Dot Points on the Day

[dalekboy]

* Sharon came home today. They needed the beds. Too many women having babies!

* I picked up the chocolate cigars today. They aren't super-delicious, but they don't suck, either.

* Sharon is well, but a little tired. Lex woke her a few times last night.

* I have had a hand in keeping Lex distracted so Shaz could catch up on all your comments and well-wishing on here, it made her very happy.

* Not that she was unhappy before

* Lex got his first trip in the Belwood. He was very restless and cranky as we strapped him in, but as soon as I started the engine he went quiet and was asleep before I turned the first corner.

* Kal licked his hand and was no trouble at all.

* Mum is still panicking every time Lex cries.

* Sharon has found the rocking chair to be a reasonable investment when it comes to feeding.

* I still have not had a poo-ey nappy. My previous observations were based on what I have seen over the years, and the constant reminders in the hospital.

* My first ever lullaby to Lex was Sixteen Tonnes. My second was The Money Song".

* I am enjoying these early, non-talking days. Every now and then when Lex is crying for the sake of it, I like to tell him "Harden the fuck up, Lex!

Ahh cars, from all I've heard they are very good at getting babies to sleep.

Glad all is going well.

hopefully you'll be on duty when Lex discovers he can use the contents of his nappy to repaint his cot/body/room/cat

And thus begins 'The Ballad of the Drover's Son'

I found the pooey nappy not nearly as big a problem as I suspected it might be until solid foods were introduced. :-) Then the consistency changed.

I miss breastmilk poo. Breastmilk poo was easy to take care of and it didn't smell.

My cousin still resents me for making her change the whopper of a poo Aerin shared with us last night.

Kudos to Sharon for getting a rocking chair. I found mine indespensible and even bought a new one once I got to the US because I found I couldn't live without one!

-grin- Why does it not surprise me that the third generation of male in your family also approves of that car? I'm looking forward to hearing that he's asked to borrow it to take his girlfriend out in...

I am looking forward to cannabalising I mean borrowing my mother's rocking chair. There are photos of Mum and me in it, and then there will be photos of me and Sparrow in it.

Excellent choice of lullabies. I also recommend Elvis, or appropriate filk versions of.
