Hello everyone! I haven't been on here for at least a month (ooooh how much more housework do I get done) and great to come back to some lovely news, Twiga and Josey not been on ante thread yet hoping to find you're on the same one! How funny!
All is well, just really busy with paperwork and ds. Dh been really busy and we've barely had him home for a day a week which has been hard, I need so much more sleep just now so get much less done in eves. Can't complain of course, new busines and all that. We nearly went with him this week he was going to the west coast of Spain, but ds was sick at the weekend (well that and my passport expires today!) so couldn't well now he's ended up driving down as far as Lisbon and is getting the 24hr Santander boat back-what a fab week we have missed I'm adamant we'll get one in before I get too huge and rediculous.
Ds's sickness was not much other than that, fell asleep on me at 5pm (v unusual) and was sick at 4am twice, then one morning but otherwise fine. He had croup a few weeks ago we ended up at the dr at 3am, dh was away (prob best actually as he's such a panicker!) and I was a bit concerned at it getting worse, he was really struggling to breathe and we're 75 miles away from hosp. He ended up fine though and the dr was fine about it.
We took the sides off his cot, put on one of those old sides you used to get on bunk beds, so just enough of a buffer if he were to roll on to it and he's been brilliant, has never got up at night and the first 2 days waited on me going to get him! He did manage to slip through the bar one night and ended up stuck at the waist, head on the floor upside down in the dark but luckily he wasn't bothered the next night! He has been waking a few nights though and coming through, so he comes in for 10 mins and is happy to go back to bed (phew) I'm not sure if it's habit or the cold so I'm going to set the heating to come on through the night. What do your los sleep in just now? Ds wears ordinary pjs, and has a cotton cellular nlanket on and a thin fleece&cotton "coverlet" from Mothercare. I'm guessing he kicks them off in the night and ends up cold. I'm thinking fo putting him in a fleecy sleepsuit but wonder how hot they get with them being synthetic- any thoughts anyone?
Ds still a joy htough becoming quite independent, tonight wanted to put his pjs bottoms on himslef so ended up taking them off just to put them on, and this aft wanted to bring through the bowl of grapes I had already brought through, so took them back to the kitchen and came back through with them!
Toilet functios are great- if he's naked from the waist down, he will take himself off to the bathroom, position his step, wee all over the toilet and flush, and use the potty for a poo (unfortunately is quite reluctant to flush it, think it's pride) so I think we'll start the training after dh's cousin's wedding a week on sat (ds is pageboy and dh is best man) he loves his Thomas pants through when he's wearing them he forgets it's not a nappy till it's too late so that's going to be the first tackle. I do feel he's early from what I've heard etc but I do think he's ready. I hope so anyway.
Tonight he said to MIL "Grandma, you're just a pudding!" Grandma said "why?" He said "because, you're having fireworks!" He's coming away with the funniest things, answers "why" questions with "because" which I'm quite surprised at, and has reasons for everything. He has to help with the cooking, tonight laid the salad on the plate, and took it to the table, drags a dining chair over and checks out what's going on, stirs the pans, sets the table, well, in his own fashion! He certainly keeps me entertained!
