Am knackered. Been up since stupid o clock and very busy day! Party was packed - should probably have used the larger of the two halls rather than the smaller! I thought that some people might cry off because of the weather, but in fact everyone was glad to get out after spending so much time housebound all week!

Dd said that her favourite bit was blowing out the candles on her cake .

She has a tonne of presents - some were opened this afternoon, and the rest will wait until tomorrow. She is currently (after changing her mind about going to sleep half way through bedtime ) setting up a 'honey bee tree' game to play with nanny and grandad, who are staying tonight.

I barely had chance to say anything more than 'hello' to most guests, which was a shame, but I suppose it was dd's party rather than mine!

Poor ds got neglected in terms of feeding and sleeping, and was in quite a state by bedtime (6:40!), but very glad to get to bed. I would quite like to go now too, but still stuff to do, and would like a bit of time to relax a little too.

We haven't actually got dd a birthday card for tomorrow . Not sure whether to make one tonight, or not bother on the grounds that she probably won't really notice.

Lovely to see you dame. We are having a meet up at mine on March 14th. Up for it?

EachPeachPearMum · 08/02/2009 21:54

In my defence... my brain is a little addled at present

mustrunmore · 09/02/2009 10:00

Ok, so you lot with two kids .... what on earth am i gonna get as a pressie for a second baby? Not too expensive, and really cant be clothes or toys etc as they still have it from the first time. I'm totally stuck. I've got something for my friend, buit I( wanna get a little s9methig for the baby too. Not for anotherr few weeks, but can you all get jmy brain working please?!

CantSleepWontSleep · 09/02/2009 10:49

Same sex as first time I assume?
Blanket? Muslins (may not be exciting but would have been well received here). Nappies. Mobile/music box (dd still uses hers so had to get new for ds).

CantSleepWontSleep · 09/02/2009 12:24

Happy Birthday Lewis .

EachPeachPearMum · 09/02/2009 15:23

Happy birthday L!

we had a fun night.... DS didn't stop feeding from 12:40 until 9am
He then slept until 2:30 he is still nocturnal....

Jas · 09/02/2009 19:07

Oh, Not good EPPM. I hope you have a better night tonight.

Happy birthday Lewis

DS is becoming the child you avoid at toddler group If he was my first/i didn't have lots of friends with active boys, I'd probably not take him out atm.

Frizbe · 09/02/2009 20:19

Jas, any idea whats causing his behaviour, or is it just that terrible two, orrible 3 stage? dd2 is certainly trying it on a lot at the moment, unluckily for her, dh and I are both backing each other up to the hilt and thus the naughty step is in use quite often.

Hi Dame

Happy Belated Birthday to Pippa, Happy Belated to Lewis too

EPPM Wow that's a long feed,he can't have fed constantly for all that time, did he? or was he just comfort sucking? are you co-sleeping? I think I'd be very tempted to. {{{hugs}}}

CSWS glad the party went well, we have that honey bee tree game, both dd's love it

MRM, combination of Weight Watchers and Exercise Classes/Yoga/Gym 3 times a week. Most of it must have been water weight though, as I lost a lot the 1st two weeks, then its slowed right down, last week and week before only lost 1 lb a week, which is good, so long as I keep it up! and don't go all on me, as you weigh loads less than I do anyway!

Wishing for snow here, but looks like sleet/rain, booooo, I like the white field look, makes winter more interesting don't ya think?

Frizbe · 09/02/2009 20:30

oooh nearly forgot to say, dh has arranged a babysitter for the kids Sat daytime (can't get one for love nor money sat night) so he's taking me out to lunch how woomantic

Frizbe · 09/02/2009 20:34

Oh MRM for present someone brought me a do it yourself handprint/footprint kit for dd2, which we used, not sure how much they cost though?
