and 6.30, where DS is inexplicably Demon Leg-Cling Child, usually just as I need to make dinner. Mashing potatoes with a leg motif of toddler is an interesting fashion choice.)

We've been watching Outnumbered series 1. Then caught the last 5 mins of the new (final) series on BBC1: forgot to PVR it so will have to watch on iplayer or summat. The kids in it are all so grown-up! It will be like that with our LOs, I look at my big two and they are already miles away from being two!

(DD2 (who's 6) snuggled up to me today and said "mummy, do you want to know a secret? I don't really think I feel like a big girl. I only feel, mm, y'know, about five....")
I'm about fifteen, me.....

[NorthernChinchilla]

Oooh, good luck for your DH figster. Can't believe the journeys you've had, nearly 6 hours there and back to work ?! Please tell me you don't have to go to Head Office often.
And sorry to hear about the haircut incident, I know Xiao suffered the same- do you have any pics, or is it really that bad?

DS was a total little sod yesterday morning, trying to get onto "Momma Chair" whilst I'm sitting in it trying to eat breakfast, failing, giving a good go at biting me in the ribs and when that was not well received hitting me. Amongst other things.
Today of course, it's been sweetness, light and giggles...gah!

Glad you're at least back in the 'system' now Kitten, and at least have some meds to start off. MH teams are under such pressure at the moment, I do hope you get seen quickly and get the treatment you need.
How are all the Spawn doing at the moment, I know winter tends to be bad for chests/breathing/asthma etc?

Now, thread titles, based on the above...
Dec 11- The March of the Toddler Tyrants?
Dec 11- "No Mummy, goWAY"
