Jake is one month old today. In some respects it seems to have flown by and in others it seems much longer. It is known as a paradox. Amy had another bad night as Jake just refused to settle himself for bed. This morning when I woke she was in no mood to speak so I skulked around quietly getting my things together.
In the night there was a little projectile poo action which resulted in us running out of clean dry nappies. One really needs to keep on top of the whole nappy cleaning thing. I put a load in this morning. Maybe that is the best solution. To put in whatever is in the bucket before I go to work. The nappies are not getting cleaned properly with the Surcare detergent. We have tried soaking them with lemon juice in the bucket and applying stain removing spray locally before the wash but to no avail. I have found that using a stronger detergent such as Fairy does the job but I am not sure if it is okay for baby’s soft skin.
I am still getting into work an hour early so I can leave earlier. The trains are still quite busy and at Clapham Junction it is a struggle to get a seat because at that hour the train has only four carriages. Cheers for that South West Trains.
