Wow OP that's great. Give Heaven's wee ones loads of hugs and kisses from me.
DS still isn't giving up the day sleeps yet. He just can't quite make it through the day without a sleep - but he's sleeping a little better at night (oh I bet I just cursed myself.) Some interest in toilet training. He has his days when he gets the potty seat on the toilet, sets up his little step and will sit on the toilet, telling me to go away, then annouce he's done a poo/wee when he's been there long enough, insists he puts on undies and then will go down the other end of the house and 5-10 minutes later wees in his underpants. So I'm not really sure what to do, except maybe keep talking to him about feeling the urge to go to the toilet and wait.
I'm feeling so stressed about the whole TT issue. I have no idea how to do it, should I wait, should I just stay home for three days and nag him to death to go to the toilet? I've got no idea, and it seems like there is a thousand ways to do it, and yet if he's not understanding the urges, I'm not sure how to progress. UGH! I want to be an ostrich and stick my head in the sand.
hey girls
breathe maylna- i could hear you hyperventilating whilst you were writing about TT here lol
i promise he will be toilet trained by the time he is 21 years old lol
seriously i promise he will do it and be interested when he is ready!
you can either nag him until you are blue in the face, have wee everywhere and he will finally get it
or
gently suggest, model etc and he will catch on and do it when he has full bladder control
boof decided that xmas day was a good time to go into undies full time (great timing) and no night nappies on his birthday night (another good timing moment)
he is now an absolute legend at the toilet thing now- so we have been a nappy free house for a month now WHOOP!
You cannot tell when an adult was toilet trained from looking at them!!!!
i promise it will happen- just go with it
btw nappies are so much easier than trying to find a toilet when you are out all the time lol so savour nappies
day sleep- gone or its an after 10pm sleep down when he naps
he will happily get through a day now without needing a sleep - helps when his older siblings come home and hype him up after school lol
Boof is LOVING kinder- for a kid that has never left my side - he has been awesome. He knows that he goes to kinder and I go shopping lol. he loves it and is now getting the idea of the social ettiqutte of kinder eg. sitting on the mat, doing what the teacher says etc. Has his first 3 hour session this week - whoot 3 hours to myself - i have no idea what i am gonna do this week. Next week but i am getting my hair done YIPPEE!!
other than that all good here- but busy
my mums cottage is nearly finished- she is building a little house at the front of our house- taken 3 weeks and its lock up!!! so quick and everything build by hand on site so no pre-fab. Awesome builders etc. Plasters start the next couple of days so another 3 weeks she should be in!!!
DH working heaps with the coffee van so single mum from fridays till mondays with 3 kids - tiring
thats about it- between tennis, rollerskating, netball, rubgy, swimming, gymastics, 2 playgroups and school i am pretty boring lol
Det - I guess the sleep deprivation is making everything seem worse than it actually is.
Woot on the house front.
I've just read that between 2-3, kids are supposed to sleep 11hours a night - Oh how I wish that was true. DS gets about 4-5 hours of unbroken sleep then the party is on between 1 and 5am, when he wakes anything up to twice an hour.
After three years of this, I seriously cannot take another night of this. It's destroying me. Off to the chemist (if I can stay awake that long) to see if they can give me something to get him to sleep.
