And a fenced-in yard would be a life saver! We just have too much space and too much trouble for an always-on-the-go toddler to get into. On the plus side I get lots of exercise following him around.
But thank goodness no freezer stash!

Thanks ladies...just knowing you are here supporting me means so much to me. I waver between having a few minutes of being ok and then crumbling all over again. I will keep you all posted.

@MrsF: Nothing exciting here. K starts her new daycare class tomorrow (finally!) as she's been in this one since October! She's crazy fun (and frustrating) right now. She's full of personality.
The big kid has been sick. So much for a holiday weekend! I'll be home with her again tomorrow as she's had a fever all day. But she also just finished up her school year too.
And goodness gracious, when are these canines going to finish coming through?!?!
And winniebee and Mrs Scallop have all my love for totally different reasons. Talk about the range of 'feels' around here.
-
@mrsf: I feel the same! So hard when someone is struggling through something like @winniebee: to even think it's worth writing about an early wake up or a tremendous tantrum.
We finally got our backyard fenced in, and we bought some patio furniture and a water table & kids adirondacks this weekend so we can spend all.of.the.waking.hours outside this summer.
-
@mrs. Scallop: Charlie's outside adventure looked awesome!! Glad he is getting to enjoy some sunshine and fresh air
-
@winniebee: I know we are all thinking of you so often, and here to talk whenever you need to
I hope you are surrounded with love and family right now.
-
@MamaG: I know what you mean about the feelings! I'm so elated for mrs scallop and so heartbroken for winniebee.
Hope k's new class goes well tomorrow!
@KayKay: my feelings exactly! We better be outside all day every day!
-
@winniebee: completely understandable. Thanks for checking in with us. You've been on my mind, and I'm sure everyone else's since we heard.
-
@MrsF: we had a pretty lazy weekend, although did blow up K's new pool and she had a blast splashing around in it.
-
@MrsF: My heart has been so heavy for her, I even messaged your exact words!! I can't even think of a thing to say on our Oct board!
@MamaG: Ughhhh her last 4 teeth are taking FOREVER! Horrible night sleep I don't think she has slept a full night in her crib in almost 2 weeks, it's my fault I love her in our bed and she sleeps so I sleep, but we can't do this forever (insert palm to forhead)
@KayKay: they will love it, G romps the yard daily!!
@MamaG: Good luck K!!!
@winniebee: No words just prayers and lots of love
-
@winniebee: I can't even begin to imagine what you are going through... my heart just breaks for you and your situation. So much love to you.
-
@winniebee:
There are no words, but know that baby boy is loved by more people than he'll ever know -
@winniebee: Thinking of you today as you go through this horrible time. It still seems so unreal, I don't even want to believe it, so I can't imagine how you feel.
@KayKay: Oooh, water table, I need one.
And a fenced-in yard would be a life saver! We just have too much space and too much trouble for an always-on-the-go toddler to get into. On the plus side I get lots of exercise following him around.@FaithFertility: Horrible night sleep here too!! I'm hoping its just a phase!
We've gone from 'are you ready to go night night' and E going to bed no problem on his own, to screaming/tantruming every night for 20-30 minutes (we lay next to his crib till he falls asleep). He is also crying at drop off now so I wonder if its just separation anxiety? He's fine if I lay IN the crib with him, or if he's in our bed but neither we want to make a habit of.
He also can get out of his crib now, usually around 1/2 am I hear a thump, cute little footsteps and then he's asking to get in bed with us. Now looking for a toddler bed even though I didn't want to make the switch already!
And last night went to a memorial day cook out and E sat with all the other kids at the kid table. How is he sooo big already!? -
K has her own variety of sleep issue. We never established a routine of rocking her or anything at night. But she cries when we put her in the crib and gets a death grip on us. We never rocked her because she didn't want to be, she was restless. Now all of a sudden she cuddles up to me and wants to be rocked. I absolutely love it, but don't want to create a habit. Thankfully, I only do it for a couple of minutes and then she seems to be okay.
-
@josina: Awww boo, weird as G goes down no issue just wakes MOTN and won't go back down
-
I have nothing much to report... K stopped waking up at 5am thank heavens; but she's definitely up between 6-6:30. She goes to bed around 7:30, is asleep maybe around 8? I find that she needs time to wind down. I'm usually passed out along with her so I'm never sure what time exactly she falls asleep. She is always asking me to sing this or play that with her in bed. I comply at first but after a while I'm like no mommy's tired.
She's been fairly manageable (and fun); her tantrums aren't that bad (yet), but her mommy preference is really, really wearing me out (and makes DH feel a little bad). I have to be involved in everything she's doing. If I'm not there. She comes grabs my hand and yells, "mommy, come!" I don't know whether to laugh or cry sometimes!
