J was up at 4, but Daddy got up with him (miraculous) so I stayed in bed until 8am. His 4 incisors have been coming through for months, and are sore. Once they are through, that will be him at 16 teeth.

yes, the next 4 aren't expected until 2+ so i thought we'd get a break. he slept through till 6:45 in the end so manageable apart from my weird zombie dream

oh and he worked out the baby gate yesterday so now i can't even pee in peace

Hmm.. Went upstairs to get something and glanced out of my bedroom window. There is a 'for sale' sign that has been perched against a fence right in front of the house. Now I'm worried that the landlady is selling up.

I haven't heard from her lately or had any missed calls but I have heard of people who found out the landlord was selling up by coming home and seeing a board up.

More likely to be teenagers messing about and dumping it there but I'm a bit unnerved now.

on a Sunday it'll be drunk students apple especially as it's not actually attached

Spoke too soon. Tooth 10 is poking through. Half way there!

Isn't getting the molars at 2+ a vague guide (like the approximate ages for getting the others) with lots of babies getting them earlier? - my sisters two both had all 20 by 18 months. I bet if I assume six months off before he gets the last four it'll bite me on the ass!!!! (metaphorically speaking) They could be moving and causing pain now even if they don't appear - I'd see that as being as likely as separation anxiety randomly reappearing months later? If he sleeps with calpol you've got your answer Pidj. Only way to test I reckon?

Jonas told me off for the first time yesterday. I was tickling him and he wagged his finger at me and said "No mumma!"

The slide we got at the Jack and Jill sale was the best fiver I've ever spent on J - it has kept him busy for over an hour this morning and nearly two yesterday afternoon. Something he's allowed to climb!

Yep apple drunksters. I think there must be some tng in your contract that says she can' trust do that.

Weird developments here last night. I dropped a note to, probably my oldest, friend, just to say hi and missing her. (We have been friends since we were 12 and even worked for the same company up until recently) anyway, she completely blew me out of the water saying she was having an affair with a woman. I actually feel quite sad for her because she obviously isn't happy where she is, her H had an affair a few years ago, and I just want her to be happy. I want to go round to hers with a bottle of wine and have a big chinwag but I can't.

The landlady has been very good up until now so I doubt it's something she would do. We would be fucked if she did sell up though. Rent on similar houses around here are at least £100-125 per month more than we are paying now. That's how much they have gone up in three years.

sophia does she have kids? Why is she still there if she's so unhappy?

Oh Soph that's the hardest thing when you make a big move - not being able to take everyone you love with you . Can you Skype her later maybe when her H is out - next best thing?

Apple in theory they shouldn't be able to sell from under you but that's only true if they give you less than two months notice. I bet with the timing the sign appeared - it's drunks - I'd have expected an estate agent round to photograph and measure up before a sign appeared if it were for real.

Tbh I thought she and her DH had moved things on, obviously no. She has two kids who are In their teens.

Skype might be a nice idea over the week.

Oliver James is on BBC1 talking about about emotional abuse.

calpol isn't settling him that's why i think separation anxiety

Soph that must be really hard I am sure she would appreciate a Skype chat as YW said x

Pidj, O is showing signs of separation anxiety again at the moment. It seems to be something that comes in waves.

Have you been away from him recently for a big chunk of time? Jonas likes to punish me if I do .... with a bit of separation anxiety though thankfully it's a daytime only activity here!

I admitted a lady and her newborn baby last night, she went to labour ward as that was wherethey had a sideroom so she could bf. I bumped into the mw who delivered F, saw the delivery room she was born in, and oggled at heaps and heaps of newborn babies. I AM BROODY!!

YW only for a morning or afternoon with my SIL or mum, which is irregular but something he's used to, enjoys and hasn't had any effects before. He spent Sunday afternoon with SIL but it didn't start till Wednesday. Wednesday morning he was with my mum 10-12ish while I had my interview, then 12-4 Friday afternoon. The longest we've ever been apart was mid-afternoon to mid morning but that was back before Christmas. He's not sleeping well enough at the moment, especially as he's more unsettled in his travel cot, to be left over night and I always leave for work after bed time so he doesn't know I'm not there iyswim. 'Tis a mystery, hopefully one with a nice quick resolution

Soph skype for sure. That's a huge thing for her to be facing up to, both the decline of the relationship and her own sexuality

PP 18 month spurt/sleep regression is my bet.

hope so vq although we're 6 weeks early - r is at the younger end of the quiche iirc

Yes a lot for the friend to deal with. Coming to terms with it yourself is one thing and then having to tell your husband and children is quite another.

C has got tuna and sweetcorn sandwiches and a banana for lunch. He's mashing the sandwich with the banana and making little holes in it with his fingers. When do they learn table manners?

PP as with the teeth it is a general guide. It could be. I could be many things, complicated creatures that they are.

Tooth nr 13 arrived today. How funny. Explains a lot of things.

How do you stop your children to stand up on sofa???

Lily remove the sofa. It is the only way to stop them I attempt to tell J no, firmly, and place him on his bottom. I also attempt to tell him to sit down. He usually laughs at me.

Yep, same here. Sofa must stay though.

With my PFB I had cushions all along the floor around it
