@KayKay: yeah Ty is often up at night with a bad dream or to pee whereas Ryan we only hear from him if he is sick! Stinks!
-
@Adira: I'm so glad that Logan is doing better and congratulations on the weight loss! That is no small feat as a busy mom
@KayKay: yeah, between the germs and the chaos I can't handle the play places either. Stay healthy!
-
@FaithFertility: M didn't stop using a pull up at night until she was able to go to the bathroom by herself. I think it's something they have to just be developmentally ready for (this coming from the pregnant lady who's up at least 2x/night
-
So I love G's sitter so very much, but latley just feel she needs to go to a school! She is so above the others there and I think would do great with other role modles and children! It's scary , but I think it's time!
-
@FaithFertility: she will love it! Tho K is the youngest she is moving up to the older toddler room! They have been sending her there for an hour everyday to slowly move her since they know a lot of changes are going on at home already. K's BFF at school is the oldest girl in their class; she is like me. I have a late bday but have always been friends with ppl older than me haha
-
@snowjewelz: that is so G she flocks to the older ones!
-
@FaithFertility: She will love it!!! My kids LOVE daycare and preschool. And my oldest has made friends that he's had since he was 2!! It's fun watching them all grow up together.
-
@FaithFertility: 2 is a great age for kids to go to school. They love routine!
-
Thanks ladies, I'm doing some research on places today
-
@faithfertility: she will love it! she seems so social, I'm sure she will love being around more kids and teachers!
-
@KayKay: she really is and I think she would benefit so highly I truly hate to say this but there's really no positive role model or somebody for her to look up to there anymore she seems to kind of be it and I think it's time for her to go
-
@Adira: We recently found out her BFF at school literally lives across the street literally, so they will be going to the same schools, take the same bus, etc!
-
@FaithFertility: Ugh her BFF is not the best role model.. We are positive she learned to yell "mine!" from this girl. She used to say it and be possessive but I think it got worse b/c of this girl haha.
-
@snowjewelz: awww hahah could be worse!
-
@FaithFertility: True! I am so thankful there are no biting/hitting incidents at all. I hope the older toddler room will be peaceful too...
-
@snowjewelz: Yeah that is great!
G told me once a boy got in trouble for going "phew phew" with his hand like a gun
In her words.. "(Name) does "phew phew" and she did the gun , "and not listen!"
I died!!!
-
@FaithFertility: Hahahahha! Ugh but that's the worst! I don't even think K knows what a gun is. G knows I'm assuming b/c of your DH?
-
@snowjewelz: NO, she has no idea! I don' think she even knew what that meant other than he obviously got in BIG trouble!!!!
-
@snowjewelz: DH is so careful he actually disarms it in his car and puts it in his case and then brings it in the house!
-
@FaithFertility: ooo that's good... Esp with these curious toddlers!!
-
@snowjewelz: YES!!! Plus I hate guns, can't get over the fear I have! When he carries out in public I always make sure I am on the opposite side it is on.....lol
-
@snowjewelz: OMG, that's awesome!!!! I feel like that will make the transition to school so much easier! That's the biggest thing I'm worried about with starting school. Xander is sooooo attached to his daycare friends and I don't think they are in the same ward as us, so he won't know anyone when he starts kindergarten.
-
@FaithFertility: G seems so social - I'm sure she'd love more of a school program.
Our kids are still here with our Nanny on my 2 work days but if I WOH full time I'd definitely want them in school. M goes to preschool 9-1 MWF and I can't wait until J can go (unfortunately he won't start until he's almost 4) I'm doing some mommy & me classes with him but it's not the same of course.
-
@Adira: Molly is so attached to her preschool friends but she just misses the cutoff for K next year so they will all be moving on while she does another year of preschool
I think it's the best thing for her developmentally to wait but I'm sure she'll be sad.
-
@MrsF: Awww, that is sad! But in a way, that might be good, because she'll get used to being without her friends in a familiar and safe environment.
-
@Adira: That's true, better this way than the opposite. We have decided to move her to the other (equivalent) preschool classroom at her teachers' recommendation. She's been in the previous room for 2 years so there's lots of comfort with those teachers. I know that lots of people love the other classroom too though, and of course the facilities and general flow of the day will familiar and comfortable to her.
-
Her cough is back
keeps her up all night!
She has Been on singular and thought that was helping but I guess not it is ridiculous and it is like nails on a chalkboard -
@MrsF: Aww! Well, the good thing is they are so young and they will make friends in no time I'm sure!
