Oops bad mother alert, have just noticed DS has fallen asleep on his playgym mat. He's only just stopped making noise, honest. Have been stuffing beans on toast down quickly while he was occupying himself - can relax a bit now.
There, happily tucked up in the pram (him, not me..)
It's amazing isn't it that prior to this legislation people could ask you to leave somewhere for the simple act of feeding your child with the vessels nature intended for the job. Fine to use them to sell trashy mags and newspapers though. you'd think if it was a place to eat, they'd be glad not to be bothered with requests for hot water to heat a bottle up. I mean what do they expect a mother's response will be - "no problem, i'll just remove the food source from my hungry baby's mouth and listen to them scream for the next half an hour while I find somewhere a bit less fascist to feed them in."
Muppet, if it keeps you sane, keep riding. . I used to love it as a nipper. Nothing better than a big beast between your thighs .
Sazzy, lovely dress. I actually went into a Kookai shop the other day and thought - oh yes, clothes. I haven't bought a thing for myself since DS arrived and I'm starting to feel that I need a little bit of me-focus now and again. The woman who runs the baby massage class, who is lovely, also does massage on adults and I'm thinking of treating myself before my money dries up completely in a few weeks' time. Could do with some TLC on my neck and shoulder blades which feel constantly knotted from carting babes around.
Where have people got to? Has anyone heard from Jay or Leo? They've disappeared. Also, I assume Kiwi is still in Oz.
I'm going to take DS to be weighed shortly and am hoping I can get to the clinic and back without getting rained on. Then later my sister's having an end-of-year exhibition for her pupils' work as part of her teacher training course so we're going to that. These days, that sort of counts as a night out, even though it starts at 6.30 and I'll probably be back by 7.30! But still.
