Please check your info and let me know if there are any changes. :)

[kmmommy]

Thanks for the new thread and updating my information.

[Sal03]

Thanks for the new thread :)

Luckiest as always I am amazed at the family pictures you manage to get. That one was great!

October will be sending baby vibes your way. I am sorry it is not easy this time around. Tyler is such a doll as always. He looks like such a little boy now though. They are just growing up so fast!

preschool dylan goes 4 mornings a week through early intervention. he LOVES it and his language has exploded since he has been going. there are only 8 kids in his class so it really helped him ease in. we are going to send him to a regular preschool 4 or 5 (undecided) mornings a week in september. It was rough separation for both of us in the first 3 weeks but now it is perfect

[Bernie & Matt]

Update our ages, please. I'm thinking I haven't done that in awhile. My age is 32 and DH is 30. Thanks!!!

[OctoberPrincess]

Thanks for all the kind words! I'm thinking New Year, new thread, new luck!:)

Thanks for the new thread, it looks great! Please update our ages as well, I'm 29 and DH is 34.

Sal he does look like a little boy and not a baby, he is still so small though...he still wears 18-24 months in pants and tops! I may need to start getting him 2T for Gymboree since those tops are finally getting a tad short on him. Gap 18-24 fits him with room to spare though. It's good to hear how well you and Dylan have adjusted to preschool, I'm very nervous about Tyler going in September though I firmly believe he will enjoy it as he loves to socialize. We will start him with 3 mornings since he's never been away from me, aside from Grandma's and an hour at the gym daycare.

Luckiest i sent you a PM

Mrs. B thanks for all the updates. I'll be around more to help now!

Anyone else dealing with this? Dylan takes off his clothes or pjs as soon as he is put in to sleep. He has also been ripping off his diaper all the time. I have started duct taping it on which has been working. ridiculous!

[luckiestgirl]

Sal~Got the PM & PMed you back!!! Email me the pic & I will work with it!!!! Leah rips off her clothes but not when asleep. My friend has twins & they both rip off their clothes & diapers & she gets to clean the most wonderful mess every morning! :rolleyes: She tried putting the diapers on backwards, onsie pjs on backwards & tape .... the little monkeys have mastered everything!

I put my new stats in Red. WOW can you belived our babies are going to be 3 soon! It amazes me everyday, what Lenny does. Over Christmas we found out that he knows his A,B,C's! Yes all 26 letters. L,M,N are jumbled but you can make it out. He can count to 10 in spanish! Thanks Dora, and he is such a big help around the house.

[Summer 2004 moms]

Updated to here! Congrats on the new baby coming, AirForceLove!

[OctoberPrincess]

Wow, this thread has been quite for too long! I just booked Tyler's 3rd birthday party at the Chidren's Museum, he loves the place and over here if you don't book it now the date will not be availalbe in June.:rolleyes:

I'm having the hardest time deciding which preschool to enroll DS into, I have 2 top contenders but they are very different....

I'm also having the hardest time selecting DS's big boy bedding and furniture, he's been asking for a big boy bed (and a green room) since Decemeber.... He really seems to like the sports bedding and keeps claiming that anything without a baseball on it is for girls, though it's not like he's really into baseball, KWIM? The sports theme seems so typical but I know DH would love it and it would be easy to find cute accessories for him room.... I picked up the PBK Tranportation bedding set while it was on sale but DS isn't really into it so I may end up returning it.

Well I hope everyone is doing well. BTW, Tyler is in big boy underwear full time (except sleep) and has been doing excellent for almost a month now!:D I'm so relieved that it won't be something we have to force on him before school starts!

