Come talk about your kids here!

Hey. Life is kicking my ass lately too. Scarlet fever for the big one (did you know kids even still get that??), and some horribly intense potty training issues plus The Cold That’s Ruining Life for the little one.

And the ILs are visiting, so H is being a brat and they generally suck at parenting and grandparenting anyway. Woo.

E did so great with Thanksgiving yesterday. Ate well, had fun. I got a video of her singing twinkle twinkle little star with her almost 4 year old cousin. The downside- E needs eyeglasses. We are hopefully getting her fitted tomorrow. I was initially disappointed somehow but this is going to be so much better for her, help strengthen hear weaker eye. I am worried/stressed about dealing with glasses because of course she hates anything on her face.

Hey ladies!
Things are tiring over here but good. N had his first real stomach bug. Took him a week to start eating food like he normally does and a molar is coming in so it was a rough week. Poor kid with the puke and tummy troubles. Luckily he recovered in time for TG dinner! He ate loads of ham, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, and stuffing.

Funny story: he hits sometimes when he’s mad we don’t do as he says. A week or so ago I was like N! That hurts mommy and I pretended to cry. Since then, when he hits me, he immediately then hugs me and lays his head on my shoulder. Like bam! But then I love you mommy. It makes me laugh but I’m like ahhh no kid!! That’s not how it works!!

Another story: he got so mad he hit his head on one of the kitchen cabinets. So then he grabs his face and goes OWWW! Ok kid. I console him. Now he learned that if he’s being bad, or mad, he hit his head against it very lightly and then goes OWWWW and holds his head in his hand. But I know he didn’t actually get hurt so I don’t rush to him so he just peeks through his fingers and goes ugh! And does it again until I tell him he’s fine and to stop LOL. he is a character.
