Ha ha ha Annie just seen this 
we really haven't been very good at keeping up our threads. Nearly five and we still haven't filled this thread. Might need to let it disappear into zombie thread land

MrsH 2 is a bit crazy isn't it?! J just had his first birthday end of last month, I have no idea where the time went!

Good to hear things are improving strawberry, we are just starting to get tantrums which was a bit of a shock tbh as he's always been so level headed 
Work is manic at moment and we're still relentlessly moving from one illness to another with no break (and no sleep!) so I'm permanently exhausted. Roll on the warmer weather to get rid of these bugs!
How is everyone doing? X

Hope you're feeling better eng
chesh why would you give up tea you crazy woman! I live on tea
We're still having some major strops here mainly around bed time and toilet. W will be lovely all evening but as soon as he's asked to do his 'bedtime wee' he strops and crus and wails and lashes out. Just had a half hour fight with him where he ended up not sitting on the toilet because it's impossible to make him but he got no bed time story and went to bed sobbing which makes me feel awful. No idea when it's such a fight at the moment with him.

'Tis the season to be snotty, Engels. Hope you're both better and the baby doesn't get it.
We're still in Germany. I sometimes worry that people won't understand their mixed up sentences but Kindergarten tell me that they never use English words, so they seem to only do it at home. Maybe they are just lazy at home and use the first word that pops into their head, no matter what language. And elsewhere they think a bit harder. I dunno.
My eldest (4 and a half) is very worried about people not understanding her. She even refuses to sing Happy Birthday to people because she thinks they won't understand it as it's English. Even though everyone knows and sings that song
ipswitch Sorry to hear that sleep is still a problem. But great to hear that there is some progress, albeit slow.

Congrats again engels (posted on fb too). I spent most days in ml with D out and about so N didn't get too bored and tantrummy. He has the odd one generally when he's had a really awful night, but on the whole we've been lucky so far.
Congrats too to talullah 
The comfort object for N - his Spot the dog toy - is helping a bit. He will now cuddle it at bedtime. His night wakings are still very bad and he's now on melatonin, which so far hasn't improved things. If anything, his nightmares seem more vivid and he can tell us what they're about. I've managed to get him falling asleep for me without hand holding (DH hasn't yet), but nowhere near leaving the room while awake stage. Progress is very slow (and we are extremely tired!)
D is going great guns - almost 14mo and he's all over the place! He's a climber (something N didn't do so much), so we're constantly having to remove him from precarious situations - he has no fear whatsoever, and a very cheeky grin while he's at it! I should be a size zero all the running about I do after him alone

Ohhh, exciting Tallulah
engels Well done on your first day alone! How is it going now?
killa We've had a few sicky days this January, mostly they were a bit under the weather though, nothing too scary. Not like the autumn of misery 2013 when they were both ill for nearly two months. I remember that F went to nursery exactly 1 day of December 2013. The rest of the time he was off sick.
Not long till spring now though, I can feel it
strawberry We seem to have just come out of a long, long, long tantrummy phase. F is so much better now and sometimes you can even, wait for it, reason with him. Yes really.
Mine are 4 and a half and 3 now and I think this has been my favourite age so far. They are so much fun but still tiny and cheeky and say funny things. We laugh so much how they mix and match the two languages. Great fun!
cheshire No sleep is a killer. No advice other than get yourself back on the tea, woman! A cup of tea after a sleepless night is sometimes my only lifeline.
Hope you are all well. Better go!

Fx Tallulah :) 2 are great fun but currently M is sleeping (or not as th case may be) like a pile of turd. 4 hours he was awake the other night midnight-4am then I had to go to work. Currently drinking a lot of Coke (as gave up tea for New Year).
Knackered but they are fabulous

Engels that's great news hope all is still going well.
We've had a horrendous 2 week cold with everyone ill. Am now waiting for chicken pox to strike as we've had two of his friends go down with it. The joys of January/ February
