Though her cousins (5&amp;9yrs) were there also and whenever they're all together DD seems to become a super chilled out 3rd child! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2485134 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 12:56:30 +0000 Foodnerd81 2485134@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: oh! On Thursday I clipped MY nails, the toddlers, and the babys! All in one day! And last week I convinced the toddler to let me clip her toenails, which are usually harder, by giving her a pedicure. And she say still for five minutes to dry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2485092 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 11:10:56 +0000 Cherrybee 2485092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@knittylady: Win! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2485041 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 08:53:02 +0000 knittylady 2485041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The other day no one got dressed, the television was on literally all day, we had cupcakes for lunch BUT! I clipped all the nails in both of my boys. So win? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484951 Sat, 05 Mar 2016 01:11:18 +0000 gingerbebe 2484951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to fly to MI next weekend for a whirlwind 2 day trip for DH's grandmother's funeral so I have been trying to plot all the ways to keep my 18 month old DS sane while I'm 30 weeks pregnant. After days of careful Amazon shopping, a properly fitting funeral outfit, portable DVD player, kid size headphones, and 2 Wiggles DVDs arrived on my porch. I also went to Dollar Tree to scope for plane toys and got a small cookie sheet, magnets, crayons, stickers, slinkies, animal figurines, toy cars, cheap board books, and Tootsie Pops for take off and landing. </p> <p>I also got 75% done organizing my closet in nesting preparation for the baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484933 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 23:08:24 +0000 .twist. 2484933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: I know right!? 😂 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484927 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 23:02:29 +0000 OhCaptain 2484927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I pretty much parent failed today: it's been a long week of solo parenting and the struggles I normally have were exacerbated. I'm sure I had some wins, but I can't recall. Can only recall stupid screaming episode.<br /> Blah. Thank God they have short memories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484925 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 22:51:56 +0000 Freckles 2484925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both kids in bed by 6:45pm. Boom!</p> <p>@Cherrybee: I also totally kept my cool while DD screamed her head off in the car. I have been calm and cool all week. 🙌 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484899 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 22:02:55 +0000 blackbird 2484899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: that's awesome! You shall pay for that tomorrow LOL </p> <p>I took T shopping for jeans and allllll the little old ladies at Tj Maxx swooned over him. He was SO good but he totally wanted to eat when I was trying on swimsuits. Like a look but don't touch appetizer LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484890 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 21:48:20 +0000 .twist. 2484890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! </p> <p>I took L to get his hair cut today and he must have been in a good mood because he was all please &amp; thank you to the barber. I was like a fucking peacock, strutting around. Yea... that's my kid, so polite! :D :D :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484800 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:24:18 +0000 petitenoisette 2484800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: Good work keeping your cool! I understand the frustration of crying kid during long commute :bummed: </p> <p>My win: Baby girl went straight to sleep instead of the 2 hour extravaganza she treated us to last night! She has FINALLY been sleeping well so extra glad because seems last night was just an aberration. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484791 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:11:13 +0000 arosebyany 2484791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We both made it through the 2 month shots! Even though he made a cry I never heard before 😭. Now we're at home and he's sleeping in my arms. All snuggles for the rest of the day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484786 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 19:06:53 +0000 Torchwood 2484786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fell asleep while holding LO during her nap, and we both woke up refreshed. Not really anything I did that I'm proud of myself for, but we needed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484773 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 18:50:51 +0000 Foodnerd81 2484773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@creativemomma15: c had a stomach bug with the baby was 6 weeks. It's kind of terrifying but we were lucky and no one else really got it. I felt sick one night, slept horribly, and the next morning was ok. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484758 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 18:30:21 +0000 creativemomma15 2484758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My win is very much like @Foodnerd81: We've had the stomach bug go through our house this week so my win is that I've been solo parenting today with my kids (one being our 2 wk old baby) and I've managed to keep my cool... Now I'm just praying that the nb &amp; I don't catch it and that DH gets better ASAP! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484728 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:36:14 +0000 Foodnerd81 2484728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: that's amazing! I would have lost it I'm sure. </p> <p>Mine is barely a win, but DH and the toddler are both sick, DH is pretty much useless with his cold, and I didn't scream at anyone today. Yell a little, yes, but not scream at least. And everyone is alive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484718 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:21:33 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 2484718@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a whirlwind morning but I'm feeling proud of myself for the solo errand marathon! </p> <p>Took all 3 kids to preschool dropoff and pickup (normal), but then we all went out for lunch, and then to the mall to pick out a birthday gift, a new lipstick and eyeliner for myself at Sephora, plus return something at Nordstrom.</p> <p>Kids were great! I was a bit sweaty in my wool cardigan, but we made it out with all errands accomplished. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484712 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:17:35 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2484712@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not a win that I caused but today dd has gone to school for 10 school days in a row. She has missed so many days with illnesses, even if she wakes up sick tonight or in the morning or Monday, two weeks is a long time to not miss a day so yay for that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484708 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 17:09:37 +0000 Mrs. Pickles 2484708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've survived a week of solo parenting and working full time.. DH is usually around so it's been a big change for me this week :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484624 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:52:10 +0000 Caly 2484624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't lose my shit when my lo threw up twice (reflux) while in the checkout line at the grocery store. </p> <p>On the same trip to the store, the twins actually threw up on 3 separate occasions between them. Once on the way in their car seat, inside the store twice and then again in the car seat when we were almost home. Good times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484597 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:30:49 +0000 lovehoneybee 2484597@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't freak out when the baby spit up ALL over me less than a minute before I was going to walk out the door to work...even though I had to run upstairs and change my entire outfit, because girlfriend fire-hosed me! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484589 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:23:17 +0000 Charm54 2484589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both kids napped at the same time, for two hours #winning 🎉 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484584 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:18:56 +0000 Mama Bird 2484584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: that's a big win, awesome for you!</p> <p>My win is I put the chores aside and just played with the kids. I feel like I'm always asking them to wait while I cook, clean, or feed one of them, and then it's bedtime. It was so nice just making them laugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484583 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:16:39 +0000 avivoca 2484583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I took a shower today and it didn't wake her up! I also didn't lose my patience in the middle of the night when she lost her binky and threw a fit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484565 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 15:05:49 +0000 snowjewelz 2484565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Goo you! I totally was not feeling it when DD woke up at 5am today :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484524 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 14:27:36 +0000 MoonMoon 2484524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awesome! I need to tap into some of those patience reserves </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/any-parenting-wins-you-want-to-share-today#post-2484519 Fri, 04 Mar 2016 14:25:45 +0000 Cherrybee 2484519@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so flipping proud of myself. Today, I picked E up from nursery. She moved up, this week, to the preschool room and is much more tired by the end of the day, plus she was up at 5am today (grr) so she was destroyed. She started crying before we even got to the car and cried the whole 45mins home. Once at home, she alternated crying with tantrumming, until I levered her, protesting, kicking, wailing into bed (straight to sleep!)</p> <p>And....... I didn't lose my patience! :happy: I remained calm and loving throughout. DH came home and lost his cool after 15mins, so I actually sent him to lie down while I dealt with her. </p> <p>I'm so proud. This is a big achievement for me. I find this situation really, really hard to handle normally. :happy: </p> <p>Share todays parenting wins! </p>
