Mummy’s Boy

The weekend, so far, has rocked.

On Friday afternoon we viewed our potential new house for the 2nd time. I WANT IT. It’s so gorgeous. We should find out if we have it tomorrow! Keep your fingers crossed for us….

On Friday night I made us a delicious vegetable lasagne which we ate with garlic bread and a glass of red wine while watching Ugly Betty and Celebity Big Brother. We then did some rude stuff!  *blushes* Considering my libido is AWOL 95% of the time at the mo, this is definitely worth a mention!

Yesterday our house was invaded by Monster Baby.

Plus his parents and 2 other friends. Within minutes our home was pretty much trashed. William’s toys, all still in pristine condition, were being flung everywhere and smeared with tomota-y fingers (Monster Baby had just eaten tomato soup). Our TV remote, my mobile, lipgloss, etc were targeted, picked up, put in his mouth, discarded. Our kitchen cupboards were opened, things flung out. I felt myself getting increasingly tense. I know it will be like this when William’s crawling but……I don’t think I’ll mind so much when it’s my own baby. And I know that when I childmind I’ll have to be less precious. But…..still.

His parents have a somewhat relaxed attitude to everything. I personally think a little too relaxed.

He eats stuff of the floor. And they give him anything and everything to eat/drink. Sugary drinks. Crisps. And beer. Yep. They give him sips of beer!

They don’t sterilise or wash his eating stuff properly.

He trapped his fingers twice in our cupboards and they just ignored him.

Anywhoo. I was actually really relieved when Monster Baby & parents left. William was scared of the beast. And I could actually enjoy a glass of juice without it being grabbed away by fat little fingers.

Speaking of William….I’m beginning to think he’s a bit of a mummy’s boy. He cried whenever any of my friends tried to hold him yesterday. When he wasn’t crying, he was in a really grumpy mood…..until me or Mike held him, or took him upstairs, and then he was all smiles. Secretly it gives me a bit of a warm glow but I want him to be a bit more social!

Today we are mostly sitting on our big butts and eating yummy things.  I shall be back later to note y’all. Toodlepip!

lots of love Clare xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ps I’m going to whisper this, but I am considering-only considering at this stage-maybe trying some cloth nappies. I am sick of Pampers. They smell musty and I don’t think they can be that comfy for William. They’re all stiff and unflexible. Also-this only occured to me yesterday-he’s going to be wearing nappies until he’s about 2!!! How many Pampers will I get through in that time?! I know absolutely nothing about cloth nappies but a few of my faves are big fans. Are they a LOT of extra work? And are they really expensive? Do you have to scrub out poo?!
