Hellobee Boards

@Corduroy: That is a lot to put up with. I hope you make it until the 4th. How long are you on your business trip for? At least that gives you a bit of a break from them. The comment about the best meal would have just pushed me over the edge.

@Corduroy: omg that is so rude and inapproprate!! It's like they've forgotten they are GUESTS and need to behave as such, lest they aren't welcome to return

@ALV91711: ranch is a favorite on our house. wxcept she just likes to lick it like yogurt, gross

We stayed up! We had friends over for dinner. Fed the kids and then we ate a nice dinner while they played. Kept Reagan up later but she did great. Everyone was gone by 1115 but DH and I stayed up till 1230. Luckily R slept till 8, but I am dragging since I couldn't get to sleep till 130.

No clue how I am going to get up for work tomorrow.

@Adira: happy birthday! Young one!

@Adira: happy birthday!

Happy New Year ladies!!

Everyone was out by 12, but me! I woke Dan up when the count down started, he rolled over and kissed me without saying a word, then went right back to sleep. So exciting.

@Smurfette: That is awesome that R slept in, sounds like a fun night.

@Adira: Breakfast out sounds nice.

We put Isaac down at our neighbours last night and I successfully transferred him to his crib without him waking up when I came home at 10:30. He still woke up at 5am this morning even though he went to bed an hour late. So tonight he went to bed an hour early.

OK, I told myself I wouldn't vent about my in-laws again but WTF. DH has today off and I had today as a flex day since I traveled on Sunday. LOs daycare is open today but in-laws asked that we not send her since they want as much time with her and DH as possible. I got up with her at 5:10 as normal and entertained her all morning while keeping her quiet so DH could sleep. He wakes up at 9:30 and says his mom just texted that they are going to the city for the day alone. OK, that's fine but how about a little notice. 9:30 pm last night, fine. 9:30 am, argh! That was like 30 books and four tantruma I could have avoided. I know I sound like a horrible bitch but I'm just not the type of person that can take guests for two weeks while pregnant.

What is up with my kid, the last two nights he has woken up with a sopping wet diaper around 2am. I then change him and have to rock him for a few minutes. I can't even remember the last time I did a middle of the night diaper change.

I am looking forward to work and daycare tomorrow. It has been a fun 1.5 weeks, but it is time to get back into a routine again. Plus playing I chase you over and over is getting tiring!

@ALV91711: R has been super wet overnight but not needing as many changes during the day. Holding it I guess?
@photojane: good luck!! Day care is startig to talk about it tomorrow and putting then on the toliet. I was peeing tonight and R kept saying pee pee. DH came in while I was washing my hands and she said yes when he asked if she wanted to go pee pee. But as soon as she got on the potty she freaked out. We need to buy the seat to clip on our seats. Not doing a small potty since they use a regular at school.

@photojane: Good luck with the potty training! I hope it goes good.

I think we need to get a ring for the toilet since they use miniature real toilets at daycare. I'm going to have to find out from them when they will start putting him on the potty there and then we will start at home. He has started to sometimes say when he needs a diaper change, although he just says poopy even for wet. So I think we are getting close to being ready.

After 1.5 weeks off of daycare Isaac was a mess today. He didn't want to get dropped off and then tonight he was just a crank and not listening. He barely ate dinner and then went to bed pretty easy. I have a feeling it is going to be a long week getting back into routine.

@Adira: He didn't have a wet diaper overnight last night and it was pretty dry this morning, so I have no clue what was going on those couple nights.

Has anyone started thinking about 2nd birthdays?

@Smurfette: Isaac was asking to watch Mickey Mouse this morning and it made me think of R. I don't know where he came up with it though since we have never watched it before.

A family party would be fun and could be kept pretty simple.

My mom is flying out for the weekend of his birthday. I don't know if we'll have a little party or just do something the 4 of us. Either way I'm going to make Cookie Monster cupcakes for his daycare class.

DD is getting to be a real handful at bedtime. Every night it's a chore getting her teeth brushed and negotiating PJs. This started about a week ago and came out of nowhere. Anyone else dealing with bedtime drama?

@Corduroy: so far she is saving the drama for other times, not bedtime.

@blackbird: R doesn't like her bigger Minnie doll, just the little ones. She sleeps with Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Pluto, and Goofy. Then we keep Minnie in the car. But lately she just wants them at nite nite time not during the day. But wants to watch it all day. Weekends are exhausting telling her no more!

@Smurfette: so funny how particular they are! E also has some giant toddler sized teddy bears from MIL she likes to play with. It's like a puppy with a giant bone heh

J is very particular about his stuffed toys too. He likes playing with teddy bear and then the monkey that plays annoying music when you press it. He wants me to press for him all the time!
