LOL Andie! Does he have long hair or something??? I always have to put pink on DD because her hair is still short and fluffy so people think shes a boy. So I understand your frustration! I know millions of women do it, but what will happen when you are further along in the pregnancy and you can't lift your ds anymore? I couldn't even imagine trying to lift out of the cot, onto the change table, the car etc. I could barely move at the end of my pregnancy :lol:
Andie its so lovely to hear your all big and pg :) I smiled when I read that your getting bigger :)
Easter here went amazingly. DS loved camping and getting in and out of the van was such fun for him. He slept well although I struggled a bit to get him to sleep as it was not his normal dark room but I ended up laying down with him on our double bed and when he fell asleep transferred him into his single bed. I have never co-slept with him and actually really loved it. He went to sleep within 5 minutes every time so it was no issue and I was wondering how he would go when we got home, but he was fine about going to sleep in his bed at home by himself. Thank goodness.
Size 5 here too. And starting to buy a few size 2 things although DS has short little legs like me and a long body so we need the longer tops and still size 1 pants. Its always been the same the whole way through. He still wears some 0 pants. Some shorts are 9-12 months lol. Definately getting our value out of our clothes here :)
tasha - well, I haven't cut his hair yet... so it's a bit longer than most boys I guess but it's a bit curly at the back so not long, long. although dh's family keep telling me he has a mullet & I should shave it like his younger cousins parent have. :-/
lifting him in to his cot atm is getting a bit heavy, but only bc we have a cuddle then I scoop him up from the floor holding him like a baby to put him in his cot. I'll have to transition to having a cuddle sitting in a chair & then pop him in so he can lie down himself.
thanks, vic. :-) it's still a bit of a surprise each time I catch myself in the mirror, but it makes me smile too. xx
glad the caravan worked, it is lovely getting those little cosleeping cuddles. didn't think I would be a parent that would like it so much... always planned on keeping ds in his bed at all times but I kinda got lazy & he comes in somewhere around 3-6am every morning! I hear you on the clothes, shorts are just ridiculous (how big they are). ds was in 3-6 mths shorts this summer. I think he's progressed to 6-12mths now, bit they're quite roomy.,;-)
happy mother's day, ladies. :-)
Happy belated Mother Day :)
It actually feels like mums day today for me since yesterday we flew to Adelaide and DS was not exactly fun to travel with. Finally fell asleep on the plane thank goodness.
Having a routine is awesome except when you have to do different schedules. Sleep is so important to DS and its hard when he doesn't get his normal amount. Having said that he has had a big sleep last night and seems happy today. We fly to Bali this afternoon and am not looking forward to the whole airport waiting I customs and the 5 hour flight. Hopefully we can burn up some energy this morning.
Hope all the babies are well x
my little boy loves his routines too, doesn't cope when it's changed.
have a great time in Bali, hope ds surprises you with sleeping on the plane. ;-)
Happy mothers day too :)
Have a nice trip Vic. Dd is terrible without a decent nap, it's screaming and tantrums all afternoon.
I had my gallbladder taken out last week. All went well, but I have this sudden sharp pain now so I'm getting it checked out. Just when I started to feel good and pain free :( I haven't been able to pick dd up at all and playtime has been minimal. So this is really upsetting me :(
hope you're feeling ok today, marley&me (cute name change!). fingers crossed for a speedy recovery. xx
Thanks Andie, I love that movie :)
how is everyone, quiet in here... :-)
DS is going through another rough patch of sleeping. He's been waking at 2-3am. Last night was 1am. I need to be resettling him back in his bed, but dh & I are so tired we just bring him in to our bed. He's got a snuffly nose, but nothing serious so I don't think it's illness.
He's getting finicky at meal times too. Pushes his bowl away (regardless of what it is) and says 'no'. I just start eating my own while he wriggles & mucks around in his high hair. Then I spoon feed him afterwards, which he then eats about half of whatever it is. Maybe just an independence thing?
Speech is still progressing quite slowly & I've noticed a lot of the sounds sound similar, a lot of 'ba', 'pa', 'oo', 'da' sounds. And still just one word sentences. He talks to himself sometimes when he's playing/going to bed, but it's "mum? no. dadda? no. maa? (grandma). no". I don't know, guess I'm waiting for it to just all of a sudden come along. Trying not to worry too much, but it's something I'm thinking about atm.
