October 06 - Happy Slappy Toddlers

[taffy101]

Heehee thought I'd start the new thread. there seemed to be a recurring theme from everyone's recent posts - hence the title.

Hope everyone's well and that you found us without too much trouble

CONGRATULATIONS samsmam!

& HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

Oh samsam thats just brilliant . Congratulations to you and dp. Are we all invited?
Many Happy Returns for your birthday too.
Is it Graves End you live? If so its about hour and half drive to here. My parents live in Kent and it takes about 2-2 and half hours to them. Bring dp soon to be dh along too. More the merrier.
Anyone else fancy it?
I live North London.

Happy Birthday SAMSMAM! Congratulations - did he get down on one knee? What kind of ring did you get? How exciting for you. I thik it is a blue one I am cooking but it remains to be seen - we'll soon find out. He/she keeps punching me and it causes me a pain in the bum, quite literally! It seems to be whacking a nerve in my lower colon/rectum area - very uncomfy

Was chatting to one of my neighbours yesterday - she is due on Thurs with her first. I don't really know anyone here yet so I am hoping we might become friends as we don't have nay here and her and her DH seem nice.

Anway Amber is being a monster - again so must go shout attend to her

hi all. have been flattened with knackeredness since ferdie was born so have only been managing to keep up on the postnatal thread for feb 08 off and on. things starting to ease up now and become enjoyable most of the time-phew!
rumpel-so exciting you're so nearly there now. yes, i had much stronger bh contractions 2nd time round.
gingeme i've been following your lead on not potty training after a complete failure a while back. are you starting now? we've had one of those poo incidents too. Hope has no idea when she's done a poo i think, if i ask she says no, because she doesn't want to be taken off to have her nappy changed.
congratulations majormoo and effie. i definitly think it's harder to be at home than at work when pg.
babyducky hope is always trying to sit at a normal chair now too. maybe should take the bar off her highchair?
hi wuzzle, anna sounds like she's cracking along at the moment.
samsmam how are you doing? it is amazing what happens to your brain when both lo's start crying isn't it? thank goodness they're doing it less now so not losing my rag so often. Hope has started saying 'oh shit' and 'oh god' . bad bad mummy. lucky she hasn't picked up on the other ones

CONGRATS samsmam!!! Happy Birthday + Good luck with the job interview too. UR busy!

Yuckyuck poo incidents - eek. Keep those nappies on for 3 years. When potty training dd she fed her poo to our dog which was very revolting. The dog thought it was her birthday.One to embarrass her with on her 18th - although she quite happily regaled our hairdresser with the tale a couple of weeks ago - I was so

PL = LOL @ oh shit and oh god!! Shows what perfect mimics they are hey.

Had to put Owen's highchair away cos he was being dangerous and climbing up it. He now has one of those booster seats like you babyducky. We have to keep the tray on it when not in use though or he climbs on that too! MONKEY CHILD

Re camping - I thought I was being brave too, but there was nowhere Owen could disappear to, and he follows dd like a shadow so it was n't too bad, just had to barricade bbq/stove with chairs at meal times. Would defo do it again. The tent was big enough to put a travel cot in so that was easy.

Morning ladies.
How was your birthday samsam? Whats your ring like? Is it bling?
How you doing Rumple? Any twinges yet? I bet your just sick of people asking you that aren't you
Hope everyone else ok.

CONGRATS Samsmam!! and a late happy birthday lol

Hiya all else

had a brilliant holiday and Anna was a gem!! Absolutely brilliant! Hotel, food (bye bye diet for the week), staff, all amazing. It just went too quickly

Hope all are well! As for potty training, I'm not starting just yet, but she does tell me when she done a poo and is starting to understand when shes doing a wee too, so won't be too far away, but not just yet.

Afternoon ladies.

Happy Fathers Day

I think Edward is going through his terrible twos early. Hes been a right little sod the past few days . His new word is 'no' which he uses for yes too but you definately know when he means it as no!
Anyway off to my sil's for a BBQ this afternoon.
Hope you are all well.

Hi All,

Glad you had a good hol.

We're just back form A&E - Amber fell down about 4 steps and whacked her head a cracker off the stairgate - she has huge lump the size of an egg on her forehead. just took her straight to hospital but thankfully after 2 xrays she has been give the all clear - phew! Just reminded me yet again how much I hate hospitals - still better to have than have not eh? So hot though.

Have now reached the stage where I am shuffling along needing to pee constantly and feeling as though bubba is about to fall out. I am hoping bubba decides to make an appearance early. 3 of the mummies on my July club have popped already - awaiting on the twins coming next.

Amber has now started that defiant stage - she gives us a side long look and looks away and is generally a wee madam at times Most of the time she is fab though. She adores books and we sometimes find her on the floor in her room - beside her bed - with her Little Miss books tucked into her arms fast asleep. Awwww!

