thanks so much hun... i guess i've just so much going on, going back to work, sending him to day care.
we did a trial run yest. i didnt time it well cos he was tired and needed a nap when we got there.
he was fine when i went away to another room. i then made a mistake of peeking in to see what he was doing, he saw me and started to cry.. i think he was just tired and sleepy. i cuddled him and comforted him and he seemed ok. he cried a bit more when i left, then was ok. it was so hard hearing someone else calm and comfort him.
at the end he was quite happy playing there, but it still broke my heart seeing someone else care for him.
it's going to be so hard...
It will be hard, but it will get easier. Promise.
Don't forget how good its going to be for him too.Even though you want to be his be-all & end-all its good for him to be socialising & being around others.
Think of the chicks mum!!!
I understand exactly how you feel even though I'm not there yet. Just the thought that I'll have to get some work soon & start leaving him scares the crap outta me. I've decided to find a family day carer for them both, but still have Bri in pre school the 2 days a week as well.
I cried leaving Jesse with mum last night! But its gotta start somewhere.
Hi hope you are having a nice Sunday, Ive just cracked a bottle of wine.... Having one of those days.... Having issues with new man and kids especially the eldest, she hates him to the point of muttering nastiness under her breath around him and giving him filthy looks and just being horrible looks like it could all be over.... i know they are kids etc etc but its not good at all and i know that some of you may think its too soon but what do you do when your husband leaves you for someone else and someone great falls at your feet.
Anyway blah blah blah sorry in a bad mood......
Summer is a grumpy bum too has a temp and all teething signs can't see any teeth and they are a lil early but who knows with her. She is a maniac at the gym creche climbs all the play tables and was standing on the electric rocker while it was going and just thought it was great... She knocked a poor little boy over then climbed over him to get to something the other day too she has no fear.
Prama poopy will love his time at daycare he will learn so much and have heaps of fun, summer loves the creche she has so much fun there, she goes anywhere from 1.5 to 3 hours a day each day (except weekends)
trina - so sorry... i hope he stays... it's hard for the kids to see soemone other than their daddy but they will realise that daddy wasnt always nice to mummy and here's someone who makes her happy. it's hard for them right now i guess, i hope they can and will. it's a hard situation...
thanks for your reassuring words...
xoxox
I got Jesse some cute Seseme street & Pooh bear cups with straws & he's started having full cream milk out of them. He loves it.
I think I'll just go with those instead of bottles. Should be easier to get them off him.
I haven't forgotten about you, just been so busy lately..... and DJ is very active now, just don't get much time to rest and if I do, I go onto the computer for a bit and by the time I go to type a message here I am needed again haha
A few questions about development stuff
1) are your babies drinking from a cup now, and drinking water? DJ isn't a big water baby and will only drink it from a bottle, I put the water in a cup and just let him play with it to get used to it though.
2) What solids are you giving your baby during the day? I want to know if I am giving him enough. I give him his rice cereal in the morning with some fruit plus bottle beforehand, then snack is a yoghurt plus bottle around 11'ish... Lunch is normally veges or something, whatever I can come up with.... and afternoon snack is normally crackers and bottle. Then dinner, he is still a bit fussy with lumpy foods, all depends.... I am trying to get him more used to it and giving him more finger foods. Just want to get an idea of what everyone else does.
3) Are you still sterilising bottles? I am still doing this and wanting to know if I should start to stop it.... I know they say 12 months but he is crawling around and putting so many other things in his mouth hhaa
4) what time is your baby going to sleep at night and how long do they sleep - right through? DJ is now sleeping through but still goes to bed around 8:30-9pm.... trying to get him to bed earlier but he is so wired and awake haha sleeping through til 5 or 7 most mornings.... but if he wakes at 5am he will have a bottle and go back to sleep for a few more hours.
I can't think of anything else.....
I will do some personals later when DJ goes down for another sleep