[Bernie & Matt]

Alright, jealousy speaking. OctoberPrincess what's your secret on potty training? DS was doing well at day care until the start of Jan. He never would use the potty at home, but was staying very dry at dc. Now he won't go at dc at all and the only way I get him to sit on the potty at home is through jealousy....I put 11 mo. DD on the potty and hopefully jealous brother will join in. At this rate I'm figuring I'll have DD pt-ed before DS :rolleyes:

[OctoberPrincess]

Bernie, Tyler's interest in the potty has wavered drastically since he was 23 months old, I think what really pushed him was the Potty Power video Santa got him plus the urge to go to preschool. When we went to visit a preschool that he really liked the director told him he would have to be in big boy underwear if he wanted to come back, he decided that he didn't want to wear diapers anymore later that day! If he doesn't tell me after and hour I just take him the the potty and ask him to try but he usually tells me now. I know if he is going to do something because even if he doesn't initially want stop playing to go he won't fight me once we get to bathroom, but if there really is nothing to do he will fight me about even standing near the potty. Good luck, I truly believe every child is different with PTing and there is no right or wrong.

We just moved Lenny into big boy underwear (except for sleeping) this week! School works with him all day and we just continue at home. We ask him every hour if he has to go. If he has not said he has to go after an hour we also take him. I am so proud of him!

[Celia]

Milo is not intersted at all in potty training. We are having speech issues and he is also scheduled for surgery in 2 weeks for his tonsils and adenoids.

[Noniitis]

Hello all

It has been I while since I heard from you all so I just found the new thread..

Toilet learning has started in our house slowly too. We have been traveling a lot since the 1st of the year so I really didn't want to tackle this while I was in another country.

We started going to a Mommy and Me class at the Spanish Immersion preschool that I looking at taking Lewis to. We've gone for 2 weeks and so far so good... I am completely lost since I do not speak spanish but he loves it so we shall see. Our school district also has a lot of preschool options too and I am going to an open house tonight to look at those. If he were to go into those programs he would be with a lot of the children we have attended ECFE classes with since he was only 7 weeks old... So I think either option for us would work out really well. He loves going to school and asks to go on days we are not schedulled to go. Preschool is a big source of stress for me I really hope I make a good choice for Lewis.

I really enjoy our ECFE's separating classes... It has us come in and play with our child for 15 minutes then we go off and have a group discussion for an hour then the teacher that is with the kids comes in and tells us what she observes with our kids and then we go back into the room and sing and go home. We have talked about some of the most interesting subjects. Its has been a very positive class for both Lewis and I.

3rd birthdays isn't that something... Lewis is totally birthday obsessed we have had so many parties with his little friends in the last few months. Everyday when we are out he will tell someone its his birthday... I have to tell him its not and that it will not be his birthday until the summer time. He will then say Where is my Summertime? Fuuny how fast the time flys for me and how slow it goes for him.

Hapa - Your kids are adorable! I am envious of the beach and sunny weather!

I'm going to friend you on LJ. I'm kms03.

[Jen1098]

Ack long time no see.

I hardly every get to post now. It would be a dream to have both kids nap at the same time. Heck it'd be a dream to have Kyle nap longer than a half hour.

Josh is doing great. He's doing much better with his babybrother. Right now he's "showing" him how to shake a shaker. " No baby shake this way" So bossy.:)
We just sent out his deposit for pre school next year.:eek: It's a co-op, we're very excited.

Potty training-we're so-so. He's peed on the potty but I wouldn't dare leave the house with him not wearing diapers yet.

Hapa OMG, what great pictures. I'm on LJ-friending you. I'm also Jen1098 over there.

CeliaGood luck with Milo's surgery.

I'll be back later to catch up some more. Hope everyone is doing great!

Here's a pic. of Josh when we were watching airplanes landing.

Jen good to *see* you! Josh looks like such a big boy! i can't take it! I am trying to be on LJ more. I am Rebecca202 over there. I think I have you on my friend's list. add me and I'll try to visit!

Hapa like I said in the April thread...I am VERY jealous of beach pictures. your kids look beautiful in those pics! add me to your FL and I'll try and visit! :) I am finally starting to figure out LJ

Celia Good luck with Milo's surgery. Please keep us posted.

