the same question over and over and over again, so after answering the same question about 5 times it always turns into, "what do you think" or 'you asked that already, do you remember what the answer was?' <br />When my lil girl was born I was expecting to get the questions about why she sleeps lots and why she cries etc, but I never got those, instead it was "she sleeps lots coz she is just a baby aye mum?" or (when crying) "I think she needs her nappy changed mum'....So adorable! </p> <p class="fR"> <a