Hi Girls
We are back from Bali and it was an amazing Trip. I feel like DS has grown so much in those 2 weeks. His speech is really coming along and he can repeat most words back to me now. He chats away all the time and I have to remember to listen to him. He says "Hi Mum" all the time :) That and "Yee Har" with his arm in the air doing circles pretending to lasso something. Its so cute. He can say so much now. We are working on colours at the moment.
Bali was amazing and just what our family needed. Jack went into care 4 times over there and they were amazing. They even did stage shows for the parents and I bawled like a baby seeing him up there in costume. I was spotted almost at the end and he cracked it and wanted me so I had to go get him off the stage but I didn't mind. We worked on his swimming and water issues and by the end of the trip was comfortable in the water and ended up enjoying it. Too bad its too cold to go swimming.
He was the king of the resort and all the ladies loved him and smothered him in kisses and cuddles every time we went to the restaurant which was three times a day. He would walk up the stairs and usually 5 women fought over him to be chosen to carry him to our table. He would hug them all. So very cute.
The plane ride over was good. We were able to stretch out as the plane was half full and he got his own seat. On the way home he was a bit fussy but I put that down to my DH being fussy and DS reacting to his moodiness at returning back home. Funny how kids can pick up on grumpy energy.
DS has been back at child care for over a week. While he was away 2 of him best friends turned 2 and have been moved up to the next room. The team leader of his room came up to me yesterday and said Jack was having a sad day. She said he has been very quiet and not really getting involved as much. She said she thinks its because the other 2 boys have gone up and she will try and sent him to the next room for a few visits. My baby has friends...YAY!!! I was sad to think he was sad and I know he is not loving being in childcare since we came back but this is our life and I have to work.
Sleep has been going well. Still having a 2.5 hour sleep from 12.30pm and goes to bed at 7.15pm and wakes around 6.30am - 7.00am. I dont normally have to get up to him unless its just to cover him up and straighten him up in the bed. Still using a dummy :( Not that it really bothers me, only when he insists on it when not in bed.
Toilet training has been on my mind although I wont be starting for a while. Its not something I look forward to doing. I get holidays in October so may try then or just wait till xmas break. I dont want to start too early, however he hates having his nappy changed. Its quite the ordeal to get him to lay down on the change table.
Andie - 30 weeks ??? Yay for you. I am quietly stalking you :)
vic, that holiday sounds great. jack sounds like he had an awesome time, hope you got lots of photos! my ds sucks his fingers, I guess at least when your jack is ready, or when you decide you can take the dummy away? not sure how I will go getting ds to stop sucking his fingers... guess he will grow out of it eventually.
31 weeks this Friday. Feeling huge & tired. Ds is not helping, waking at 1.30. Tried to resettle him for an hour in his bed, but he just wanted to be with us so he ended up in our bed. Normally I would just go with it, but I'm stressing that it will become a habit now. I'm so tired & need to sleep, and I can't have ds & the new baby in with me... can I?!
Hi ladies :) Hope you are well!
All is good here, growing up so fast. Can't believe it has almost been 2 years!!
I know, it's crazy... we will have 2 year olds very soon. Bought ds a scooter today, he was pretty excited & he seems to have picked it up quite quickly. Must buy a helmet asap! :-)
Its Jacks last day in the Nursery today. Next Monday he goes into the Toddler room ....where has that time gone??? How do we suddenly have toddlers? I still call him a baby lol.
Everything is going well here. Just cruising along. In our routine of work/day care and home Friday, Saturday & Sundays. His speech has really taken off and its so much nicer to be able to understand him. We have had a few attitude moments but a minute sitting on his bed seems to work (for now anyway).
We are having an afternoon tea on Saturday for his birthday. Nothing too fancy. Work has been super busy and to be honest I really cant be bothered but am making the effort. I know it will be fun on the day.
Happy Birthday to all the Bubbas x
How's Jack going in toddler room, settled in ok? We are getting attitude too. Is jacks mostly frustration? Ds's does the swiping his toys across the floor yelling and flipping himself around atm. Gets worse if we ask him if he needs help, or god forbid jump in and help!