Potty training just a mess. Dylan HATES being in a diaper, yet won't go on the potty. he went through a phase where he would at least sit for a while. now he won't even sit. I've had to duct tape his diaper on many times. good times :rolleyes:

Dylan just loves preschool. he goes 4 mornings a week and has a blast there. it is hard on the weekends now because he is SO used to his schedule and being so stimulated all week so we really have to keep him entertained. he eats the same few things, barely any chicken or meat. SOMETIMES meatballs if I am lucky. He is talking up a storm finally. He loves his little sister and gave her a few spontaneous hugs before which melted my heart. Hope everyone is doing well!

[Jen1098]

Sal Added you-now it's time for you to start a journal over there.:)
Still stinks that we aren't closer since both the kids are so close in age.
Sorry but I have to laugh about the duct tape.

[luckiestgirl]

Hapa-LOVE your pictures! I friended you on LJ!

Jen-Josh is adorable!!

Well, looks like my family is affected by the peanut butter recall. We have all been sick off & on for the past few weeks. Found out today about the recall, checked the numbers on our peanut butter & sure enough....ours is bad. We are all undergoing testing to see if we got the salomonella poisoning!

Other then that, we are all fine just super busy!

We are also working on potty training. We've been going strong on no diapers for the last week with very few accidents until yesterday :rolleyes: But really, considering I haven't done a lot of work on it with him, Josiah is doing great!

He is currently obsessed with trains and circuses. He's been going back and forth between wanting to watch Thomas and Dumbo. So, I'm thinking of having a circus train birthday party for him. We had A Very Hungry Caterpillar party last year and a dog party the year before.

We've got a slew of birthday parties coming next month, so he'll be getting hyped up for his own pretty soon ;)

I see that lots of you are talking Potty training. Paige is 100% trained even at night. It only took us a week. She was so excellant! I tried to do it about 6 months before Christmas and she didn't want anything to do with it. Then around Christmas I tried again and she loved it. I gave her stickers to put on a piece of paper taped to the back of the bathroom door. 1 sticker for peepee 2 stickers for poopoo. Worked like a charm!

[Summer 2004 moms]

Updated to here! Welcome MizLarner and luvalwaysMandy!

[MizLarner]

I have a potty training conundrum.. We did great for a week with potty training, from the beginning of that week, he was sleeping through the night without having any accidents. At the end of the week, he started having accidents all the time, mostly during the day. I know part of the problems with the accidents during the day was that he went from saying "I need go potty" to "I need help!" and no one got what he was asking 'help' for until too late.

By the end of this last week, accidents have progressed to night also. Drove me nuts yesterday, he refused to got to the bathroom AT ALL until 3:44pm (I was so amazed, I checked my watch!), and then after that point he had accidents left and right. . I don't get how he could hold it that long, and then not be able to control it. And the bed accidents.. last night I made sure he went to the bathroom before he went to sleep - still had a major accident.

Tips? Suggestions? Numbers of therapists? kidding.. ;)

[OctoberPrincess]

MizLarner night training is usually the last step in potty training, infact I recently red that it's perfectly normal for some kids to bedwet until they are 6 years old. I got this info from BabyCenter:

It's so common for 2-year-olds to wake up wet that we shouldn't even call it bed-wetting — it's normal. A laid-back attitude is key, so whatever you do, try not to scold or punish your child for wetting the bed. You don't want to make her feel bad about something she can't control. Almost half of all children still wet the bed at age 3. Most experts consider bed-wetting normal until age 6, when only 10 to 13 percent of kids still wet the bed. Nighttime dryness is a tricky skill for a child to master, since it depends on her bladder being able to hold urine for an extended period of time. And if your child is a deep sleeper, the process is even more difficult because she hasn't yet learned to wake herself up and head for the potty when her bladder feels full.


