Your right Christy it is odd. what is going on with these wakeful children???

well done Ann on breaking the cycle. I know that is what i need to do too - just too tired to do it...so the cycle continues. hope you get through your meeting. glad Ella fed well for you though.

Nelly, Aston jumps in his jolly jumper on the tiles, and it seems ok. Someone is with him though - and there are four of us. He laughs when the kids jump and down with him!

Tara - i know its probably no consolation, but at least there are a number of us experiencing the same thing as you at the moment - pity we don't have any answers though!!!!

Jols - Sophie is becoming quite the gourmet! Aston has just started having meat. I steamed some rump, and then mushed it in the blender. His food is semi chunky now, and the jaw works it. Other then the fruit that is in season have you tried Sophie on any tinned fruit in its own juice? I was wondering if I could give that a go - like peaches, or apricots?

Blanche - it almost becomes like - "right she's not looking - go go go" doesn't it? I've already had one like that - nathan would have got inside my skin if he could have! so now if aston starts, I say I'll be right back...sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, then he usually ends up coming with me....


same old same here - mind you aston wasn't going to bed last night for daddy come hell or high water! and daddy was not impressed. I think Aston two bottom teeth are ready to break through any day now, there is a ridge, white line right across. I think that was bothering him last night (but who knows - i swear most of what i do is guessing these days) he woke, 10, 2, 5 then into bed with me til nearly 7. DH is getting the kids up while he is getting ready for work, and they are doing all their bits and pieces, and then aston and I usually wake just before they leave to catch the bus. I don't like it very much, I lkie to see them and have a conversation with them before they go to school, but its the only way I can get some kind of sleep at the moment. are having a really hard time getting to sleep in the day - if i lay down, thats all it is - a lay down, and frustration that I haven't fallen asleep, so i haven't been bothering....hope everyone has a good day - or as good a day as one can have with broken sleep!!!
