Received this CD to review – it got nabbed quickly by this young reviewer!

Going through the optionzzzzzz

Paul — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 14:10:26 +0000

We’ve hit a patch of bad sleeping recently. And we’re going through all the options to try and work out why this is happening and what we can do to make a change so that we get to have some more zzzzzzz’s.

Is it the teething, the back teeth seem to be taking an absolute age to come through, I can’t remember the front ones taking so much time.

Is it the change to most of his feeds being full-fat milk?

Is he eating enough? Drinking enough?

Is there something else?

Will we find out before things change once again? Probably not….

Moments of Clarity

I should probably be recovering from a stag do today. But I’m not. And it has made me thankful. (This image is just representative of how I think it may have looked – spot the groom).

It’s probably best not to go over the lies and lack of understanding that led to things going so bad that I went from Best Man to not being invited to the wedding, let’s just say that I’m still waiting to find out what I did wrong, rather than what I am supposed to have done.

But as I played with Max yesterday morning, and he continued to amaze and amuse me, I felt very glad that I was there. I was there over the weekend as he learnt how to kick a ball and grinned like a mad man, I was with him as he got over his dislike of strawberries and gobbled them down. I was there yesterday after he fell and cut his lip which bled for a good few minutes and caused tears for a few more.

“I was there” with my son is infinitely better than “I was there” when so-and-so slipped into a drunken stupor.

So much to do, so little time!

Too many items!

My oh my it has been such a long time since I’ve been here – and I am sure I can say the same for you!

My excuses are numerous, but are generally focused on the fact that if I get a bit of time then I am trying to use it to work to earn money before the debt collectors come a-knocking!

And what a lot I have to do, and what a lot has changed over the past few months with me and my little boy. But more of that another time – I need to reduce those numbers in my list of things to-do!!

Snowed In Again!

What advice should you have listened to?

Paul — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 13:44:10 +0000

I was surprised, though I shouldn’t have been really, at the amount of advice that people were willing to give to us as new parents. We didn’t even have to ask – the advice was flung at us from left, right and centre. Sometimes the advice would be given to us more than once if we foolishly failed to follow it the first time.

I’ve never been good at receiving advice, especially when it has a chance of touching any part of my ego – in this case my parental skills, which I am only just developing of course. So nearly all of the advice went into the garbage can in my mind. Which is a pity because 6 months down the line we see that we should have followed some of the advice.

What advice should you have listened to?