If I were you I would put your DS in pull-ups at night and work on day training first, when you notice he has stayed dry through the night for 3 or 4 nights, try going without the pull-ups for another 3-4 nights. If he has accidents most nights then put him back in pull-ups and try again later.

Good luck and HTH!

This is what I was wondering about. Thanks! I think I'm also going to severely limit drinks at night so I don't have to worry about it working it's way through his system after he's gone to the bathroom before bed.

Welcome Mizlarner!

weird CC just posted before I was ready!

Jen I have not started a journal yet but I will come visit yours!! Yeah, I took some pics of the duct tape to show him one day what he forced me to do!!!

[OctoberPrincess]

Celia hope everything went well, give him a big hug from Tyler and I! Love the pics, he's adorable!

[Nikkid]

I've had to duct tape his diaper on many times. good times :rolleyes:

I think I may seriously have to consider doing this. DD keeps taking her diaper off constantly! She's even done it a few times with poo in it. :eek: I'm having a difficult time with potty training her. A few months ago she was doing so well. She would go #2 almost every time on the potty and was doing farely well with #1. Now the past few months she has gone back to going in her diaper full time. Now she contantly takes her diaper off when she is wet (or soiled) and then runs in the bathroom and sits on the toilet and says she's all done. I'm not sure what to do.

I noticed that Mandy posted that she used stickers. I told DH about it and I think we might try that. We need to do something. I hate having two in diapers and it's been that way for awhile around here.

[luckiestgirl]

MizLarner~WELCOME!!!!! Accidents through the night.... I was told that some kids' bladders are too small & some the muscles aren't developed enough to "hold it in" throughout the night. I was also told that BOYS have a harder time with nighttime training. My son had issues because of his muscle tone for MANY years. They finally gave him a pill to take when he got older because he just couldn't hold it in at night (muscles were too weak) even when not drinking anything 2 hours before bed & going right before bed. The pill helped constrict the muscles at night.

Celia~HELLO!!! LOVE the pictures!

We are doing the potty training here too. Leah does great but when she is too busy playing she won't take time out to go then has an accident. I have to force her sometimes when I know it is "time". She has had a few dry nights but most of the time she goes at night so we still use the pull ups. We haven't tried going out in public yet with pull ups & don't think I will try that until it is warmer! The 10-12 inches of snow we got means coats, hats, mittens, boats & way too much time to take things off to go potty! LOL

We had issues with the recalled peanut butter & have gotten sick off & on for a few weeks. Then we found out about the recall.... BUT all of us are ok now! Thank the Lord! Scary! I haven't posted pictures in a while....sorry....I now babysit 7am-4:30pm every day during the week! I am EXHAUSTED & way behind on everything! I am going to be looking into doing something else because I am just not being told when they are going to be late, told last minute that they aren't coming at all, etc.

Hopefully I will get time soon....she is growing up so fast!
Have a great week everyone!

[Bernie & Matt]

I have to brag to someone, so this seemed an okay place :) C went potty for the first time at home (he's gone plenty in day care, but really resists doing it at home). He told me he had to go and was able to hold it until I got him on the potty. I was beginning to worry about preschool in the fall (irrational, I know, but still worried). :)

[luckiestgirl]

We were hit pretty bad this weekend by an ice storm then snow storm & we are giong to get hit again today... The wind was blowing so hard & was freezing the rain as it came down so the icycles all froze slanted:

The neighbors tree broke because of the weight of all the ice that was frozen on the tree & landed on their garage. I have pictures on my site of that... It then snowed & we got about 12 inches of snow! We are suppose to get hit later tonight, tomorrow & a little on Friday! INSANE!

