DS got bit by a kid at school this week in the face. 😬
We did Santa on a boat today. I posted a picture. He loves it all the way up to Santa. Now I just want to veg the rest of the weekend before our house is torn apart next week for repair. We moved our tree back off the wall so hopefully we will decorate it today. I also need to send out our cards.

FML. Guys, DS has climbed out of his crib 3 times. 😭😩. The first two DD was so proud of helping him by holding his feet while he climbed out, then they both appeared in my bathroom as I finished getting ready. This morning apparently he got out by himself and appeared to DH in our room while DD and I were already awake downstairs. I’m NOT ready for a toddler bed! Eff! I wanted at least another 6 months! I might have to try the mattress on the ground first.

Hopefully it buys you a bit more time.

How long has it lasted for you?

Hey everyone! Happy belated birthday to blabbermouth and your littles, sarahandben108 and ldubhawksfan! Highlights from Thanksgiving: Made amazing time driving down to Florida, arrived Monday afternoon. ILs insisted we go to half price pizza night at their favorite place for dinner - waited over an hour to be seated with an increasingly screaming, drooling/teething toddler (hello 2 year molars - we seriously went through four shirts that day, wtf). Don't ask why H didn't bring us back to the house, I still don't know. N did great on the drives, and for the most part was fine during the week, some morning teething-related tantrums aside. Loved being around FIL, BIL, and BIL's girlfriend. Resisted my MIL a lot, which she commented on endlessly all week. We ate Thanksgiving dinner out, which was fine - N only ate a veggie pouch and all the mashed potatoes I was willing to give him lol. We also went out to dinner the next night for FIL's 80th birthday, which was fun. (N thought the party hats were the best thing ever.) The drive back was a nightmare of epic proportions, 11 hours in the car each day (the entire drive should be approx. 14hrs not including stops). Thank God N doesn't seem to mind long trips. We had N's parent/teacher conference last Tuesday and he's doing really well development-wise. He'll be officially moving to the Toddler 2 room after the holidays, so he'll start visiting them now so he can get used it! His 2-year appointment is coming up on the 19th (his bday again, poor guy lol), and my parents and ILs will be arriving around then too for his bday and Christmas. Going to be another long week but at least we will be in our own home. I have NOT done any shopping for N yet, I feel so behind. Work's been crazy and I'm off for Christmas starting the 19th, so I feel like I'm cramming a full month into like two weeks.

How long has it lasted for you? I always thought that crib sides were pretty standard, but my friend's daughter is climbing out of hers. She's about the height of DD, but her crib side comes up to her armpits and DD's still comes up to her neck! Tall-sided ikea crib for the win Although DD is 55th percentile for height, so not tall anyway.

The damn front panel of the crib has an arc that would leave a gap. Mister climbed out again this morning. I guess I’m looking for twin beds now too. Fuck. Like I need to deal with that on top of my house being tore up with blowers and an unknown water leak source. Plus dh sent the kids yo watch tv I’m the guest room last night since it’s loud in the living room, and I came down to both of them in the closet with all of the presents. I’m livid. I know DD saw a few of the stocking things so now I have more work of returning and finding new things from Santa. 🤬

Oh no @idubhawks fan. I’m so sorry.
I should have mentioned, we had a gap from the bottom of the frame and mattress so my H whipped up a frame from 2x4s to elevate the mattress slightly so it would close the gap. We’ve been doing it for several months. I also have him in a sleep sack so he can’t stretch his legs as far.

So sorry @idubhawksfan. All of that just sucks!!
C can climb in and out of his crib but for some reason he just doesn’t do it at night. In the mornings he stays in his crib and just calls out until we come get him.

Hi. It’s only Wednesday and I'm toast. All I can say is that it’s a full moon, 2 weeks before Christmas, and I work with 8-9 year olds.
I really hate that we have a week less between thanksgiving and Christmas this year. There just hasn’t been enough time to get everything done.

Oh, and I can’t find one of my packages. I put it “some place safe” and now I have looked everywhere and can’t find it. Getting old sucks.

Hello and happy Friday! I have the day off work because I have to work tomorrow. We have almost nothing planned for this weekend, which is amazing. Especially since C is getting over a nasty case of bilateral pink eye. He’s been napping for almost 2 hours now which is unheard of for him.

Ours is pretty regular too, we had my staff party tonight, but it wasn't too exciting and we had to be home at a reasonable hour for my mom (babysitter). But I didn't want to plan much tomorrow just in case! I've done most of my shopping, just need something for DH who just buys himself everything he wants and my family secret Santa person, my older brother 😭 the hardest choice!

Work has been kicking my butt lately so I’m grateful it’s the weekend! The boys are sleeping at the in-laws and I’ll be going to a Christmas party tonight. I’m excited to sleep in tomorrow!

Christmas cookies today. I have three different kinds I want to make. I went grocery shopping last night and of course forgot a few things. I am currently waiting for DH to comeback with the things I need.

I’ve been up since 4am so I made some Christmas treats. C got up around 6 and climbed up onto the counter to “help” me. Well he knocked my coffee cup off the counter and it shattered. It’s a bummer because it was one that DH made me with our wedding photos. Totally my fault for not watching him closely enough but this is the 2nd coffee cup C has broken in the last week lol. Little destructor!

Little destructor! We have definitely had the carpet cleaner out a few times lately as well. Nothing broken at least. Sorry it was a special mug! Also, hope you get a nap today? We went for a hike this morning, DD actually walked up the hill for like twenty minutes on her own. Considering half the time she doesn't even want to walk from the car to the door, it was pretty awesome 😂 and we just got home from a toddler birthday party. Hopefully DD has a long nap because I want to relax and prep dinner, roasted chicken. Another weekend that went by too fast 😩

Also, I'm not baking this year. I want to, but just not sure when I'll get the time really. I bought some pre-made frozen cookies to bake at least.

I had a pretty good day! The party last night was fun and I got to sleep in for the first time in forever- too bad I couldn’t fall asleep last night but it was still nice waking up on my own. We went to a free Santa today and got some cute pictures! Ds2 didn’t smile but he didn’t cry either lol, he’s getting a cold so I say it’s a win. I also got all the Christmas cards addressed- a little late but oh well!