We put ds in s toddler bed before baby was born. He loves it. His little face when he saw his new bed was priceless.[emoji3]
Ds loves the baby so far, always wanting to kiss & 'carry' him. It's just adorable. [emoji173]️
Jacks behaviour has gotten a lot better since his sleeping has improved. A couple of days before his birthday he started waking at 5am and this carried on for a few weeks and it almost killed me. Now we have him sleeping till 6.30am and only waking because we are up and about. Thank god for the Gro Clock! Best invention ever! Potty training has started and so far so good. Was really dreading it but since I have started just going to get on with it.
Andie - your boys sound so adorable. I assume your new bubba has a name now? Boys names are hard. So lovely to hear DS loves his toddler bed.
I am loving this age.
Am I the only one without a toddler bed yet? :lol: I am milking the cot for as long as possible hahaha. If I put her in a bed I will have to put a baby gate up at her bedroom door otherwise she may sneak out and get into things. What do you guys do bout that?
Also she doesn't sleep when I put her down, it's usually around 9-9:30pm by the time she falls asleep. And she's in her cot singing and chatting or just laying there until then. If I had a bed I assume she would just get straight out and play with her toys. Do your kids do this???
Jack goes pretty much straight to sleep. I really thought he would roam around but he just rolls around the bed if it takes him a while to fall asleep. He used to kick the wall :( I had stopped using sleeping bags but decided he was getting cold so have been using one the last few weeks. It converts to a sleep suit so has legs if you want. I keep it as a bag and he stays in bed in the morning. He used to get out of bed and knock on his door. We have roller shutters so its pitch black in there but now the gro clock has a bit of a light which is handy as he finds his dummy if he needs.
I have read a recommendation on keeping bubs in a cot till 3 years of age so plenty of time Tasha.
So far so good with potty training. He even did a number 2 in his potty.
Vic - no name yet, but very close! [emoji6]
I saw those gro clocks and wondered if they'd work for ds. He still wakes at 5/5.30am, comes in to our bed & then it's 50/50 whether he goes to sleep again. We stopped using bags too but we dress him in leggings, jumpy without legs & flannelette pjs over the top. He also has a bar heater in his room set to low. And his doona, obviously. Ds used to knock too, hilarious! But now he can open the door... [emoji52]. Made his way out to lounge room before dh could get to his room last night. Today at lunch nap time I heard him talking to himself (usually yells out for me when he wakes). He had climbed out, got a book, climbed back in & was 'reading'! [emoji1]
Nice work on the potty training... it sounds s bit too easy...??
Tasha - we only went to toddler bed bc I knew I'd have to have c sect & I couldn't lift ds in/out for naps. I was lucky in that he loved it. We have a monitor so can hear if he's up & about. Except for last night... but I'll just turn monitor up. I am contemplating baby gate for hallway so he can't roam around. We still stay with ds until he's asleep, so prevents him from jumping out. I would love to be able to pop him in to bed & have him go to sleep by himself... maybe in another year or so?!
Vic, well done on the potty training :) I have given up because I just have so much going on right now. But hopefully by the time she is 3 we will have it.
Andie, 5am would bloody kill me. I am not a morning person lol. A gate at the hallway sounds like a great idea, we can also do that in this house actually. Can't believe you are almost due!!
We still use a bag at night, it keeps her warm. But think she's a hot sleeper anyway because I only put her in a long sleeve body suit and flannel pj's with the bag and she's fine (and we are in freezing Melbourne!). Some nights she is fighting the bag though so after winter is finished we will stop using it.
I'm not a morning person either, some mornings are pretty rough!
I should have updated in here, but I've had the baby! A little early bc I developed cholestasis (liver problem), so he was born at 37+2, 2.8 kgs. Home & doing well. [emoji6]
Oh big congratulations Andie!! :) I haven't been on the forum for a while so didn't have a clue :lol: Glad you and bubs are ding well :happydance:
Toilet training is going really well. I am pretty surprised actually. Only one accident over the weekend and it was not really his fault. We were out at a local petting zoo thing and i washed his hands after he was feeding the animals and the cold water must have triggered a wee :( Poor DS was horrified and started crying. I had spare clothes in the car so cleaned him up and carried on. DH was a bit stressed but I said its nothing to get stressed over and just relax. At least it was outside and it had been raining so no no one noticed a bit of moisture on the dirt lol. Apart from that no other accidents. At child care he had one late Thursday afternoon and this morning when I mentioned he accident at the petting zoo the educator said DS accident Thursday was while he was washing his hands too. Mental note - cold water triggers a wee lol
He is so proud to use the potty and has to run up to whoever is not taking him to the potty and tell us. Its super cute. Number 2's have not been an issue either.
