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

Poor wee Amber is very poorly today - lots more spots - I gave her a cool bath with milk and 2 drops of lavneder then massaged her with calomine lotion. She has been palying up today though - tried to hit Calvin tonight - so not like her She is such a Daddys girl - still never says Mummy .

MW said that Calvin should have my immunity for 4 weeks so fingers crossed he might just escape it. He has been really sleepy today so dreading tonight!! Probably up all night feeding him.

Will try to add pics at weekend.

congratulations Rumpel!! DD (4) had chicken pox and gave it to Ewan when he was 6 months old. He didnt get it too badly but she was terrible as she is a bit of a drama queen. We used calamine aqueous cream, piriton for the itching and gave her baths in water with bicarbonate of soda. We couldnt give Ewan piriton as it was over 1's only but he didnt really need it anyway. Hopefully your lo will be ok but you wont know for a couple of weeks anyway.

Ewan has formed an addiction for Dumbo at the moment and we have watched it about a million times in the last couple of weeks. He cried the first time he saw it (when Dumbo went to visit his mummy when she was locked up and had to leave without her), but he knows now that Dumbo gets his mummy back at the end so he hasnt been too traumatised by it.

Have added some photos to profile if you are interestedxxxx

he is gorgous Rumple ,well done
When my dds had chick pox i used homeopathy,spots cleared up within a week

what did you use totally? Been giving her lavender oil baths and calamine lotion rubs witrh calendula cream on spots for good measure.

cant remember as homeopath prescribed,but its a common one for itching and i know i have seen it at boots

See I go off and have a life and Rumple has her baby Why didn't anyone come and tell me?
Rumple you clever clever girl you. He is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo ooo cute . Oh I feel all gooey now. Almost crying I am. Fabulous. A ginger too yeeeha !!
My big boys are here still. Go home next Saturday.
Its been busy busy busy in my household I can tell you.
Edward is brilliant.George is on the move. David is reading ,writing and chatting away. Can't wait for the summer hols to end so he can go to 'big school'
Dh and I are on a diet as he has been told he has high cholestarol so weve chucked all thr crap and have started to eat realy healthily. Doing well so far but struggling a bit as I'm on at the mo and we have no choccy in the house
Well I'll pop back tommorrow. Have updated my profile pics.
Oh Rumple I'm so happy for you XXXXX

Congratulations Rumpel!!! Calvin - what a great name, he is gorgeous. What horrible timing with the chicken pox, I hope Amber is on the mend.

I haven't been on this thread for a while, I check in from time to time what everyone has been up to but never seem to have enough time to write a message.

dd1 is doing brilliantly, she loves going to nursery and has usually climbed into the pram and is pointing at the door 10 minutes before we are actually ready to leave. She is very chatty, lots of words, and very affectionate. AND addicted to Dora the explorer. I think this is my favourite age so far, definitely.

We are in the middle of planning some major renovations on our house, so all my time seems to be taken up with builders and kitchens and tiles.....

Congratulations Rumpel! What a gorgeous little boy

Gladd your DS is on the mend PL, but was a scary time. DS was admitted for suspected meningitis a few months back and it was a terrifying experience (and he was older and turned out to just have a virus). Hope you are all recovering from the shock.

Rumpel - cute cute pics. [trying not to be broody] eek with the pox though, hope he escapes them.
Owen can't say mummy either. He has at least attempted it lately though and calls me googie, but he also calls monkeys googie so thats not too good. He can say chocolate and daddy perfectly though!!

PL - scary scary stuff. Glad everything turned out ok. Hope you have a good holiday to get over the stress.

Thought we were going to end up in A+E again the other day, as was visiting my mum and she has a horse and it trod on dd's foot and she was only wearing crocs. Well the noise she made got us v.worried and purple bruising and grazed ankle, but 10 minutes later she was leaping round pointing at cows. My mum gave her frozen peas to put on it and she went and gave them to Owen on the way home, which i wasn't impressed with (re peas up the nose incident, closely followed by a sweetcorn up the nose incident), luckily he refrained from stuffing them up his nose this time but dd scattered them all over the car - nice

congratulations rumpel. hope you are feeling ok

how scary PL-hope everything has settled down for you now

taffy1 Edward has only just started saying Mummy in fact George says it more than him

Hi All,

Well finally we have a reason for Calvin being horrendousfor the past 3 weeks - poor wee soul has chickenpox!! He must have caught it when he was straight out the womb. He developed spots on his cheeks yesterday - thought it was milk spots but today he has the blistery spots over the rest of him. Feeling really bad for him - I just thought he was nightmare baby!! Had to give up bf too as he wouldnt suck latch etc and I have only been getting 1-2 hours sleep a night for the past 3 weeks so I was too tired and my milk was drying up. Smothered him in calomine tonight after a lavender milk bath and put scratchy mitts on. Fingers x we get a decent sleep tonight.

