I didn't take the 
as humour. I don't recognise the cliché.
Say what you have to say, this is an open discussion area.

Evening quiche!
E is 19 months in a few days. Time really flies. Had him weighed at clinic today out of curiousity, he is 29.5lbs. Wish I knew how tall he was, I need to see if I have a hope in hell of measuring him really!
I think I love this age. I love some of this age, most of this age. I do not love being smacked, and I do not love him being so difficult at meal times and I do wish he didn't have such selective hearing. Also wish he hadn't ever learned to throw, too! Those points aside, he is very fantastic :) He is hilarious and so cheeky and very sweet and loving most of the time. Today I watched him tell the dog a bunch of shapes, he did square, rectangle, oval, circle, star and heart. He pointed to each one and said them (not very well some of them, but still). He has done shapes for a while but I actually thought he'd forgotten them as he always runs off when I try to get him to do things like colours or shapes. The HV seemed amazed today at how well he knows body parts too, he had a doll and he could point out head, hair, ears, eyes, nose, mouth, cheeks, chin, eyebrows, arms, legs, knees, hands, fingers, feet, toes, bum, belly and back. He also kept saying weelee and pointing between its legs, because he has a weelee so I guess he assumed the dolly should have one too!
oooh lily and chasing hope you guys have much fun! :) Hope the flight is ok lily
pp I don't think you were BU to tell the parent, but I also think her weight/size and the smoking aren't really relevant, sorry. Also didn't recognise it as a cliché but I don't frequent other parts of MN often tbf.
yw that is SO sweet, and very clever of him with his monkeys!
I caught the second half of that programme so have recorded it as it looked ace
hope you feel better soon pikz
hugs pr how very sad :( x
night vq hope you have a good night
glad you had a night time gt :)
Can't remember what else I wanted to say

bp quads? Huh? 
Joking aside, I would have loved twins first time around so I would only have to go through this once but not liking the idea now I have a toddler to look after.
chasing and lily love that you are having a mini quiche meetup. Have fun and take some pics for us won't you?
I'm enjoying this age. Apart from the hitting and throwing things phase C is great fun. We watch movies together snuggled up on the sofa, he cuddles and kisses me all the time and learns new skills every day. Then again each stage so far has been my favourite until the next one comes along.
pr so sorry about your friend. It must be really hard being so far away 
We are looking at nurseries tomorrow. My parents look after C when I'm at work so there is no need for it really but I think there are lots of benefits to nursery and C would get enjoyment out of playing with other kids his age. Is there anything in particular I should look out for on our visits and what questions should I ask?

Sorry you had a rubbish night vq 
You too pr I'd hate that and that's coming from someone who really feels the cold. My dp sometimes gets up at ridiculous o clock on the weekends and will put ours on, drives me mad.
I also had a really shitty night. I ended up in S's cot with her. The floor was hurting my back, and I worked hard to get her out of our bed so didn't want to bring her back in.... Although I am aware that I'm just starting a whole new thing for her by getting in her cot.
Anyhoo..... Quick question about breakfast. I've just given S bran flakes with raisins, with the milk in the bowl all grown up like, but, is that a suitable breakfast? Or should I be sticking to weetabix/ready brek/porridge that kind of thing?

We are the opposite in I'm the one who gets cold (because fh gets so hot he has a fan on ) can he use an extra blanket. That's what I go.

Girls used to like Bran Flakes I would not worry.
Right. Ladies. I do reAlise I am becoming a bit of a bore. But. WEEDING.
I read something yesterday about being therapeutic, I think the being outside and concentrating on something, it does feel like that. But also today I CAN HARDLY MOVE. Granted, I weeded till about 8:30 pm. But what fab exercise.
thinks about starting weeding with a veiw holidays.

J is poorly and has been sick three times this morning the poor little lad. It's a shame as the Omeprazole seemed to be working and he has been in less pain plus able to sleep at night. He's not keeping anything down though so no Omeprazole today. It's ironic as we were at a dodgy barbecue yesterday but J was the only one who didn't eat anything as we brought food for him. DH is wrangling DS1 and DS2 but he has to go to China in ten minutes.
J's new bed has arrived, any tips for the transition from cot to bed?
