Homeschooling
[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] My mother surprised the hell out of me last night by being supportive of the possibility that we may homeschool when Tiny is old enough o_O My mother is full of surprises. Just goes to show that I can in fact discuss whatever with her, and she may or may not agree with me but she respects me enough as a person to listen and offer her own viewpoints and life experiences without making me feel like I’m doing things “wrong”.Cloth Nappies
[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] Got my order from BubbaJ today :) Two hemp nappies with two inserts and I got a BubbaJ bag too which is cool. I’ll be able to use it to cart the floor rug kowren made for Tiny out of an old single doona and doona cover of mine. Well she only used half of said doona and doona cover, she has the other half to make her future baby a floor rug … or whatever else she wants to do with it :)Blowout
[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] Tiny likes this song, he was fussing, I asked him if he’d like to listen to music, what would he like to listen tp, would he like to listen to Guns n Roses? And put this song on. He went into happy state. Those cloth nappies can contain anything but major blowouts, and we had another one of them.Amazing Sleeping Baby
[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] It used to be that either I would have to feed Tiny to sleep or JJ or me (or anyone else really, Mum always seemed happy to do it but he’s ours etc ;) would have to carry him and cuddle him to sleep. A couple of times he surprised us by falling asleep all by his cute little self.Cloth Nappies Projectile Vomit
[minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] [imported from livejournal and backdated] I think there’s an in built stress tester in babies that causes their parents concern (assuming the parent isn’t already overly a major worrywart). Tiny got up to his projectile vomitus tricks again. I gave him his morning feed in bed as per usual and after an hour or so he chucked it back up.Philosophy
[imported from livejournal and backdated] [minor pseudonymising edits during Drupal to hugo migration for all the good that will do now] “Kids grow up too fast”. I’m more inclined to believe that kids grow up at a normal rate and that time is distorted by parents taking too long to get used to the phase of development the child is in until they’re well into it and starting to get out of it, or being too self centred at the wrong time.Stats n Stuffs
[imported from livejournal and backdated] Nearly forgot it was a public holiday when we made our plans but kowren and I decided to trek to Freo anyway to see if we could find any place that had canvas or hessian sack or something similar backing. We are gong to cut up this quilt and quilt cover to make matching floor rugs for Tiny and her future child. The four of us (me, JJ, kowren and terrycat) had a fun long debate about homeschooling vs mainstream schooling as well.
