trish - *jealous*... oh for sleep. last night was better than usual (probably because he had two goes at the cereal yesterday).

hey - we had a bumbo accident last night.

the little monkey has been trying to get out of it for about 3 weeks so we've been sure to stick by him and only have it on the floor. last night he was playing with his bottle of pancake mix *don't ask* and it fell over. i was on the other side of the kitchen and DH was 2 feet away. anyhoo, james finally worked out how to lean all the way out and push off.....

he face planted onto the kitchen tiles. luckily his buddha gut broke his fall a little bit. he cried for about 5 seconds and was sporting a little red mark on his head. stupid thing is, i knew it was coming, and i took as many precautions as i could, just happened to be when i was too far away to dive and catch him.

so bumbo is now banned except for on his foam mat and on the carpet. i think it will have outlived its usefulness fairly shortly. he is determined to go anywhere but where i want him to be.

he can assume the crawl position but his j-lo booty is too heavy and pulls him sideways. cute. frustrating for him though.

how crap is ebay's new rule btw? we will all be forced to use paypal only by i think june. how scabby are they? it means listing fee, final value fee plus paypal fee, plus waiting for it to come down to your bank account. carp if you're a seller.

saffi - dog carp on foot is good luck!
