enchanted good thoughts to your friend. Age: 3 Milestones: Challenges: handling his emotional meltdowns Funny/cute stories: we went to the library this week for the first time in awhile and he loved it, but we had to leave because he was running and being loud. But I loved taking him there and we can’t wait to go back and try again. 3 has so many bittersweet moments so far because I can see the fun things that are ahead for us, he’s just not always at the maturity level that they require. How are you? Same old Anything else? Cleaned my house top to bottom yesterday and it feels so rewarding. It was so much work. QOTW: What is a childhood superstition you've held onto, even though you know it's kind of silly? Can’t really think of much although I think the concept of karma is real.

Age: 1.5
Milestones: Just more words in his vocabulary. He's a chatty kid these days.
Challenges: Vegetables LOL
Funny/cute stories: He tried to climb in the fridge yesterday. He was so proud of himself when he sat on the bottom and tried to close the door LOL
How are you? Okay. Surviving. I'm so tired of being busy.
Anything else? I'm missing out on a wedding next weekend because it's kid-free and we don't have coverage. It's okay - I get it. I'm just so disappointed. I'm really close with the couple, so this one stings.
QOTW: I still won't say Bloody Mary in the mirror three times. In all my years I've never said it.

So sorry for your friend, enchanted. Also, I'm curious - how does one get a shirt on upside down? What exactly does that look like? oldbaylover1024 sorry about the wedding. That sucks. Age: 2.75 Milestones: He got his socks on by himself this morning. Does that count? Challenges: not listening. I've been listening to the audio versions of "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen" and the version for younger kids and I've been trying to implement the advice but so much of the time it just doesn't work! Funny/cute stories: Yesterday I was coughing from my cold and it made me almost vomit (yay 3rd trimester) so I was sitting on the closed toilet seat trying to focus on not throwing up. N came in and asked "Why are you not feeling better, Mommy?" I told him my tummy hurt and he said "I am not feeling better also. My tummy hurts, too." How are you? Ready for this cold to get lost. It's summer. It's been 9 days. Come on already. Anything else? I am tired and frustrated at work so I think I'm going home now to take a nap. QOTW: What is a childhood superstition you've held onto, even though you know it's kind of silly? I kiss my hand and touch it to the ceiling of the car and make a wish every time I go through a yellow light. Don't know where that came from, but I don't think it's going away any time soon!

enchanted, that so funny. oldbaylover1024, sorry about having to miss the wedding DrHooch, same superstition growing up Age: 21 months Milestones: More sentences, she said her first curse yesterday she repeated it after me.... "shit" so I just said yes you have a nice shirt on today and moved on. Challenges: eating she is super fussy about what she eats, she will eat something one week but then not the next. Funny/cute stories: She was counting to ten in spanish yesterday. I was shocked she new that. How are you? Ok, yesterday was Maggie's 2nd birthday. I can't believe it's been 2 years, I miss her so much. I stayed home with E yesterday and celebrated Maggie with her. I baked a cake, and just enjoyed my LC. It makes me so sad to think of what should be and it keeps making me send guess being one and done. Also H did not stay home, had a hockey game at night got stuck in traffic and was home later than expected. H and I were on two totally different levels with our grief. He barely wanted to acknowledge it at all, it hurt. Anything else? After the above I'm good, if you made it through that pat yourself on the back. QOTW: What is a childhood superstition you've held onto, even though you know it's kind of silly? It was illegal to turn on the lights in the car while driving.

Age: 3.5+ years
Milestones: Nothing new
Challenges: Now prefers my bed or my sleeping on his floor. I'm weak and I go along so it is my fault really.
Funny/cute stories: MY BFF is an English teacher. She came for dinner last night and a topic of conversation vaguely broached a topic of his interests (trains was mentioned) to which D stood up and said,"Speaking of which..." and launched onto some speech about trains or Thomas the Train or whatever. My friend was so impressed.
How are you? Eh. Need to get back on my diet and exercise again!
Anything else? Getting serious about remodeling a new home which is to start this fall and hopefully have us moved in by May. Pinterest has been my buddy these days.
QOTW: What is a childhood superstition you've held onto, even though you know it's kind of silly? I hold my breath as I drive past a cemetery and I say/think "step on a crack, break your mother's back" as I walk on side walks. I barely even notice I think/say either most of the time!

I'm sorry I have been MIA! I really miss you guys and this board. I wish i were more active in general. Why do things change?! enchanted I hope all goes well for your friend and sending warm vibes her way. mirabelle I am loving my 3 year old's year! He's like more fun and active but still learning new things. It's amazing. oldbaylover1024 It is hard when kids aren't included. I get both sides. Still hurts. DrHooch Hope you're feeling better! peaseblossom55 I'm so sorry. I don't know your story but I just can't imagine. ((hugs)) to you.

eliz77 - Miss seeing you around! Your LO sounds like a hoot! And I really need to get back into an exercise and diet routine again. Maybe the All AL board needs some sort of accountability thread...