Now I find his pants falling down as no nappy to keep them up lol.
Andie- whats it like being a parent to two bubbas? I guess you have a name by now :)
Marley&Me - Hope DD is well :)
Lol at the washing hands, vic! He sounds like he was really ready to do it if he's taken to it so well. Did he show many signs or did you just decide to try it & see how he went?? I would live to tt my little guy that quickly & relatively effortlessly.
It's great being parent of 2. Defiantly more tv watching going on atm as all I do is feed and settle do ds1 gets bored/ant in his pants bc we aren't getting out as much. The baby is fine, ds1 is the tiring one atm. He's waking at 3am every night again now. Then the baby wakes at 4am. Wakes ds1 bc ds1 will be in our bed by then. Then it's just a crazy, tired mess until I can get baby down again. If we are lucky we get another hour sleep, if not dh gets up with ds1 at 6am. It's busy, but doable [emoji6]. We just decided the name a couple days ago! I think you in particular would approve [emoji6].
Oooohhh. Thats so exciting Bubba has a name :)
Sorry to hear about your getting up so early. That would be pretty hard to do every day. I always wondered how the toddler got on while the baby is being fed and settled. Perhaps things will get easier when the weather is warmer and you can get outside to burn off his energy. Have you thought about daycare for DS1? I know your not going to work (your still working at home more than you would at work) but it might be nice for DS1 to have play days at a centre. One of our mums at baby group just had a new DD and her DS goes to childcare 3 days a week. He was already in daycare and she said he was so used to it and would be bored at home. She said its lovely to have one on one time with her DD.
As for TT DS I had a potty near his bath and would sit him on it every night before his bath but nothing ever happened. It was two weeks ago when he got up and said "potty" and i took him thinking nothing would happen and he did his first wee. So i just went with it. I was not planning to try properly till at least late spring but thought this window of opportunity may not come again so we have just rolled with it. He always used to tell me when he had done a poo and then started telling me when he did a wee so I think he was ready before me lol. He had an accident yesterday at childcare. He always does a wee when he gets up from his sleeps but he didn't do one yesterday and then they didn't check so had an 15 minutes after he got up. Just a timing thing really. They had different girls on the floor yesterday so he probably doesn't feel comfortable with them. He was telling the Monday girls when he needed to go but they are the regular girls. Thank god for combustion heater and getting things dry lol. The worst is washing the shoes. They take ages to dry.
Hadn't though about shoes...! I can see why summer would be better to tt. He has done so well, out of nappies at 2 years old is amazing. I'd love ds1 to be tt, not enjoying his pooey nappies atm [emoji52].
I've thought about daycare but didn't want ds1 bringing home colds/flus to ds2. We go to gymbaroo & music class so he gets out, I just don't get s break!
It must be exhausting to have two littles ones 24/7. I take my hat off to you. Its a lot to be a perky parent all the time. I see all the activites they do at daycare and think there is no way I could do that at home. And I understand about bringing home sickness. Ds was horrid for months after he started daycare. Since he turned 2 and gone into the toddler room its been a lot better.
TT is going well. I wouldn't say he is trained but we are getting there. Still having an accident every couple of days. All concentration timing. He gets so busy. I still keep asking him. Usually he says no lol.
It is exhausting some days, I'm not going to lie! Then you have days that work out nicely. Those days are rare atm but worth 3 crap days when I get them!
Ds1 has had diarrhoea for past 2 days. That's been fun [emoji53]. Made me glad that he's not TT though... wouldn't have coped with cleaning that up 6 times a day. He seems ok today though, so thankful for that. He's still waking a couple times a night which is getting ridiculous. I hope he outgrows it soon [emoji42]
Hi girls. Just wondering if you have started toilet training and if so how are you going?
DS has been interesting. No 1's were all good and no accidents for over a week until yesterday when he had 2! :wall: He has been a bit off the last few days with a bit of a cold but still!
No's 2 were an issue but seem to have that sorted now. We are 5 or 6 weeks into this TT thing and its still having its moments. I am trying not to remind him now and not make it an issue but apparently he still needs reminding. I know he gets busy and its to be expected. We started off really well but seem to be stuck and not moving forward. He still doesn't pull his pants down but will pull them up. We can go out and about though and he will tell me when he needs to go, and will use a different toilet lol, so it doesn't stress me anymore to think abut leaving the house.
