Good afternoon mummies

Well, I don't know what's going on with Oliver, but I love it! After Rock & Rhyme this morning, Oliver was very tired and he fell asleep in the car on the way home... and then went on to sleep for 2 hours! That's practically unheard of for him! He woke up very hungry and with a very wet nappy. Then, when we went to the supermarket I noticed him looking tired, so when we got home I was sitting with him at the computer and he just seemed very tired, so I thought I'd put him to bed. I put him down, walked out, and I haven't heard a peep from him! He put himself to sleep completely on his own!!! He did that yesterday too... I'm hoping it's the start of a pattern . Before this I always had to feed him to sleep, and before that (when he was much younger and lighter) I used to rock him to sleep. I haven't done anything different - I guess he's just learnt what to do! I'm so proud of him for being able to self-settle.
Now... if only he'd sleep through the night (or just wake once)!
It's great that he's sleeping so well, and so much... but I am now finding myself twiddling my thumbs. I'm so used to rushing around trying to get housework (and BB ) done as quickly as possible before he wakes... now I've done it all and don't know what to do next. If he keeps it up (please!) I'll have to take up a hobby or something . I feel like I've barely seen the little guy today though...

Peach: I have a wool cover for baby beehinds which I've lanolised (is easy to do), and I'm going to try it with a bamboo baby beehind as a night nappy tonight - I'll let you know how it goes.

Blip: That's great that you get along well with a mum from your MG. I hope I get friendly with some mums from my MG soon, cause pretty well everyone I know is too busy to see my at the moment . That's fantastic that everything with the paed went well! See, finally the 'professional' have realised what a great mum you are!

How is everyone else doing? We're a bit quiet with so many of us going away on holidays!

Mmm, now what to do...
