when they flick screens for some unknown reason and you lose your whole blog post! It will consequently be very short.
Edu – SB very into Education City, on a trial, but will finally convert to the realy think this time – if anyone has a code they wish us to use, let us know. she is level 1+ for the english as 2 is a bit hard, and level 2+ for the maths. at least this time you are allowed to have different levels as this has been something that has put me off in the past.
we have played with the nursery bit with BB too, though won’t be buying it as a lot for nursery rhymes.
BB has been desperately under the weather for past few days, and last night and today def ill – nurofen/calpol the works. I weaned her this weak – actually without much trauma in the end – so suffering pangs of my faultiness about it as she no longer has my antibodies.
Other than that she has enjoyed playing with her birthday presents a lot, and playdough [which she does whilst SB fimos] SB fimo-ed today a lovely angel. i forgot to add any holes to hang on xmas tree so it may be a cake decoration
SB and i did lots of reading today with BB semi flaked on my lap [wanting to watch her bring me back on a loop - so we need to video her doing something else!], we story of the worlded the romans, read some ORT and usbourne farmyard books, she did lots of colouring and EC.
We were going to make a pegdoll fairy/angel, but BB wasn’t well enough to let us do it without her, and not sick enough to ignore us doing it with her IYSWIM
SB has enjoyed playing with my mum this weekend as well, and they enjoyed wathcing strictly come dancing together, amd planet earth. what a good mix! SB has been doing a lot of ‘interpretive dance’ about the place, and suddenly informed me their ballet uniform has changed to a lilac one with a ribbon belt? Why don’t the teachers let us know these things, as she saysd she is the only one still in the old uniform. and we need a character skirt as they no longer wear the blue polka dot one – sigh!
oh well, she has enjoyed some ‘trials of life’ as well today. SO although I feel I have mostly held a grumpy sick 2 year old, I guess we have done HE as well. SB has been very good at fetching things so i don’t have to jiggle bb too much. what a fantastic older sister she is.
Wow, weaned! Bet that feels weird. We’re an awfully long way away from that stage yet…. which is kind of good and bad at the same time. Poor BB though, hope she feels much better soon.
P.S. I’m trying to e-mail you but it’s bounced twice – can you mail me please so I can just reply?
gosh if that was a short blogpost I’d hate to have seen the long one
Hope BB is better very soon.
helen hre, chris forgot to renew hosting on time, so hopefully we will get emails once again on mon.
very wierd to have weaned. It was just doing me in completely with feeding and working and BB more territorial than actually wanting food. but actually feel crap about it yet right at the same time. we just did complete cold turkey – i told her it had run out, and gave her dairylea instead.
Leo weaned at just about dead on his second birthday too. I think it was fine for us but I had definite pangs of guilt at the time as well as being quite sure of the ‘rightness’ of it.
I knew some people who breastfed up to four or five and who clearly thought I was mad to be weaning a ‘baby’. On the other hand I had family who thought it was pretty astonishing to be still breastfeeding someone of nearly two.
I have lots of happy memories of breastfeeding and I think if I’d gone on much longer I’d have got fed up with it. I found it really helped my relationship with P once Leo could no longer ‘claim’ me by breastfeeding. He remained a very cuddly child throughout and that helped any guilt pangs.
Hope BB fells better soon.
thanks Allie, i think this sums up very much for me my feelings of weaning at this point. it is right now for me and my family, although BB not been overly impressed, she hasn’t made as much fuss as i thought she might.
BB starting to perk today
