I'm finding things a bit hectic myself at the moment. DS1 and DS2 are both changing schools after the summer and J is keeping me busy as always. I do try and keep up with the threads but I don't post as often as I would like.

How's everyone else doing?

Hello thread and lurkers

Rowingdowntheriver · 05/07/2014 17:36

Hello new thread. It's been a long time since I've seen a thread die and lily I like your style!

Zamboni · 05/07/2014 17:38

I turn my back for 5 minutes to feed DC and Lily has killed the thread. Well played!

Lily we are watching suits. I fancy both of them!!

PetiteRaleuse · 05/07/2014 17:44

Bonjour.

ValiumQueen · 05/07/2014 18:30

Excellent thread killing Lily Grin you made me quite nervous!

ChasingDaisy · 05/07/2014 21:04

Hello thread.

I read as much as I can. O starts nursery in 2 weeks and I have a week off work this week to start settling in seasons and take him on a day trip to the seaside. Any nursery tips/advice?

Passmethecrisps · 05/07/2014 21:38

Evening all.

Glad the pox seems to be abating ever so slightly zamboni and I really hope that F avoids it bp

Good work on the dates ladies!! I am obsessed by both hour styles lily and chasing!

Busy day here. Play date this morning, granny and grampa this afternoon, park and fish and chips. P is well and truly giving up milk now - no lunch time bottle and no bedtime bottle either. I keep offering but now long should I do that for?

My mum and dad keep talking about p not being a baby anymore and being. Proper wee girl. Makes me mostly proud and a little sad.

Also today I chopped p's nap by half and it still took her over an hour to get to sleep. Not quite sure what to do about it. Mostly she is happy alone and singing so it shouldn't bother me.

Enjoy your holidays stunt!!!!

Evening quiche!

Zamboni Glad to hear S is perking up. Good luck tonight BP. Happy hols teamStunt.

We've just had a lovely birthday BBQ with pals out in the East Neuk countryside. My pal has rescued some ex battery hens so J was delighted with 3 dogs and a flock full of chooks to play with. His chicken noise is quite realistic now! She has a hammock too so he's learnt to say "up you go" and "you can do it". Smile He was the only tot there (everyone else kids were teens) so got a lot of fuss, especially after his bath when he was tottering round the garden with fluffy hair, sleepsuit and wellies. We've just snuck him into bed now.

YellowWellies · 05/07/2014 21:57

Pass we offered milk for 2-3 nights at bedtime, after I weaned him - he didn't want it, so we stopped. That was in March.

BigPigLittlePig · 05/07/2014 22:11

"Mummy wee wee" - Fs first sentence Smile

Decoded = mummy I want to go on the swing (wheeee wheeeeeee)

Thank god for calpol, and pub-cats. We managed to stay out til 9 in the end, both girls crashed out in bed now, I'm not far behind.

I'm waiting for gory details, Lily and Chasing...

Enjoy your hols Stunt.

Passmethecrisps · 05/07/2014 22:16

Qq - do we all qualify for the minor ailments scheme or is that Scotland only? I ask because we get calpol, bonjela and nurofen from the chemist for free.

That's interesting yw. I think I should let it go. Apparently by nephew stopped very suddenly months ago so I think actually she has hung on quite a while. Should I offer her milk in a cup?

YellowWellies · 05/07/2014 22:16

J's first was "bye bye choo choo". He still says it every time we get off a train Smile .

His chat is a bit blue at the mo - "wellies on" sounds like willies on. "Makka pakka" sounds like makka bugger, "hat on" sounds like hard on and "chicken pock pock" sounds like chicken fuck fuck Blush .

YellowWellies · 05/07/2014 22:18

Pass he has a big beaker of koko milk and nesquik every day, along with his calcium and D vits that's all the milk the dietician reckons he needs.

Passmethecrisps · 05/07/2014 22:19

Haha!

I am pretty certain p says bugger - I wouldn't be surprised.

She is starting to do two word sentences more and more now. Three word if you include mummy or please. So, "more cheese, please" or "mummy, TV, please"

bp your afternoon sounds blissful. Love pub kitties!

YellowWellies · 05/07/2014 22:20

As for minor ailments that's just Scotland, because I've got a bottle in his nursery bag, one upstairs, one downstairs - I'm wary of getting them all from minor ailments as they'll think I'm ODing him Confused

Passmethecrisps · 05/07/2014 22:21

P would happily live on cheese and has a yogurt ever day. That's probably enough calcium, do you think?

Passmethecrisps · 05/07/2014 22:22

Haha! I had the same concern but DH has got quite chummy with the pharmacist thankfully!

I think the rough rule of thumb is they start 2 word sentences once they've got a vocab of 100 words and 3 word sentences once they hit 200.

I've got a pal from toddlers who is actively trying to "teach" her DD 3 word sentences and is telling her off for being naughty when she can't do it - yet never really chats to her kid in a way likely to increase her vocab (the "no because I said so" type). Poor little soul. DH calls her dog trainer Mummy. Sad

BigPigLittlePig · 05/07/2014 22:27

I WISH we got free calpol! I've single handedly funded the staff bonuses at the calpol factory this year (only v slight exaggeration).

BigPigLittlePig · 05/07/2014 22:29

And Pass, this was one fat, I-eat-all-the-leftovers, silky smooth, black cat. He was lovely. And tolerated Fs affections admirably.
