Hellobee Boards

@winniebee: we will rock you?!?! What is with this song? G is obsessed apparently a girl at her sitters sings it!?

Glad R is doing well in the bed! Does Th like him in there?! G already asks for AJ to sleep with her...lol

@snowjewelz: I LOVE JL and 123 doesn't work for us either she counts too!!! She will comply usually with options but not always!
Brushing teeth is ridiculous!!!!! DH tells her either we do it and sing ABCs or I can brush them and hold you, meaning basically hold you down...lol

I love the age too! And the sibling love is the best!!!!!!

for brushing teeth, we play a game that we are looking for dinosaurs (or puppies, or unicorns, or whatever animal(s) we feel like that night) and then make a big show out of finding them, etc. it's ridiculous, but seems to keep both girls entertained *eyeroll*

Girl also LOVES brushing her teeth, so much so that I switched her back to non-fluoride toothpaste because she would go brush them all the time by herself and wasn't spitting the toothpaste out. but she figured out how to spit last week! hurrah! it's the little things these days...

@KayKay: Haha, that's too cute!!!

Teeth brushing only didn't become an issue b/c she did not enjoy her last visit to the dentist so DH tells her if she doesn't brush her teeth she has to go back... lol

@KayKay: Yep that game is old....lol she is a pistol!

@snowjewelz: I try that tactic too....she actually goes back next week

Just popping in to say we're back!!!! We went on a 4-night cruise to the Bahamas last week and had a blast!

@snowjewelz: Thanks! It was a lot of fun! It was a 4-night cruise that left from Miami and stopped in Nassau, CocoCay, and Key West. CocoCay is Royal Caribbean's private island. At both Nassau and CocoCay, we just lounged on the beach and played in the sand, which Xander LOVED. For some reason, Logan didn't seem into the beach in Nassau, but he liked the beach in CocoCay. And Key West is mostly shopping, but we found a great place for lunch that had chickens roaming free under our feet and the kids loved that. It was a lot of fun! My only complaint is that Logan wasn't allowed in the pools (have to be potty trained), but we knew that ahead of time. And dinner service was a little slow for little kids. But we all had a fun time!

@Adira: Glad you had fun on the cruise!

We just got back from vacation too! We are glad to be back home in the sun & warm weather though. (Went to MN and froze...there was a little bit of snow!)

@snowjewelz: @AngelicOne: @MrsF: Thanks! I think they had a blast!!

@AngelicOne: Good old MN!!!!! Where about?!

@FaithFertility: Thank you! Ooooh, you're cruising in March?? Where to?? You're going to have so much fun!! But if you're bringing the littles, just know it won't be quite as relaxing as a vacation without them.

@FaithFertility: Ooooh! You'll definitely have to tell me how it goes! We're thinking of doing Disney next time!

@FaithFertility: @Adira: One of my good friends went on a Disney cruise last year and said it was amazing! We'll probably just do Disney in FL at some point in life (you have to meet us there, @FaithFertility )

Kara still has no desire to potty train. My friend just potty trained hers and said pee soaked clothes/shoes are soooo gross. So now I'm really hoping she'll be ready this summer b/c I do not want to potty train during fall/winter!

@winniebee: WW JL D? Haha!

I read this somewhere, but what we're gonna start trying eventually is do start making excuses to leave the room and ask her to stay in and wait for us.... I read that it has worked for many, tho a pretty slow process.

@Adira: Sounds like a great vacation. Poor E's page in his baby book for 'first vacation' is still empty!
@snowjewelz: Yeah, no luck on potty training here either. He'll sometimes sit on it but doesn't go. Hopefully once it's warmer out we'll just let him run around outside in undies and he'll figure it out.
@winniebee: At least no night wakings so some improvement? Maybe the new-ness of the new bed and freedom (sans crib/sleep sack) will wear off and he'll stay put?
Ethan has always had a projector which seems to help, we have this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M19POYO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@snowjewelz: JL would say something like "I see you got out of your bed. That is not allowed. Time to go back to your bed. It's bed time." And I say that on repeat 1000 times until he escalates it by doing something like....get in bed with Tyler....turn on all the lights....throw water at Tyler (last night). Then Bryce goes in and yells at him and he goes to bed. It's like he feels the urge to escalate it to get more attention.

@winniebee: Thank you!

@snowjewelz: We'll definitely be doing Disney World at some point for sure!

@josina: Uh, I don't have a baby book for Logan, haha.

@faithfertility: i forgot you were from MN and didn't realize it was Edina! We're in SW MPLS now

@winniebee: last night i got so frustrated when E came out of her room 2s after I left that I put the dog gate across her door. haha. she started sobbing so I told her I'd take it down but it was going back up if she came out again. she stayed in!
