PS Mr F is sure early waking is a side effect of breastfeeding... all evidence to show him it's just a toddler thing would be much appreciated!! Neither of our boys have been really early wakers, it's just M (fron that angle might be a very good thing bump is probably another boy)


Still at least it's not dark and cold this time of year.

Well mine wasn't bf and despite some 'golden' days of 7/7.30am wakings (rare and lovely) he's generally an early waker. So there's an anecdotal rebuttal! Def the stirring at 5 - and then it's hit and miss if he goes back.


Yes - why do you think a boy? And how are you feeling now?

that's quite impressive - I have relied upon cbeebies until now when we've launched into breakfast - have already had a fight with some Oats so simple ending in disaster, and then tried to slice bread from breadmaker only to realise it's not done yet, so have a slightly irritable toddler chewing soggy bread at the moment.

Seriously impressed, afraid I am NOT a morning person so children have to pretty much entertain themselves - or I use Auntie CBeebies if all else fails til the caffene kicks in!


So glad you are feeling better F, didn't think they could/would tell that early, very cool.


Everyone up now, including DH so off to sort breakfast, have a lovely day.


M

Mine unfortunately don't really sit and watch cbeebies consistently. I put them in their highchairs and drag breakfast no 1 out for as long as possible followed by books in their chairs then they started asking for paint.. is Ok as long as there is NO RUNNING AROUND! And the bath is very close by in our flat, luckily. Somehow, getting messy is their VERY FAVOURITE THING. Ds 1 was the same.


I must say it's very peaceful until aforementiined DS1 gets up, anyway.

We've all been up since 6.10 - I know that as we're training older child in a Pavlovian way with her new alarm clock. She's not allowed out of bed until it rings (when she gets to turn it off) and we're putting it back by ten minutes every few days - it's working a treat. I've an extra 30 mins so far.


Youngest one on the other hand has had me up since 4-something-ungodly.


And when I say all - of course my husband is still in bed.


(Sounds of gnashing teeth and Mum/wife putting Deep Heat in his budgie smugglers!)


(PS - he doesn't wear budgie smugglers - the words just make me giggle :))

Yep, early rising in this house at the moment too. Although C, bless him, just sits in his bed and yells "I'm awaaaaaake" at gradually increasing dynamic until we go through to him - you'd think at 3.5 he would have worked out he can get out of bed by himself?! Long may it last. His room is really bright, despite all my attempts at blackout, so he's been waking really early. This morning I fobbed him off with a pile of books which he sat and looked at for about 45 minutes, so not too bad.


M has been waking at around 5:30am, but generally a nappy change and a bleary eyed parent telling her it's still nighttime keeps her quiet for another hour.


There's a lot to be said for winter and dark mornings!

You'll have to tell him, I have a breastfeeding daughter who wakes between 10-11am so.. 'what a load of pants' (Ha)


Better early mornings anyway, then like me you don't have a 16 month old running around till 12am while you have your eyes prised open with matchsticks. Ho hum..

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
