@winniebee: Awww! I think he's just at that age where he's resistant to strangers. The first couple days of "school" might be rough, but once he gets used to it, it'll be fine!

@MamaG: @KayKay: Hope the kiddos sleep it off!
@winniebee: Speaking of R, your IG pics he looks soso big and our baldies are getting hair.... mom
Well G joined the crib climbing club last night
Heard her calling me around 3
Went to her door and thought, "Man it sounds likelike she is right here!" Opened the door WHAM! She hugged my legs so tight....lol..probably was scared in the dark!
She told me "I fall crib!"
This morning I asked her did you fall? She put her leg right over the rail and just slide down.... Ohhhh boy!!!!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@winniebee: Aww, probably just b/c things are different! Hope he is feeling more adjusted!
@FaithFertility: Haha, she's like fall?! Who do you think I am, a baby?!

@snowjewelz: Kicker is we were on night 4 of her going to bed 100% on her own she asks to go night night and I lay her in crib and she says "Bye!" Sleeps 8:30-7:30/8
in her room, so I was thinking!!! OMG we are on the up and up.....but maybe since she is acting like such a big girl the bed transition will be better than expeted!!!!!!!!!!
We are going to let her pick out bedding tonight
Most likely Minnie Mouse....lol but Dory is a fav these days too!
And I guess better now while we still have a few weeks before AJ!

@FaithFertility: Thats awesome she's been sleeping all night in her bed on her own! Wish that would happen for us. E's getting good about sneaking into bed now, half the time I don't even wake up.
Hope she stays in her bed without the crib rail!
@winniebee: Hope Ryan does better today!

@josina: It was out of now where Sat she basically jumped out of my arms and wanted to lay in the crib and I just layed her down and she said bye......lol

We are still debating on 2 options -
A) Convert the crib (we lost the piece to do it tho, will have to see if manufacturer can send us another one). That also means we'll have to anchor the dresser, and proof the closet doors b/c she can reach the handles and open... Then that also means DD2 will sleep in our room
B) Move her straight into big girl room which is currently the spare guest room. Will have to get a mesh rail for the twin bed, move my old desk into the basement and re-furnish with other appropriate furniture.
We are def leaning towards B!

@FaithFertility: Bye mom, I'm a big girl now!
E says 'go' now, like get outta here! (not at bed time though!)
@snowjewelz: B sounds easier.
eggplant / 11861 posts
@snowjewelz: Yes, I said the same about dresser! We have the wall strap mount, and her closet has nothing on floorfloor but her books!
Still scares me, she has a fan plugged in so that has to go and we will have to install a ceiling fan!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@FaithFertility: I know! So many things to think about! I am also tempted to just completely strip the room and do a floor bed, I'll have to see how much energy I have to deal with this, haha...
@josina: K copies DH and tells our dog to move, haha! And DH says it in a not-so-nice way either and she copies the tone even exactly!

@FaithFertility: K slept it off and has been fine again. Just the standard snotty nose. We lowered our crib finally a couple of weeks ago and she's been good. I'd like to keep her in the crib until at least January if possible. When I rock her at night, she will lift her head and look at me then her crib and rub my cheek. That's her way of letting me know she's done and ready to get in her bed. They do grow up quick.
@winniebee: I hope the transition is smooth. K doesn't transition well (much worse than C ever was). We are transitioning to a new class on 8/22 and I hope it doesn't take 6 weeks for the crying to stop again. I think her main teacher and most of her class is moving, so hopefully that will help.
@snowjewelz: C used her converted crib/toddler bed for about a year. I think she would have stayed in it even longer, but we needed the crib for K. Are you going to co-sleep attain?

@MamaG: So sweet!!!!!!! G's is on the lowest, she kind of hung from the top bar and put her leg over!
Silly kids!
BTW her singing/counting on IG is adorable!
pomelo / 5298 posts
@FaithFertility: Thank you. I love that it takes her a bit to recognize herself on the phone and then she starts making faces. She's such a silly kid.
We had night #2 of not wanting to eat dinner. But she sat in my lap and then ate her dinner. It's not a habit I want to build. Is it time to ditch the high chair and get her into a booster at the table? I love having her mess contained to her tray, I don't look forward to her having her mess all over the table
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@MamaG: We do want to co-sleep again... I just figure moving K to big girl room will just be one move; if she stays in her current room, eventually K2 will need it and she'd still have to move. I also wonder if she'd be jealous that her sister gets to sleep with us and not her?
eggplant / 11861 posts
@MamaG: Ohhh that too, G now is at the table 90% of the time and she will EAT we had nights of no dinner last week too!
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@MamaG: I like containing Kara in the highchair too... She's a messy eater!

I suck at keeping up with this lately! Micah has stopped climbing out of his crib (yay!) but he has started getting sleep terrors. Those are THE WORST.
pomelo / 5298 posts
@whenoceansrise: night terrors are awful. C had a few. We didn't do what is recommended either (not touching them). We would pick her up and do the battle. The one thing that we found would snap her out of it was taking her to an open window and letting her look outside. I don't know why it worked, but it did every time. She had less than 10 total, but the really do suck. And we really sucked at following all internet recommendations.
pomelo / 5298 posts
@snowjewelz: I really can't give any advice as we don't co-sleep. But I can tell you that jealousy runs deep in our house over pretty much everything. We try to hype up being the big kid, but it's not always effective.
nectarine / 2053 posts
@MamaG: I need to try the window thing! We tried to touch/hold him but it just made it worse!
eggplant / 11861 posts
@whenoceansrise: Ohh I am so sorry, that would break my heart!

