October 04 - New Year Toddlers

[maisiemog]

Hi All, I thought I'd start a new 2006 thread for the October 2004 Mummies and Babies.

OK then how is Tweenie getting on at nursery? Poor you with the cold, uck! I had a sinus thing for about three weeks, it's poops. There's something about this time of year and colds.
I'm very pleased with little alf, tonight we got in from shopping/walking at about 6:30 so I took off his nappy and sat him on his potty, then went and made his dinner and changed the sheets on the bed.
I went back through to the sitting room and he was standing up playing with his bead frame, so I thought 'Oh he must have got bored on the potty' I looked in the potty and he had done a poop. He's so clever, he did a poop then got off and played.
Saves his poor old butt getting red.
I think he's getting the hang of it a bit. Although it's hard to tell, as he doesn't say anything.
Bye bye Baba.

well done to Alfie doing the poop poop!

tweenie hadnt been at the nursery this week due to having a cold and its too cold out there too

one of my friends came today with her 6 mths old DS - aawwwww... so adorable!! Tweenie wasnt too keen me holding him but tough!

What did she do when you held him biglips?

she was trying to climb up my leg to be hold so i sat down with the baby and she sat on my knee and was stroking his hair

BUT i had to keep on eye on her incase she slap him or summat! but she was fine

ooh ooh ooh!!! tweenie called me MUMMY! - hooray!!

That's very cute!
How's the cold now?

still very snotty but otherwise happy as usual... mine feels like its worst today

she hadnt called me mummy yet as i was so pleased to be a Mummy at last!

hi guys!!! took my exam today... all went well (had a bit of a hiccup cos mum forgotton it was exam day today but in the end was sorted (phew)

tweenie is learning how to blow her snotty nose atm and she hadnt called me Mummy since Friday - oh well...it will happen one day

those application forms are too much hassle !!!!!

Well little geog can say 'mamma' but his big brother 'nanex' is definately his friend of choice at the moment, he wonders round looking for him while he is at school.
I think he actually has some other type of food intolerence as we've had d & v for nearly 6 weeks now, waiting for a hospital appointment.

Congratulations Biglips. That sounds a bit hair raising, with your mum forgetting.
Are you getting on better with her now she's moved out?
I haven't filled out an application in ages, but for a while I was completing quite a few, you do get into the swing of it. If the form is online, you can cut and paste the same old thing.
Have you got any interviews lined-up.
You'll be too tired to post, then we only post once a month on this group.
Geo, is that Babygeog's new name 'Little Geog'?
Poor old boy, I hope it all gets sorted out soon. Do you have any suspicions about what's causing the reaction?
Oh I meant to ask, does anyone have one of those pop-up farm thingys? Can any of the babies popup all the animals yet.
He's doing well with his potty now, he carries the potty when he wants to use it. Tonight he carried it into the kitchen to DP and then they put it down in the hall and Alfie did peeps, then off he went again. He's so clever. Those babies are a lot smarter than you think.

The latest developmental coup by Alfie is spinning round and round until he falls over!
He has started to say a'o to his phone so that's progress for him.
Sleep he's waking a bit less early since I pushed his bedtime back a and cut the naps down. But it's so tempting to put him to bed at 7pm, because then I can get some peace. I'm like groan - another hour.
How's the job hunting Biglips??
How's Little Geog getting on? Did you hear anything about the food intolerence?
Is Cazzybabs married yet?
Is Evie sleeping 6 hours in a row yet?
Dum dum duuuuuuuuum!
Can't wait for next week's installment....

maisie - same to tweenie as she loves putting her Dads big work hat on and spinning around till she falls over..

ive just caught my DD on the top of the stairs as i was playing with her and she must've of flew up them stairs.. ive just put her back in the playpen now with a bottle... i cant even trust her in the playpen now as she had climbed out of it 3 times!!... im gonna have to buy some safety gates as still havent got any yet!! - oops!

