Ooh Inge to start a new thread. So if the last one was the one where they don't sleep, then they'll start to sleep now, yes?

I go back to work next Weds Kitty. DS started properly today. Full day today, tomorrow and Friday. I've just done a lovely yoga class and am using the next few days to have lunches, get hair cut etc. miss DS though.

pear definitely want to hear all TTC details! I'm beginning to accept that I will do it all again but not yet!

Sorry! Here. Dh is home from his business trip and now I'm mothering 3 boys and a girl again. He's just in denial on how much shiz needs to be done before we can leave on WEDNESDAY and he just keeps saying how "easy" everything is going this time as we I prepare for the trip.

Googley-eye in the poo would probably make me scream. EWW! LOL, you poor thing!

Time for a new bed where your husband doesn't get to wear in a dent on one side. LUcky gal!

I don't think I inspect bpears poo enough to spot googlly eyes. Gross lol

Frus, it sounds to me like you're going to have a tough time with training whilst still feeding him in the night. Personally I think you'd need to break the feeding habit first. Why are you feeding him in the night? Do you feel he still needs it? I just don't know how you're coping with such disturbed sleep. There is no way I could still have bpear feeding in the night You're amazing!

Ah that's interesting... You did say AF returned after 14 mths for you last time didn't you. Has your bed arrived ?

Great news Frus!

Excellent news

Bpear officially no longer sleeps in the car. V v v annoying Wondering...any chance he may change when he gets older? Anyone have any experience of their Dc changing from not sleeping in car to sleeping? He struggled as a baby and then he changed as he got a bit older and then he hit 1 and stopped.

Uh oh. You know how I brought Xmas stocking fillers in the sale?! Melissa & Doug cardboard food boxes for the kitchen was probably a bit too grown up for my 1 year old son Silly me forgot how a box of popcorn and Cheerios means nothing to him.

We have walking! We were in Somerset at the weekend and he suddenly decided to stroll down the living room. Now he's just letting go of things and taking a little walk all the time. Then wobbles and falls over. Still not really got the hang of getting up to standing without holding on to something (although he's done it once or twice) but he's toddling away. Ridiculously cute.

That's amazing Frus! Well done FrussoBoy!

Babies are sooo cute when they just start to walk but within a month or so they've got the hang of it & you realise they're not a 'baby' anymore but a proper grown-up toddler! Runt's proficient at walking on all flat surfaces now & is nearly there with slopes/bumps. We took them to a farm yesterday & Calf was clinging to us in fear of all the animals (except the goats which were as tall as him but he enjoyed galloping around with!) & Runt refused to hold my hand & just went charging off wherever he went! I only wanted to hold his hand in case he fell over while walking next to nettles but noooo he's Mr Independence now! We did eventually convince Calf that some of the animals weren't terrifying & after he'd watched another couple of children he decided he wanted a donkey ride so marched up to the lady in charge & very politely said "Lady, can I have a hat?" Naturally he ripped it off within 3 seconds of it being put on but did put it back on for his turn & sat perfectly still on the donkey & grinned the entire time! I've never seen him awake, happy/healthy & that calm before! I nearly cried!

bring how's MIL?

I'm here!!! I can't believe it's been so long since I checked but I think I knew there would be loads to catch up on hence putting it off but making it worce
We are all well, tiger is 3 on Sunday we have frozen presents galore and I'm ridiculously excited for her. Kitten has become a terror so much harder then tiger, will she let me put her f£&win nappy on, little Madame, bring I'm glad I'm not the only one with a climber, I've had two of them
Frus I hope you have your new bed and mattress now, what did you have to do about his hit it and run?
Bring how is mil?

On the topic of af returning though, welcome to the club frus has anyone found it heavier the pre child? I can't comment between my first as didn't really have any maybe one but now they are back and regular and so much heavier! Used to only last like 3/4 days now upto a week, I used to be able to wear one tampon all day practically and that was a regular, I put a super in this morning and it was leaking by 10 why?!?!

Kitty I'm not sure. Maybe. The pain is certainly worse. I am also an emotional wreck X 1000 and my skin is terrible I'm a bit confused today. AF wasn't meant to arrive for another 6 days but I had spotting this morning when I woke up and then nothing. What was that all about?! I'm not used to being so all over the place!

Does anyone have a toy Hoover they can recommend?