@winniebee: Oh that's so hard J does really well with our nanny, but I think that if we had another sitter now he would totally freak out. I forget what R is doing for school - is it daycare or a young preschool program?
@FaithFertility: Poor thing falling out of her crib! Sorry that you have to deal with that though - ugh.
@MamaG: Glad K is doing a little better today!
I think our nanny just puts J at the table in his booster (no tray) but it definitely makes things messier. I should probably start doing that soon though - these kids are getting to be so big! I will definitely keep the straps on the booster though. We let them eat at a little table outside sometimes and he only sits for about 2 minutes.
pomelo / 5298 posts
@whenoceansrise: the recommended action is to do nothing but make sure they are safe. I just couldn't watch her roll and scream like she was being hurt without intervention

@MrsF: he's going to the Montessori school where Ty goes - he's going 3 days 8:30-3:30 and Ty is doing the junior K program there, 5 days. We had them signed up for this much school when we thought there would be a new baby in October. Now it just seems like way too much and that Ryan doesn't need to go at all, but my husband feels strongly about Ryan going to school. And we are keeping the nanny part time so....yeah, my salary will be a wash next year! I see you are TTC for #3 again....so exciting!!!
honeydew / 7283 posts
@winniebee: It must be so hard to have made these plans based on completely different circumstances. That's great that you're already comfortable with the school though. I'm sure that both of the boys will thrive - these kids are getting bigger every day! And yes - TTC #3 - such an overwhelming idea but we're excited.
How is life for you these days? I can see on IG that you guys are having lots of summer adventures! Moving towards October must be so full of emotions though
And I hear you on the salary being a wash. I literally refuse to do the math!
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@MrsF: I know my husband keeps saying don't even worry about the cost of school since we want to send them regardless of whether I'm working. Still though...yuck. Ty will be in K the following year, so it's just one more year of bad hurt!
Thanks for checking in. I'm okay - some days are still really hard for me and some days I somehow get through without many tears. We are planning a trip for the fall so we will have that to look forward to. Otherwise, it's just living life the best I can. I see a therapist weekly (actually just dropped to every other week) and we are going to start seeing someone as a couple too. I'm pretty sure I want to TTC again at some point, but my husband is super, super reluctant. So hopefully talking to someone will help us figure that out. I just can't imagine ending our story with such a heartbreaking loss. The fall will be lonely, I'm sure, so I'll probably double down on work and try to over schedule myself socially to get through it.
wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts
@MrsF: So exciting!! Fingers crossed!
@winniebee: I am super duper not looking forward to two in daycare either! I was just thinking about you when reading about MaryM's heartbreaking update. I hope that you and your husband will be able to get to the same page regarding TTC, all in due time
hostess / wonderful grape / 20803 posts
@snowjewelz: I know, my heart truly breaks for her. It really brought my feelings back to the surface reading her post.

@mrsf: i hadn't seen the TTC news. clearly i need to do more thread stalking good luck!!
@winniebee: E cried for the first time ever when I dropped her off at the Y this morning. I think part of it was that K was at a different camp, and lately having her older sister has been a form of security blanket since they go to the same room (and K has actually not been going outside with the big kids so that she can "take care of E"!). But it does make me a little nervous for a month from now, too! They change so much everyday that I'm sure we'll be on to the next issue by then? Hopefully?
pear / 1961 posts
oh, was also going to say, we moved E to a booster on regular chair awhile ago...maybe...4 months or so? she was practically insisting on sitting at the regular table, but i wanted a way to keep her buckled at least. i hated having to wash the tray separately anyways, so wiping down both her and K's spots at the table isn't much different! we probably also created a monster because lately she just really wants to sit next to K on the bench...
eggplant / 11861 posts
@winniebee: I think about you so often I sometimes even have trouble posting to Oct board! You ladies are special!!!!
@MrsF: Yay for #3 Best of luck!!!!
honeydew / 7283 posts
@winniebee: I agree - school is so much more than just childcare! Still hurts though...
I'm glad that you guys are getting lots of support. Whether or not to TTC must be such a difficult question, especially if you're not quite on the same page. I hope that you're having more and more good days, but also that the people in your life are giving you lots of love on the hard days
honeydew / 7283 posts
@snowjewelz: @FaithFertility: Thanks!
@KayKay: Thank you! And I think that @winniebee: posted that comment about 5 minutes after I "outed" myself on the POAS thread. She's good!

Back home from vacation. M had so much fun seeing his cousin and at Disney/Universal/Sea World. Now to get M back on his schedule. 3 hr time difference made that hard!
@MrsF: Good luck trying for #3. I got the ok from my OB to start trying for #2 whenever I want.

@AngelicOne: aGlad you all had a great trip!
Good luck TTC #2 when you start!!!!

@AngelicOne: Glad you had a fun vacation and good luck with #2 - so exciting!

@AngelicOne: Exciting! And glad you had a great trip! Love Disney!

@MrsF: @AngelicOne: Good Luck TTC, ladies.
We've started the phase of memorizing books. K will recite "Brown Bear, Brown Bear". It' the current favorite book and goes in and out of the car with her. Along with her "tat" (cat) and a A&A blanket if she can manage all three.
Another favorite is Fire Truck by Alvin Ulz. I think this is a daycare book for us because C loved this book/song to. To the point we had to buy the book and pay a ridiculous amount for it.
