Jan '07 part 18: A splatter-free thread this time?

[2HappyFrighteningPeople]

Surely no more sickness to be had?! (Or eah'll start spraying the thread with disinfectant!)

(Possibly I was still thinking about shoes...)

Now I did warn you about the multiple messages

It was rank - I gave him a BJ. WTF is that about - even DH doesn't get one of those unless it is a special occasion

thanks for that info dh don't think I'll worry to much a dh and I have good eyesight.

Forgot to say happy bday mrsc

2happy - how are the boys now - sleeping hopefully

wilkie - scared to meet up with you again now in case you pounce on me

dh asleep on sofa as he actually got up with e and h today (at 5.45) as I was up from 1.30 to 2.50 with hattie, i stayed in bed till 7 then ellie came in and jumped on me (apparently dh didnt notice her coming upstairs )

shared too much again

As I said in my text EAH - I was GREAT, you were mediocre

[humpf] at my rating

ds1 still awake, surprise surprise . So I'll have one overtired boy tomorrow...supposed to be going to soft play with a group of peer supporters (taken tomorrow off work so I'm only trying to get all 3 of us out the door by 7.30 on one of the days dh is away), but now it occurs to me, maybe the others won't want a baby with conjunctivitis there... (Yes, only now, he's had it for 3 days, I'm slow on the uptake...)

• and that's sick not envy - at giving JC a BJ!

It wasn't clean 2Happy

EAH - you just need to try harder

DH - they only dilate in certain cases, it's certainly not the norm, and the optom would have had to have quite a concern to do in such a young child! is there a history of eye problems in the family? usually they'll just check the health of the eye with a light, then do retinoscopy, which as you say checks the shape of the eye to see where the light falls in relation to the retina. most kids love it, a good optom will make it a game, and it doesn't hurt like the dentists!

EAH - i would definitely get Ellie checked, as i said, it's free and could save a lot of problems later on in life.

Am playing Scrabulous with a random bloke who has just asked if he can add me to his friends........erm no!

BTW - do any of you clean LO's teeth?? I give J the brush to chew on with a smear of Milk Teeth on it but other than that - he won't let me brush them!

"It wasn't clean" - what the dream or his willy....ugh, smeg, you're going to make me start barfing again!

think i'll pop to boots optician and if we can do it minus drops will be ok but she'll freak at drops in her eye

i have a fingertip toothbrush bit like a thimble and hattie attempts to bite my finger whilst i clean them

I try and brush F's but mostly he just chomps down on the brush

Just been following the thread for 5 mins and had to re-read it to make sure I got it right - yuk wilkie!!!

I'm shattered as lo still teething - when does it ever stop? She's usually up a couple of times in the night and dh keeps giving her calpol which I then find on the back of her head the next morning think he needs a lesson as where her mouth is

Wilkie - you are gross [sick emoticon]. jeremy CLARKSON!!!!

canmummy - my theory is that teething is pretty much constant...

Yes it was smeggy 2Happy. Not nice [bleurgh]

J has discovered the joys of biting - he bit my wobbly tum this afternoon so I shouted at him

i'd be seriously amazed if they wanted to dilate, EAH. as i said, it's only in very special cases that they'll dilate a child's pupils. same for adults, actually. it can make you feel very spaced out and you shouldn't drive afterwards (probably not an issue for Luke, though, eh DH?!)

oo oo oo meant to say hattie pinched my arm and left a wacking big bruise

Is this common then for LOs to get voilent at this stage

yukyukyukyukyukyukyukyukyuk

calpol on the back of the head?? [perplexed]

So what do you reckon about softplay and conjunctivits - is it a total no-no, or would you not care?

Wilkie - Z bites me when feeding. it's doing my head right in at the moment. i've shouted at him before and he cried and stopped doing it for a bit, but then he did it again, and i said NO and took him off and he just laughed at me

my mum bought me a book called No Cry Sleep Solution - it's working already and we've only been using it 2 days, we all slept in till gone 9 this morning (woke for a feed at 2, 4 and 6, but i slept through those mostly!)
