Whoaaa.... too many messages for me to catch up properly.
but Jeremy Clarkson ... really ??
Is it Clarks that do the photos of the first shoes ? I dont usually go in there as its so busy. I tend to use R&B which sell Clarkes as well (or ours does at least) Shoes are a killer, just wait till they start school and they need shoes, trainers, gym pumps, hockey boots, football boots, rugby boots. I'm lucky as my nephew tends to pass down his rugby and footie boots so it manages to keep costs down a bit. DD asked for Uggs for Christmas
Mrs C : We love thunder montain. We ended up getting 12 fast pass tickets last time we were there for use in a half hour slot (machine was broken so attendant was handing out and we queued up twice to get extra so we went on three times in quick succession.... and I was about 20 weeks pregnant too !!
LAL : if yu get any more deals like that during school holiday times let me know !
UD : I WANT THAT BOOK !
Although if we all slept in till 9 am it would be chaos. We are usually up and out of the house by 8.50am. Sometimes, like today DS2 doesnt have time for breakfast so we wait till we get back home about an hour later.
W is being a pain at the moment in terms of going to bed. I'm finding I can only put him in his cot if I have fed him and he is totally zonked out, otherwise he wakes up as he senses he is being lowered and then wakes up and shreeks. I must admit, that for the last two nights I left him to cry not something I usually like doing, but that didnt work either, so I had to sit in his room singing which after 10 minutes seemed to do the trick.
Biting... I dont think shouting really helps, as I wouldnt want to make him feel frightened in what is usually a happy and secure time, although if he catches you by surprise you cant help yourself. I usually stop feeding straight away, say NO firmly, and try again a bit later. The Kellymom site has some good advice, which usually works when you say it in an american accent.
Food, hmmm, this varies so much. Porridge always goes down well, mid morning snack of potato cake or toasted t cake, lunch, 3 cubes followed by fruit, snack in after noon, dinner 3-4 cubes or pasta plus sometimes a pudding depending on how keen he is. I never give yoghurt at dinner time in case he is sick later on as I cant abide the smell, somehow it always seems worse in the evening. Dont know why ?
Right, I'm supposed to be weaning myself of MN as we've bought a house that needs a lot of renovation and I need to be looking into that instead of this. How can I cope ?
