i've just done something that was either really lovely, or really stupid (both, i suspect)

[Tutter]

cuddled ds til he went to sleep

he's 2.1yo

last few nights he's been very unsettled - cried a lot at bedtime and naptime

could be to do with imminent arrival of ds2 - or possibly just one of thos random things

anyway, after stories i chatted to him about how he needn't be sad, etc etc and we were having a lovely cuddle (he's not normally a bug cuddler)

and i couldn't bring myself to move

please tell one night won't make a difference and that he won't expect this every night now [pleading]

lol Gib..........have to say i luuuuuuuurve quinoa....passionately...........but shopping too unfortunately ....of which i've done lots in the last few days.....smug

well I am sure I am only ish anyway

I just do co-sleeping, bfing and food

then I buy shit clothes from crap shops and turn up the heating

ohhhhhhhhhh......ok then

franny .....you dooooooo make me laugh

I cuddle dd1 to sleep some nights, she will be 5 in October

maybe once a month she will ask me to sleep with her in the night, it is lovely

she sleeeps well the rest of the time, not a peep

dd2 is in our bed maybe once a week, again, it is lovely (if she sleeps

could be nightmare, could be trying it on, could be anything, who knows, so I give them the benefit of the doube

anyway all this rod/back stuff is bollocks imo, I am a mother, they need me, what is there to worry about?

Tutter - cuddles arent bad, lady

Aw, tutter, that's a lovely story.

As for you quinoa freaks...

me too

I get teased but I think I'm only part earth mother...I get especially guilty buying cheap clothes and not fair trade

And I tumble dry too much

doube?

doubt

lol edam

edam

....go on.....you know you want to

what is quinoa?

and tutter, it's wonderful and nothing to worry about

and miso?

i'm just pleased to have finally bought some dang darn clothes.............it's totally joyous not to be wearing hideous old rags anymore

Gibbon people think I am some sandal wearing type

HC came to my house and said "it is actually quite clean in here"

I like miso soup

lully

bet you look fab....did you get that haircut??

quinoa is a highly nutritious grain & miso is a soybean soup

Gibbon.....i did.......it's mid back now ,but much thicker & shinier

franny

but do you like it?...new clothes, new hair

yes.....i guess my security blanket is gone.....but needed a change with everything that has happened....it was quite theraputic really

I bet

bet you look fab

anniemac, i could have written your post..... i do love cuddling dd to sleep, but it takes a bloody great chunk out of my evening that i resent. but she's more than capable of climbing out of her bed & coming downstairs to find us. do start that thread!
