pmsl yeah maybe. Somekids just aren't ready unfortunately. Both Jordan trained at 2 and a half within 2 weeks, but Josh I tried at the same age and nothing, I waited another 2 or 3 mths bf trying again and he just did it.
Jemma and Jessica were both freaks lol started at 19mths and day trained at 21 and 22mths. I was shocked. They had the big kids to follow though, think eldest childrne don't have that influence
How are you lovey? OMG I hardly ever get the chance to post but now lost of things have happened in the last 6 months, mainly that I have closed my business so therefore have plenty of time (and bugger all money!).
Mitchell is a great big, ball of non-stop talking, running, jumping, talking,bouncing talking, little boy. He is still pretty jealous of Elizabeth but now she is running around chasing him everywhere he thinks she is getting fun.
He toilet trained over summer - most unexpected I must say, but as he was pants off most of the time it seemed to come naturally. I think it helped when he discovered the joys of piddling on the tree. And the shed. And the plants. And off the edge of the deck.
Anyway, glad to halve the amount of nappies to change.
He picks up on everything (including the word a$$hole thanks to me) and we fell about laughing when he got frustrated building a train (in the linen cupboard) yelling "I can't find the TECHNOLOGY!!" Isabelle has a lot of fun getting him to say such things as "I'm bringing sexy back" "that's random" and whatever it is teenagers think is funny.
So all in all, things are a bit lovely around here now his nightmares have settled and the tanties have too. I can even get him into bed by 7.30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No mean feat in this house, although it's not such a zoo here anymore - mummy put her foot down!
Anyway - I hope to be in here alot more, it's lovely to check in with you all again and see how the bubbas (oops kids!)are going.
lol lol lol, Lulu
re. the peeing... yes, Wolf peed of the balcony this week.. it was so hard not to laugh... he was standing there all proud, being a "fireman"... thank god none of the neighbours saw it...
re. the "technology" comment, that is so funny... don't you just love the funny and weird things they say
Mel, oh, *hugs* and patience... 3 months is the point where they seem to realize that the baby is here to stay and the novelty has totally worn off... don't worry, it will get better (and then worse again when bubs gets into all of her stuff... ).. we are swinging between good and bad on a minute to minute basis... sometimes they are so cute together and the next minute Wolf is sitting on Zara ... but she fends for herself quite well (and brings a fair bit on herself too)... she will nick his stuff and go running with it, shrieking with laughter, knowing full well he will get angry and pound on her...
We had the cousins over and Zara hit the one Wolf's age over the head with a (toy) frying pan... again had to try hard to be angry and not laugh at my little baby girl bashing up an almost 3 year old...
Mitch. oh yes, they grow up way too fast, don't they... gosh.. no more tooth fairy... we are still miles away with our 2004 bubbas with that... I am just introducing the "dummy fairy" because I would like to wean Wolf of his dummy (which he only uses at night but I would like to get rid of it before he is 3). His reply (which is pretty standard for him) was "not yet, Mamma" ...
as to mile stones:
we have taken off the side of the cot, so he basically has a junior bed now. it was the second attempt. the first time, I ended up putting it back on in the dark at 10:30 pm because he would not go to sleep and kept climing out of his bed... this time he climbed out ... i dunno... 10 times the first night, 4 times the second and tonight only once... I hope this is a trend that will continue...
well, just wanted to post the happy news that yes, it's been working with the side off (though he still gets up a few times before finally staying in bed)
Another milestone is that when I talked about the dummy fairy again this week, Wolf said that yes, he wanted to give her his dummy in exchange for a lego pirateship. We wrote a letter to her and tied the dummy to it and put it on the terrace. He did not ask for it that night and the next morning was soooooooooo stoked with his pirate ship. Then the next night he asked for it once and yesterday as well, but was fine when I reminded him that he gave it up and got a pirate ship (in exchange, 4 pirates had to come to bed with him).
