Gosh, we all seem to be having a bad run of it after all the birthday excitment! Big hugs and kisses to everyone who isn't feeling well!
Raels - that is terrible! Poor you. I would probably think about making some kind of complaint or a writing a letter prehaps? To comment on his size is one thing, but to call him a midget is just wrong. I think you are exactly right when you said that she didn't mean to be offensive, but some people just don't think before they open their big mouths!
Sacha & Megan - *hands up* I am another with a bubba who seems to think that afternoon nap is out of the question. I am trying to jig around my sleep times to have one big one, more towards the middle of the day, otherwise he is nightmare by about 5pm. Today, he woke at 7.45am (6.15 every other day this week ), so I put him down at 12. Will see how that goes. Atleast it is a nice day here, so if it all fails, I can chuck him in the pram and go for a walk.
Sacha - I am going to steal your chalk on the driveway idea. I would never of thought to do that yet. Sounds like fun!
Jess - make sure you are resting and taking it easy, you poor thing. Poor Ethan too. Hope he is not too itchy, and starting to feel better.
Well, we had the 12 month checkup on Monday. Tom is 78cm long and 9.6kg - so thinking he might turn out tall and slim like his dad. The nurse gave me grief about T not being very good with finger foods etc, but on the way home he ate a banana all by himself. I nearly cried with joy - so funny what makes you proud! Anyway, I am a bit confused - she asked me what milk he is having and I said bottle on waking and before bed at night. Well, she acted like I was poisoning him and said "they have to go. You will delay him developmentally'. - what is everyone else doing in regards to bottles? He is having a bit of milk out of his sippy cup at afternoon tea, the rest of the time he drinks water. Do you think it is the bottle itself or the milk she has the problem with? My friend sees the same nurse and is still breastfeeding, and the nurse didn't say anything about her still feeding 6 times a day. I know there is definiately a difference between b/milk and formula/cows milk, but the MCHN made a big deal about Tom becoming reliant on having a bottle. It is all a bit confusing.
- he is awake. My grand plan of a very long sleep didnt work!
