Oh such a relief to hear about the swimming lessons Celsie!! Not that it's a great thing for your little ones to be sick all the time but that it wasn't just mine! I can't believe your little Zahley is already 14 weeks!! Where has that time gone?!?!?!?! Crazy!
Oh funny thing too! I forgot to mention - talking about kiddies saying funny things......DD#1 went to climb into the car the other day and tripped and landed on her knees on the floor of the car. Out loud but to herself she said, "Been walking long??"
And yes with the parroting! Chloe copies everything her big sister says........and what her big sister tries to teach her, yeesh Chloe was sitting in her high chair the other day and in her way, very animated, said, "Laugh!"so she laughed. "Cry!" so she pretends to cry and then she laughed and said, "Dead!" then poked her tongue out in that dead sort of look (lol) rolled her eyes then laid her head on her tray!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Teepee I think it'd be an absolute crack up to get our little girls together! ..........actually, after what I just shared, you may just think twice lol!
I keep meaning to post, but never seem to find the time, so I am sure you are all in the same position and haven't disappeared.
Diana is doing well. She is starting to talk in complete sentences, e.g. a few weeks ago she'd say "Donnie walk" if she wanted to walk. Now she says "I want to walk." She is not going to child care or pre-school but spends the day with her dad and I come home and feed her and play with her at lunchtime. She chatters all day long and tells everyone she meets about her day.
We haven't been swimming for months (or so it seems), as its been too cold, but plan to start again in the spring. I am also planning to enrol her in music lessons later on this year.
With you Starfish! It feels like my days are fast being filled up with family, work, friends, life...... that to find a moment to type is rare. BUT I STILL LUVS YA'LL!! XX
Chloe is an absolute CRACK UP!! I know I've said it before but gosh is she a cheeky one! You ask her not to do something or to stop doing something......"I not" is the reply then out of the blue, crystal clear you'll hear, "I love you mum". What makes it even more gorgeous is how deliberate each word is...."I - love - you - mum". It's a giggle to watch her attempt new words how all these multiple syllables come out and yet somewhere in there you can actually distinguish the word that she was attempting. I was teaching her to say, "Goodnight spunky bottom" I think it sounded more like, "Good - night - b-spbunky-bot-tom" *snort*
She has been a rabbit of late and taken to kicking when getting her bot changed. So we have responded by taking her toys away. She is certainly cluey enough to understand what it's all about and that she has to earn her toys back. Still, she likes to test us but like the rest of you, I look at her and can't help but think oh my giddy aunt!! What a CUUUUUUTEY!!! Hehehehehehe I have chalk and cheese daughters but gosh they're divine.
Funny story - DD#1 had a tummy ache the other night so I laid in her bed with her for a while. I thought it was because she is a sausage when it comes to drinking her water (as in she won't) so I was trying to encourage her that that is why mummy and daddy want her to drink. Anyways, I tuck her in, say goodnight, jump back into bed and not 5 minutes later.....pitter patter quite fast to daddy's side. Then, "Daddy I don't....." and BLERRRRRRRK!! She vomits ALL OVER our bed AND her poor daddy (what a wake up!) So I jump up, grab towels to put underneath her whilst my poor husband is trapped in bed by vomit. DD#1 finally stops so I take her to bath and wash her hair. On the way she says to me, "Mummy, it was good that I came into you and Daddy wasn't it?" I say yes it was and then she says, "Coz then I didn't spit (aka vomit) in my bed"
ah the logic of those so young, lol!
Actually i am a little concerned for DD#1 as I've taken her to the dr with a clicky hip. we had an xray but her bone structure seems fine. However, her other hip is now clicking. it's so loud that when she walks into us in the middle of the night crystal clear you hear the clunk clunk. It's horrible. She occasionally complains of sore legs but the other day every time she sat her foot on the side of the clunky hip would hurt her so she'd stand and it'd be fine will probably be taking her back to the drs soon who was thinking that the next step would probably be an orthopedic surgeon! I HOPE NOT!! Hopefully we can begin with physio but we'll see.
