Isn't it funny how parents always say we did everything so early compared to kids these days? Mind you it was 32 years ago for my mum so maybe her memory is a bit rusty lol. I would expect 2.5-3 for toilet training to be established, but who knows how it will go.
My BFF daughter was a nightmare to toilet train. She only started going number 2's at 4.5 years in the toilet. She would hold on for days and then my BFF would put a nappy on her and wait for the explosion. If she didn't put the nappy on she would find them any where. Behind the cubby, in the vegie patch, under her bed. It was pretty gross. My sisters however had no real drama's, so hoping to be like them.
How tall are the bubbas? Jack is 81.5cm and weighs 10.9 kilo. We weighed and measured him yesterday being 18 months old.
Jack is sleeping well so I hope he doesn't have the 18 month sleep regression. The 4.5 month one was a shocker for us. He sleeps through then night most nights and wakes between 7.30am and 8.00am. It used to 6.00am to 7.00am but since we have had xmas and been on break from daycare he has been sleeping in. Maybe because the house is quiet as we have been sleeping in too.
Jack has his 18 month immunisation on Friday. Not looking forward to it. They said they will do his 18 month old check up. I think I will take him back to CAHFS for it and not worry about the doctor filling in his blue book. I think the CAHFS nurses here know more than the drs do. Last time they gave me work sheets to complete on his progress.
Andie, sorry you're having some problems with early morning wake-ups. I hope they are short lived and he's back to his usual sleeping.
Funny the way our parents remember our childhood. My Mum said my sister and I were good as gold. I say she's looking back through rose-coloured glasses as surely we got into some sort of mischief!! As for toilet training, from memory, both my boys were 3+ before they were toilet trained. And DS2 had a night nappy for quite a while after that too. I can't say that giving them the extra year caused them (or me) any lasting issues.
I came down unwell last week and ended up in hospital over the weekend having my gallbladder removed. Still in quite a bit of pain when moving from sitting to standing etc. Haven't been able to pick up DD2, can only give her cuddles if DH gets her from the bassinet for me, and poor DD1 just wants to run and lunge herself at me, have to keep my guard up to block my tummy!
peeks - how are you recovering? that does not sound ideal, having surgery with a newborn to look after. and a toddler. and you have 2 boys too I think?! you poor thing.
vic - how did jack go with his 18mth immunisations? I have ds's coming up in a week or so. I roughly measured & weighed ds the other day, he is around 78-80cm (he wouldn't stay perfectly still!) and just over 9kg. he is still lean. eats well, just so active he burns it off straight away. did you end up taking jack to the checkup about his speech? just curious bc ds isn't saying much still. although he says mumma now, which is something at least! he can say peppa (pig), dad, grandma (not clearly, but I know what he's saying). he nods & shakes his head a lot rather than saying the words. I try to get him to say words, but I don't want to push him. it seems like he gets a bit shy about it.
tasha - how's your little one?
ds is still waking once a night, well morning really. this morning was 3am. he just sat in his cot (still in our room), occasionally calling to me, then eventually gave up at 4am and went to sleep. its better than a screaming baby I know, but it still means I wake up & cant sleep until I know he's asleep. I have been feeling quite tired & a getting a bit of m/s so hasn't been a great couple of weeks. today I felt good though, so hopefully the worst is over.
Andie, I couldn't even imagine being pregnant, m/s and tired with a toddler! Don't know how you all do it! They should have checklist stuff at your health nurse appointments about speech etc. If they think there is a problem they'll let you know And 9kg gosh he is a tiny little thing
Peeks, how are you doing? Obviously have your hands totally full at the moment! Hope you are well x
Vic, hope the needles went well. DD is 79cm and weighs 11.5kg at her last appointment.
We are going for our 18 month vaccinations next week, mchn app last week and all is good. She can say so many words now and she's so confident. I watched her at daycare the other day just climbing the stairs and going down the mini slide all on her own. The staff laughed because they said she does it all the time, but I hadn't seen it before. Thankfully we haven't had an 'sleep agression' of any sorts. Still sleeps well (fingers crossed lol)
Jack's immunisation went well. He cried of course but not for long. We currently have the cold like symptoms. I forgot how annoying a runny nose is. Went just went to CAFHS for his check up and immunisations. He weighs 12.4k and 83 cm so bit heavier and taller than we thought. His head is pretty big. 97th percentile but she was not concerned.
His questionaire was good. His fine, gross, problem solving skills are all excellent. His communication and social skills are good. She said his speech was in the normal section and she would not bother with the Joeys appt. So I canceled it. They did ring me last week and talked me into just coming in for a check up. He said a one off appointment just to see if we needed any help.
Jack has started transition into the toddler room at day care and loving it. There are so many babies in the nursery they have decided to start him a bit earlier with another couple of older boys. The toddler outside section has had a massive extension and all the kids are loving it.
Sadly one of the boys in the toddler room has been diagnosed with a brain tumour and has just had it removed. Its cancer Its hit me quite hard and am proud of our town for all the support they are giving to his parents. His little brother is one of Jacks little buddies so we know his mom and cant imagine how they are coping. Makes me squeeze Jack even harder.
vic - that's awful news, i cant even imagine what those poor parents are going through. xx
tasha - i had a good day today, no m/s & my little one slept from 7.30pm-6.45am - so i have good days too! couldn't believe it when i woke up this morning & realised i hadn't had to get up at 3 or 4am... fingers crossed its his new schedule!
afm - just plodding along really, no real news. ds was being super cute today, took him out on his little trike & he pretty much spent the whole time with his hands not even on the handle bars turning around to look at people walking behind us... made it a lot easier for me to push him without having to contend with his 'steering'. he was so good just sitting on his trike while i got a BT done, although he did leave a little trail of cracker crumbs on the pathology floor...
