Well, it was definitely Real Nappy Week

We went to two nappuccinos and they couldn’t have been more different!

Yesterdays was thriving – lots of stalls, lots of visitors, staff from the councils, health visitor stall, midwife, related mother and baby type businesses as well as various real nappy company sellers and laundry services. It was lovely, well publicised, and there were ppl there who didn’t use cloth at the moment. We got a goody bag (I might actually have nearly enough cloth shopping bags now) with a baby toy, some essential oil and Avent products in. And of course, ds features on the publicity leaflets (different shot to the one I put up before, will scan at some point). There were toys and the whole thing was lovely.

Todays was a little smaller and I don’t know for sure, but most of the ppl there seemed to be clothies already. But I’m not convinced it had been quite as well publicised. But still managed to catch up with some friends (Hello Barbara!) and dd had a lovely time as well.

Then we picked up her mate from her old nursery and I took them all to the park which was nice in the sunshine. They are in bed now, and I’m just about to start work. The joys of home edding and working for yourself!

I’m very aware that there doesn’t appear to be a great deal going on in the school type education talk that I had previously been putting on here. Thats because right at the moment I feel that the single most important thing that both dd and I need to learn right now is how to get along together. To do that we need to get to know each other all over again. I’d say that this approach is paying off.
