jesse has way too many toys, he doesnt even play with half of them, but we have a big family so its to be expected as people are always getting him things, and i did go mad at christmas! and plan to get him quite a few things for his birthday,
i like him having toys though, he isnt spoilt he doesnt have as many as some kids the same age i know and i try and make sure the toys he does have are as stimulating as possible! downstairs he has a toybox, his activity table and his animal train
and upstairs he has quite a few toyboxes and shelves and some other stuff scattered around, he has a pullup giraffe thing that i keep meaning to bring downstairs cus it was £40 and he hasnt really played with it yet!
what are you planning on getting for birthday presents?
my list so far is
one of those ride on bikes with a handle so i can push him around in the park or just to shops etc instead of in his pram
a swing for the garden
a ball pool
a rocking dinosaur
and i was thinking of getting him a sandpit!
there was some other things but they are the main big things hes getting
WELL.. we ended up in A&E today with jesse for the first time, he crawled over to the fireplace and pulled a candle down it smashed and the galss went everywhere, stuart was soo quick to grab him up away from it but he'd already managed to rub his hands in the little splinters of glass and then rubbed his eye and face!!!
he was absolutly hysterical stuart had to pin his arms down and hold his head still so i could pick glass out of his eye, i was panicking soo much, but i managed to get it all out, though he has little cuts on his hands, arms and on his cheeks and neck from were he was thrashing his arms around before we got the glass splinters off of his hands!!
we decided to take him up to A&E just to check i had actually gotten all of the glass from his eye, so when we got there the nurse was such a bitch stuart kept elbowing me cus of how i was reacting but i couldnt help it i couldve punched her!!
her - jess schofield
me - jessE schofield
her - are you the parents?
me - yes (her face changes in patronise mode)
her - so what happened
me (tell her the story of what happened)
her - YOU LET HIM PLAY WITH GLASS :O
me - no as iv just explained he grabbed it off the fire place in a split second
her - so what fire place do you have?
me - what does that have to do with it?
her - im trying to establish how a baby couldve have smashed something by himself
me - he dropped a heavy glass candle off of a high fireplace and we have laminate flooring
her - well she doesnt look distressed
me - HES A BOY!
her - so where you there at the time?
me - no we were both upstairs.. of course we were there at the time,
stuart - (explains he has some cuts on his cheek and hands)
her - we will have to strip him and check him over
me - well what good will that do if he's hurt his eye?
her - gives me a dirty look
as we walk out the room i tell stuart loudly to get the matches out of my bag and give them to jesse so he has something to play with LOL
stupid cow i really did want to punch her in the mouth. the next nurse was lovely she poured some dye into jesses eye shone a light in and found there was nothing left in there and no scratches and said he was lucky not to have scratches and we were always best to bring him in and get reasurance oh and she didnt strip him and check him at all lol.
soo angry though how dare she patronise me like that, and she was definatly trying to accuse me of something it was just her tone of voice
it makes me think twice about taking him in if anything happens cus i dont wanna get spoken to like that!! x
Sophia doesn't actually clear her tray and eat everything I give her there is always stuff left to play with. Sounds like he is eating really well and give him a few more days and he will get even more skilled at eating! BLW rocks

oh and hello!
If my parents don't make it, it's no big deal because I never planned on doing big parties anyways but I want to make her first birthday special. But I'm doing a cupcake theme. Have you girls ever seen those huge cupcake pans? I always see them and think 'oh that is totally awesome'. So after looking at these cakes that seem so hard to make, I've decided I'm going to make a giant cupcake and smaller cupcakes and we'll do a complete cupcake theme. I bought the little cupcake paper plates, cups, napkins. 
I remember when I was a kid I had this really cute piano that I would sit at and play around with. I know someone else in our group mentioned it too but I can't think of names now. I've been thinking about it for a while so I searched for a pink one specifically. This is the one I found and bought right away.
