January 2009- toddlers turning 15mths and all that jazz (really just a new thread so DOG can fit it on her poncey iphone!)

[PatTheHammer]

Good enough for ya dog .

And sorry I do realise some are only turning 14 mths and some are nearly 16mths etc,etc......apologies!

All officially toddlers now though i think (well 120's H and HKZ's J are pulling up/taking steps now I think, think mostly everyone walking of some sort!) Scary thought!

missjackson lol that the pheasant might brush up against you... that would irk me too. My space is under the deck... DD throws something under there I'm totally freaked out about going under there to get it as a big ol' spider I'm sure is just waiting to get in my hair!

My Dad does shooting and regularly hands me a brace of pheasants. Has cured any squeamishness I had.

What's the link to this fb group then?

Feeling suitably squiffy after half a bottle of wine with an old friend tonight

The boy has conjunctivitis and had some of his immunisations today, the poor thing.

Right off to bed x

Glad you had a lovely meal out, totally amazed how good your kids were!

My son has conjunctivitis, a cold and still grumpy from his jabs, so feeling very sorry for him and filling him full of calpol.

Any tips on administering the eye drops? I sit on him to pin his arms to side and hold his head, but he screams and screams I'm traumatising my child me thinks

My DD is just starting to do that too. Love it.

Tried to find your AIBU thread but can't

Hi all,

Just flying past to keep you all on my list.

Sorry, have only read the last couple of posts.

Dog, sorry I missed your birthday. Glad the dcs gave you the best present ever of being well behaved in public though.

Tea, sorry, I'm not on the facebook group, so can't help there.

My ds2 had to have 10 drops at a time in each eye several times a day for quite a while, but he was a bit older (2ish) when it started. We used to make sure he was holding his favourite toy (bunny) then we would put her drops in first, followed by his. It helped to tell him that bunny needed a cuddle after her drops as that distracted him as the first few drops went in. He always fought when he was tiny, but it became easier the older he got. I think everyone develops their own technique of holding them for it really. In ds's case the tighter we held him, the more he fought, so we had to get him lying down against the back of the sofa in the corner, with us blocking his escape route, iyswim. I feel for you, its horrible, but ds got used to it and is by no means permanently traumatised, so I'm sure your ds will be fine. Hope he's better soon. Dd was supposed to have her jabs yesterday, but I had to cancel as I couldn't get anyone to have the boys and they don't allow siblings at baby clinic because of infection risk with the newborns.

Right, must be off. I have ANOTHER birthday cake to bake. Phew! I'll be glad when this weekend is over.

Will help with fb tomorrow tea if noone else done before.

There in May Dog, happy birthday, hope yours all slept in after late night.

Back tom, yay, have done enough exoctic for a while.

dog we need link to your AIBU thread please?!?

lenni welcome back

trying to eat my dinner before it gets cold but will try to get back later. tea I am not sure how to go about the fb thing, am hoping lenni or pat will help you out! Tis a secret group so don't want to post the link.. the group itself isn't very active but then you can be friends with all of us and see pics etc... and we get to see you! Yey!

Well you could CAT me it?

I don't have CAT - but I think Lenni does.

120 am making your brownies AGAIN.... yum, the smell of them cooking is almost unbearably good.... I can almost do the recipe off by heart now.

dog am feeling lots better, thanks... still a bit 'flat' if you know what I mean. A good friend had the exact same due date, so that is a bit difficult... today my sis went to visit her and said she was looking pregnant... so a little bit hard thinking where I might be if things had worked out... but no point thinking that way if it was never meant to be. We are going to try again straight away and if it doesn't work out this time, we will wait for a year.

Awww Miss J sending you a huge huge hug x

Dog lol at the chatter of DS and you translating it! I completely understood it after I read what he was saying. lol. DD is chatty but today I watched her have a conversation with Upsey Daisy. She was reading a book, chatting, pointing and then she'd look over at Upsy Daisy and say something and laugh and do it all over again. Hilarious.

MissJ You are doing the best thing possible; being positive.

Tea Here's the link to our FB group: www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=41204527891
Its private so you will have to ask to join and I think Soccerette looks after that.

Speaking of the FB group, I was the last one to post pictures, back in October! Gasp! Where are all the pictures of the little ones!

We picked up our brand new car yesterday! It is so lovely. 2010 Toyota Corolla... we are driving an 88! It feels very interesting to be settling down.

Go for my CT Scan Friday morning. Cross your fingers for me ladies that my problems are only pseudo-something or other. A swollen optic nerve can actually be normal for some people.

www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=41204527891

I can't find that group using that link. Maybe as its private its invisible?

I tried a variety of ways to find it and failed.

Sorry tea, yes, it's set to only appear to members. Basically you just need someone to cat you their email address, then you can search for them on fb, add them as a friend, and then they can invite you to the group [phew].... so please can someone with CAT and fb send tea their email...?

chef there are no new photos on the group because we are all friends, so get to see all the photos on our profile pages - but for some reason it won't let us add you as a friend - you need to look at your settings I think.

Have to move to the farm this weekend and do all the cooking, so I may be absent.... wish me luck

sorry, quick catch up..........

tea, I will CAT you my email and you can add me as a friend and then I can invite you to join.

I will pop by later when kids in bed to do this!

morning

dh off today we r spending time with dd2 as dd1 not back till bedtime from nanas

miss j - good luck

Dog lol at boot not opening all the time... hopefully it doesn't just arbitrarily open while driving. My friend had a car that the hood didn't quite latch down, but she didn't know till we got on the highway one day and the bloody thing swung up. It was frightening but hilarious at the same time.

MissJ I have my setting set to complete privacy so only my friends can see my profile. I have a few of you as friends but I'll go through and do a mass friend request so I can see all the little Bubs.

Tink Hope you had a lovely day with DD2 and DH. It so special for the second, (and third and fourth..) to have mom and dad time alone.

What the heck is CAT anyhow?
I'm waiting for DD to wake up from nap so we can go for lunch and do something. Funny how they sleep and sleep and sleep when you want to go do something frivolous, but are mini sleepers when you have work to do?

OK! I've requested to be FB friends with those I wasn't before but 'JKJ' (which I don't know who it is ) because, I'm thinking, your settings are set like mine. I just had to set super privacy settings because I get some pretty crazy requests and just seem to attract weirdos. Vi is up! Yeah. Ciao for now!
