We have had a pretty quiet weekend. My DH worked all weekend in fact today will be his 15th 12hour day on a row. Saturday we started swimming lessons again and I was over the moon with Isaacs performance, he loved it and kicked hiss little legs like mad. Yesterday we just hung out at home, housework, washing etc...
Tennykins- re your question! I try hard not to let Isaac get away with too much. we can be pretty strict. if he is being ignorant and not listening I go to him hold his face quite firm about 1inch from mine and tell him in the crankiest deep voice I can that "not listening to mummy is very naughty behaviour!" and "he must always listen to mummy and if he ignores mummy again he will have to sit on the naughty chair and will not be able to play." For Isaac yelling doesn't really work. In our place DH and I are the boss and you do as you?re told even if you don?t want to. I don?t think it does any harm and it seems to work. my mum said to me when I had Isaac that a good thing to remember is that- 80% teacher + 20% friend = 100% mum, and I think she is right I spend a lot of the day telling Isaac what he can and cant do.
Zee- how is Lucas going? I think I?m lucky where for some reason crying doesn't bother me.
feeb & Zee- do you have one of those support things that stop them from rolling? Isaac couldn't sleep without one I think it made him feel like he was being held. Just thought it might help.
Missy- how's it going hon? if you need anything let me know.
the park on Wednesday??? who is coming. i tried to google children?s parks with fences around them in Sydney but came up with nothing. hmm maybe i can ask BB members.
Mez have a great time in NZ.
pixie- glad Beth is sleeping better for you.
bell- Caleb has one side of his head that?s flatter than the other too, i was told their is not much that can be done, we just try to force him to sleep evenly on both sides. Won?t notice once he gets hair.
Tannis good luck with your Dr today. glad its not me this time.
I think I will take Isaac to playgroup tomorrow. i find it hard to connect with other mums. i don't know why. I guess I will have to force myself to make an effort; for Isaac.
well my nappies wont hang themselves out better run.
I can hear sebi coughing hope he isn't getting sick...
well 2am he finally settled til 0600 when i put him in our bed and fed him. On walk to exercise he stopped screaming again (started as we walked out the door) was ok till half way throught when he started againm!!!!!!!!!!!
feeding now hope he will sleep for a bit!!!!!!!!!
I knew our 10 - 12 hr sleeps were to good to be true
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISSYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope your having a fantastic day and the kiddies and your DH treat you like the princess you are!!
Tan - Sounds like you had a good weekend. Lol. I usually make things worse when I'm tryna clean up too, aswell as getting distracted and moving on to something else before finishing the first thing. It's not really any certain thing in particular that he's doing. We give Elijah to 5, sometimes he doesn't deserve that long. Lol. Good luck at the doctors. I'm dreading my papsmear, but I don't have to go back until the start of dec so I've got a little longer to wait and worry.
Mel - I only just remembered we had a swing for DS1 the other day. It was homemade job we got from someone. He loved it, but it got chucked out cause it got ripped or something. I think Bubbablue would love a swing, I just don't know which to get and which is good or anything like that, and not a money waster. That butter vegemite smearing that your DS did is something my chicken would do too. Ugh boys!!!!
Not sure about the cramps you got with ovulating. I actually had some ovulation pains this time, that I don't usually get, but I also had AF cramps too worse then usually aswell.
Feeb - I hope Jacob sleeps today and gives you a much deserved sleep. Also got my fingers crossed that he gets back into the sleeping routine he had going before.
Kristy - YAY Issac with his swimming lessons. I think your mum is right too. Your mum sounds cool!! I too think I need to go to playground this time around with Bubbablue. I'm really shy and all that jazz, so that's why I never did it with Elijah. I think I might wait till next year though, cause it'll just be Bubbablue and me since Elijah will be at big school.
Tasia - Hey Chica. Hope you had a great time with your fam over the weekend.
Thank you ladies so much for replying to my question. It's much the same as what I do here. I think I needed reassurance that I'm not doing the wrong/bad thing, and teaching my son what is right and wrong in both actions and the way he treats people, isn't a bad thing.
I'm just downloading some songs and listening to some music with the boys.
It's coolish here today.
I hope Jacob sleeps today and gives you a much deserved sleep. Also got my fingers crossed that he gets back into the sleeping routine he had going before.
