    Aadi good boy for sleeping for your mum, keep it up..lol
    did not happen... was up at 12.30, 1.30, 2.15 wanting a drink and then from 3-5 pooping on the potty and then partying and throwing a tantrum for the remaining hour and 55 minutes. Up at 7.30, and has been chucking a tantrum all morning. Finally went down for a nap at 12.15. Can I sleep though?? NO. I'm sick. Aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhh!

    nana: sorry i am a bit blonde but wanted to confirm this u have aadi on a bed now not the cot?

    bec: jayda is a shocker when changing her nappy if ur not done in 2 sec she is off or screaming.

    is anyone gettin their bub any easter eggs?

    jayda is being a poo with her food. she doesnt want jar food but she wants to fee herself wat we r having but wont eat it in the high chair will only eat it off our plates.
    she is also loosing interest in her bottles. i am tryin to teat her to drink out of a sippy cup better. she has one but she doesnt drink much out of it then i got her a staw one but it goes too fast and she spits it out but the others r too slow.

    abb: would of been cute watching him do the hand action at the cricket.

    jayda has one of her eye teeth through and the other one only has a thin bit of skin covering so we r up to 3 now all on top and no sign of the bottom coming through. Oh and she bit my toe really hard on the weekend and was biting her own arm she had marks all up her arm from the teeth.

    she seems to be saying dad with meaning now before it was just dad dad dad as in sounds but now it is to get his attention. oh and boobies hahahahaha. when i get dressed of a mornign she watches me and always has i always as boobies and i take my pjs off and she laughs but now she is saying boobies as i do it hahahaha.

    hmmmmm wat else. not long now till their birthdays. i nearly have all the decorations and party games and stuff just need to get the food when it gets closer. i made a castle cake ont he weekend as a trail but MIL said she will buy her a butterfly cake so i am happy not having to worry about that. i was quiet shocked she mentioned getting it but lol.

    Hi ladies. Had my BB meet up at Chipping Norton. Ws a lovely day with the girls. DS stayed home with DP cos he is on holidays. (DS wanted to ride motorbikes instead of play at the park)

    DD has been great. No complaints here since i got DD her amber necklace. She's been fussy with food but only cos she wants to do everything. So things are messy messy messy here but i couldnt care. I saw these vute cups with a special opening so they can put their hands in but if it tips over it stops them falling out... (sarah H had one for her DD at the meet up.. excellent idea)

    Appart from that nothing much here.

    Sass- I have been making butterfly cakes as trials. Have a few designs. Very easy to cut out patterns also. YAY on Jayda's teeth too... Stil 6 here. Lots of dribbling and red cheeks but stil no sooking . Also with saying Dad Dad. DD also says it now at DP and when she wants his attention also. Stil hasnt said mum appart from the few times a while ago

    NaNa- OMG sleep still not improving. Is he hungry when he wakes up or is it just for comfort???? COuld you maybe offer water in a bottle instead???

    Hi to everyone else.

    Sass - Aadi is in a single bed in our room now. He just wont tolerate going near the cot, and has the stamina to scream for hours if I put him in it. Not worth it. I know it probably seems WAY too early for him to be in a big bed on his own, but I wanted him out of our bed, and to still be able to lie down and feed him in his bed if I have to. Can't do that in a cot!

    Sleep school finally rang today. Lets just say that I'm devastated and utterly disgusted by the complete lack of empathy they had for me, and I feel really stupid for crying on the phone asking this woman to please try and find something before JULY or I'm going to lose it. Nup. Nothing. "Have you tried asking your GP? MCHN?" she says... duh. I give up. Today's been revolting, and I'm sick of being screamed at. If this is how bad it is now, he's going to be in juvie by the time he's 3!! Seriously, nobody gives a stuff and DP can't even get takeaway for dinner and expects me to cook. ha. Going to bed without dinner.

    Oh NaNa- Hugs hun. Wish i could help out. U really need to get some help but i see your frustrations when no one can or is willing to help. Have you considered thickening up the BM with the thickner Offer water when he wakes?? I know its hard when your already sleep deprived. I really feel for you,. Tell DP to take the day off work so u can catch up on some sleep.

    nana: sorry to hear things r so rough. i didnt mean it to come out wrong i dont think it is too early for the bed. does he try to get out? do u have a rail?
    i wanna put jayda in a bed around her birthday but it think she would fall out cause she always stands up in the cot and jumps around when she wakes up.

    sass - no, didn't come out wrong. I just know that some people would FREAK if they knew I put DS in a big bed, but he's actually going into a smaller bed! Before he was sleeping in a QS bed, so this is an improvement!! LOL! We have a guard rail on one side, and a full-length body pillow on the other, against the wall. Most times when DS wakes up he sits up and rubs his eyes and sooks for a bit, and only ever climbs up on the bed head, not the rail. He's barely interested in the rail, but is forever trying to climb over the bed head (which is high!) and get out the window or something! Monkey... The bed itself is actually quite low to the floor, so it would be ok if he did actually fall, as it's way lower than the bar of the cot or even our bed.

    Jess - thanks, hun. That's sweet. I'm not feeding DS thru the night anymore, as he wont even feed to sleep anymore! I've tried offering water if I think that he's just waking for a drink but he's a PITA with it. But if he's screaming relentlessly, I'll certainly cave in and try BF as a last resort. It hasn't worked tho for a while. Even for day sleeps. If I try to resettle him he screams for ages, but if DP takes over he's out like a light in 3 seconds. BUT DP can sleep thru DS's screaming for the first half hour, so I've already worn him out, if you like. Aadi's eating heaps of solids most days now, and it's 3 big meals plus an afternoon snack and as much BF as I can. I can't seem to find the time or energy to express these days, and DS wont take a bottle, so not sure how the thickened milk would benefit? Sorry, I'm a bit dumb about that.
    DP can't take any time off work at the moment. He's already under immense pressure ATM, being in the jobs sector and things being less than brilliant in the world in that regards. And he's already taking unpaid leave so we can go overseas in June to see his family.

    After much shuffling around, I have a paed appointment next week. Will see if they can shed some light on what's going down with the sleep allergy situation!
    Oh, it's all blahblahblah from me at the moment, isn't it?? Sorry, I just don't have much of an outlet elsewhere. Please feel free to disregard my nonsense and move on to the next post!
