What made you smile today?

[Jacqui-S]

What made me smile? Nothing as good as you guys, but a quiet evening, home alone, gin and pizza. Think I may watch some Outlander.....


Cheers x

encouragement is so important too

Yes I am very careful not to ask questions - don’t want to be thought of as a fussy, nosey granny. So I let him chat and he told me so much without having to ask. It was lovely. I know his parents are very supportive but I really want to add an extra layer of support so he knows how much we all love him

Free wine. I accumulated loads of Avios while globetrotting with my former employer. I used a lot of them on our trip to Rome but still had some left so I blew them on a dozen bottles of assorted European wines. A nice prezzy for Ruth when they arrive later this week.

Free wine is always guaranteed to raise a smile!

DH had a surprise visit from his two grown up children for Father’s Day - one from Brighton and one from Yorkshire. Love my step children

Me and Rory went to baby massage today and he loved it.

Big smiles the entire time.

It was so nice to take him somewhere and know it didn’t matter if he cried or fussed because everyone had a young baby so we were all in the same boat. And he didn’t cry once

 

[SwampDonkey]

That's just do cool. Bet it made him feel great and you so happy. So sweet

You know people really don't mind a new mum with a little fussy baby as much as you'd think. I really think people are more understanding when it's a little baby.

An annoying three year old chucking a tantrum - not so much

When Nathan was little, we used to take him to a cafe, sit down but order a takeaway coffee. That way we could sit and enjoy our coffee but, if he completely lost it we could pick up our coffee and leave.

Eek, I missed this one earlier!!

 

[HAH]

Yeah, I think you’re right @Emily . I’m very intolerant of children generally but tiny ones I cut a lot of slack, they’re bound to wail - it’s par for the course and basic lung development apart from anything else! Except on a plane - tricky.
