As some of you know oxsarahxo sadly lost her baby girl Jessica Charlotte Reay hours after giving birth. We are arranging a star to be named after Jessica and a lantern for her resting place from all of us. We also thought it would be nice to make a contribution to Sarah & Matt so they can use it towards flower arrangements, head stone or resting place arrangements. If you would like to contibute please PM me for details.

| Shattered! I think i need to slow down, im fastly wearing myself out...
COz Adam crys alot, Coby gets upset, the only time Adam is settled is in the pram so i have been taking Coby to as many places as i can to make him happy....here is my week
Monday - Soft play in the morning, pub with friends in the afternoon (they have a soft play area
Tuesday - walk in the morning, Toddler group in afternoon
Wednesday - toddler group in afternoon
Thursday - Soft play in the morning, toddler group in afternoon
Friday - toddler group in the morning, meet up with friends in the afternoon
I have to be back in the house by 3 for Charlie ad Ethan and then i start cooking and doing washing.
On weekends i clean the house from top to bottom.
All these palces are more than a 5 min walk from my house so im walking miles each week, i go to bed each night like a zombie lol
It keeps Coby happy tho.

| I love seeing Coby happy and taking him out alot does that, but sooner or later its going to knock me out.
Im trying to stop him napping in the afternoons so that he goes to bed eariler in the eveings, plus i have taken his dummy off him during the day, so by the time i put him to bed and give him his dummy he goes right off, its great!
He usaed to go to bed at 8 and we would stay with him for about 30 mins untill he went off to sleep, now, with no naps and no dummy in the day we take him up at 7 and within 10 mins hes gone!

| Fantastic hun!, but if your out once a day maybe in the late morning, early afternoon to entertain him he still may sleep as much as he is being kept awake??
You do need to put your feet up a bit more though!

No wonder you are shattered!
Share your secrets, please - what do you do with Adam when you go to softplay? I haven't taken Olivia on my own yet because it's so huge you need to follow her around and I can't do that holding Finlay |

Though we have a sure strart centre opening up soon, so we will be going there quite a bit ( stay and play and courses etc..)

the soft play in the leusire center is in a small hall and its all one level so coby can run off and ploay with the otyer kids and i just sit at the egde and watch.
the one in the pub is a 2 level proper play gym thing but Coby is very confident on it so again i let him run around with the otyher kids and i sit just outside and watch, he knows where i am so comes to me now and again for a drink. its all enclosed and he cant get out any other way but going past me, it has a viewing area so i watch him there. he loves running about and climbing so much.
Adam normaly stays asleep, he settles really well in the pram but on the odd occasion that he doesnt or wants a feed i just sit him on my lap or bounce him about if he crys.