Hope everyone else has better weather then us! :rolleyes:

[deelcie]

:confused: How did I not know about this thread??? Thanks for including my info tho! :)

You can add me to the list of repeat offenders too. My EDD is at the end of this month, 3/26. I have been back in LA for about a month and a 1/2, patiently awaiting the arrival of Baby #2. :)

Deacon has been in big boy underwear for about 6(?) months now and pullups at night. His preschool was a HUGE help in getting him potty trained. They kinda pressured me to send him to school in underwear instead of diapers, I finally relented, he peed himself the 1st day and then the 2nd day, no accidents. There have been lots of accidents since then and it took a while for him to use the toilet at home, but overall he's pretty good. Last night, he spent the night at my parents' house (our 1st stint apart for more than 24 hours--trying to get him ready for when mom is in the hospital) and my dad said he heard him come out of his room around midnight, pee in the toilet, flush, and then go back to bed. :eek: Then, of course he peed his pjs tonight, right before bedtime. :mad:

luckiestgirl I can't believe the weather you are having!! I am such a cold weather wimp, I think I'd be afraid to leave the house! Back home, it's been raining non-stop since before I left. I read on CNN yesterday that the president declared a state of emergency due to all the flooding and all the roads into the city where I live are washed out. Sooo glad to be high and dry in sunny CA right now! (poor DH)

[luckiestgirl]

My 8 year old was carrying a box of beads & was coming around the corner one way & Leah was running full force the other way & Leah slammed right into the hinge of the bead box. Poor girl...)

luckiest - That's incredible, you can just faintly see the actual outline of your van underneath the snow!

[luckiestgirl]

MizLarner~WOW I didn't catch that & had to go back & look. I can definately see a faint outline of my van! Isn't that just crazy???


Well, my little peanut woke up the middle of the night throwing up. She looked horrible. Poor girl. We have been fighting vomiting, diarrhea, body aches, etc in this house for about 5 weeks now. It is getting really really old! Poor girl did not look good at all last night. But this morning she looks ok...just tired. I have to wash all hte bedding (changed it & she threw up on the 2nd set too...) so will be busy today! I put her on the BRAT diet today so we will see how she does. So far so good.... I gave her a banana & some 7-up to sip on... she didn't eat/drink a lot but it is a start & I don't want her having too much otherwise she will probably just throw it up anyways....

UGH

[MizLarner]

Aww, poor girl. We had a little bit of that with Josiah and DH a couple of weeks ago, but 5 weeks! That's really got to wear you down :(

[luckiestgirl]

Well, Leah is fine & back to her ol self! She is screaming (with excitement) fall day long! She has to WORST high pitch scream EVER! But at least she is feeling better!

[Steve's Sweety]

Today she had NO accidents! Yesterday she asked the nursery lady to take her to the bathroom which has NEVER happened.... AND she asked to go while in public & that never happens. AND now she has been dry through the night TWO nights in a row! She played outside in the snow with daddy & even came in to go potty! YEAH! I am so ready to be done with diapers/pullups!

[Sal03]

Luckiest Leah absolutely cracks me up. She is such a ham!! Your pictures are always so good. They give me ideas for mine. How is everything with DH?

Titia preschool is so weird! I was like HOW did I get here when we first took D in september! He absolutely loves it now though and I know H will too

deelcie hope you are feeling good! DD's bday is March 23. end of March is a lucky time :D

D is talking up a storm. It is the best to hear him say I wuv you mommy. WOW. he has so many fears though. he hates the car wash, used to love the vacuum - now he is scared...maybe it is the age. Now he knows enough to be scared! He and K are so cute together. I love when they make each other laugh and play together.

[luckiestgirl]

Sal~Thanks for the compliments on the pictures! She is such a ham, isn't she?!?!?! DH & I are doing great! We were going to an 8 week course called "The Marriage Course". Kind of like what you would do on a marriage retreat but spread out over 8 wks. Due to illnesses, we missed the last 2 classes but the lady said we can borrow the material so that we can finish it! So we are going to do that! I think a lot had to do with his job... once he put some boundaries down about things (like his clerk calling ALL the time & even in the middle of the night!), he has totally changed! You just can't let your job take over your life! Or let your workers do that! (He is a supervisor over 3 shifts at a plant here...) We still have some things to work on but there has been major change already & we now (because of the course) make sure to take time ALONE away from all the kids.... that was one thing we were totally lacking! Thanks for asking! :D

Mrs B she is so gorgeous! they both are! Happy Birthday to Gina :)

[Steve's Sweety]

Happy belated third birthday to Gina!

