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

hi all,hope you all ok,amazing that the little ones are almost 2 babyducky i live in Worthing,used to live in Shoreham,we can meet if you fancy as we will be pretty close.

Hi ladies. Scary isn;t it ? I was sorting some photos out the other day and found some of one of the meet ups. I think our lo's must have been about 7 months old. Where has the time gone?
Wow your brave babyducky potty training already. We were thinking of trying after Christmas but I think even thats a bit early.
Edwards nw word is nernie as in Underground Ernie . I thought he was saying Nanny at first but when ds had it on the pc he said it over and over. He is still so good with his little brother too. Realy helps with him and even tries to feed him.
Samsam how are you doing?
Rumple?
Effieperrin?
Anyone?

Yeah that'll be good totallyfloaty,
Do you have any recommendations of anything good to do around brighton & hove?

Gingeme, yeah i think its early aswell, we are not properly potty training, just getting him used to being on the potty & getting trousers up and down, hand washing etc, he seems to understand it all so we thought why not slowly start.

He's completely aware of when he's done a wee or poo, he's really funny, he's just started to realise when he's farted, he looks behind him & says 'yuck yuck'

Aw edward sounds so lovely, I cant imagine kai being good with a brother or sister. How cute.

Its so quiet on here lately!

Hi all.
Signed Edward up for our local playgroup/nursery. Due to start in November. Its the same one ds3 went to. Hope he likes it
Hes saying lots and lots now. Seems to learn a new word every day now. He's been disturbed the past couple of nights and is dribbling as much as George now Oh hurry up molars!!
How are you all and your little or not so little ones ?

Evening all,

Exciting stuff BABYDUCKY - wedding preps. Amber is a minger - she would go around in a filthy nappy all day Calvin goes mad if his nappy is dirty - he hates it! She is obsessed with washing her hands though and loves to clean around the house with a cloth Loads more words here too.

GINGEME - Calvin starts in January - same one as Amber - a Wednesday too - so I will get a whole day to myself

I have managed to lose 4lb in the past week - I have been rubbish yesterday and today though. Had too many glasses of red last night - DH and I sat up chatting and watching tv - as kids were quiet and in bed so hardly any sleep and too much wine = wanting sugary things. Oh dear! Still going to get back to belldancing this week.

Calvin is much better now he is on meds for his reflux but he still wants fed every 2-3 hours in thw night and from 3/4 - 6 he is really windy and noisy Went to baby group today - was first aid and resuc for babies/toddlies 2 of my neighbours were there so I am hoping we can become friends so at leastwe have some here

Amber is loving her dancing - I got her a dance mat for her bday on sat. I had an afternoon out on my own and went to a complementary health show - was abit pants TBH then Asda for shopping - so got some bits and bobs for her bday and their Xmass.

Well must go am off to bed soon as sooo tired!

Hope you are all well - wonder who will pop in to say hi when it is October?

EFFIPERRINE/MAJORMOO/PRINCESSLAMA/ how are you all?

hello wobblingweeble, nice name!

Its Amber's birthday sat?! Is she the oldest LO on here then? Aw, hope she has a lovely day.

Glad Calvins better.

I'm gonna start sorting out a nursery/playgroup once we've moved house.

Still not saying many words, You can tell he's really trying though!

He really likes jumping at the moment, on everything! He has just learnt to hop aswell, its really funny.

Best go as we are off to the park, been up since 5.30, its a really nice day here so might as well make the most of it!

Lucky you babyducky looks pretty cloudy here today
Yes I think Amber is one of our oldest two year olds here I second her best wishes for Saturday.

