    I've had an eleven month old too start this week.
    Got a fifteen month old joining her next week!
    Plus my three year old daughter.
    Plus my six year old son and the after schoolies!

    Going to have to sleep through each weekend to recover

    Poor you! I have 3 under 3 starting for 3 days each week next week, one being 11 months and one being known as a very energetic child. Best stock up on energy bars too! It can only get better

    Yes perhaps being off the entire holidays didnt help

    The after schoolies are so much easier they dont want me to make dens etc with them think Im just the food and drink provider

    But this lo although has settled really well is abit clingy (which is to be expected)

    join me with a beer (or wine whatever your tipple)

    I have had 9 month, 12 month and almost 3 the babies dont sleep at the same time and found myself struggling to eat anything so going to get some slim fast bars in so I can at least grab something for lunch

    The joys of childminding

    I'm knackered this week after being back into things after the hols and a new 8m old two days.
    Time Out.. The perfect time for thinking about what you're going to destroy next.

    Was there a baby boom last October I also have an 11 month old mindee, who started before the school holidays for settling in sessions.

    He is now back for 4 days a week 8-6, he is lovely but likes to have me with him, or in sight of me, at all times. He is a sibling of one of my 3yr old mindees, I got a variation from Ofsted back in July to have 4 LO's, 4 days a week 8-6pm (on a wednesday I only have 3 LO's), this has been my first full week and I am, as fussyelmo put it, pooped.

    The pram is still in my lounge, toys all over the place, plates and cups are in soak from dinner, where I fed 6 mindees and my own 3 teenagers and I seriously cannot get up to deal with the mess.

    They are exhausting at that age! You can't take your eyes off them for a moment! You'll soon get into a routine. Thank goodness they still nap at that age!
