He has started giving the finger, sometimes the middle finger, sometimes the two fingers. I don't think he's any idea that it's offensive. I have been trying to get him to stop without him knowing what it really means, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'll probably need to take the same approach as the last time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacksgranda Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Baby Grace was down for a visit. She's up on her feet now and getting about, so we'll have fun the next time we've an overnight with her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Anyone else's child ask approx 86,000 questions a day? Catherine's favourite question to ask people is "what are you having for dinner?". Slightly food obsessed... On another note Fraser is 6 months old today! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBo10 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 My daughter speaks from the minute she opens her eyes till bedtime. Every. Single. Day. Like her mum she seems to think talking and breathing are interlinked. Fraser must be getting big now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19QOS19 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Yeah Aila is like that. The other day I actually told her to be quiet because she had been talking non stop to herself and it became like a droning noise [emoji38] Currently trying to get her used to a bed as we've taken the sides of the cot off. She goes apeshit when we leave the room and sets up a camp at the door until she falls asleep. I thought she'd love the freedom and run wild but she just cries. Pictures below were of her falling asleep and what we walked into in the morning [emoji38] 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honest Saints Fan Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 love that! Thankfully Catherine has never done anything like that. For a while she wanted to sleep on the floor but grew out of it quickly. She hates mess too so she'd probably have a melt down looking at it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBo10 Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 My wee girl was the complete opposite. Went bonkers when we tried to put her in a cot after she left our room. Screaming and shaking. The full bifta. Took the sides off put a guard on it and a mattress at the side and she slept like a log. Was very strange as we still don’t know what freaked her out. Wee boy. Meh, bed’s a bed to him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say send Catherine down to teach Aila but I'd be kidding myself on that I want her to be tidy. My Mrs is definitely on the OCD spectrum as the mental stuff she comes out with shows. She can see a mark on a wall that no one else ever can. Absolute crackpot. When Aila trashes the place I secretly love it [emoji38] 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Grace's elder cousin (3 and a bit) is a holy terror for making a mess. And her two brothers aren't far behind her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The middle finger.Its emerged in the last week that there's a group of 3 in the nursery (Leon being 1 of) that have a wee huddle and share bad words out of earshot of the teachers.I picked him up from nursery on Thursday there and asked him if his friends were going to the new "Hilltop Primary" After the summer, that's being built just now.......his answer...."It's not even on a fuc*ing hill" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MP_MFC Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Just had our 12 week scan so getting ready for our first. Going between feeling amazing and proud to absolutely bricking it. This thread will be very useful. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This thread will be very useful.To go all "Birthday Caird Pish", this thread really is great. This one and the Depression thread have an almost unwritten rule that it's a serious one and not one for the usual pisstaking. So feel free to ask anything, regardless how daft you think it may be. Everyone has different experiences obviously so not only do you get responses but you normally get a variety which is great. Have to admit I never felt nervous at all until the first night when everyone left and I thought, "Shit, I'm responsible for this bundle now". But for all she's pushing buttons now (2), as G_Man said, being a Dad is the best thing in the world. So far there hasn't been a day when my wee one hasn't made me laugh (even recently when she's been a wee shit!). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
