Dragonstorm - that would be so great the daycare thing! More dads should be encouraged to do so! Not to mention the convenience of it all! And awwww at your cuddly sleepy moment with Nate, that's just so precious!
MumofLewis - when Lewis wakes does he cry or just natter away happily? The reason I ask is only if he seems quite happy, is maybe you could let him natter for maybe 15minutes before getting him up? Or just let him natter and just see what he does (so no time frame on it) Or alternatively, go in and give him a cuddle, say its not quite time to get up yet and tuck him back in. (btw this one is touch and go with my DD#2 as once she sees me, I'm sure she thinks WT?? when I try and put her back to bed - so chucks a wobbly so up she gets, lol!) DD#2 wakes up and mostly chats away and has actually gone back to sleep for another 20mins or so every now and then. Other times after her friendly conversation with herself, she gets bored and starts with the frustrated "I'm not happy with this arrangement" protests, lol! The other morning she laid there doing her cookie monster laugh while clapping! DD#2 then has a nap around 9.30/10 til 11/11.30 and then another from approx 2 - 3.30pm, then bed at 7pm-ish.
This may not work for Lewis but its just a thought but hth a little? You could just have an early riser ready to get into the day, not wanting to waste one bit! He'll get there eventually love.........just think, when our kidlets hit teenagers they will never want to get out of bed!
When he wakes up he never cries, bless him, he chats away to himself and reads his book. But then when he gets bored of that he kind of starts shouting! Which means Mum where are you, so that's when I go in! Look if he's not the only one that does it then that's fine, as long as others are suffering too I'm happy
Dragonstorm, how cute watching Maisy together. Lewis is the least cuddly baby on the planet and will only sit on my knee if I pick him up when he is engrossed in the TV and doesn't realise I'm doing it!
not wanting to p*** on your fire here, but thought I would give you my opinion on the daycare thing. As sad as it sounds I wouldn't be able to put my kids in daycare with a man that I didn't know I just would have trust issues with what he may do with no witnesses around. I don't mean all men are dodgy obviously but you just never know who is until they have built up a reputation or you have a personal recommendation. People may feel differently because you have a child yourself and when they meet you would realise you are trustworthy but you may find it harder to attract people in the first place. Just my opinion, maybe not everybodys?
