Our new place to chat about our beautiful toddlers! Where have our babies gone???

[KLou111]

Another thread girls, can't believe we're here already!

Hello ladies,
The weather was gorge yesterday wasn't it?
Nice today too. Got to go into the houses and paint a couple of rooms as got people moving in today and tomorrow. Only going to be a couple of hours though so not too bad. Have to take Euan as robs parents are having a new carpet fitted so furniture is everywhere, my mum and dad are away for the weekend and robs bro has been away working and is his day off today, so he said no.
Oh well, he should be ok, as long as he's got food and the ipad, he'll be happy! Annoying though as would love to leave him in the garden, but tenants will be there so don't want to disturb them.

Will have BBQ I think later. Nothing booked tomorrow.

Just to let you know aswell, I've come off FB for a bit, spending far too much time on it!

Forgot to say, mum and dad had Euan Thursday and night, they took him to soft play and he had a ball. Some lad about 3 tried to take it off him (his dad was there) and Euan wouldn't let go, so the little lad grabbed either side of eueys face and scratched him he's got 2 scratches either side of his eyes down to his cheeks. Mum said it looked worse the day before as you could see all the fingers, but only 2 broke the skin. Mum said she didn't tell me as I'd be worried. My poor baby.
Mum said the dad was great and told the little lad off. Euan was upset for a bit, but then went to play again.
What is it with those places?!?!

He always seems to get into scrapes at them places doesn't he! Poor little lad.

Yes nice weather here too.

Violet is turning into a little shit! Into everything, won't do as she's told, won't stand /still, running off. I'm losing my patience with her too easily!
3 weeks to benidorm, I can't bloody wait. I soooooo need the break.

How are you Iwish?

Ditto to not listening Liz!
Yesterday we nipped into one house, Euan was in the garden, me by the back door, all of a sudden he bolted down the side entrance to the front which is a main road and would not stop. He thought it was hilarious, I just thought run fucking faster choc! A true heartin mouth moment! I got him obviously.

Bet you can't wait for your hols, so bloody jealous!

Well, we've had our 3 things happen this week now. The scratching incident, today Euan smacked his head as he fell backwards onto a piece of furniture playing peekaboo and slit the back of his head, which now has a massive lump too. It was dripping blood down his back and wouldn't let us look so didn't know how bad it was. Turns out it looked worse than it was, still have been watching out for concussion though. Then we went to in laws for a cuppa this afternoon, he chased after the dog (Bali), pushed him with his foot, Bali got his nail caught in Euans shoes thus tripping Euan over and he smacked the top left of his forehead on a plant pot. Another big lump!
Seriously I swear we'll be down a&e with a broken something before he's 2!! Just like his dad!

It awful when they're near roads, obviously I don't let her free when we are near Roads but in town, cars sometimes drive down the pedestrian area and it can be dangerous even there.

Are you having a nice week. I'm liking this weather, not too hot, just right.

Hi girlies. I'm still here just knackered. It's bad that I'm too tired to type on MN lol. Still feeling sick too

Hope you are both enjoying the weather. I'm loving it, burnt myself yesterday tho..

Aww poor Euey! He always gets hurt in those places doesn't he.

Bet you are so excited for benidorm liz!

Bless you iwish!!!! I do hope it stops soon! I know I've said that, but I really really do! Are you staring to show? Have you told everyone yet?

I'm sort of glad of the symptoms but also fed up with feeling sick constantly. It is getting a little better so I reckon it will stop in a couple of weeks.
I've got a bit of a belly but I'm not thin anyway. A friend who knows said she can tell now but only because she knows if that makes sense.
I haven't told people yet just a few close friends. Scan is in just under 3 weeks

Is it hot in your neck of the woods? It was hot here on Tuesday, bloody burnt myself!!

Yes it's been quite warm, well a mixed bag really, one day it's red hot, the next cloudy with rain, but yes warm at the minute.

Me and vilet are sat in the garden at the min, she'slaying on her slide and Im sitting on the swing.

