In California to be exact. We didn't get the tablets until we were in Hong Kong. So we used beer.

So I'll try again, you cracked me up, so funny, you can tidy up when the spud is 3, all households are like this, anything different and the mother either hads post natal depression or a cleaner.<BR/>I recommend Medised (calpol alterntive but makes them drousy) I had to find an alternative when during molar cutting at midnight I gave number 1 son a dose of calpol and within 15 minutes his eyes were burling and he ran around the living room for 4 hours, I cried for 3. Also Ashton & Parsons, herbal teething remedy is fab, settles wee upset tummy too. It states dab on dummy or finger or whatever, bugger that, open (it's like an askit powder) Spud will open his mouth as he gets used to it and will love it, pour in.

We all live like this and when we have visitors stuff all the mess into the room they are least likely to go in, and pretend we live in clean ordered homes. <BR/>I think this blog is brilliant, it'll have me smiling all day. <BR/>Wait until you have three of them doing it to you, it's scary, believe me, but the cuddles and kisses and 'I love you mummy's are unmissableFrog in the Fieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09990222544828204911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-84484077771864858982007-08-31T04:17:00.000+01:002007-08-31T04:17:00.000+01:00Lol!!!

Even his naturopathic doctor (an alternative medical doctor who emphasizes holistic approaches) recommended both baby tylenol (same active ingredient as Calpol) and baby Motrin (over the counter pain killer and anti-inflammatory). She said that teething pain is pain without purpose, that only makes babies miserable for no good reason- and can take valuable time away from their development. Those early days of pain seemed so cruel to us- Kai just couldn't understand why he was being tortured so, and I was worried the throes of suffering were casting a shadow over his typically sweet mellow vibe. The first time we gave Kai baby motrin- our cheerful little man was back in our midst. He can go for a few days at a time without it, but other days we give it as directed to free him up for demonstrations of entropy :) among other things... It's wonderful to hear of Charlie's exploits! I was thinking, "At least he put the remote controls in the washer- quite tidy considering he could have left them strewn about the floor!!!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-18029673145669483692007-08-30T22:13:00.000+01:002007-08-30T22:13:00.000+01:00Lock the doors, shut the curtains, peek out the bl...Lock the doors, shut the curtains, peek out the blinds warily!

My blog is not public at this time, (still deciding if I want it to be. My entries are not as well-written and as funny as yours) but on it you would find stories very similar to this.Lisa @ Boondock Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11430994283914399581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-82793676166255751792007-08-30T14:25:00.000+01:002007-08-30T14:25:00.000+01:00This is laugh-outloud-good!I have similar messes b...This is laugh-outloud-good!<BR/><BR/>I have similar messes but my cell phone usually disappears in the rubble, too. <BR/><BR/>Have a good day!PJ Lorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03488967344484065880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24354635.post-60545219895376213132007-08-30T12:19:00.000+01:002007-08-30T12:19:00.000+01:00"...a small squealing potato..."
