Hi everyone!!

It has been months since I have been on here. With 3 kids now, some days are impossible!!

Have read through a few posts but I am so far behind I can't catch up!

Flynn is great. For us, they have definitley (sp?) got better the more we've had. He is a gorgeous child. Sleeps through, is always happy and smiling and hardly cries.

We've had to put him on soy formula as our Doc seems to think he's had an allergic reaction to normal formula. He's had sinus, runny nose, coughs etc for weeks. He went off his bottles but not his food. So far, the soy thing seems to be helping.

The rest of the family is well. Will & Rory are growing up so fast. It's like I blink my eyes and they've grown an inch!

Hope everyone and family's are well..

Will make an effort to get back on here more often...

Take care
Jean

Everyone must be so busy!!

Does anyone have any tips on dealing with a very temperamental 3 year old?? She is driving us crazy atm. I'm just about ripping my hair out....now that would be a sight to see

Well, will check in tomorrow and see if anyone has posted...

Take care girls

Hey Jean
I tried replying straight away to this message of yours but something was going wrong with the connection sorry.

We have a 4 year old so have been through the 3 year old stage. I never knew why people said 'terrible twos' as we found the minute she turned 3 it was nightmare behavior!! It depends on what you have in place already - do you have the whole 'naughty corner/seat/spot' or whatever you might call it? We call it time out and she sits in a particular spot. If you don't do that it would be worth giving it a go. On top of that it's time for negotiating :-) And that's all it ever is from here on in lol.

Let me know what you are having issues with and I will offer any experience I have

Long time no post.

I actually forgot all about this thread. I haven't had access to the net for a couple of weeks cos my ex took the cords for the laptop. Before that I was coming on to BB but just forgot about this thread.

Life has been busy. I'm back at work full time & Brock is loving daycare. Have asked to go part time but I doubt my work will allow it. Hoping to get 3 days a week as it would suit my new life as a single mum a little better than full time work. Brock goes to sleep around 8pm to 9pm so it's hard to get the housework done after that cos I just feel like resting. When I get home at 5.30pm he sleeps for an hour or so so I can get dinner sorted, but keeping up with the housework is certainly a challenge.

He's keeping me super busy running around after him - he is so quick. Opening drawers & taking stuff off tables etc. He's walking along the furniture and has managed to climb onto his FP toddler rocker & stood on top of it. He's just into everything. So active.

He as 6 teeth now. Loads of blonde hair. Not talking yet. Smiles & giggles all the time. HIs latest new thing is clapping. He started doing it last week - just one week before he turned 8 months (tomorrow). Generally sleeps well but for the last couple of weeks has started to wake around 3am. Not sure if it's teething causing it as number 5 & 6 teeth are still emerging or if it's cos he has had a cold on and off for absolutely weeks on end. Two lots of antibiotics to try and get rid of the cough which did go but I heard it again when he woke this morning.

My mum had another op for cancer. All went well.

I'm still in my house. My ex is trying to convince me we can work things out but I am not convinced.

I will add those ladies who put their email addresses up onto my facebook so if someone with the name of Donna is asking to be your friend it's me.
