Hi - Cam, just popping in to ask what they do in Gymbaroo.. Apparently one is starting up in term 2 and I was thinking bout putting DS in seeing he'll be 6 months
Hi LJ - William is very cute!
Gymbaroo is just play really. I like the fact it gives you time to actually concentrate on playing with them (rather than running off to unload the washing or answer the phone etc). You arrive and sing a little song, then we usually rub something over them which is different each week like a feather or a ball whilst giving them a baby massage. Then we can do a dance with them or use some equipment such as a slippery dip. after that we usually have free time with the equipment and you can do what you like. Our ones have ballons which Luke likes to hit, balls which he likes to play with and skateboards which he likes lying on and being pushed around the room. we then go back in and there is a big parachute with bright colours which the kids lie under or sit up and watch. It goes for 45 minutes which flies. What i described above was the babies class and we move onto the next stage up next term which i guess is more advanced games etc. I don't know about you but I find it really hard to entertain him so this is great for me.
Hope your well by the way...sorry I haven't being on for much chat.... internet is only sometimes up and then when it is Luke usually hates it so I just try and pay the bills and do the necessaties.
Maya - isn't great when the do 5 hours. Luke did 4.5 last night - maybe 5 tonight. Yeah!
Cam- Big :hug:. It must be so hard with a little one who wont sleep, the sleeping may just click one day, not giving advice as Im the last person who should but I know DD has only catnapped through the day since 9 weeks and now all of a sudden she is sleeping, hence me saying Im lonely....I miss my little girl, didnt think Id say that when she was only sleeping 20-30 minutes at a time :redface:. If not, I hope SOS is your thing. We sucked at it but as Jen said she had great success and I think KellyD did too. Luke and Gymberoo seem to be a good mix too, wish we had one around here, sounds like great fun!
Ery- :hug:, hun Im sorry you and Ella are having a rough time of it at the moment xxx Not a selfish post at all, I hope it helps to 'let it all' just a bit, you're doing a great job with such a trying time. How did you get on with Tresillian? Is the mastitis improving? Great that you are loving Gymberoo though, at least you have an outlet that you both love doing. Hang in there hun x
LizJessie- By all accounts William should luuuurve Gymberoo!
V-Love, Oz, Maya, Heavenly and all you chickies who havent been on :hello:
Hi ladies! hope your all ready for your first easter with ur new babies!!
izzy is getting new sleep suits and a grobag from the easter bunny and charlotte will have an egg hunt and some new pj's!
my first chocolateless easter, its going to suck soooooo bad!!!! damn diabetes!
hope all your partners are home for the long weekend, DF's working unfortunately :(
Am I a meanie? No pressies here! DS is lucky to get a bunny - last minute decision!
Skybie - can you have dark chocky?
Everyone stay safe over the holsxxx
i can in small amounts....but i have proven time and time again that i can not be trusted when it comes to chocolate!!! so i have banned it all together!
i bought cha cheap eggs so i wont be tempted to touch them!
Thanks for the info Cam :) I might have to look into doing it :)
Lily Dust - I'm pretty sure he will, seeing that he loves playing here at home (and there are just times where I just don't feel like playing with him, so it might be good to do)
AFM - William is barely sleeping more than 3 hours... again *sighs* BUT! This time, I put it down to the two lil toothie pegs trying to push their way out (well, one is out and just needs to grow up, the other one is pushing ever so hard to come out)
I haven't actually got DS anything for Easter :redface: I got everyone else something, but not him :( But MIL is getting him a little jar of Chocolate custard for a present - which he can have in 3 and a half weeks time (eep!)
LJ I cant believe William is getting teeth. The choc custard is a cute idea.
We aren't getting the kids much for Easter, DS is getting a small egg and egg hunt and a toothbrush (he gets a new toothbrush every Easter) and DD is getting some books (we LOVE books and I buy them every chance I get lol).
DD is sick here, tummy bug this time. Poor little thing hasn't been able to keep anything down. She seems brighter today though and has spent most of today asleep so fingers crossed it passes quickly.
Hope your all having a great Easter weekend.
Oz, I can't believe he is either :o One of them is coming through nicely - and you can barely see it if he smiles at you! Books are a good idea, I might have to buy him some when I get back to work.
I've been really lucky atm, DS hasn't been sick once yet - I must be doing something right! :D
Dont jinx yourself LJ lol, my DS hardly got sick but this is the second time poor DD has.
Skybie- that sux about the chocolate, good on you though not getting any because you would eat it! Well done! I bet Charlotte enjoys the hunt!!!
Maya- you guys stay safe too hun x
Liz- way top go William on little toothypegs :dance:. Sorry you are having troubles with the sleeping, makes thing all that much harder :hug:
Oz- Sorry to hear DD isnt well, I hope she is looking up soon. DD is getting a few books for Easter as well, one she can chew on and others for reading :D. DH is hopeless and buys just about anything the child looks at in the shop so she is getting some talking pig with rabbit ears as well! Im almost as bad and am a sucker on ebay....got her a trinket box shaped like an egg for a keep sake :redface:
AFU- We started solids today!!!! Went with BLS, DD was a little bit excited and had eyes the size of saucers :D. Had a bit of gagging which is apparently normal but still scared the crap outta me :redface:. All in all a big success and broccoli trees were the clear winner fo the day, I just need to steam them a little bit less!
I hope you all have a fantasic Easter and as Maya said....stay safe x
oh so quiet in here. Where are you all?
How is everyone going?
We are all good here. DD is up on her hands and knees rocking away. She commando crawls to the toys she wants which is mega cute. NO teeth yet, had lots of nappy rash but doesn't look like anything is happening. Started solids, not a fan of purees so doing BLS here. Loves fruit in her mesh feeder. We are taking it easy with solids and not rushing tho, pleanty of time for food. Still having one feed overnight but its a quick one.
I hope your all well.
Hi girls!
how are we all.
Maya hope the move went well and ur all setlled in, and T's ears are all better.
We have our first tooth coming through!! can see it yet but can feel its nasty sharp edges when i put my finger in her gob! she's done really really well with it, i didnt even know it was coming, her necklace must be doing its job well!
No other news really, all very quiet on our end. doing BSL with her too she doesnt like being spoon fed, well unless shes holding the spoon...i dont even need to tell u how that ends up! pmsl.
Hope u and ur bubs are all well