I just can't believe that in a few months we will all have THREE year olds!

----------

Things are good here.
Holden is a constant source of amusement for us, it is just so fun to watch his personality develop.

I am pregnant again and we saw the heartbeat last Monday (178 at 8weeks!) so I am hoping things will go smoothly and we will get to bring a healthy full term baby home with us around the beginning of December!
Right now it's a bit tough because the EDD of our Angel Baby is coming up, but we are trying to be excited for this baby too.

Of course I can't come by without leaving some pics. :)

Right before Easter, we finally got Holden's hair cut short (well what I call short anyway)

Thanks Terena & Sal!


I forgot to put in my last post that my EDD is 12/9/07. So I am 12 weeks today!


So what is everyone getting their little ones (can I still call them that?!?) for their birthday?

Holden is not really big into toys, so I'm just kind of at a loss at what to get him.
He seems to really like toy tools when we go somewhere that has them, but I'm afraid the same thing will happen as with other things where I see he likes something, so I get it and then he doesn't play with it after a few days.
I've been thinking about something like this (http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=6686&cmSource=Search) or maybe a teeter totter (http://www.amazon.com/Step2-722300-Naturally-Playful-Teeter/dp/B000067R1S/ref=sr_1_14/103-6286980-8887822?ie=UTF8&s=toys-and-games&qid=1179859055&sr=1-14).
Our neighbors have this (http://www.step2.com/direct/index.cfm?action=details&product_id=1104&ppcgoog=711400&002=52&004=247870026&005=1579830516&006=550834806&007=Search&008 =) and he really liked it last year but he does have several ride on toys (granted none with the cool coaster part).

Just thought I'd see what everyone else's kiddos were liking.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!

[Bernie & Matt]

DS got a bouncer like the first one you posted for Xmas. We just blew it up last weekend and it's the hit of the whole neighborhood, including him. That being said, we're getting DS a sandbox for his birthday. We got him a playscape last year and the base is already boxed out perfectly to add sand. It's not much, but the grandparents go so overboard, we feel we can do something little and be okay.

[OctoberPrincess]

Titia I'm so happy for you, congrats on your pregnancy! Here's wishing you a happy and healthy 6 more months!:D

Tyler loves that ride on coaster (his best bud has one) but it does take up lots of space and I'm not sure how much use they will get out of it at this point. I am also having a hard time giving people ideas for Tyler's birthday gifts. I purchased 3 Automoblox cars for Tyler, and a large Little Tikes slide. He is also getting a Glider Rider, it's a balance bike, from him Great Grandmother. I think that bouncy house would be a hit, I know Tyler can't get enough of jumping on the bed and he loves to crawl through tunnels and hide under tents I make out of blankets.

[Sal03]

Tish those toys look great!! I think we are having the grandparents get D a trampoline for outside. now that he finally can jump he loves it!! We got the step 2 water table (no sand) also and it is a huge hit with both kids. they could stand there and splash and play for hours.

He is the worst eater ever. He just eats nothing. Bagels with cream cheese or peanut butter, yogurt and sometimes egg salad or mac and cheese. and that is it. NO meat. Barely pasta. what kid does not like pasta with butter?? no veggies. only strawberries and watermelon for fruit. i just wish he would TRY other things. it's so frustrating.

[jki]

I can't believe everyone is almost 3!

Jackson is finally fully potty trained! Yay! I told him he could start wearing underwear for naps/bed whenever he is ready - though we do have quite a few pull ups to use!

