Omg I think Blippi was discussed on here awhile ago but I had never seen it. Well, I showed it to her once (because I remembered it mentioned here) and I.Hate.It. We are watching TV right now and that's what she wanted to watch. I was so relived when about ten mis in she said "no,no" so I quickly put on sesame Street, which doesn't annoy me at all. Ahhh relief.

DS has been a bit of a shit today; nasty attitude, rolling eyes, back talk, etc. 2 can play this game, dude. He's now in his room picking up all of his toys, re-folding clothes he didn't put away like he was supposed to and organizing his closet.

@poppykisses how are you doing?? Are you settled in your new house? How are your LO's doing? ETA I could have swore she came over here, no? If she did, I missed it. I really hope she can find us! Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

CestLaVie I like the sit/stand thing. I think we mostly naturally do that here, but I do know that if I am up doing stuff and he is sitting, even if that is rare, I get irritated by it. It isn't fair though because I know there are times I am sitting and he is doing stuff. But also I'm pregnant so...excuse? Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

I have been blanking on what to get MH for his birthday tomorrow, but I finally thought of something! A lawn mower. May sound lame, but he has been dealing with this awful one for forever that barely even runs on and it is such a pain for him, but he isn't likely to get a new one without me telling him to. Hopefully he is pleased.

This is very much like our situation. I have to list everything out that needs done. It is annoying but it's the way it's always been. His mom did everything when he was growing up so he legitimately does not think to look at the floors to see if they need swept. I am also very meticulous and perhaps a little OCD, so when I see something that needs done, I need it done RIGHT THIS MINUTE. H is not programmed that way. This exactly. All of it. H was still taking his dress shirts home for his mom to iron after college. That woman ruined her boys for their wives by waiting on them hand and foot. I have to remind myself of this when J is older. He needs to learn how to do things for himself!

librarylady, we watched some Blippi yesterday for the first time...I was on Amazon Prime looking for something that had to do with garbage trucks and of course one of his episodes was that. He is pretty awful. The thing is, when he talks normally, I think he's OK, but he also goes into weirdo mode, which is so irritating. Just talk like yourself, dude.

M is doing well jedi and redandblue. Thankfully we caught the strep before it started making him feel bad. His rash is nearly gone. Sadly the antibiotic is tearing up his stomach even with a probiotic and daily yogurt. We did get pictures yesterday. I love my photographer, she works with all of my craziness. Most of the pictures were all of my family, but we also got some of just M for his 2 year pictures. I can't wait to see them! M was in a giggly mood for most of them as well. My dad got him a cake, so we got pictures of him with it. He kept sticking his fingers in the frosting and wiping them on his shirt 😂 We also got some pictures of just my nephew. It was bittersweet to say goodbye not knowing when we'll see him again. My dad took it the hardest, but I just handed him M after my nephew left and let me dad cuddle him for a while.

coconutbacon , Haiii! Glad you got through the busy time! Missed seeing you around here. How's P? Were you guys going to be attempting PT a while ago? Hi!!! P is great. We are getting her comfortable with the potty (she sits on it every morning and every night), but in her new daycare, they don't start potty-training until they're in the 2 year old room, so now we're holding off doing real training until then.

Ethan loved the music class. I was secretly hoping he'd hate it because it's expensive. But the kid turned into a social butterfly (normally clings to me). He was participating and interacting with other kids and the teacher. I've never really seen this. If I'm in the room with him on a setting like this he usually clings onto me with dear life.

redandblue, Hey! Things have slowed down for a hot minute. I've got some senioritis with my "vacation" next week. And when I say vacation I mean moving out of our house, and filling up a POD and migrating to my IL's. I told H that the first day we're there I'm making a giant pitcher of sangria. We do have some fun stuff planned with friends who are in town, so it won't be all heavy lifting and moving. 4 more days and I won't officially own a house. The person buying it keeps wanting to move up the close date. I'm not sad now, but I might be when I don't go to my own house after work each day. It's going to be so weird. The last time I moved was when I got married and moved in with H. I was so excited about that. Now I'm moving out of the house we had our dog, and brought our 2 kids home to. We made SO many memories there. I can't wait to make new memories at the new house, and not fight over the bathroom. How is your home process going?

That's what it was. I am still so impressed. I mean there's other skills being learned it seems (take turns, patience, etc). I just can't believe how social he was. At one point they brought out a triangle. And Ethan went up to it to try it. I never thought he would.

jess213 not sure if it's like this by you but the owner said we could pay monthly instead of all at once. So I think we might do it.

One of my friends is going to be 42 weeks tomorrow, oof... she's had her membranes stripped, she's walking like crazy, etc. She's at 4 cm and 70% effaced but nothing else has been happening for over a week. Induction is scheduled for 6:30 tomorrow morning!

taketheshot, damn lady. I'm glad you told him everything. MH was like that too until he started being with N alone and having to do it all. I still have to direct him for some things (and by some I mean a lot lol) hope things are better when he gets home

mamallama I'm glad to hear things are settling down a bit for you. I can't imagine having to stay at your inlaws for a whole month! GL to you guys! At least it's summer time! I totally understand the emotions. I'm sure I will feel a bit too when we move. I've lived in this house since I was 14...Um 26 years...so it will definitely be a change. But exciting! Our progress is status quo...nothing yet...waiting to hear about our first meeting with the builder. Should be soon.
