25th June - I LOVE shopping!

Today was a fun day. I got to visit a shop that I have been following on Facebook for some time, Second Chance Risca and they were brilliant; really friendly and helpful I don't know if you are the same as me but I just LOVE a bargain!

Second Chance Risca

Now, I need to confess something to you all. We all like to think we are the best parent that we can try to be, but the reality is this: we are all just winging it and putting on a brave face. At what point did the world become so opinionated on on the 'right way' to parent?! Oh. I know. When the internet allowed us to. Well I say "whatever" to everyone else and just do it MY WAY. Ha. (Ok I do take an interest in everyone else's tactics as well but in the end it IS my way). Any way, I digress. My confession: My almost 16 month old baby still sleeps in our bed every night. Phew! I said it! Yes Mum, I'm sorry, I have still not cracked it. Until now.....

THIS is the key:

My new purchase - I love it!

I have a new plan. I am going to upcycle my lovely second-hand rocking chair and put it in his bedroom. Then I'm going to give him his bottle (yes, he still has one!) while sitting in the rocking chair and pop him into his cot (awake). Then I'm going to read my book while sitting in said rocking chair until he falls asleep. It will be easy! Ha. But you haven't met Xavier. He has an aversion to his cot. I tried the crying it out previously and after 45mins of crying I couldn't take it any more. This will be THE way forward I just know it :-)

I'll post a picture of the finished chair soon and let you know how we get on...... Georgie xx
