How do I get Julian to get up later?

How on earth do I delay a poo in the morning?  This morning I woke up at 330am coughing (probably because I went to bed at about 1015pm) and I went downstairs to get some cough mixture because I couldn't stop coughing.  Anyway must have woken Julian up with my coughing, as I heard him making noise in his room.  So I went to get him and took him for a poo then it was way to early for milk so I wanted to put him back to bed.  But he wouldn't go back to bed, he cried until 4.45 when I decided to give him his milk.  I thought maybe I'll keep him up till 9am but he went to sleep soon after his milk.

DH was saying that I should stop waking him up at 4am to go to the toilet.. but little does he realise that he is already waking up at that time to go to the toilet! It's not me!  And I could just leave him i guess till 5 but I don't like the thought of him sitting in his poo - I bet DH would just let him sit in his poo if it would just give him peace and quiet (which he does - the other day I came home and Julian had a poo in his nappy for so long that it burned his bottom and he has nappy rash which is peeling off his backside at the moment).

I guess the only thing I could do is keep him up later in the evening.  I put him to bed quite early - at about 620pm, maybe I will try to put him to bed at around 7pm and see if it makes a difference to his wake times.

Of course DH needs to go to bed earlier so he can get some sleep.  I don't know why he doesn't do that, and expects me to do that!

Here's a link that I thought would be useful.  Might try some of these things.

My craft project - Theatre scrub hats

Well I have the material and I finally decided to knuckle down and make some hats.  Unfortunately I don't have a sewing machine so it's all being done by hand!  Looks crappy though, wish I had an overlocker!

Here are some pics...

Kevin out, Julia in - what does this mean!

Julia Gillard has taken over the leadership of the Labor party, which means that now Kevin Rudd is no longer the prime minister - we have a woman Prime minister!

Now I have always admired Julia Gillard, I think she speaks well publicly and is not as emotional Kevin.  All these botched Labor schemes though will be the party's downfall - the building insulation thing, the school construction thing.

Well as lots of people say, she didn't actually get voted into being Prime Minister, it was like a hostile takeover.  I am not very keen on all this in party turmoil, booting leaders left right and centre because their ratings drop in polls - just look at NSW State government what a bunch of cock ups!

Anyway, it will be interesting to see what direction she takes.  She doesn't look like she can be pushed around.  People say she's a socialist, but I don't know why they say that.  I'll update this as we see what direction we go with this government.

Ugh using sposies

I hate to admit it but using disposables at night has made Julian sleep through.  Sigh it makes me feel sad but if that's what it takes to get a good night's sleep....

The bad thing is he keeps pooping in his nappy in the morning too!  I can't seem to get to him in time to get it into the loo!

Joke of the day - Happy/Sad

A woman was watching a movie with a happy ending, and the husband walks in and sees his wife crying over the happy ending of the movie.  "That is such crap," he says, shaking his head.  "How can you be happy and sad at the same time?  Only women could be so stupid.  Men aren't like that.  There isn't anything you could say to me that would make me happy and sad at the same time."

His wife looks at him and says, "Out of all your friends, you have the biggest dick."

4 days of bad sleep - is it going to end?

 I don't know what the hell is wrong with Julian, he has been waking up at night constantly!  I thought maybe he was coming down with something, or maybe he's got an upset tummy... I mean on Monday he pooed in his nappy so many times I missed 3!  On Tuesday hubby said he missed a lot of poos as well.

This morning he was up at 4am and I took him to poo and he did a little one, then hubby tried to put him back to bed and then ended up giving him his milk so then Julian went to bed.  But I had to get him up about half an hour later so I could go to work, and I put him on the toilet again and he did a huge poo.

Interestingly, one of my registrars at work, Amy, who has a son a little younger than Julian told me she has a couple of cloth nappies!  Now how cool is that!  I should get her one to try, she's using peapods and she quite likes them.