For his birthday, I think we're getting him a bicycle.

LOL. Jackson is a total picky eater as well. He doesn't touch pasta. If we force him to taste something, he'll start gagging, he'll spit it up and then start crying. :rolleyes: It's ridiculous. He only eats PBJs, frozen waffles, hot dogs, and some fruits. Oh and the only vegetables he eats are BABY FOOD - pureed peas or sweet potatoes. :o I'm asking his ped about food aversion therapy at his 3yo appointment because I'm SO fed up!

[Nikkid]

Helly everyone, it's been awhile since I've been here. I read occassionally, just never get a chance to post.

I can't believe we are turning 3 pretty soon. I'm getting nervous about it because Kaitlyn still is not potty trained. My two older boys were both potty trained by the time they turned 3 so I was hoping she would be too. She knows how to do and has done it several times, she just doesn't want to do it a lot of the times. We have tried giving her stickers when she goes or some other kind of treat but that hasn't really worked either. I just don't know what to do to get her to go consistently.

She went almost a week without an accident but then went right back to going in her pull ups again, so I know she can do it. When she does go potty in her pants I ask her if she wants to be a big girl and she will say No, I want to be a baby. :mad: I want her to start pre-school in the fall with her brother but she has to be potty trained before she can go. Is anyone else still struggling with potty training? TIA

[luckiestgirl]

I wasn't getting notifications that anyone was posting! bummer...

Leah turned 3 on the 3rd. I can't believe my "baby" is THREE! Where did the time go ladies???

We had a bday party for her on Saturday. Leah LOVES curious George & basically any monkies. We got her a monkey plate & cup, a curious George, a BIG stuffed monkey, a Curious George coloring book with stickers & 2 shirts with nemo & Minnie on it. My mom & brother both got her a curious George then my aunt got her a monkey rug, monkey beach towel & a monkey head cup with straw! She also got several outfits & a dress & money money money!

Here is what I have been doing lately....
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b200/luckiestgirl/IMG_0293.jpg

UM...yeah...I broke my toe.... the ugly discolored one.... My oldest graduated on June 8th & we had her open house on the 9th. I broke it right before that. Nice...it still hurts like heck & it is still bruising! I might have to go back in!

We have other news.... the school wasn't following my 6 yr olds care sheet & weren't telling subs about her condition (life threatening...) so worse case is she could have died... So now after much fighting I have come to the conclusion that they just aren't going to make sure she is safe. Her doctor is NOT happy! So I am going to be homeschooling. She is sick a lot so this will hopefully bring her grades up. She misses so much she falls behind. My 9 yr old also wants to be homeschooled so I will do her too & I am going to do Leah when she gets to Kindergarten. My friend brought over homeschool curriculmn for Alyssa & Meagan's grades they just got out of & the homeschooling is WAY more advanced then the public school!!! I am going through everything with them & catching them up to the homeschool curriculumn grade level. Other then that not much going on!

Hope everyone is doing great & enjoying their summer!

[Steve's Sweety]

Thanks Melissa!
BTW, what are automoblox? I'm sure I could find them on google but I've never heard of them.

Kelli -
Ouchie! I hope you heal quickly!
Leah is so darn cute!

We actually ended up getting Holden - a scooter. :eek:
I didn't really want to get him one but we live near a skate park and he is obsess with skateboards and wanted one of those! No way, so we found a scooter that says for ages 2-5 and he picked right up on it and does great. And I am happy after all because it is good physical activity and gets me up and moving too. :p
One of the other things we got him that he absolutely loves is a wooden puzzle (he has some cardboard ones and they are still too tricky for him).

Here is a pic of us on his birthday

And one of him enjoying his obsession er, present at his party (we had it at a nearby park on the channel of Lake Michigan and it was gorgeous!)

I hope everyone is enjoying the beautiful summer!

