Tongue tie - again!

When Wee Man was born I had real trouble breastfeeding him - my nipples were cracked and very sore. After a few weeks and being checked by lots of people we eventually figured out he had a tongue tie. We had it operated on when he was 4 weeks old and things got a lot easier. 

Wee Lass started off feeding ok, but was a little slow putting on weight. I didn't think she had a tongue tie because I wasn't sore. But over the last few weeks her feeding has got a lot worse and I'm having to basically squeeze the milk into her. It takes a long time and is uncomfortable for me. At the end of last week it trigged that maybe she did have a tongue tie - I had a check and yes, she does. I popped to the gp to get an official diagnosis (thankfully one of the gp's at my surgery is a breastfeeding expert) and then booked the first private appointment I could find to get it sorted out. We're off to Manchester for an appointment at 7pm tonight.  

First visit to the cinema

On Saturday we took Wee Man to the cinema for the first time. I wasn't sure if he would get bored. I shouldn't have worried - he loved it! We saw Postman Pat - the movie. He only took his eyes off the screen to get more popcorn. He has spent most of the time since pretending to be robot Jess the cat and lasering people with his laser eyes. 

Snack time fun

Wee Man takes a snack to school so I get a chance to be creative. This week we've had:

A little intruder (grape with icing eyes). Too many crackers for him in this snack - I'd swap half for some fruit next time. 

A fish shaped egg

And a couple of aliens 

Day at the beach

New wheels

In the toy pram

She fits just perfectly!

Potty training

We made the most of the half term holiday and potty trained the Wee Man. He did really well and we've had 100% success on for the last 4 days. He went to school today in big boy pants and did a wee on the little loo there. 

Here he is next to his first potty wee.
