Thought I’d pop in and say on my Junies birthday while he’s in quiet time (does this for around 45 mins since stopped sleeping in the day last Sept). I don’t think ive posted since Christmas – oops but have been lurking and seeing how you are all travelling.
Mostly good here, Will toilet trained in a few days over Christmas and night trained a few months ago so that’s all good – thanks to him wanting to be like Oscar so it wasn’t any skill on my part!
His troublesome-two attitude didn’t disappear at midnight when he turned 3 like I was hoping! He’s been a bit of a poo so far on his birthday s it’s quite hard to keep giving him his pressies when he’s really got the attitude going. I think he may not have slept too well last night as he came in for snuggles with us at 6.30am which usually means he’s been awake a fair bit before then, he suffers from nightmares sometimes, really awful ones like my dh used to (and sometimes still does) where horrible things happen in the room so a 3 year old wouldn’t know he was dreaming because it was in his room – so sad for him when it happens!
He will start going to 3 year old kindy on Friday – just 12 till 2.15 which is nightmare timing but they don’t have any spots in the morning slot. As he has never been away from me apart from 1 hour cr?che per week at the leisure centre and that was with Oscar, so he needs some experience alone before he starts proper kindy in Feb. He know’s one of the ladies there from a playgroup we go to so hopefully he’ll be OK.
I keep forgetting that he really is so young at just 3 as he has been speaking so well for so long and basically does everything Oscar does, sometimes I think we expect a bit too much so we will have to watch ourselves. He is such a sweety sometimes but with such anger issues! On the whole he is great and is quite an ‘easy’ bub.
Oscar is fine and enjoying school but doesn’t seem to play with other kids yet – hopefully he will soon. I’ve just finished doing the PPP to try and get some help with his behaviour – we’ll see how it goes!
Isla is super sweet and is crawling and cruising everywhere – trying to be wherever the boys are who are total ‘gods’ to her. Still waking lots through the nights for feeds, usually at least 3 which is such a killer, especially when at least once a week I get on of the boys in as well due to wanting loo/bad dreams/can’t sleep etc – she did have a great night the one before last when she slept through till 7.30 in the morning – I felt like a different person all day! Not complaining though, she is wonderful. I’ve also done the whole cloth nappy thing with her which is great – so wish I’d done it with my boys!
I’ve had plenty of visitors in the last few months – in’laws in April which was hell, won’t dwell on that, then my parents for all of May which was great – they were so helpful and James and I actually went out for a few meals and had some time just the two of us so that was lovely.
Mel – Wow at all that baking in one day – my tummy is rumbling now! Good luck with the TT, I know it’s so frustrating when they know what to do but just don’t want to do it for some reason, Osc was well over 3 before he clicked, I’m sure Marley won’t be long. Am very envious of your 5 days solo in Brissy, you will have a ball, and to be godmother too will be fab. How’s the pool situ going? It will be so good to have one in summer.
Tali – happy belated birthday to Kai, hope she had a lovely day. Good luck to your move up north and with the TTC – with any luck it will coincide! I found out I was expecting Isla 5 days after we’d moved in here which was a bit of a worry with all the heavy lifting and cleaning with dodgy chemicals I’d one in our rental the weekend before!
Rory – glad you are enjoying your new job so much and I’m very envious of your social life – sounds like you get to go out a bit! We manage to when my parent are over but don’t really have any one else around that can babysit yet. When Isla’s a bit older I will be ringing some agencies to find someone nice so we can have a bit of a life back. Hope your hubbies feeling happier soon, I can understand it being frustrating at always having to be the upbeat one.
Nic – hope you are feeling better – sounded so rough being in hossy with food poisoning.
Maya – congrats on your second adventure – how exciting! Glad your gig went so well.
Amanda – hope you are feeling better now and that your move went well. Happy birthday to Cody for last Tuesday, hope he had a great day.
Ali – shame about the house, hope something crops up soon
Bath – lol at getting a whipper snipper for mother’s day – bet you have a very tidy looking garden now!
Anyway, can now post this post that has taken me 8 hours to write! And that’s with DH home helping me out – it’s why I don’t get to post much at the mo!