[luckiestgirl]

WOW that is a neat scooter Titia! I like that. My younger ones try to ride my son's & fall over all the time. That might be an idea for them!

[Steve's Sweety]

Kelli -
We got it at TRU, it was only like 24.99! He loves it so much. We did get pads for him to wear when he rides it, and he does wear his helmet too, we just didn't have all that set when he opened it. :o
But he was able to pick up how to do it immediately and he has yet to fall off it at all so I think it's a great one for younger kids!

How is your foot doing?

---------

We are having a great summer so far.
I have Holden in Kindermusik for the first time, plus he has been in swimming lessons non-stop since Nov (they said it's better if we just bring him continuously, before we would do one session here and there) and signed up for a week trial of tumbling this month, plus the summer reading program at our local library. I am loving it, (and so is he!) and even though it seems like a lot when I say it, it doesn't really seem like it and I needed some distractions for the summer since I don't have a newborn like I thought I would.

He is so full of questions about everything these days! And then when you give him an answer he of course asks "why"?
It is a super fun age though, I just love watching him learn new skills and how proud he is of himself when he does. :D


Happy 4th of July everyone!

Happy 4th of July!!!!

We didn't do much since I took my 2 oldest to the airport. They flew to see my ex DH brother (their uncle). They haven't seen him in about 8 years. DH gave them up & my new DH adopted them. Even when they were seeing X he didn't take them to see their uncle much so they haven't seen him in so long. I found out his email & emailed him a couple months ago & he was so thrilled. I am so glad that they get to see him again! Wish I could have seen the look on their faces when they got off the plane & saw him! :D

Titia~I am going to have to go see if I can find me one of those! My foot is so so... swelling has gone down & the bruising is almost gone but it is very very tender still. The top of my foot is so sensitive I can't really touch it so I think I cracked a bone there too! I am going to make another appt to have it checked out.....

Hi everyone! Somehow I lost the old May 2004 Mommies thread. It must have went away. I've really been spending most of my time on LJ and babycenter lately. Its great to see some familiar names on here though.

Hi Titia! I hope your pregnancy is still going well! Your son is absolutely adorable.

Now if I can figure it out, I'll post a picture of Olivia and maybe one of my recent 4D U/S that was taken on Friday! I'm so excited to be 32 weeks now and baby will be here before we know it. I feel huge though!

Olivia is STILL going through potty training. She graduated to the 3 year old class last month and the teachers thought that maybe moving her up would incentivize her to use the potty, but she's just sooooooo stubborn! She gets that both from her Daddy AND Me! HAHA. We're pretty much doomed to have stubborn children with all of our kids. Last night I had her sit on the potty if she wanted to sleep in my bedroom. She sat there for an HOUR and I was giving her glasses of water thinking, she's bound to go. Well she never did. So at midnight, I put a pull up back on her and wouldn't ya know it within 5 minutes, she'd peed in her pull up. AGHGHGH! This potty training is driving me batty.

Do we need to have pictures on photobucket to post? Well here goes...

Thanks, so is Olivia, she totally has your gorgeous hair!
I love the u/s shot!
Good to know there are others on #2 who are leaving the sex a surprise. We go for our big u/s today. :D

[Sal03]

Welcome Angela!

I am glad to hear that Dylan is not the only one not trained. He is nowhere in the even remote NEIGHBORHOOD of being trained. Is anyone else in the same boat?

[mrs_barkley]

Gina isn't trained either. She hates to stop what she's doing to go potty. Emalee loves to sit on the potty tho lol. She may train before Gina.

[mrs_barkley]

Since our kids are mostly 3 now , do ya'll want a new thread?

[Celia]

Milo poops and pees in the potty but he is not fully trained either. Part of the reason is becuz he stays at home with my mom while i work and it isnt done during the day. He only does it with me. He also usually will not tell me when he needs to go. I am starting to worry becuz he will start going to the school I work at in SEPT.