@FaithFertility: Aww man! I'm sorry! It's so hard to hear them
-
So K has been in a big scary/fear phase... It's interesting to observe! I think the first time she expressed fear was about ghosts during Halloween. But she wasn't actually scared...
We have a hand me down swing/rocker and the infant insert has this cute monster pattern on it. She would freak out saying scary monsters even though they are really cute and not scary at all. Then, she suddenly decided she was terrified at baths. One bath night, out of no where she refused to get in and cried/screamed. We had to pull out all the stops the next time - I said we could blow bubbles in the bath; DH went INTO the bath and held her... Then I recalled a Daniel Tiger episode and told her when you're scared just hold mommy and daddy's hands. So finally she stood in the water, and of course after a while she was playing and splashing like nothing happened and even proclaimed that bath was fun lol.
And yesterday she suddenly decided that swiper the fox from Dora is scary!
-
@snowjewelz: Could it be the shadows in the tub, that happened with G months and months ago!!!! Before she could really explain to us what was going on, and it was DH shadow and hers...poor K
It is cute/annoying those fears! -
@FaithFertility: I don't think so....? I think she heard the bath water running and it was loud...?! Also once DH made the water a little hot. They are so weird!
-
@FaithFertility: Poor girl (and mom), hope she feels better soon!
@snowjewelz: "scary monster" is something E says all the time! He does this weird thing where he puts his hands up, his eyes get huge, and he shakes - like seriously if you didn't know he did this you'd think he was having a seizure.
Crazy toddlers!
Good call on having her hold your hands! Hopefully its a short phase. -
@snowjewelz: around xmas, E started saying things were "scary", which at the time was mostly the Grinch movie, but now also includes a handful of episodes of Sesame Street!
I might have to potty train E this weekend. This morning she insisted on "peeing on the potty" and I didn't want to deal with it because we were already dressed and brushing teeth to try to get to school. I was helping K with her teeth, and E took of her pants and diaper, put the potty seat on the big potty, sat on it, and peed. And then was SO proud of herself. One of her friends at school came Tuesday wearing no diapers after potty training all weekend, and I think that convinced her. Ugh -- I'd really rather put it off since with a new baby it's impossible to be able to drop everything if she says she has to go! But I don't want to NOT do it if she's ready, you know?
-
@josina: Haha I need to see this! They are so funny!
@KayKay: Wow, she did it all by herself, she SHOULD be proud! But I totally get not wanting to do it with a new baby.. I'm kinda actually hoping she won't be ready till AT LEAST this summer when baby sister is a little older and it's warm so it's easier.
-
@KayKay: Thats awesome, sounds like she's ready! E will do this but just makes a "psssss" sound, he never actually goes!
@snowjewelz: it is, I need to get it on camera!
-
K is showing all signs of readiness to potty train except actually using the potty. She undresses. She removes her diapers. She wants to use the potty, but has had zero success.
-
@josina: K is soooo weird/funny/amsuing these days, but all those moments come and go SO fast and 99% of the time she won't replicate it on request so I barely have videos! Plus if I take out my phone, she wants it
-
@mamag: most of the time that is E too. it was literally just this morning that she actually took the final step, and it was probably an accident
if we're going to do it, i really wish we would've done it last weekend when we had a 4-day weekend and ZERO plans. this weekend is just normal length, plus we have an event for their school on Saturday...so I kinda feel like it won't be enough time to do the usual 3-day method (clearly, it's only 2 days). and we'll be travelling for president's day. am i a terrible mother if i just ignore it for now (slash let her do whatever she wants when she wants) and don't actually do it until march?! -
@KayKay: NO! Not at all a terrible mother. With C we just followed her lead and didn't do a "method". We let her use the potty whenever she wanted. Tried to have her at least sit on it at night (but we probably missed a day or two). We didn't get "serious" until her daycare teacher said she was ready and the teacher was willing to deal with it. Our daycare policy is three days in underwear before they can come to school in them. The teacher let us violate policy.
I'm sort of in that same boat (slightly anxious to just get on with it) as we are planning a little getaway in March for spring break and I don't want to deal with a newly trained kid on a roadtrip.
-
@KayKay: Not a terrible anything! We didn't train Molly until we really had to for preschool. Jack is really interested in sitting on the potty and I'll let him do it but I'm really not interested in taking it any further than that.
