Lauren: No I don't have an issue with Livi eating. She is an eating machine lol. Isaac on the other hand refuses to eat dinner most nights. He takes 2 mouthfuls and says he is done. It drives me insane
Ah Olivia is seriously doing my head in today.. she is so whiny and clingy this afternoon. all while cooking dinner she was hitting my legs and then hanging off them.. then she screamed for most of her shower then screamed while I tried dressing her and now she is sitting right beside me. ugh..
the boys aren't making life any easier right now either.. *sigh* sometimes I hate the afternoons. why oh why can't the boys keep the bloody bathroom door shut. am I asking to much???? I found olivia playing in the toilet this morning after Isaac left the door open and tonight Jacob left it open and she was playing in the sink... arrgghhh drives me mental. i can't put the gate up as Jacob and Isaac can't open it properly so it is easier to have the door shut all the time..
What do others do in regards to the bathroom. I swear we have this sort of issue with the boys
Ill join that group!! I know ash and me are really sick with colds atm but omg, he has never driven me this nuts.. 2 whole days of tantrums and screams!! ahhhhhhhhhh......
As for the toliet. ash is always in there he loves it and i hate it but i have a sliding door so of course he can open it! havent found a proper child proof lock yet!
Im here! LOL
I just got back from the aquarium and had an awesome time... and well.... got my first pash with Paul! lol god it was so nerve racking, but i thought what the hell.. it was technically date 3! LOL - hoping to catch up next week kiddy free so we'll see where that progresses.
Just realised its Sofias bday on thursday!! wow, Got any plans Louise???
Congrats Nic on becoming an Auntie btw!! you enjoying seeing a little one again??
Im clucky as all hell, but i always am so hehe....
I have just been cruising over the pages and must agree that this must be the month for toddler tantrums and whining. God its driving me nuts over here. Summers favourite word is no, no, no, NO! Grr ...
Buzzie - just read about your pash. WOOT WOOT. Way to go!
I have only seen my new little nephew in photo's so far I prob won't get to see him for a few weeks (if im lucky)
WTG on the kiss,. nothing like a good pash
WOw our first Birthday coming up.. EEk.. Olivias is creeping up too fast.. apparently Daddy has to buy her a pram and a bubby. she has asked for it no joke!
When we go shopping now she finds a toy and says Buy me buy me this buy me .. Cracks us up.. Thankfully she doesn't (or rarely) chucks a tanty when we say no not today..
We have bought her a 2 wheeler bike for Xmas. and she is getting a ride on motorbike thing from my mum for her Bday.. Apart from the dolly and pram I don't have much idea what to get her for her birthday this year. Simon really wants to buy her a cabbage patch doll He is so picky though. It has to have wool hair and look pretty hehe.
Will have a look on Wednesday when I go shopping to see what I can find. Might just leave it up to Simon to go hunting for it.
How does everyones elses little people go to sleep? Olivia is still cuddled off to sleep every night and day. It doesn't really bother me but sometimes I wish I could just put her to bed like I do with the boys and be done with it. Not really sure how to break the habit...
oh and one more cute thing. Olivia has taken to singing the mickey mouse song.. Hot Dog Hot dog hot diggity dog. It is seriously the most gorgeous thing. hot gog hot gog hot gigggggty gog.. .. Will have to try get it on video
Lauren - Congrats on the date. I hope the kiddie free date is even better
Nic - Olivia got a pram from my mum last Christmas and she LOVES it. She wheels it around the house, taking her 'babies' for a walk and 'shopping'. It is so cute how she tucks the toys in the pram with a blanket and tells us to 'shhhhh' because they are sleeping
This year I have a dolls house for Olivia's birthday. It is the Little People house, I've had it on top of the wardrobe for awhile and I am dying to give it to her, but I must restrain myself and wait until her birthday! The other day I went through the 'present box' (where I put things when I buy them during the year) and really I don't need to get Olivia any more stuff for Christmas, there is plenty up there for her as I can't help picking up things when I see them
OK, off to do some shopping and boring housework this morning. I guess after having a lovely weekend (weather wise and activity wise) I can't complain too much about getting back to some bring stuff today.....
alicia: We bought Olivia a cheap pram a few weeks back to see how she would like it and if the boys would leave it alone (they broke the one we got her for Xmas )
so we decided we will get a better quality one as she really likes it
Well I guess I better get up. Miss Princess is FOUL. I guess waking mummy up at 4:20am is not a good idea.. Grrr.. I hate it when she is like this because I get nothing done cus she is constantly follwing me screaming. and Simon is trying to sleep after night shift and he works again tonight so he has to get a really good sleep
I also thought about a dolls house for Livi but we just don't have the room so that will have to wait till we renovate the house..
I am sooooo over the separation anxiety of Fia, I can bearlygo a metre from her without her crying and with DH working away the last 9 week (only home weekends) she wont even go to him, doing my head in.
As for her birthday we are in Canberra this week, DH told his boss that if he couldnt take his family he wasn't going and his boss agreed. So Tinsel, if you are available th8is week sometime we should catch up.
Catch up sounds good although we have colds at the moment
If we are better soon, does Friday suit you?
Nic, I was thinking of getting a pram for Monique although we are running out of room in our apartment but I guess you can fold it down when not in use...hmmmm
Alicia - was it you that put our baby buddies threads together? I think you did the belly buddies but not sure if you did our baby buddies as well. If so, can you please send me a copy.
Hope everyone is doing well. Monique has finally got the fang teeth on the bottom now. Still no top fangs. I'll never forget my friends bub got her top fangs quite early and she looked like a little vampire. Soooo cute.
Tinsel - if you scroll down to the very bottom of the page, a hyperlink in the bottom right hand corner says archives. there is every past forum with our belly and baby buddies chat in there.
Counting down to sat night dinner with Paul woot so excited everyone!! hehe... We made plans tonight to go to healsville wildlife sanctuary on the 29th november.. so guessing that is plans hes going to stick around!! heehhee
Hope everyones well. Im so angry atm with Ashs childcare. I told them today to change ash into shorts and sandles today cos it was going to be hot. well i pick him up and hes in the same thick pants AND they took his t-shirt off and put a long sleeve top on and he was playing outside today and it was 31degrees!! OMG SO NOT HAPPY!!! there soo ***** atm at ABC! god its so tough trying to do the right thing, im so confussed about moving him and him having to re-settle into somewhere else, but im seriously having enough of there crap!!
Any had to move there toddler somewhere, was there a bad transition???
