Baby clinic

Even though we were at clinic last week for our one year injections I popped along today as I wanted to talk to our HV (she was on leave last week).
Elliot's cot sleep has got progressively worse over the last few months and he is spending more and more nights in our bed.
The only advice she could give me again was controlled crying/sleep training.
As we have been getting less and less sleep (and my back is in pieces) we finally gave in and have tried again. After two hours of crying, whinging, moaning, throwing dummies and binkies out of cots they both settled themselves to sleep in the cots. There was a lot of hand holding, head stroking and leaving them to cry. But we got there just fingers crossed they sleep all night.

On a much more fun note I took the boys to a gymnastics class today. It was great fun they seemed to enjoy themselves and it gave me a bit of exercise too. The lady running it was very nice and helped with the boys. Mr L is off work for the next two weeks he's going to come with us and after that I may go to the Thursday sessions as there are two staff members on and the one will be able to stay with us for the whole session.

The boys really surprised me with how good they were at some of the activities other I think are a little advanced for them. The group is for 1-4 year olds so needs to cover all those ages and abilities.

I'm off to enjoy the peace and quiet before one or both babies wake