She hasn't learned No yet although she shakes her head

Take care allxxx

Hey all, Lola and I are great, hope you're all having a good beginning to the summer. (when it finally comes)

So much attitude but she's such fun :-)

Hi Emily - so good to hear from you - often wondered how you are. Have you got yourself a new man yet? Still at home with your parents or your own place now? GINGEME and SAMSMAM ans PRINCESSLAMA - have all had more DCs and my 2nd is due int he next few weeks. MAJORMOO and EFFIPERRIN are pg again too - although still quite earlyish.

RUMPEL - I hope that your dd is ok now - that must have been such a scare for you all!

Anna seems to be picking new words up every day and is doing lots of two-worders (birdy gone, big car, two birdies, yogurt please etc) its really cute!

I'm having the feeling that potty training is creeping up faster than I thought...getting lots of what I think are signs of her readiness. GULP...Am a bit nervous about it in honesty...

hi all,

Hi em

Aw how cute wuzz, she sounds very clever!
Glad you enjoyed your holiday.

How scary for you rumpel, hope she's ok.

Afternoon ladies.
Lo is definately watching too much tele. Bought him a toy today. Don't know if anyone here is familiur with Nickjnr but there is a charecter on a programme called Diago. As soon as Edward saw it he shouted 'go diago go' he also snorts when he saw Peppa Pig
He also says 'bye dad dad' when dh goes to work.
Alls well here. Off to Nanny and Grandads weekend for a little break.
Hope everyone else is well.
Thinking of doing a do in October for Edwards birthday. You are all welcome to come. I live in North London. Will give details nearer the time.

Hi gingeme - Anna is fond of Peppa too lol. She laughs hysterically and says "peppa pig!" with a snort after it lol.

cute aint it?

yeah tis lol

ooo, its my 2nd Wedding Anniversary today

totally forgot until last night, so I'm doing a sneaky run to the shops today to get the card and a few gifts for DH before he gets home from work lol. Bad wife or what?

Lol no not at all.
congratulations

Thanks gingeme

wow this thread has gone quiet!

Hi All - just popped in to say hello.

My parents have been here since Friday and so good to see them - they gave me a rest looking after Amber and loved her to death! She is failry chatting away now - lots of new words. New teeth coming through so constipated again. She was out in her new pram a P+T in apple and loved it. She is 89cm tall - what about everyone else?

Got the MW tomorrow (my birthday tomorrow too - 36) am 36 wks pg now and ready to go anytime Bump has dropped realy low so am hoping it will be sooner rather than later.

Must go waken DD - take care all.

Just a quick hello from me aswell, cant come on here much, I've broken my laptop so using dp's(when he lets me,lol!)

Will have a proper catch up soon.

I was trying to measure kai yesterday rumpel, but he wouldnt keep still, think he was 83cm!

hope everyone is well,

xxx

Samantha is 83cm!
She is so much hard work at the minute. We are having real trouble putting her to bed. As soon as it is bedtime and we ask her to say goodnight she starts screaming and working herself up so she is sweaty and just inconsolable. Today we have moved her cot in to the playroom to see if it is the bedroom she is scared of? I have also moved Sophie in to the nursery, I wanted to keep her with me until 6 months but she is only the other side of the wall. It may be that Sam has realised that Sophie is staying in our room...... very frustrating!

Hope everyone else is ok x

Happy Birthday RUMPEL!!

ooo, I'll have to measure Anna's height later and see how tall she is too.

Samsmam, hope that bedtime gets easier for you.

Alls well here. I can't believe that our LOs are almost 2 years old!!!!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUMPEL! XXX

Kai is playing up at bedtime aswell samsmam,

He has a dummy at night, & recently he just keeps throwing it out the cot so we go up there to give it back. Then when we go in there he's standing up laughing!

The last 2 nights we have put him to bed without his dummy, & its been gone 10pm both nights before he's fallen asleep!

How did she sleep in the playroom samsmam?

Hi all,

Ta for the birthday messages. Just back form MW and baby is back to back - ARGGG!!!!!! That's what happened with Amber and why my labour was so pianful and long and awful - [scared emoticon] Need to start sitting on my gym ball more and crawling along on hands and knees - which I do anyway with DD! Still head is down and not moveable (according to MW) so fingers x it's soon - labour vibes this way please girlies!

BABYDUCKY - maybe you need to put 2 or 3 dummies in with him or think about making his cot into a bed now?

SAMSMAM - try making sure Samantha's head not facing the door - feng shui! Maybe she is feeling insecure 'cos of Sophie just now and just acting up for attention?

Mum and Dad left yesterday but Mum will be back when bubba appears

Take care allxxx
