KEL - I had a rough night with Claudia as well. She went to bed at 8:30, was up crying from 10:30 til 12:05, then slept til 6am, up with her feeding & crying from 6 - 7 & then went back to sleep until 8. She has a mega stuffy nose today, so I'm sure that's what's doing it. As for Miss Jem, I'm not sure what's up with her? Claudia loves Apples too. She scrapes them along her teeth, it must feel good & taste nice at the same time? Claudia does hand feed herself most times. if we have mince or if she's having yoghurt or something, she is spoon fed, but mostly she does it herself. Now she lieks to hold the spoon while I load it up & then she guides it into her mouth. Very cute!

KYM _ I"m glad that Monkey is sleeping at day care, sounds as though her carer is a total gem! Worth holding onto. I think it's normal that they put on a show when you leave them, I have heard lots of friends say the same. I'm so glad to her that you have a stressfree approach to getting her to sleep! Less stress on both of you.

Hope you're all having a great day.

Love Jayne
