So quiet in here!

Trish - sorry to hear you are all sick. But it's good to hear K is on the move. I swear Max is going to sit on his ar$e for ever! Took him to physio today and he cried and cried and cried! I don't know what to do short of forcing him along the floor. The poor thing must be soooooooo frustrated! Makes me want to cry! (we can both do it together!)

Mo - Go on....find out....I dare you! I'll put the pressure on!!!

Bec - You can get Heinz white sauce in the baby section (I haven't used it) so maybe add some real cheese to that? I give Max anything pretty much so I'm probably not the best one to ask. Yesterday he had cupcakes with green icing! Hope things get better your way.

Star - That first DC sounded awful! Obviously not enough adults in the room for kids (ratio). I have not done this personally with Max (nor do I want to!) but I WAS going to be a Child Care worker so did some study. CCW are supposed to observe children and plan / programme days with activities to suit development etc. (well that is a qualified CCW) I guess the best thing to do is ask if they do activities in the babies room and what kind (water play, sand play etc.) You will be happier to leave M in a place that has enough adult:child ratio, that way he can get a bit more attention (there is a minimum anyway probably). I know for sure when I did CC that I was a nut for the kids so spent a lot of time playing / observing them. It was FUN...and look at me now...my kid can't even crawl! If you go into a place and you see the kids happy and content, then it's probably not a bad place to leave them.

Other news....Max had a white 'spot' on his gum where his top tooth is coming down. Has anyone seen these before? It wasn't the tooth (wish it was though!). Now it looks like it's popped....?
