@easilyunamused, pickles! Does he like them?? He loves them! I mostly offer a pickle when heβs not interested in eating and I need help distracting him so I can eat. Both my kids will eat pickles and drink the juice, weird.

Poor D. is so ill. She s been running a fever for 3 days now and all she wanted to do today was hang out on me. She hasnt eaten well in days either. Talked to the GP today amd am taking her in in the am for a check up. Meh it s so sad to see. Timing sucks too... tomorrow was supposed to be her last day at the baby group before moving to the bigger kids group at day care next week and she was supposed to go for a sleep over at my mums this weekend so MH and I could get some diy jobs done around the house. Now i just dont know whether tis a good plan and I really just want to keep her home. But the first available weekend for getting these things done wont be till mid november.
Sorry for just coming in to rant. I just needed to get it off my chest for a moment. Its been a rough cple weeks with shit going on at MHs work and worrying he d be without come january (tho it seems to be okay again now) and i havent slept more then 1h increments in a week and ugh. Hugs for all who needs some!

I just realized I have not checked in in over a week! J is a beast, up 3-4 times a night screaming and a bottle is the only thing to calm him. I am trying to take them away! His last two teeth are coming in and then this better stop... I leave for Portugal for a work conference tonight so I will probably go MIA again, sorry! I'm sorry it's been rough. We had a rough week a few weeks ago but j is much better now so hopefully your j will be better soon. We are also trying to remove bottles without much luck.

Sorry baby D is sick muscari. And that sleep isnβt happening either. I hope it passes quickly and you can still let her have the sleepover with your mom!

muscari ugh I feel like you and D canβt catch a break lately! Poor little one. And poor mama. No sleep is TOUGH. Iβd be inclined to let her go to your moms and you just sleep. SSDD over here. Work is so busy I always say Iβm going to catch up and update when at work bc when at home itβs go go go with N. And then work is just busy and exhausting lately. I have a play date/mom friend date tomorrow! Met her at one of the classes at our neighborhood club last week and weβre going to hang out tomorrow at the childrenβs library. Iβm hopeful we have enough in common to be friends. Iβm terrible at small talk lately and donβt have time to watch any tv shows so Iβm rarely up to date on anything in pop culture. Internet friends are so much easier π

addymac Good luck! It's so hard to make mom friends. I'm bummed bc some moms in ds1 preschool are scheduling playdates and they are all in the morning even though some of the moms work. I don't want to propose an evening one bc that's family time and I don't want to offend the mom who proposed the morning ones.

How did Dβs appt go today muscari? Thanks for asking! She has an upper respiratory infection or what's it called in English - luckily her lungs sounded clear which was a relief as she has been coughing so much mucus since last night it had me worried. Still running a high fever also. Another relief was no earinfection but her ear pain comes from underpressure behind the eardrum due to the infection or something. So we will keep an eye on it. I soooo hope she feels better soon cause seeing her so poorly and doesn't want to eat or play etc breaks my heart I kept her home from dc today which was a good decision. We lounged on the couch this afternoon watching the new season of Chesapeake Shores! Also cancelled the sleepover, all D wants atm is her mommy so her mommy she gets. Netflix will be my friend this weekend.

addymac how did the play date go? muscari I'm sorry D cant catch a break. I hope she feels better soon. So this nao transition is a nightmare. Last night he went to bed at 730 then was up from 330 to 5 then slept 5 until 740. Took 1 one hour nap 12 to 1 and was dying for bed at 7 tonight. I hate one nap.

Are you sure he is ready to transition? There are some kids who stick with 2 till even like 18 months.

We keep trying to put him down for a second nap and he screams, cries, and yells my name until we get him. We've left him in there for up to 30 minutes and he wont yo down. I'd much rather he stick with 2 naps until after Christmas but hes not having it.

I mean I think itβs going to take some time to adjust. Itβs not going to be a magical transition for him. Sleep changes never are, not even for adults.