I am sooo bad at expressing myself just now - It is Ambers bday on the 4th but I bought her a dance mat on Saturday for her bday -sorry! She is one of the eldest though- think she may be the eldest left on the thread now - not sure

Oh never mind erm Rumple you have a good excuse
We usualy go to a friends Haloween party just after Edwards b'day but she is expedcting her 4th in January so she isn't having one this year so were thinking of combining birthday/halloween. What do you think? Well he was originaly due Halloween.
Goerge is cutting more teeth though he's being very good about it bar the constant dribbling and hands in his mouth.
David is just loving school. He starts having lunch at school in a couple of weeks. He's so excited about it all
Well I hope you are all well. xx

its gone cloudy here now gingeme! Was lovely early this morning though.

Yeah I thought she was one of the oldest!
Probably is the oldest left now, now everyone else has left us

Gotta go & do some packing while kai's having his nap, speak to you all soon x

sorry x posts gingeme, combined birthday/halloween party sounds great! Gotta dress them up though!

Hey good luck moving house babyducky, how exciting for you (polite word for stressful )Nice that your DP got pay rise and that you'll have a big garden!

Ginge, a bit of an upheaval but i bet you're glad your boys are back in town! Shame that the jobs didn't work out though.

Wobblingweeble - relax with the weight loss - how old is Calvin? Give yourself a break. I don't know what I weigh but my jeans are definitely too tight and I refuse to buy bigger ones so I am ditching choccy hob nobs!

Owen is getting v. chatty. He copies from a little girl at the CM who is a few months older, apparently he's like a parrot inthe background!
I too can't believe they are going to be 2!!
I wish owen's feet would stop growing he is costing a fortune in shoes atm.
He is at least saving me money by playing with dd's toys. That pink pushchair that she never touched is being put to good use! He is also quite keen on baby annabel and he was wearing a pearl necklace at CM today. Reassuringly he still loves tractors and trains!(mental note to stop putting him to bed in dd's old pink grobag).

busy weekend ahead of me, going to wales to where I used to live and visiting my sister and a few of my old friends. At least weather forecast is good

hi taffy, thanks, Yeah its v stressfull though! Ive really gotta get on with the packing but its sooooo boring.

Aw owen sounds cute, Kai's got a little pink buggy that he loves pushing around! He loves playing with my nieces dolls when we go there aswell.

What size feet is he now?

Have a nice weekend in wales.
x

Hi ladies.
Edwards feet are a size 6 and we have been hunting high and low for a pair of wellies for him. Must be a popular size as there are none to be found.
He is doing brilliant with George except trying to feed him stuff he realy shouldn't be having. A couple of choking incidents but all ok.
Ofcourse well be dressing up babyducky. I think I might get a little something to wear too
Oh Edwards latest words are 'bye bye, see you soon' trouble is he says it all the way home from wherever it was we visited
You all sound well and your lo's sound healthy.
Anyone heard from samsam or Effiperrin at all?

Gingeme-I'm here.... I have been getting depressed about my weight and there never seems to be five minutes in a day. Working and two young children is difficult. We need the money though so there is no other choice. Start my new job next month so hopefully 2 or 3 12 hours shifts will suit me better.

Buying Samantha the kitchen from early learning it does say 3+ but she is quite tall and if there are any little parts I'll take them away. She is to shopping baskets and food and pretend play at the moment. Just paid £28 for ANOTHER pair of clarkes shoes for her she is a 7F.

Got two parties haloween night is DP's dads surprise 60th then we have a 30th anniversary party both halloween dress up. Sophie can wear one of Samantha's old costume.

WW- Glad Calvin is doing better, Sam's birthday is 7th so our two are quite close. Amber still oldest though!

Sunshine is lovely. Hope it holds. Have a great weekend.

Hi samsam good luck with the new job. Hope it works out a bit easier for you.

Yes Edward will be wearing Davids costume from last year and George will be wearing Edwards. Goos this recycling clothes lark isn't it?
Sam are you still interested in coming to Edwards party? Its on Saturday 25th. I think you have my email?
Anyway off to Mattalan now.
Have a good day all.
Sunny here too today. Lovely

Don't think I have your email logged anywhere
I will come along if DP is off is that ok if he comes too? It's easier if there are two of us!!
Will check his rota....