Vic, we had a #1 accident tonight. But it was only because she had done a #2 an hour before bath time so i just let her go nappy free. She sits on the potty, but doesn't seem to tell me when she needs to go anymore. She's also interested in watching me on the toilet. But we haven't started officially started TT yet. I won't bother until she is actively telling me she needs to go every time.
I figure it must get easier the older they get so maybe just put TT on hold for a while?
We haven't started yet, vic. Although ds insists on having 'turns' some nights. He's more interested in the big loo rather than his potty (of course). He actually did a wee in the loo the other night, but stopped. Then he got in bath and did the rest! So I'm thinking he's recognising the feeling at least. I'm not in any hurry I must admit, having a baby and toilet training sounds daunting atm. [emoji15]
How is everyone? Ds1 has reached the stick phase, bashing & digging at the park with the biggest stick he can find. And collecting smaller sticks to chuck down the slide. [emoji51]
No TT still, although he's enjoying making his pee shoot up in the air in the bath, quite funny to watch...! He's still a ball of energy with very strong ideas about how things should be and what he wants. [emoji15]
Hi ladies. I have had so much crap going on at the moment it hasn't been good at all :(
DD has started using the potty by herself so i guess we are now toilet training. She has been so proud of her poohs hahaha. She kept taking her nappy off any chance she got so I figured it was coming. Haven't left the house without a nappy yet though.
How is everyone going?
Hope you're ok, Marley&Me. Xx
Still not much interest in the loo here, but he does say poo when he's weeing in his nappy now so he's getting that awareness which is something! [emoji3]
We are finally getting a bit more sleep with the baby sleeping a little longer at nights and Ds1 not waking during the night very often. Thank goodness.
Marley - Welcome to the world of TT. Its an interesting journey. I am happy to hear she is doing poo's on the potty as sometimes it can be an issue. And if she is taking herself your half way there lol. The first time we left the house i made sure if was just after he last used the potty and took a bag full of spare clothes. Jack goes every 2 hours so can usually get home and back by then. If we are out in the car for a long time (being in the country we sometimes are) i pop on a pull up but I dont think he has ever used it. A month ago we drove to Adelaide which is a 7 hour drive and i was stressing how we would go but he went to the loo when we stopped and it was a non event really. I had a pull up in case he went in his sleep but didn't get used. When we were away we popped into the local library for a bit of down time and he wet himself on the mat reading a book. I was so embarrassed but they were very kind. I wanted the ground to open up and swallow me :redface:
I hope life gets a little easier for you xxx
Andie - I am glad to hear that your littlest is sleeping longer. It certainly makes a difference when you get enough sleep. TT will come eventually. Why rush it lol
AFM - After months of waking between 5am and 6am DS has decided to sleep in till 7am this last week. The Gro Clock has been a godsend. We are at the point now of not really needing it but I still leave it set up because as soon as you get used to something they decide to change it up! He is sleeping well. Down by 7.20pm at the latest and will pretty much sleep through. I cant remember the last time I got up to him. Day sleeps are starting to change. He goes to bed at 1pm and up my 3pm. We and daycare always have to wake him however he has started not going to sleep at all. And copes very well if he misses a sleep. Daycare rang me yesterday to say he did not have a sleep but just laid down for an hour resting. I could not believe he just laid there! I said if he is not asleep after half an hour then get him up. Fridays is our day home and I put him to bed at 12.30pm and he crashes till 3pm. I have to wake him and it takes him a good half hour to wake up and wander out of his room. He must be tired by then.
Is anyone else loving this age? Its such a cute age. Playing hide and seek is our favourite although he cant hide very well :) He gets too impatient waiting for me and rushes out to me and calls out "find you" and giggles hysterically. Very cute. His speech is coming along finally and now i can understand him life is a lot easier lol. Food is still a bit hit and miss. Some days he will eat everything not bolted down others he cant be bothered. One day he loves a dish, the next day he pushes it away.
DH has just been offered a new job. It will involve travel every second week from Monday to Thursday so DS and I will be on our own. He has had jobs working away before but that was pre DS. The money was too good to turn down and its a role he will certainly enjoy. It will certainly be interesting.
How is everyone? Been meaning to pop in but never seem to get a spare moment to. Both kids are keeping me busy.
