Thank you positivepam, very kind of you. I will be up to 5 come March next year. My youngest DS and DiL are expecting their second one. SO pleased for them, especially as the first one was a little miracle in himself. My DS was told at the age of 14 that he only had a 5-10% chance of ever fathering a child, so GC4 was a delightful surprise, and now, 3 yrs on, they've managed it again...chuffed to bits for them!
Deedaa I was a bit accident prone with my DSs, but made me go slightly the other way. Was a bit blase I'm afraid, to the point of going out with friends for my 33rd Birthday having put my eldest DS to bed with a crepe bandage on his arm after he came off his bike. He was really complaining, but I told him not to be so silly, it hadn't fallen off so what was the problem. Ooops,..it was actually a greenstick fracture ......slack mother huh?
Still as unsympathetic today sadly..if it's not fallen off or pumping blood, then a quick rub and 'off you go then' tends to be my reaction.
Seems to do the trick though. GS4 banged his leg this morning while we were playing 'rockets', and when I asked if he was ok, the response was 'it's ok Granny, it's only a little one'... Bless
