was busy. First of all it was ds 8 month check with the hv – he’s 91st %ile for length, but under 50th for weight- yeah right. Really is time they changed the charts, and I won’t be doing anything major to up his food intake – but it did shake me. Now I remember why I don’t go near hvs usually. Then we went to breastfeeding group, where the resident pro breastfeeding hv was extremely scathing – muttering about breastfeeding plateaus, and the fact that ds is obviously fine (and the softplay area was open again, so that was good).
After group we did the shopping – 90 minutes, two children, tescos didn’t stand a chance! And dd was great throughout. OK we got a bit of whining here and there, but nothing we couldn’t handle, and overall it was good. I’ve no idea what flicked the switch – has she perhaps deschooled now? She’s certainly going around telling everyone that she is never going to school – you should see the expressions ppl get!