Omfg!!! We put Joshua to bed at 7:30. 7:35 the door goes so I answer it and talk to my neighbour for a minute then shut the door.
Locked the door and turned around to find Joshua stood on the stairs!!!!!!
He had climbed out of his cot, opened his door and started to walk down the stairs!! Fuck!

Bloody hell!!! How's he managed that!! Good lad tho for not falling!

Violet started to try nd get her leg oer the top. But she ant quite reach...yet! I dead the day she does. I was only thinking he other night, I ought to look out or a cheap stair gate for her room.

Now you're screwed iwish!!! I bought a portable gate for euans room the other day, a mesh one lindale I think, its that or the broom under his handle!! Welcome to my world! :)
Hope you're feeling better, eek 3 weeks exciting stuff!!!

Lovely and sunny here too. Euan at in laws til 4, just running around collecting rent, last one then home for 1.30 hopefully.

Hope all ok Liz and you're enjoying the weather. Not long til your hol.

I'm going to a hen do in July, can't remember if I said. Anyway, we're all dressing up in French stuff, I've got a nice moulin rouge dress with fishnets :)
Anyway, we've been invited to the wedding too :) so excited. It's in Dinard in France, going the Thursday after eueys birthday 15th Aug til the sunday but will get Euan Monday. He was invited, but going to leave him so we can (ahem) enjoy ourselves a bit. 5 days, 4 nights away from our boy! How am I going to cope? ;)
It's a 2 day thing on the Friday and Saturday, all free as they pay for everything at wedding in France apparently. Be nice to have some time to ourselves and have a good knees up!

I don't know how he got out! Absolutely shit myself tho. He could have fallen down the stairs and really hurt himself, he's crap at getting down the stairs normally holding my hand! We have lowered the cot and will be keeping the gate at the top of the stairs locked from now on.

Think we got our stair gates from asda, they might have been on offer for £15 at the time.

What have you done today liz?

Did you do all your errands choc? Bet you are exited for your few days away but bet you will miss Euey.

God is it 7:30 yet?? Nick has been home from work about 6:30 all week and has gone to h

His friends tonight so I've been left to do everything all day and n

Aaaaargh!!!!! Stupid fat fingers

All day and night. This bloody child is tiring me out and has had some right paddies recently. Terrible 2s here I come lol.
Bed for him at 7:30 then I'm ordering take away

Lol fat fingers!
That's why I taught Euan at 10 months to go up and down the stairs. Mum said my eldest brother climbed over and fell down the stairs over the stair gate and she never had them after that. We haven't got them on the stairs as I'm scared he'll climb over them and fall. The temporary one says not to put it on the stairs. I think it's because if he pulls hard enough it may come off, even though he's not succeeded so far

Have fun tonight with him!

All good, back by 2 in the end, but had to go pick up the dog food we'd order and totally forgot about, so back at 2.30. Just had a lovely BBQ, got some loooooovely lamb steak from the butcher marinaded in mint sauce, was gorge!
Euey just in the bath, will let him up a bit later tonight as he's been out all day.
Just had a lovely couple of hours in the garden playing football, he's such a boy now and so funny. Where's my baby boy gone? Can't believe I'm thinking of his 2nd birthday already!

Oh did I mention he poo-ed in the bath this week? Omg, I was in his room over the hall and he shouted at me, I though to get out of the bath. Anyway, I came and he was shouting cos he's poo-ed! Never ever has he ever done that in the bath or at swimming! Very odd, must've been dying poor thing!

Morning, you're both probably still in bed, but I am so happy that we're finally getting somewhere with Euans sleep.
I started using the gro clock again last Saturday as even though we didn't mind him coming in at 5.30 and going back to sleep, some mornings he wanted to get up! So I said that's it, I'm trying the clock again.
He's become such a pleasure to put to bed awake since using that ferber book, then sleeps all through.

