Hi all, hope you are all ok.
Party planning sounds well advanced Blathers! Mine is not so good and have two to organise. One on the 12th, predominantly for family and then another on the 18th which is mainly friends and a few family. The 18th is more of an xmas drinks do combined with A's b'day party tho. No party bags made, not even thought of that - eek! I am a novice with such things! Bubbles are a good idea. not sure what else to put in! Will come up with something.
Had a few days away this week. went on tuesday and came back this aft. weather was pretty crap most of the time, but was a change of scene. had one horrendous night when A would just not go to bed and it was about 1am when we finally had to let her cry down to sleep. Tried her in our bed and tried to get her to sleep on me, all of it to no avail. She just would not be put down into the cot. And it was a couple of nights into the hol, so not as though the place was totally unfamilliar. Not used to all these shennanigans!! Normally we put her in the cot, say good night and that is it 'til 7am. I know we are so lucky, but it makes the bad times even harder to deal with! Also, was horrendous as we were staying in my ILs holiday home which is in an apartment block populated mainly by older people. Anyway,she did eventually go to sleep and then she was fine after that and has gone to bed ok most nights, with just a few tears. she is still full of cold though and has a hacking cough. How much longer do I let it go on before i take her to the docs?!
Not sure about putting A onto cows milk yet. we are still doing BLW and whilst some times she eats loads, other times she just plays with her food and i think would worry about her not getting enough vitamins and minerals etc. I will probs wait until after xmas and hopefully by then she will be eating better and more consistently.
Oh and i bought that cake book that we were all talking about a bit since; think I am going to make the ladybird cake. It looks nice and easy for a first attempt!