EFFIPERRINE - how are you keeping?

MAJORMOO - you too - how are you?

SAMSMAM - where are you are you alright?

Take care allxxxx

Ooh poor babby. Fingers X hes not too fretfull with it all. Oh I just hate the first few weeks of utter exhaustion. Keep eating well and drink plenty of wine water.
My big boys went home today. Its nice to have some peace again. My little ones will miss them though especialy Edward. Every time our buzzer rings he runs to it and says 'onnor?',ds2's name is Connor.
He is so good with George ho is now combat crawling everywhere . He kisses him all the time and will offer him a toy if he is crying. It is so sweet
Well I hope everyone else is fine xxx

Hi All,

GINGEME - Dh ordered a mixed box of Wolfblass and Montes Alpha form Tesco - managing to work my way thorugh the whites at the mo' . Sorry your big boys are gone - weather is pants here too rain rain rain - although it suits me fine - I like walking in the rain - very soothing.

Still only 1 -2 hours sleep here - don't know what is up with Amber at the mo' she keeps waking up scvreaming at 2am!! if it is not one it is the other at the moment. Don't know how you do it GINGEME. Calvins spots are out so I am hoping he will settle down a bit now (4 hours in a row would be great at night instead of 2!). Feel about 150 just now and so fat!! Wenmt a power wlak with the pram today then I took Amber out when I got home - too slow walking with Amber and the pram. Also been doing some light weights for upper arm bingo wing syndrome Have lost 17lbs but still 3 stone to go You just want sweet thing shwne you are knackered though!!

Hope you are all well and enjoying lifexxxx

Rumple stop bloody dieting and rest woman !! What you playing at? Youv'e just had a baby. Give yourself a break (Gingeme wagging finger in Rumples general direction)

hee hee gingeme,

Hows everyone doing?
Havent been able to come on here much as my laptop broken, it needs a new hard drive, waiting for it to be fixed, have to use dp's till then.

lovely pics rumpel, he's a cutie.

Kai's still being naughty at bedtime, have the odd good night with him, but mostly its a real struggle getting him to sleep, he is sitting on sofa with dp now, he went to bed at 730 as usual & was just crying & screaming, i finally gave in & let him come back downstairs about 10 mins ago, that will prob make it worse but dunno what else to do, he's all sweaty & snotty & has got himself in such a state! Argh!

He is getting sooooo cheeky aswell but in a way its getting easier now coz he understands more, if he's being naughty we tell him he wont be allowed to watch mickey mouse anymore & he soon stops, hee hee!

His eating is back to normal now, so thats good, its just bed times Im getting a bit stressed with!

I've tried on some more wedding dresses, i THINK I've found one

OOOOhhh BABYDUCKY - tell us what it is like. Amber is a wee horror at times too - into everything and pointing her finger and shouting as though she is chastising you and saying bad girl - she is also fixated with Daddys willy in the bath - must be the way it bobs in the water and Calvins boy bits - then she points to hers. Most of the time she is great though - I am just a bit short tempered just now as I am so tired - I am a strict Mummy though.

GINGEME - I know I know but I just cannot stand the look of myself just now - porridge lardy arse!!

xxxxx

Um its hard to explain, will try put a link to a pic, i am not v good with things like that though!

Kai is getting a bit obsessed with willies!

He is forever playing with his & whenever dp goes to the toilet he follows him in there & stands staring at it & trying to grab it!

Its quite funny, I used to do the same thing to my dad!

x

Edward is fascinated when his big brother has a wee. He almost gapes in wonder. Not gonna start potty training him for a while yet though

hee hee gingeme, its so funny.

this is the dress