-
@snowjewelz: yeah K drags me around the house too. If I'm on the couch, or somewhere she doesn't want me to be she'll pull on my fingers until I get up take me to her designated spot and say "sit! Sit!" Although if I don't move major temper tantrums ensue.
-
@MamaG: Aww, I would love the extra cuddles/rocking too. Not happening with E when he's mad and doesn't want to go to bed. That death grip is something else!
@FaithFertility: It is sooo weird because he was sooo easy to put down for so long! And I don't want to do a complete CIO and just leave him in his room. This is a compromise between DH and I b/c I would totally lay in his crib till he fell asleep if it were up to me.
@snowjewelz: Aww, so sweet but sad for DH too. On one hand its like soak it up, and on the other, its like give me space little lady! -
@josina: awww hahah DH is just like me he loves her in our bed, as we have from 8-usually 2/4 by oursleves
-
@snowjewelz: hope you can catch a break, that 1st tri was HARD!
-
So looks like our refrigerator just broke! Thankfully dh hasn't started his summer school hasn't started yet so he's home to take care of it. It's looking like we'll have a new fridge tomorrow or the next day. My first thought though was thankfully I'm not nursing and loosing an entire freezer stash!!
-
@Miss Ariel: Oh no to that expensive breakdown, but yes to not having frozen milk to lose!
Just remembered... yesterday E SLAPPED a little girl because he wanted on the ride-on she was on! OMG, poor girl had so many tears, I just removed E and told him NO. I hope that doesn't continue!
-
@josina: We have lots of hitting and kicking right now. We try to be overly dramatic, "OUCH" Hitting/Kicking hurts. K just laughs at us
She got a hand full of hair from C's head yesterday too.My personal favorite is when she screams at whoever isn't giving her what she wants. I need to get it on video one of these days. Her look on her face is just priceless.
-
@josina: Sorry you guys are having bedtime issues
That's so stressful at the end of the day! And yes - these babies are seeming so much like big kids some days!@MamaG: I rock J and sing to him for a few minutes before going in the crib. It's one of my favorite moments of the day
@snowjewelz: Glad she's sleeping a little later in the morning. You must be exhausted in the first tri!
@Miss Ariel: Oh bummer
But thank goodness no freezer stash!
-
@josina: @MamaG: Lots of sibling violence over here too. It's so hard to keep them from just going after what they want!
-
@MrsF: Yes! My fav time of day too!!
-
@winniebee: I think of you all the time! I am so sorry you are going through this and hope you are getting as much support as you need to get through this. So much love to you!
-
@winniebee: I have been thinking about you nonstop
-
@MamaG: Hope the new class went well! We have had various sorts of sickness for the last week or so. No fun! Thankfully I avoided the yucky stomach bug that both my husband and H had, but I have a cold now. No fun!
-
@josina: I'm grateful H has only climbed out of his bed once!! Not ready to transition to a toddler bed yet
-
@theotherstark: @FaithFertility: New class day 1, fail. She spent a lot of the day crying and took a whopping 17 minute nap. She has a lot more stranger danger issues than her big sister ever did at the daycare. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
-
@MamaG: aww man!! That stinks. H has some of the stranger danger too, now. I hope tomorrow is better, too! I'm sure it will be; this kiddos are so adaptable!
-
@MamaG: well than it can only get better!
-
@MamaG: oh no
I hope today is better!
-
@MamaG: our K actually starts her first day in a new class today as well. Although hopefully it goes better for her. She is switching to a new schedule over the summer as well and will be taking half days since dh will pick her up at 1... We'll see what that does to her napping...
-
@MamaG: Oh no! I hope she has a better day today!
K will be 18 months in a few days so I wonder when she's moving up... Now I have anxieties about her being in a new class too!
-
@theotherstark: This kid is a pro at getting out of the crib, lol. Again last night, 4 am. Quick cry, thump, in he comes to our bedroom. He's lucky he's cute.
@MamaG: Aww, poor girl, hope today goes better!
@Miss Ariel: @snowjewelz: Hope your class changes go well!! -
@Miss Ariel: I hope it's a smooth transition for K! And may the nap situation be okay. In our house 1pm is prime nap time.
-
@snowjewelz: The good news is they don't remember this age. K's old teacher talked to me this morning and she said it was hard but she can't comfort her as she needs to form bonds with her new teachers. She also added that there was a new kid that was going through his own issues that she thinks compounded K's issues. I just hope she can sleep today. Sleep makes everything better.
-
@MamaG: here too! I'm sure she'll pass out in the car, but hopefully he's able to transfer her for a longer nap.
-
@josina: she doesn't climb out but yells Maaamaaaa!
I mean.....
