Thanks for all the lovely comments
Oh Madmouse - try not to worry, they all get these bugs As long as he is drinking, esp that dioralyte stuff (yuk, don't know how he tolerates it!) he will be ok, and although it will take a while his eating will come back too. It's frustrating that a 'simple' bug can throw them back weeks worth of progress (whether with food or sleep or even development).
think you may get your wish about the weather.....
LaT - you are sounding so down too will look at other thread in a bit. Can't remember DS1 having that much of a reaction to the MMR, but everybody's different. Keep her dosed up on meds so you know she's not in pain. Then try to stay as near to your previous (at home) behaviour with her as poss (tricky i know with PIL about) so she keeps some sort of stability and you are predictable to her, iykwim.
The first few nights in a strange place are always pretty rubbish sleep wise with our two. makes going away hardly worth it sometimes!
(yes the hangover was worth it, thanks!)
hmm, not liking the Fern dress, though her figure is looking good i have to say.
Simpson - that's pretty awful at wilkinsons good on you walking all that way though
good news for ds about school.
Gingeme - you really need to come round here and help me declutter.....did go through the boys clothes earlier, only got rid of a few bits but tidied them up at least.
would think you would be hardened to the climbing antics by now!! ds2 is learning too, learning how to open the kitchen cupboards and pull out all the stuff in there. Esp heavy tins of beans which he then drops on the floor, narrowly missing his toes....we have a gate on the kitchen door, just need to remember to shut it more often
dh cooked some spag bol at my request, yum boys gone to sleep brilliantly - they are both in a really good phase at bedtime which is great. won't last....
watching some recorded 24 - why is it so confusing..????
