Dr T, have a WONDERFUL holiday my dear! May your Christmas be wonderful and enjoyable and AMERICAN and all sorts of good things. I hope you relax and get busy with it and maybe bring a little yankee stowaway back with you
Delph, so sorry I didn't respond to your post! DS has "nasty twin" moments too - little temper tantrums. And yes, he hits. I basically grab his hand when he does it, get down to his level and say "No!" in a stern voice, then say "keep your hands to yourself".
That's what we did with DD - yes I had another hitter - but we phrased it as a "rule", and I need to start the "rule" terminology with DS now too. I will start saying "What's our rule? We keep our hands to ourselves." Kids respond well to the word "rule" apparently.
DS only really hits DD when he is frustrated or if she does something to him first, with me he gives me a whack out of temper if I say no to something. Booby, at the moment, is a big trigger
He's still bf, first and last thing generally, and as soon as I get home from work on my work days he's grabbing at my top saying "Booby?" and when I say no, it's not time, he cracks it and whacks me. Think I need to start putting him down in that situation.
Are you back at work Delph??? How's it all going?
This year I'm in the position that you'll be in next year - a pre-schooler and a toddler. We're hanging for Christmas Day - the two of them are going to LOVE it.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas day tomorrow! I forgot about the new thread too. Will have to do some stalking if I get a chance to see what you guys have been up to. For example, I have no idea what mobile phone Delph is talking about wrt Dr T!
AFU - I bought a big boy bed for T on ebay! So exciting. We already had a king single ensemble and a single foam matress without a bed so decided to get a single trundle. I climb into the cot with Travis so anything bigger than the cot is a bonus, lol! I got a second hand version of this bed.
Well better get back to making rocky road and baking cookies -gifts for tomorrow!
Did anyone else's LO from this baby buddy group actually get excited about presents? We still have the majority under the tree! We put them out under the tree after Travis went to bed on xmas eve thinking he'd discover them and be interested in them on xmas morning, but that didn't happen! And opening a couple of the presents ourselves didn't tempt him either. Next year maybe? So far his favourite gift is a set of 5 matchbox cars from my mum. Everyone time we go to SIL's house, he goes straight to the kids' room to find the thomas trains that chain together with magnets. I'm considering taking back a bunch of the presents he hasn't opened and exchanging them for some of those little trains!
Hey Everyone!!!\
Hope you all had a fantastic Christmas and New Years. We just got home yesterday. Talk about TIRED!!
EJ - B didn't get excited about opening presents either. I was a bit bummed. Last year he really got into tearing the paper open, but this year he really just wasn't interested. He did enjoy playing with all the other presents once someone else opened them for him. B is huge on cars and trains as well. He just loves pushing them around. He even makes motoring noises
AFU - my other super exciting news from Christmas is I'M PREGNANT!! WOOHOOO. Super excited. 6 weeks 2 days today. I'm due on the 9th of Sept. 3 days before my birthday
