mrm - I honestly think your ds is lovely, and totally normal. I do think you might be comparing him to ds1, which makes him look behind, but I'm sure it is way too eary to even consider getting him checked out. (And can I just say some of your friends really aren't very friendly. I'd have to have real concerns to reinforce your worries like that, and I don't)

For what it is worth, ds still goes mostly backwards on sit on things, and totally ignores any type of telling off. I think both of those are normal for their age.

hmmm. I know you're both talking senswe.But you know when you just think things based on the volume of evidence?Oh, and even my mum says 'oh, we'll love him anyway' Lodger says he's normal given who his Dad is!

lol at DL!!

pmsl @ lodger

I think he seems fine from the few times I've met him... but then I've had DD DS seems positively advanced in comparison

By having a concept of being told off, do you mean when they laugh, announce they did it, and carry on?

Friz - more helpful tips from my friend - you'll love it (sent in two messages as he pondered - need to tell him you're a she too )

"whores and beer. Gets my attention everytime...

I have no idea - i've never been to a grand opening of anything let a lone a comic shop. I was sucked in by publicity (i.e. 14 years ago I'd heard of a good Star wars comic and saw a sign in Poole for a comic shop).

I guess tying into recent comic film adaptions or whatever? Thaat or whores and beer!

This is why I'm not in business for myself..."

"ooh - of course if he could snag a signing by an artist/writer (there's plenty in the UK like Andi Watson, John McCrae, Mark Millar plus I'm sure local talent to wherever your friend is) that would get the punters in...

That or whores and beer."

pmsl. Sounds like you'll need some whores and beer then Friz!!

mrm - Lewis says 'hiya' and 'dadda' but not many more recognisable words, he hardly ever sits on his ride on cars but when he does he doesn't move either forwards or backwards, he never listens when he's been told off, i'm not worried about him because even though he can't talk he completely understands everything we say to him. All children are different don't worry about him

Would anyone mind if I gatecrashed this group?
Dd born 4th feb 06. Not sure about naming her though (v.unusual name)- have put pics on my profile.

Can you guess what her favourite book is?

And we'll probably end up having a lot of time-lapsed conversations as I seem to be up later than most of you, and work full-time in the day Heigh-ho!

Ah. Ds1 used to love that one. We saw a great puppet show of the story (can you imagine stretching that tale out to an hour's show?)

Thanks phoenix.

Frizbe; I'd say anything female and anything alchoholic would help. Personally, dh would only be interedted in anything if it involved food He's not even going to DL's leaving do, despite having worked together 18 yrs, because there's no food (and we'll see him anyway still, and he says he doesnt want to get the tube home!)

Morning all, and hello EachPeach Don't worry about the time lapse thing. There is often someone around in the evening too. This is a very busy postnatal thread, but you are welcome to join i.

Good point Phoenix. ds clearly understands me and just choses to ignore TBH mrm I'd say your ds2 takes more notice of what you say than mine does from our meeting this week. Plus I am quite off how nicely he played with the washing up. I tried with ds. He emptied all the water on the floor and started smashing crockery. I'll try again with plastic plates and less water next time

Blood tests sound like the sensible option then Dame. Let us know how you get on.

When I started trying to post that mrm, you weren't there. Something is going very slow today.

He's used to water from always lobbing stuff down the toilet

Am wondering if Tabs is going to come self-sufficient again today(food for dd, towels...)

I'm fairly sure she will at least bring nappies and wipes for her own child

pmsl - not just me who doesn't bother with minor things like nappies....

I feel sure CSWS will bring plenty of towels

Ello EachPeach - love the stripey number in the first photo

Morning ladies.

I have pasta, corn on the cob and a boiled egg ready for dd . And some bread rolls that I just need to make up for me.

mrm - dd has a hideous cough. I'm guessing that you're not going to be bothered, but thought that I should at least check. Wondering what the chances of getting her a docs appointment for this morning are .

Welcome EEPM - if you're only on late at night then you might find yourself with a lot to catch up on most days - we talk A Lot. Are you new to MN, or just new to our thread? Can you share roughly what part of the country you are in, so we know whether to invite you to any meet ups?

Now can I have the prize numpty award please. DD woke up screaming (and then coughing) at 12:45, and I went through to find that I'd left her light on! Cue over an hour of screaming, cuddling, coughing, having medised, coughing medised back up again, screaming, feeding, feeding, feeding, then eventually sleep. Joy.

I can feed you, you know! I even have a few Waitrose items, as I was desperate and in a hurry yesterday

Will just make butties for the boys then, so we can leave it till the last minute, and if you dont get here, they can eat them on the way to nursery!

You're right, a cough doesnt bother me.I'm a bad parent, had you forgotten?

We're all looking fairly haggard anyway, due to a totally nonsleeping ds2 who then still got up at the usual time. I'm at that point where I really dont want him coming into our bed anymore. He seems to have slipped us back into that habit.
But at least I've manged to wash my hair this morning! Thats a minor miracle in itself with 2 water obsessed boys helping.

Oh yes, forgot to pmsl at Jas' helper with the washing up .

You gave him REAL plates?!!?

DD announced that she wanted to go to breakfast club again this morning I don't feel snubbed at all...no, really I don't Benefits of having a mum working at the school though - I got a bacon sandwich for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ds2 just washed up whatever he could reach. Luckily it was mainly plastic on the draining board!

Terrible mother CSWS. I would never do anything like that. Never.

Did I tell you about the other night when DS wouldn't settle (DH had put him to bed), I kept ignoring him thinking he would soon, finally went to check he hadn't pooed, and as I lay him back down I realised HE HAD NO BLANKETS!

Mean sod had plonked him in bed with his bottle and that was it . Like to see him go to sleep without covers Gave him his blankets back, he sniffed a few times and passed out

Morning

Been to dr, got scan booked for morning - really early so will need to get someone to take ds1 +2 to school will I get away without telling them why, maybe not. He wasn't ever so worried, just wants to check all is well and where it should be.

Welcome to EPPM excellent name, one of our favourites in this house, I don't need the book to read it

MRM your ds sounds like most children of his age to me, obviously I haven't met him but mine just sits on sit on toys, only says a handful of words, and even less that other people understand. Most don't get being told off at this age, they are to young to understand the concept of naughty. Mine says noooooo while shaking his head and doing whatever it is I don't want him to do. Don't worry they are all different and go on your instincts not other peoples judgements, don't forget 1st children often do loads of stuff quicker so don't judge him against ds1.

Right must stop ignoring this poor child.

Wow- it really does move fast on here!
Just having a quick lunchtime peek....

Thanks all for your welcomes is very nice!

Dame- me too! The book was my little sis's favourite, so its nice to return to it. Even after 1000 reads, its fun.

CSWS- am vaguely new to mn (since about feb 07), tend to lurk rather than post, and name changed to come on here, not for hiding reasons, but just cos my previous name was a bit naff! This one represents me much better )
I live in Birmingham, so I don't think I'm particularly close to any of you, sorry. But is just nice to have a child of same age.

Flame- thanks! I don't do pink as you can probably tell! Am reassured they just get it by osmosis though...

LOL at CSWS and the light- and can't believe she'd gone to sleep in the first place! Mine needs pitchy black to drop off.

DS does pink

My poor neglected child... he was outside playing happily, the others were going to have crisps, so I just handed him a pack out there - just looked out the window and he is sat at the picnic table all alone looking abandoned

I waved to him and he grinned and yelled hiya, then carried on so I guess he is happy!