Ofcourse he can. More the merrier.
My email is [email protected].
The girls will need to wear halloween fancy dress though

Hi All,

Hope you had a nice wkend in Wales TAFFY.
Amber's latest words are seagull, table, wee boy (form me calling Calvin that). She is obsessed with spiders and 'beasties' at the moment but keep swaking up ion the night with nightnares! Took her for her second hair cut yesterday - poor soul has really fine hair like her Daddy. Luckily she has thick dark eyelashes though (she is going to be mousy brown when older methinks!)She ius size 7G feet and I got her ladbird wellies out of woolies for going to see my parents on the farm - £8.00 and she loves them - wants them on all the time! I bought her 8 pairs of shoes in the Clark's July sales sizes 6.5, 7, 7.5 and 8 to do her for a while - MUm bought her some too and we saved £111 pound in total! January sales next

Calvin's new hair is coming in - wee peachy head - it is lighter and more strawberry blonde. He is such a wee pet - very very sensitive child.

SAMSMAM - I got Amber the kitchen set out of Woolies for Xmas and bought her a dance mat for her bday. Although she had a nanny at dance class last Tuesday and wouldn't go in! Really unlike her - hope she is okay this week.

I went back to bellydancing on Thursday - was fantastic - so enjoyed it. Am starting tap classes tomorrow night (used to do it as a child and in my early twenties) and have lost almost half a stone (1lb off) but my AF caME BACK AFTRE A WEEK AND IS REALLY HEAVY AGAIN SO BLOATED AND NEEDING SUGARY THINGS!!

Sorry - hit the caps button with errant finger! SAMSMAM - know how you feel re weight - I am Mrs Blobby. The bit I hate the most is the fat back!! Bleurgh! Still I'l get there and so will you

Well must go and spend at least some time with DH.

Take care all
xxxx

Gawd shoes are an expense aren't they. Cunning of you to buy them all inthe sale weeble! Owens a size 6 - I too can't find wellies in that size ginge!
Re haircuts - owen had his 2nd one last week, the nice patient lady did it while he rolled around all over the sofa looking at a photo of her dd! At least he can see again now! Calvin's hair sounds so nice. I miss that lovely soft baby hair - aww.

Weekend in wales was ok. I saw my sis and my friend with her 3 month old ds (for the first time) so that was good. Disaster struck at bathtime in my sister's house though as dd starting pulling the bath screen. It was not made to move inwards and before we could stop her she pulled it too far and we are not sure what happened but the shower screen kind of explodedGlass everywhere. Two screaming kids. I plucked owen out and sis plucked dd out and we started showering bits of glass off them which they did not like - owen especially as he HATES having his hair washed. Luckily it was safety glass and they came out of it fairly unscathed, just a few little scratches on their backs and legs - phew - I did glug lots of wine after they had gone to bed - eek, poor owen has had a traumatic life so far.

Meanwhile, dh was policing the labour party conference in manchester - he says he's never seen so many men in suits falling out of hotels at 6am

Off to blackpool this weekend - dd never been before. Oh my social life is relentless

Taffy. I bet that was very scary. Thanks goodness no one was hurt too badly.
Got some wellies off Ebay eventualy. They are lovely with Tigger on them
Edward is turning into a terrible two by the day He certainly has his moments I can teel you. At the moment he drinks from ds5's cup when he thinks were not looking and his latest thing is to get every toy out of his toy box and just leave them . The worst and most surprising was yesterday when he bit ds5's finger. We were all shocked as he's usualy so lovely to him.
He has got his lovely side though. He can be quite helpful to but I think he gets that from ds4 who helps me tidy up and puts things in the bin or sink for me.
ds5 is doing brill. He just wants to be up all the time. Hates being still. Slept through for the first time ever last night. Everything crossed its a first of many.
ds3 is realy enjoying reception. He starts having lunch at school next week then the week after he's full time.