Little geog has been to hospital today to have loads of blood taken to test him for just about everything under the sun and I have to get a poo sample, looking forward to that one!
At soft play today he knicked a banana out of someones handbag and proceeded to squeeze it until he had mush to smear everywhere, he was extatic, I have a lot of washing to do

Haha Geo, banana is the worst!!! I remember soaking collars in oxi-action for an hour to get it out. Good luck with that.
Getting a poo sample isn't exactly difficult with a 17 month old though - on the plus side.
When do you get the test results back?
Biglips, how does Baba walk up stairs?
I help Alfie down our outside stairs - we're in a flat. He either just stands there or he jumps down one at a time. The funniest is when I help him back up, he steps on one step, then the logical thing to do is to bring up the other foot onto the same step, regain balance and attempt the next step. Logical yes, but it's not the baby way.
No the baby way is to then bring the other foot from behind, bypass the obvious step and try to get it on the NEXT step. It's ridiculous.
It's like me trying to go up four steps at at time. He ends up leaning right backwards to get his foot high enough and totally losing his balance then kind of dangling from my hand. It's not going to work out.
Oh there's a ban on smoking in public places from this weekend in Scotland, so I'll be able to take Alfie into pubs now. He usually just has stuff from his minibar
There are going to be a lot of people standing outside the pub tonight puffing.

Moley's vocabulary now consists of bec bec (for becca dd2) & dames (for james). He's had yet another stinking cold so have been a bit paranoid about his temperature! Hope everyone's ok!

Hi girlw - sorry to keep appearing and disappearing once the wedding is over I will stop reading wedding chatboards and come back to mumsnet (phew says dp's bank balance!)

THE wedding is on Saturday - ahhh please pray for nice weather. We have had loads of people drop out so have some little - any one fancy a day out in Brum? Am praying I fit into the dress!

Today I had such fun - I went and had some (ahem - Boudair) photos taken for dp's wedding pressie! I hope they come out well!

Anyway hope you are all well.

OH god I must proof read - I meant little tables!

I didn't have a hen night - as I wasn't really in the mood.

Anyway my frineds from work have organsied a cocktail and pizza night for tomorrow!

OOOOOO! Saturday! I hope it's a lovely sunny day for you. Boudoir photos eh! I reckon your future dh will be impressed. I would die of embarrassment, did you have a drink first?
I would love a day out in Brum, but it's a bit short notice for me to come from Edinburgh.
It will be fab though.
What's Grace wearing on Saturday?
Kath I hope Moley's feeling better. Is his dancing improving? I remember you saying he could only move his top half.
Alf is now dancing with just his legs: up and down, a bit like that knee-bend policemen do when they say 'allo allo allo. Maybe they could join together and have a whole body dance.

No drink involved (well apart from tea) - I reackoned I'd given birth twice and as a consquence of that had women's fingers up my (you know where!!!), had a smear done, had a spray tan done therefore I could do anything and the company specalise in taking boudair photos of women and they themselves are all women! IT was fun!

Grace is wearing a cream dress from Debenhams with a feather shrug and is carrying a rose. Shall post photos as and when we get them!

Cazybabs - at the "boudoir" piccies!

When dh & I got married dd1 & dd2 were bridesmaids dd2 who was nearly 2 sat in the registry office and one by one ate the flowers in her basket!

Haha at the bridesmaid. We've got a wedding to attend at the end of April, and the invite is just to me and dp, no mention of Alf.
I can't imagine him lasting for a whole wedding and the thought of him during a four course meal with speeches is horrifying. What is the normal procedure with teenies? For the first-timers amongst us.

Only been to 2 since having kids, 1st with DS1 when he was 18 months, he just about survived the meal (buffet style) and I took him upstairs to bed (we were staying in the hotel)during the speeches, it was DH friends wedding so I wasn't that bothered. Second one kids weren't invited - quite civilised being out without them! We've been invited to 2 whitsun weekend this year, the one we are going to is DS1 godmother and its in the highlands, so flights, hotel stay the works with 3 under 5's - i'll let you know how it goes!

Good luck with that wedding! It sounds lovely though, hope it doesn't rain. Do your older kids amuse the littler ones?
I'm thinking about taking Alf to the ceremony (because I can go outside with him) and the pre-meal part of the reception, then meeting my mum somewhere and handing him over to her. It's not that far from my parent's house, so I can pick him up on the way home.
Not sure about leaving him overnight, they might be a bit knackered looking after him for that long?
We now have very few places where alfie can't get to, so he's managed to knock over about three cups of coffee, although he has been unharmed. It's such a nightmare, he loves cups?
