I have say I didn't believe that the sun would get the stains out of my beautiful nappies. So I conducted a very scientific experiment when I peg them on the line ones with stains I used 3 pegs. When I asked dh to go fetch the washing in he asked why I had used 3 pegs on some nappies as they all looked spotless to him. Clearly the sun bleaching is magic.

I haven't touched this in ages but need a place to record the happenings of my sleep plan with DS2.
He has gone from being a reasonable sleeper to a totally unreasonable one. Last night (11/9/13) looked like this:

7:00 bedtime feed
8:20 feed
9:30 feed (daddy tried unsuccessfully to settle)
10:50 feed

2) Hibernation was removed from Ubuntu so you need to get it back into you shutdown menu again:
Open:

Code: Select all: sudo nano /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/com.ubuntu.enable-hibernate.pkla

My DS is 2 1/2 but is young for his age. He shows an interest in the potty and will do a wee and sometimes a poo on the potty. Sometimes he will go to it on his own. Sometimes he will tell me he needs changing. However none of this is consistent or reliable. So I am keeping him in nappies and offering the potty at each change. Should I wait a bit longer for him to become more aware or be more proactive? My DD was being toilet trained at this age and was more or less dry during the day? But every...
