Feb '06 You know you've a 2 year old in the house when...

[EachPeachPearMum]

the TV remote is in the freezer, your car keys are down the loo, and there are little smears of food at knee height down each corridor!

It will be me that is needing to get out, not fil I wouldn't inflict him on anyone else!

Don't think we have anything planned yet. You're welcome to come visit if you like.

Thanks.
Don't turn anything down if you get a better offer. I won't know til Friday if dp is off work or not, and if he is, I will be staying in, leaving fil to entertain the children, and making dp work in the bahroom

Well, I'm supposed to be meeting my friend's French granny on Monady!

I have absolutely nothing to do tomorrow howeever .

Flame, big cuddles and lots of lemsip for you sweetie Had dh been working thwweekend I'd have prob come and pestered you. But I've promised ds1 I'll take him to see Spderwick Chronicles on Sat morniing, leaving ds2 at home. And I dont fancy my chances of a train on Easter Sunday, and esp cant be botherered to travel that far with them both Bries isnt going to help your crash diet you know!

Well done phonenix!

So, the pc is narrowed down to 2 faults. Went to change a bit last night; bit missing of the 'new' one that dh liberated from work.So we still cant tell if that really is the part at fault or not, and will have to but a new part to find out Then pc turned on 1st time again this morninig. I hate all the not knowing!

Missed 2 days of aerobics due to falling as leep as soon as dh got in from work.

My parents are visiting tomorrow, fil will probably be here, and I'm going out in the evening I can't remember the las time I had so many things booked for he same day.

I have nothing to do tomorrow either But also no petrol or train money

I don;t know if you remember me saying last summer about my old boss being murdered? His killer got sentenced to life today, serving a minimum of 18 years. All because he refused to serve him once

We've got nothing at all planned for the whole of easter. I've only just bought easter eggs today, there wasn't much choice.

for your bosses murderer getting locked up Flame

Hope everyone's ok

Am I a horrible mummy for not getting any easter eggs in?????

I need to buy 2 small ones tomorrow - they don't normally get anything from us, but as I don't know when we'll see my dad, and we're not seeing PIL, we need to really

Am I being far too pfb about her not eating sweets/chocolate?

I never rarely let her have any. We don't really eat puddings at home, so she has fruit or yoghurt. She does have some at nursery, but I only allow 2 per week. She also has if we eat out (about once a week usually).

BIL & wife and others have given her chocolate as presents before now, but DH and I have scoffed it, not given it to her.

Am I too strict?

I'm only buying them because DD has spent the last week at school being told about getting soddin chcoclate eggs on sunday. if i could have gotten away with her not knowing, I would have left it.

Family tend to ignore my requests and give things direct, so no chance of parental scoffing control

I haven't bought them for Lewis they're for 2 neices, 2 nephews and godson.

I've got Lew an ITNG watering can with a few small choccie eggs in and an ITNG cup with small choccie eggs in. He won't be having all the chocolate from them or what family buy him. He does however have a lot more chocolate than i ever intended him having . And by that i don't mean he has loads but i started out by saying he would have none that didn't last long.

glad its not just me then.
I just don't feel the need to shove her full of sugar...especially when she eats more than enough without empty calories! She eats more than me on 4/7 days now!!!

This will be the first year that ds1 really accounts ofr all his choc, and we cant get away with eating it.
Having said that, we called an egg amnesty with all our friends, as it got stupid last year. So expensive and too much chocolate.

They have one from us each (the ones with a brekkie set and a smallish egg), a small choc buttons one from dl, and a tube of little eggs with a finger puppet on top from Mum (she sent them a fiver to choose a cake, but they wanted those, and I figured there was less food and at least a novelty in the tubes!). HHsaving said that, ds2 wont know whats supposed to be his ,and he's not fussed on choc.

We have BIG problems with ds1's behaviuor today

We don't have biscuits at home and when we went to toddlers the other day i got him 1 with his juice, he ate them and hung around the serving hatch thingy til someone saw him and he said 'bor' (his word for more) and got another biscuit. He did his little 'Oliver' routine another 3 times

How old is ds1 mrm? (HOW do I not know this by now???)

Phoenix- dd is like this...her book at nursery says how much she ate at each meal- 1/3; 1/2; all...its ALWAYS all 'plus seconds' !!!!
Whatever you give her, as soon as its almost gone, you get 'more mama!'

He doesn't really eat meals though.

Yeah well I'm sure nursery think we don't feed her at all at home .
She has a full-size bowl of porridge for breakfast with a small pear or banana chopped up in it....as soon as she gets to nursery she demands a snack! I have had to ask them in the past not to give in. She would eat all day if she could.

DS is like that - at playgroup he downs all his fruit and then finishes off what any other child doesn't want

What did he do MRM?

The dds are getting a Dr Who egg each, and ds gets an Iggle Piggle doll from us. (The eggs have a big mug with them that I really like)
I've always bean really mean with sweets and chocolate, and even now I never buy any. My dad gives them a mini bag of maltesers each when he visits (one a fortnight) and they get given sweets at school for other childrens birthdays. Their only other source of sweets is party bags, and I tend to bin most of the contents of them before they get a look
DD2 won the Easter garden comp at school and came home with a huge Galaxy egg today, too.

I do bake cakes though. they aren't totally deprived of sugar.

DD1 thought rice cakes were a treat until she was over two, then progressed toplain bread rolls. It was a looooong time before she was given sweets a all, so I have relaxed a bit over the years.

What has ds1 been up to (dare I ask)mrm?

Oh, csws, dp has an enforced day off on Monday, so I can't come visiting I'll definitely come in the hols (another week away for us) if tha is ok??

Yeah ds would do that with fruit too. He'd eat grapes and blueberries forever if i let him

Just remembered too at soft play on Monday he disappeared onto an inflateable slide and was quiet for ages so i went to investigate and he was sat eating Jelly Tots from a bag he'd found.

Dd doesn't get much chocolate from me (it's not something I eat much of, so doesn't even occur to me), but I think she's eaten her body weight in it the last week or so, as every group seems to have given some out, as well as her cm.

She does eat too many biscuits (IMO) at toddler groups though, because we go to so many of them. She does sometimes choose breadsticks over biscuits, but would never choose fresh fruit, since she doesn't eat the stuff.

EPPM - mrm's ds1 is 4 yrs, 4 months and 2 days .

That is a tad freaky CSWS! How do you know that??
