Confession: I started making pinwheels for the child since they're easy for him to self feed, but I probably eat more than half of each batch myself. They're delicious. If I do buy baby food, I buy it in flavours I don't like to stop myself eating it!1

What are pinwheels?
I used to like rusks, choices with a thick layer of butter, or peanut butter. Actually I can eat peanut butter without anything else.0 -

I plan on using that gem on Andrew when he's older. I'll race him myself if I have to.
I race Charlie on stuff all the time, particularly on stuff he doesn't want to do, like getting dressed to go out, or pajamas and bed. He likes being the champion. "but we never race food auntie".

The child must have had a bad dream last night as he woke up suddenly and wouldn't be settled and ended spending all night in our bed. I'm not knocking co-sleeping if that's your parenting bag, but I HATE doing it. I yet all paranoid about squashing him and we got very little sleep.
Hoping it goes better tonight as I'm shattered. Currently sat in a dark room, willing the child to sleep. He's having none of it. How can he be so awake!?
Does he nap at day care?0 -

Yes, Susie. In my neck of the woods it is a bad respiratory virus. Flu-like, but not actually the flu. Even our doctors are calling it the crud, because "viral upper respiratory infection, with cough, unspecified" is too long.
Yuck! That sounds absolutely awful. Glad you're feeling better.
I give credit to the zinc and my healthy habits, relative to my coworkers, some of whom have been sick for a week.1 -

He's one. Anything goes for a little while yet. Mine all went through a stage some time between 11 & 15 months where they simply didn't want to sleep through the night. It was awful every time. I hope he gets over it quickly.0 -

The are puff pastry rolled up with some kind of filling (I usually stick to cheese and something but most people use tomato paste) and cut into slices. They are handy for weaning since most babies can easily hold and bite chunks off them. And they are like delicious baby crack. I am getting pretty good at making them!0 -

He naps the same at nursery as he does at home - for 30 minutes max, once occasionally twice a day. The child is at least consistent. But he is usually quite good at night once he's gotten to sleep, which is why a terrible night hits us all so badly!
In good news, he slept through last night once he finally dropped off. That's the best birthday present mummy could have wished for!5 -
Happy Birthday, Anne-Marie!
I want delicious baby crack!

Yeah. I used to try this one, too. Then they caught on to me...1 -
