Ticking things off

[????]

YES.

18 month yerar old 1p is in a bed. After 6 years the cot HAS LEFT THE BUILDING.

Can't wait for nappies to join the list..

[StraferJack]

I'm soooooo far behind you - just bagged up a whole bunch of 0-3 month clothes for the first time

[Otta]

I just want the cot to leave our bedroom, let alone the bloody house!!!

[mockney piers]

The mocklet has almost outgrown the cot, but considering his predilection from launching himself from heights I'm not sure he's ready for bed quite yet. Soon though, soon.

[Belle]

Hmm I'm the opposite - I want him in the cot till he's 10, I value the time when I can contain him!

[????]

It's quite funny - cos at that age for a few weeks they don't get the concept that they can actually get out themselves. BTW Our mini-bed is about 4 inches off the ground!

[FreeB]

So many around who is the one off. The house, or the twins. quite scary now feeling confuse.

[cuppa tea]

Ah wishing it away. I've been doing that for 4 years and now my eldest is about to start school I realise it is just going TOO FAST!

[ClareC]

Being woken up in the night!

Will be a while yet......

I'm only half a step ahead - house is now free of 0-6 month clothes, other than those stored for sentimental reasons. But still very much in baby mode... cot, bouncer, borrowed jumperoo, baby rugs everywhere, Bumbo...

[mockney piers]

Thinking about a number two as it goes.

[mockney piers]

That is of course mockli?o/a, not about going to the loo.

Mind you, now that I think about it....

Our cot is just about to come out again as 3 month old daughter is gonna be outgrowing the crib soon! It's going too fast for me! Esp as my darling wife has told me know more kids!

[Saffron]

Hmm we're going in reverse, I'm afraid. Little Saff isn't sleeping in her cotbed, and is now back co-sleeping in our bed. Otherwise she was waking 3+ times a night. At least now when she wakes, I don't have to get out of bed.

[ryedalema]

Little C never had a cot -I personally couldn't stand the prison-esqueness of it all (plenty of time for her to find herself behind bars!).

Also - I'm such a short ar*e I had to keep dropping her the last couple of inches (when leaning over the side) - woke her up without fail.

Not surprised people dream about falling - maybe they all had short ar*e mums too!

My friend is about to have number four. When he asked his partner why they aren't getting rid of the girls' baby clothes as number four will be a boy, she sort of shrugged.

He looked weary and defeated as he related this to me.

[ryedalema]

By that stage I'm sure the clothes are all'grey' anyway :)

[cuppa tea]

And your pelvic floors are shot to bits! Four!!! It blows my mind!

[mockney piers]

"By that stage I'm sure the clothes are all'grey' anyway"

Very funny!!! Although in all fairness ours are mostly beetroot, jam, stew and rusk coloured! More of a greying puce.

I'm looking at the pram in the way you look at an old dog on its last legs....I'm not really a dog person....not long for you sunshine

I never understand it when people say this - mine is hell bent on escape (managed it from cot whilst in sleeping bag the other morning). There is NO WAY he would not realise he could get out of bed. Therefore, like belle, I plan on tethering him to his cot until his teenage years...

Just bagged up the newborn stuff for baby 2...but can't quite bring myself to get rid of it yet...blame the hormones!! Husband not impressed...

[Helen GV]

All baby clothes gone, Saving a few bits for my dear sister who is preggers, all the rest re-homed...

Nursing chair? Moses basket? Crib? Tick

Taken pill this morning? Tick...

[karter]

Our 8 week old is growing soooo fast.... Things ticked off, number 1 teat, mini nappies, newborn vests and grows bagged up...
