Subject: Baby, What baby? Sun Jul 04, 2010 8:58 pm

As a first time mum I was learning the ropes vigilant and watchful the way each new mum copes Second time around not at all stressed eldest at school babe washed and dressed went shopping for food needing quite a lot baby sound asleep in his carrycot pushed him in front dragging trolley behind got to the checkout ... and he slipped from my mind paid for the groceries carried them from the shop thought ...something is missing ... and my heart seemed to stop raced back into the store where I’d left him inside checkout ladies laughing me - with no place to hide he’d been so quiet asleep in his carrycot how embarrassing it was my baby I forgot! I chose Rose's poem BABY, WHAT BABY as poem of the week. It is what most MUms can relate too, also as a child I left my brother at the chippy. LOL Congratulations Rose, well done

I think many of us could relate to this poem. We hadn't had Jerram very long when I cam home one night to find Brian out and the baby in the cot. He had taken the dog for a walk. When he arrived home, I challenged him and he said he had forgotten we had a baby!

Well done Rose,. A great choice!
