I don't know if I'm more shocked by the sex swing chat or yet more accusations of pornagraphic attitudes in my direction. I am whiter than white, snowlike, virginal, chaste, pure, untouched and frightfully shocked that anybody could think otherwise. Scoot and LG&T may be harlots extraordinaire but I wouldn't know as I spend all day every day in my turret doing needlework and singing sweetly.
Scoot, btw, how much do I love guttersnipes as a putdown? Must ease that into conversation as many times as possible today- will phone MIL later, tee hee hee.
LW, be kind to yourself. I still can't work out which way is up most days. Keep an eye though. If you really do feel that you can't cope, have obsessive thoughts, lethargy, numbness, sadness, frequent tears, some, all, none of the above etc, perhaps have a chat with your hv or gp. Mathilda doesn't have sticky out ears but she does have extremely pointy ears which she gets from me. I think we're half-elf possibly. I do own an inordinate amount of clothes with long pointy hoods and floaty bits. DH says I look like a wood elf, but that's probably only when I'm in one of my costumes.
In terms of toys, it's hard to say really. Mathilda likes to talk more than anything. If she can see a human face then she's happy to coo, chat, squeal and giggle for hours. In fact the only way I can get on MN is to angle her bouncy chair so she can see me. She likes her gym thing because she can swipe and shout at the dangly things and has just about worked out how to pull the dangly butterflies (attached by velcro) off it and put them in her mouth. She will look at toys and smile at them as long as I'm waving them at her but doesn't seem to make any effort to pick up rattles herself. She will pick up anything cloth or fabric like and suck it though. She likes anything noisy too, her bouncy chair has a sun dangling above it and if you hit it it plays Row Your Frickin Boat so she will hit that repeatedly until mummy smashes and breaks it. I did read the other day that by 3 months she should be picking rattles up and shaking them but dismissed it as crapola. She has learnt in the last few days how to roll from front to back and as such cannot be left unattended for a second- back to front she mastered weeks ago. Oh and she loves books, I read them to her, she stares at the pictures and slowly leans forwards until she can suck the corner of the book. Great fun. Three Little Pigs is her favourite because silly mummy does great huff and puff noises and looks like a prat.
Morning all.