Oh and my horrible face (I posted a thread a while back in the Gen Health about it) - it looks like I am 18 again with horrid acne. I now have to go to the drs as it may be a form of eczema, not acne. So I've been making it worse with the face cleansers ahhh I so hope it can get fixed soon, it's embarrassing.
Anywhos, nuff woffle and whine!! Thinking of you all, hope you are all well and staying healthy.
How funny - saw the dr today re: face and one of the options she has suggested is the pill! But! Dh doesn't want me to as he doesn't like the idea of putting hormone stuff through my body unnecessarily. Yet he doesn't want any more cherubs so I would've thought he'd be like "WOOT WOOT!" *sigh* See I see the pill as a two fold bonus - may clear my face but will be a wonderful contraceptive (was faithful to us for 4 years once before) and so, well you know, you don't have any interruptus in the 'moment'. What do you think? Is the pill too drastic for me?
I figured it'd only be for another 3 or 4 years anyways and by then we'd either have had or will be having our final baby and DH would then have the snippy snip or we'd have decided we were happy with our 2 girls and he'd still have the snippy snip
its up to you really, the pill has many pro's and con's, and each are different to each of us.....prehaps sit down with DH and talk about it more....tell him that if your not on the pill it feels like its killing the "moment"
My face is starting to go funny now too, but im looking at the mirina only cos i suck at remembering the pill, and we def dont want another for a while if at all, but DP thinks that he can dtd without ANYTHING and we'll be fine!! I wish he would "kill" the moment at those stages lol
I hope you can figure out what is best for you, if i were you i would take it, its not drastic, it will help clear your face and prevent any "accidents" until you are ready...but thats imo!!
Hope you are all well, I keep forgetting to come and see if anyone has posted
Sounds like all the toddlers are doing great, Charly your girls sound like cheeky little monkeys! Regarding the pill, I used Diane for my skin and it did work a treat but it's so unnatural pumping those hormones in if you don't have to. My skin is better since having Lewis although it has been bad since I was about 15 so I am an expert! How about trying a naturopath?
Celsie - I didn't know Lewis' daycare was preschool as such, it does only take 2-5 yr olds but until Tina mentioned it as a preschool I didn't know! He is in the 2-3 yr old room and they do have a school readiness program in the 3-5 yr old room but in his room it is pretty much play and songs, music etc.
Unfortunately he hasn't settled in there just yet, it's been heartbreaking I must say. I know everyone has to go through it and he will get better but the tears at drop off just kill us. When I go to collect him he launches himself at me and is sooo happy bless him. But it's his 3rd week now and he is slightly better. He only goes 2 days a week so maybe it will just take a bit more time.
Also a few weeks before starting daycare he began with seperation anxiety at bed time so this has only made things worse I think. It's really bad, when he goes into his cot if I leave the room he screams and cries hysterically. It's genuine fright so I have to stay in his room until he falls asleep which can be a bit of a nightmare. Even during the day around the house I can't leave him alone without him panicking and coming to find me, it's pretty bad. Has anyone else been through this, it's apparently common at this age.
Apart from that he is doing well, he only speaks in two word sentences really but can say most things now, when I go in first thing in the morning he says Hello Baby! He likes to sing 'Twingle, Twingle Star Star' which is cute. He is really good with numbers and letters and is just obsessed with books. We recently moved into a house form a unit so we are loving spending time in the garden.
Oh and another bit of news, I am nearly 8 weeks pregnant. Obviously I am very nervous about it after my miscarriage but I had a scan last week and saw a heartbeat so fingers crossed this one is a sticky one . NOONE knows as yet until my 12 week scan. Although my stomach is so big already I don't know how I will hide it!
Anyway must get off, I'm planning an early night, Lewis has been waking up between 5am-6am lately, it kills me! What time do your little ones wake up?
Chloe was sitting in her high chair the other day and in her way, very animated, said, "Laugh!"so she laughed. "Cry!" so she pretends to cry and then she laughed and said, "Dead!" then poked her tongue out in that dead sort of look (lol) rolled her eyes then laid her head on her tray!!!!!!!!!!!!!
lol!
