What a day! Had a strange swimming lesson - Oscar is determined to go it alone and swallowed an inordinate amount of water...but we had to let him because he had to taste consequences We won't do it as much next time, as today he got a sufficient taste and I don't want to turn him off water at this crucial stage (of development in and out of water, as well as coming up to summer!). His problem is that he is overconfident - as they said, no child drowned from overconfidence that they know of (the drown from panic mostly), but it would still be nice not to have him throwing himself away from me!
ALi - yay on joining! Can't wait to see your av! Have a lovely evening, sounds like an ideal compromise (even though you had planned it ages ago, it's worked out perfectly!)
I went to the ABA regional meeting today to talk about our experience with Tongue Tie...and I cried at the end when I retold a story about my feeding Oscar at 6 weeks at a reception centre for our fire brigade. I told it because it involved the maitre'd from there...who on the night revealed to me that she was a counsellor for the neighbouring group...and today's meeting was in her area! I so didn't think I'd tear up, but I did, and she was so happy that she made a difference to us just as we were recovering from all of that TT stuff. I don't know how many of you would remember, but feeding was horrendous for us for abotu 6 weeks, with the TT being snipped when Oscar was 4 weeks old and him learning to use his tongue again. Geez, why would I stop booby feeding when we got through that hiccup of a start??! No wonder I'm so attached to it!
Anyway, Oscar is asleep again and I should put him down now, and do some work around here.
I'll try to jump in again later - we'll be at our neighbour's bonfire tonight!
