@Adira: Yuck, housework, I totally avoided that today. Guess I'll be tackling it tomorrow.

@Corduroy: I got a potty and we thought we'd put him on it before his bath to get used to it. Well that backfired, he loves sitting on it and thinks it is so much fun and would freak when we put him in the bath. So the potty is there for now but we aren't going to continue with actively using it. Like the other ladies I'm going to wait until the start at daycare and I'm not sure when that is.

@Mrs. Blue: That is slow. Isaac has almost 3 molars in 3.5 months. I just wish this teething would end, I can't imagine with two.

It was so cute this afternoon, the neighbour and her little boy came to see if Isaac could play outside. He is almost 3. They had so much fun playing together. And by playing together they pretty much just each did their own thing while we chatted and refereed.

@ALV91711: yay for neighborhood friends. LO is obsessed with the almost four year old boy next door. She doesn't know to knock on the door so she stands by the garage and yells him name. She's gone to their house every day for two weeks now. We're trying to cut down on the frequency a bit because I don't want to bother the neighbors too much.

@Adira: we actually just put her down, after being up for 30 mins, and she is whinny but she is laying down. I gave her a sippy of water so maybe that is helping? Course now she is crying more. The poor girl has bags under her eyes. She seems totally fine so not sure what is up. Yesterday she would only nap on DH.
@blackbird: I think she did too. She did better once we took her water shoes off her and the longer we stayed out. Hopefully today will be better.

@Smurfette: Aww, sorry to hear that!

@Smurfette: She looks so cute at the beach. I hope that she sleeps better tonight. A tired toddler is not fun. Too bad about the weather.

@QueensBee: That is kind of funny, around here it is almost all boys and only a couple girls. Even at his daycare it is mostly boys in the baby and toddler rooms.

That is so cute that he was helping out with yard work. It is good to start them young helping out.

I'm solo parenting tonight and tomorrow night. It is kind of tiring. I tend to be a lot more organized though because I still want to have time to relax at the end of the night. And luckily I made enough dinner last night for leftovers for both nights so I don't have to worry about cooking.

@Adira: she said 15-20 besides Mama and Dada and she has about 20 but most she has said once. But she has said new ones this week. Our pedi is pretty low key about stuff.

E still doesn't say mama. She'll say "mamamamamama" though and look at me like she KNOWS what she's doing LOL. Although sometimes she says sentences that SOUND like real sentences, like "i want that" but it's so hard to tell

@Adira: I want to see pics too! I've been wanting to paint the kid's room a pure pristine white and do something with it, but right now they share a room. I think it might be a disaster trying to paint their room with all their stuff in it, and then have it smell like paint with them sleeping in it at night.... but then I don't know when I'll ever get the chance to paint their room. Maybe I should just do it.

@Smurfette: Poor girl, hoping she naps well today and caught up on sleep last night. She's so cute in her outfit though!

@ALV91711: Aw so cute - love seeing them make friends even if side by side!

@QueensBee: What a good little helper you have! The only thing J has been helping with these days is that he can throw away his own trash. I can't wait to put him to work, muahaha... jk

@Adira: We don't get an 18 month appointment. I wonder if its because we switched to a high deductible plan. Boo. I think my ped is pretty low-key too about the words.

@blackbird: J looks at me and calls me dada all the time!

@Adira: Oh I would be nervous too! Will you be doing it over the weekend then or maybe one of your Fridays off? I was just watching a youtube video on how to paint a room yesterday!

@Adira: Wow, you watched the video already?! You're quick. Thanks for the tips - those shortcuts are helpful!

@autumnlove: Poor girl! Hope she feels better today, and that it's just a fluke!

@Adira: SUPER helpful - I started making a list of supplies based on that video, but yours are better. DH's dad used to be a painter (now he has dementia or else we would've asked him to paint the room), so we have some of those supplies just laying around. The video didn't mention the outlet covers - glad you said that! Their room is very small and a simple rectangle shape so it shouldn't be too difficult. We'll probably need to take off the curtain rods too.

@Adira: Thank you for all the helpful tips!! I'm going to compile all your comments into a word doc so I remember. I know I'm going to forget all this when the time comes, haha... I still blame mommy brain.

(So sorry for hijacking this thread!)

@blackbird: my pedi told me it is totally normal for her to say Dada when she knows it isn't Daddy. She says it cause she can't say what she wants to say.

@blackbird: I hear ya!
