Florida sounds nice right about now, Pretty. 25 days?!? Defo get moving with the application, esp with the holidays coming up. That’s so annoying about the fire alarm! We lived in a 28th-floor apartment once and they went off so frequently, and right above our bed. We basically never left the apartment coz of was always false, which is pretty bad. I’d be incensed if I had a sleeping baby at the time. Hope A adjusts to his new room soon. I was gonna say a while back that I’m surprised subsidies don’t cover part time daycare - they did for us, but we essentially paid the same as we would for full time.
Kitty I hope you get some peace of mind with the Harmony. I sometimes wish they didn’t provide the stats as 1 in 350 but rather as 0.28%, which is much less anxiety provoking.
Dobs, as others have said I can definitely relate to feeling like a bad mum at times, and in fact just the other day I listed off the various ways in which I and other people I know have endangered our children and I realized everyone can relate. Or maybe we are all bad parents. Countless falling off the bed, picking up knives and scissors, sunburn, safety pin stuck in throat for days, fracture caused by falling down a few steps, falling down an entire flight of hardwood stairs... K it sounds REALLY bad listed here but obviously these are from different people, and they’re all great parents!
Argh I’m spent, sorry. I’m sick and this took a long time to write, but love to you all.
p.s., CB yes our crimbo tree has been up for a while. Why not spread the cheer early eh? As per Pretty, I also remember thinking crimbo was a weird word in junior school. So very British.

re naps, Hayden was having 2 long snoozes for at least 2 hrs when he was very little & around 8/9 wks sleeping through, i left him to moan in the basket in the daytime & he eventually went off to sleep after about 10mins or so, im pretty sure thats why he lots better now at self soothing to sleep at naps & bedtime .. 
Hayden would pop his dummy out & suck his thumb when he was tiny
If you're ever interested, there's a link in my signature (the cystic hygroma thing) about my entire experience. Anywho he is definitely on the autism spectrum (but high functioning), but he's a happy healthy 7 year old who is doing amazing and doesn't have any of the substantial problems the original doctor said. 
I'm curious to know what you ended up going with and how it's working.
I have to say that when my great nan was dying of cancer she refused treatment after a while and she looked so much better after they stopped. My mum says she felt better as well, and she peacefully died in her sleep one night. Same with hubby’s granddad who died last year, refused treatment and was still laughing and joking until the day he died. It’s a really tough decision and it absolutely depends on the likelihood of his survival/ beating of it xx