So last Saturday out came the clock. Sunday morning woke at 4.25 and I kept going in every 15 mins until 6am, showing him the clock that it was still sleep time etc, but he still kept getting up and crying (in went the earplugs!), but he couldn't get out of his room as I bought the gate that day.
At 6 I made a huge fuss of how he could now come into us, showed him the sunshine on the clock etc.
Monday morning woke at 5, did the same.
Tuesday morning woke at 5.25, same
Wednesday morning got up bang on 6!!!!!
That night he stayed at my mum and dads and didn't use it, and dad jumped in with him, which we've not done for weeks, but as long as they got some sleep, I didn't really mind, he woke at 7.45 there when dad did that
Friday morning he woke again at 5.25, so did the normal back to bed. That night I changed it to 6.10am to see if he'd go.
Yesterday morning he got up at 6.15!! But didn't go to bed til 8 so thought it was that.
Then this morning he got up at 6.40!!!! Was in bed for 7.30.
Going to set it to 6.30 for tomorrow to see if I can start to push to 7, goal is 7.30, but I'm over the moon with 6.40 in his own bed!

Tbh once he's up, he's up so earlier mornings again, but I'd prefer him to get up later in his bed as I don't really sleep well when he comes into us anyway.

That sounds brilliant choccy, ha ha on the pooing thing!!! Lulu only ever did that one, the one time I bathed her at a friends house too! Very embarrassing!!

Is been lovely weather! I have been to Appleby horse fair, just me and the kids, went friday after work, it's a 2 and a half hour drive if there no traffic nd took us 3 hours! It's a long story but Chris was ment to be going and we was ment to be going Saturday,but anyway, just me and kids went.

Lulu and violet both paddled in the river, lulu went open a friends horse in the river, she was dead brave!

On a pooh related subject, violet poohed when we was next to the river! She needed changing so I took her nappy off nd let her wander about for ten mins nappy free, next thing I could smell something, nd she had poohed, trod in it, tried to pick it up and still got some half hanging out!! We all shouted at the same time which made her cry! It was not good!!

Both kids were flat out in bed by half 7!

That made me smile with the poo Liz!
Very brave of lulu too, big girl! Hope you had fun.

Didn't do a lot here as usual as we didn't pan anything. Fucking 'friends' are useless!

Another good night. I put Euan to bed at 7.10, woke at 5, but I put him straight back to bed and all was good, but at 6.10 he woke again and rob went in and the poor little fella was soaked through! Rob said his nappy was full to bursting, and his bed was wet too, so if it hadn't been for that, I think we would have made 6.30. Getting there hopefully.........

Omg, had Eueys feet measured today and he's a huge 7f! A whole size bigger than his last fitting (it was the beginning of feb and felt awful he's been in small shoes!!)
Anyway, not a lot to chose from tbh ended up buying these as thought they were super bright and very cute as they have little lights but I wanted to get him some shoes too, but there's not a lot to choose from, so a bit stumped.

Well at least they were cheap! Have you looked at primigi shoes? You'd have to get him measured for primigi as I think their sizing is different, but they do lovely shoes although are more expensive than clarks. We used to have a independent shoe shop selling them but it's not there now. There's start right too but I've always been abit dubious of theirs as they always seemed abit hard although they are supposed to be as good as clarks.

Never heard of those Liz, heard of start rite ones.
Just watching some new ones on eBay (old styles), he can't wear red with everything lol!
But yes, fab they were cheap

found these but a bit boring

Well, I went into coventry shopping today while rob went to sort one of the houses and got Euey some shoes Nothing in the sale as they were all wide fittings, gutted. Anyway saw some nice brown soft leather ones but there was only one shoe in the box. The lady said the was a bag a couple of floors up that had odd shoes in and she would go and have a look.
Anyway she came back and couldn't find it, but found a pair of the same shoes in blue
She didn't have the box, so I said that's ok I'll have them half price (joking), she rang them up of the til and they were half price £16!
So got 2 pairs of shoes for £29!

Ohh yes abit like school shoes
