Back to (front) Basics

So what is the difference between an aunt and a gran? Grans don't put your nappy on backwards.

Even I know that the picture of the bear goes to the front and that the sticky bits (before bowel movements) go either side of the bear - never cover his face (that means the nappy is too big) or stray so far from it that the bear looks lonely (that means the nappy is too small - or the baby needs some serious burping).

Having said that - Josh enjoyed having Tanya and Craig over for a visit and has been practising his crawling to surprise them with some controlled lurching for Christmas. Watching him come to grips with the rather complicated process of getting up on all fours and then balancing on his head just before he falls back on his belly is both intriguing and sobering. This kid is going to be going ballistic soon and I always promised myself that I'd show him the ropes. Better put my expensive gym membership to use or face being out-paced by a toddler - or is that inevitable whatever I do?
