Age: almost 22mo
Milestones: working on speech
Challenges: sleep. It’s ridiculous. Hell STTN if I’m not home and dad puts him down or if the nanny does. If I’m around it’s a big ol nope. I feel like I’m drowning. My extensive sleep training research doesn’t cover “what to do when your kid sleeps for others but not you”. I even went onto my twitter and tweeted the sleep dr whose book I bought and read twice and asked for him. He was unhelpful in his tweet but he did respond 😂 my twitter friends must think I’m crazy.
Also, speech. We started speech therapy a couple weeks ago. He’s delayed enough to qualify for EI so we do once a week. It’s hard to swallow to know your kids a little behind enough to need help but I just want him to catch up. Our nanny’s like no he’s perfect. You guys are overreacting. But I know he’s delayed so I’m like tired of hearing that. She will participate fully in whatever we ask of her to work on with him that week for homework but it’s annoying. Also dh is like what’s his progress?? I’m like it’s been three weeks dude! 😣 also- last week the speech therapist recommended developmental therapy bc he has a really short attention span if it’s not a game with cars or trucks, but I’m like... he’s not even 2!
Funny/cute stories:My nanny is trying to potty train DS (21mo) and he does it really well some days, other days he’s like nope not interested. We don’t push it. Whatever. Other night I’m at work and DH told me that DS made him go to his potty four times so he could sit on it and fart LOL. he pooped in the tub the day before and was like OH NO / UHOH! so dh said during the bath he made him take him out to go to the potty... just for farts. LOL. I think he didn’t trust his farts 🤣
How are you? Some days I’m ok. Some days I feel like I’m drowning. Dh has had such a heavy schedule this past month. Lots of overnight calls where it’s just me at home after a long work day. We’ve been so busy at work with really sick kids.
***TW NICU/DEATH***
Anything else? Oh. I got my hair dyed and it sucks. I just don’t think I can shell out another $200 right now to get it fixed and it makes me so mad.
QOTW: Is your little one giving Dad a gift this weekend? Just a card.

Three babies have died at work in the last few weeks and I took care of two of them up until the night or day before they died. It sucks.