Play date was okay. The kids get along fine, that was fine. But sheβs ... idk. Sheβs nice but it was so hard to get her to keep making conversation. Like she would give short answers where Iβd have to keep asking to keep the convo going. She didnβt ask me single question about me. Like how do you make starter friends if you donβt ask basic questions like oh where are you from? Idk. π€·π»ββοΈ Iβll keep trying bc I need friends. We did talk to another mom at the storytime and she was nice. So maybe weβll all hang out again and things will be better.

Ugh napping is currently the bane of our existence too king26. I think itβs just keeping at the same schedule and praying it clicks for them. muscari, I hope Ds fever has broken! addymac, I can talk to anyone, but I loathe talking to people like that. Itβs more work than itβs worth. Hopefully the other new girl is cool!

Iβve lived in this town for a year now and have not met one single friend. Itβs not like me, but we donβt have jobs to connect to people or classes. We signed A up for music class that starts next week, hopefully thatβll help and I think Iβll need to start going to the library more.

pennylane lol at eating cardboard. DD likes to take bites out of her board books. I bet sheβd eat a box. addymac that lady sounds awkward. I joined a moms group last February I found them by searching Facebook itβs called MOMS club and they have chapters everywhere . Itβs made a big difference for me. Itβs busy, Socializing with whoever shows up. They do stroller walking groups and play groups and mom night out things. Iβve connected with two ladies and we get together on Thursdays since it works out that we all have that day off. The kids are great together itβs sweet. Iβm in several mom groups on fb but they always get together when Iβm working or they do dinners on nights I am with N after working 12h or DH is on call and Iβm not paying my nanny overtime so I can go be awkward with other people. Sooooo Iβve barely hung out with them. The moms at the neighborhood club vary between being nice and really clique-y, same for the nannies. Like I have struggled a lot to make mom friends. And this lady made an obnoxious comment about pumping even after I talked about how I had pumped after going back to work, so it kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Iβm sure she didnβt realize how it came off, but the other mom looked awkward when the comment registered... luckily Noah took off so I didnβt have to sit there and be like uhh..... so I just ignored the comment but I also didnβt hurry back to rejoin them after intercepting Noahβs escape from the play area. π€·π»ββοΈπ

Both of my kids sleep from about 8-6 +/- a half hour depending on the day. DD sometimes takes one nap, other days itβs 2. It kind of depends how much we end up in the car. On the days DS has preschool, she sometimes falls asleep on the way to pick him up at noon and it throws the whole day off. I hope we soon get on a consistent nap schedule for my sanity. Since we are moving in 2 weeks, we have boxes of stuff randomly packed all over the house. Well, L must think cardboard is delicious bc she wonβt stop trying to chew the boxes. π€¦π»ββοΈ Omg my coworker this morning, her son just turned 1 and she said he loves to eat cardboard, too. Lol. It made me laugh and I told her she was not alone In that!

We had one of those magical unicorn days. Minimal crying, no tantrums, went down for both naps and was good at the park and in the car. If only these days happened more often than not.

addymac I have trouble making mom friends too. I work all day then when im home im with j since dh stays home with him. I'm not very outgoing so its hard. There is another teacher who has a boy 6 months younger than j so we do swim lessons together and try to get together once a month besides that. Its easier with her though because we work together and since im special ed and she's speech we have a lot of the same kids. After j was born I tried getting in to some mom groups here but there were a few for low income only and one for young mothers. Well I dont fit either and it sucked because I could have used mom friends hers while having ppa. Anyhow..what do you guys give as snacks? I have trouble with that because I want something healthy but not too filling. Right now I do fruit or cheese stick but I'd like some other offerings.

I still give puff type snacks, baked snap peas, granola bars, summer sausage, fruit leather strips. We already eat enough cheese in our meals so I hate to give him more as a snack.

E pretty much snacks allll day long. Crackers, dried fruit, fresh fruit, yogurt pouches, cereal, veggie pouches occasionally (she's super messy with these but not the yogurt ones for some reason), cheese, yogurt melts, granola bars, etc. She pretty much eats from the time she wakes up until she goes to bed. It's crazy.
