Yes! Yes! Every time I get some sucky html email, I wonder who the
buggering hell is this Pete bloke anyway? By crikey he's got a lot to
answer for!
(To be honest the first time I saw it I took it personally. I thought
the spammer knew me by name!)

Eh? Reference? Or was the baby keeping you up?

Read your next HTML spam, and at the top is a setting
<x-stuff-for-pete>. So who is he?
And yes, the baby is keeping me up :-). No, not really. He's sleeping
in his own cradle (moving out of our bed), in his own room. Third night
now, so far so good, knock wood.

If he cries in the night, do you have to get up to go to him? I'm not
being critical, I just don't see how that works for people. I've never
quite understood the logic of putting babies in another room, so you
have to get up to go to them. I've never understood the logic of feeding
babies Nestle's idea of baby food either, but what do I know?

No, we waited until he was sleeping through the night in our room before
putting him in his own. He was in our bed with us until about a week
before the move out (then he was in his cradle). For a long time, we
all slept better with him in the bed, then he started to learn how to
kick :-).
It is nice having the room back for ourselves, and it makes a big
difference with all of us.
I don't get the Nestle's thing either...I mean, if the real stuff is
free, why pay for nasty manufactured stuff? Ugh, have you ever smelled
it? We bought some for a just-in-case scenario when we went out to see
Lord of The Rings, finally. I chucked it down the drain...if I wouldn't
drink it, I'm not going to give it to him.

Fair enough. I'm continually amazed at the flexibility of young kids.
Our daughter can quite happily put her feet on the pillow next to her
head. I'm lucky to be able to tie my shoelaces.

Nor me. It's just too disgusting for words. If the child's going to
drink coffee, get it started on some decent espresso. Quality counts for
everything.

Now, that would make sense (I am a Eudora user), but when you google for
stuff-for-pete, you get regular web pages as well, not just ones talking
about email.

Good to get them started on a caffeine habit early eh?