Ds1 has tonsillitis atm, poor thing. He's been on AB's for a few days now and seems to be getting better but still has a swollen node on his neck [emoji53]. Other than that he's been going well. Been waking somewhere in between 2-4am and either sleeping with dh (in his room) or sleeping with us in our bed. I ended up in ED and had gall bladder surgery a few weeks ago and wasn't there when he woke. I'm wondering if being in hospital having the baby, then being in ED, then being in hospital for operation has got him worried that I won't be there when he wakes. I don't know... I looking for a reason why he still doesn't sleep through [emoji52].
His speech is coming along and he has just found the dreaded 'why?' word. No TT yet, although he has started telling me before he does pop/wee now so getting there. His nappies are quite often dry too, until nap time or a point during the day when he must go all at once?! He quite often gels me he has a tummy ache then 5-10 mins later he does a poo. Still can't get him to pee in the loo, still prefers the bath?! [emoji15]
He's going through another mum only phase, dh can not do anything right for him atm. He is a lot more interested in playing with children at the park/music class, which is nice to see. He is loving diggers and dump trucks and we quite often go for walks to find them, the spend 20 minutes watching them while the baby sleeps (hopefully!). He also loves hide & seek, and calls 'ready or not, here I come', it's too cute [emoji7].
Vic - has dh started his new job? That sounds full on to be doing most of the week yourself. Do you mind me asking what he does?
Andie - I hope all your all feeling better. Gosh, gall bladder, tonsillitis you guys have been busy. I also hope DS1 sleep is better now your hopefully all feeling better. It can be unsettling on the little ones when something different happens (like you going into hospital)
My DH started his new job yesterday as a maintenance inspector for the government. He was working at our local hospital as a maintenance worker but this opportunity came up to get off the tools and do some paperwork instead. It will be nice on his body as he was exhausted every day. The position is based in our home town but his portfolio of properties is further up the coast so he will travel every second week to check up on how things are going. He is a carpenter by trade so had the ticket they were after. He came home yesterday smiling and said they seem like a "great bunch". We used to have our own business (gardening and property maintenance) which was so successful it meant working pretty much 7 days a week to keep up and not turn away customers. Then April this year a full time position came up at the local hospital which he applied for and accepted the position. It was a good job but the politics drove him a bit nuts. Then this position came up in another government department and he decided to throw his hat in the ring and he got that job too. So now he has a desk job and I said "welcome to my world". I love having a desk job. He used to say he loves working outside but on those cold rainy days or the crazy hot days he used to complain lol.
On another note DS is back to his cruisy self. I ended up putting him back in nappies for a weekend a couple of weekends ago and just back off the toilet training and the next day he was like "no nappy mum, jocks" so now we have not had any accidents in over 2 weeks and he happily goes to the toilet. He still cant pull his pants down quick enough but we are working on it. He doesn't wear a nappy in his daytime sleep and I think I could almost cut out the night nappy as its always dry.
We had our xmas show at daycare and he high fived Father Christmas and happily chatted to him. So much better than last years screaming photo lol. He is loving the idea of Christmas and turns on and off our Christmas tree lights. Its such an awesome age. Sometimes I wonder how I can love someone so much.
That's nice to hear that your hubby likes his new work people/job. It does sound like an offer to good to refuse, hopefully it's not too taxing on you when he travels.
I can't believe your little guy is doing so well at TT, I can't imagine my little guy going to the toilet like a big boy! Guess he will eventually but it will be odd... growing up too quickly. Although it will be nice not to clean up the nasty 2 year old nappies [emoji40].
DS1 loves the Christmas lights too, it's going to be fun this year now they're older [emoji4]
Well ds1 is finally going to the toilet/potty on occasion. He even did a #2 in the potty! He was in his bath and I could hear it coming so stopped him and asked if he needed to go and he said yes, popped him on the potty and he did it [emoji3]. Still in nappies and only going a couple of times a day but it's a start and I'm glad I waited for him to show interest bc it's really been a non-event.
Christmas was full on, fun for the kids but too much family get togethers, I'm glad it's over to be honest. Ds1 got a crane truck and a rubbish truck which he loves. And a cash register with a scanner which has been a hit [emoji4]. Ds2 is going well, finally sleeping a bit more (as of last week [emoji6]) so that's been great.
Hope everyone had a nice Christmas/new year. Xx
