My kids suck. Z was up for 2 hours in the motn and O also got up at one point then cried when I wouldn't sleep in his bed. He ended up in my bed because I needed to hear Z, which is harder from his room. Anyway, I'm so sick of Z's sleep and it's doubly hard with MH out of town.
I can't wAit until my MIL gets here on Friday. She is staying 4 weeks and we plan on setting up Z's full sized bed and getting rid of her crib. Then mil can sleep with her. Yes! Let her deal with her wakeups so I can get a break.

snoopmommymom, I'm sorry Have you tried any sleep training with her? Yes we've tried everything. She is stronger than us. Also she's getting a lot of teeth right now so I'm hoping that once we are past that she'll do better. Since sleep training didn't work we are switching her bed.

We are having a cookout at work tomorrow so I am going with a coworker to BJs later to shop. We scheduled it right before lunch so we can go out. I can't wait. I am covering Probation reception this afternoon and its going to be super busy but hopefully it makes the time fly by.
We had a great time at the animal show thing at the library last night. We actually ran into my cousins wife and kid who live in MA but happened to be meeting someone there. Their son is 1 yr younger than C and idolizes him so they had a great time. Playground and ice cream after led to a 9pm bedtime and a cranky C this morning. He threw a fit at school because he forgot his fidget spinner and I didn't have time to go home to get it. Luckily one of the teachers had one and he let C play with it. I'm exhausted from the day already and its only 8am!
Oh and super wet pullup tonight. But he did get up to poop in the toilet so that's a victory.

Lots of commiseration and caffeine to you, @snoop. I'm sorry sleep has been so difficult, hopefully the larger bed will help.

I'm on a mission to get Charlie to drink some kind of milk-- all plant or mixed with cows. I am convinced it's part of the reason he doesn't sleep as well he could. He only drinks water during the day, and eats well at most meals, but on the days he's fussier at the table, his sleep isn't great. I think some kind of milk would help supplement those calories and it'd be nice to have some kind of calories on the go when we're out.

Morning, all! I got a pop-up notification that tgrimes started a Tuesday thread, so I posted on it. Wrong bmb. Oops. Tapatalk is weird. I'm supposed to be teaching a class this fall for my employer, but it's not listed anywhere, and I suspect it's been cancelled. My boss hasn't gotten back to me which has me thinking he's been laid off. So I'm going to drop in this morning and try to sort out what's going on. But yes, that should tell you everything you need to know about how volatile working conditions are at the moment. Enrollment was already horrible, and last I heard, it's half of what it was last year.

He has, but didn't like it. I'm going to keep trying. I've tried smoothies and a version of Carnation Instant Breakfast, and no go (i'm kind of glad about the latter because it does have a great deal of sugar in it). He really liked whole milk in the spring when we were trying it, but he's got some kind of milk intolerance and it hurt his stomach terribly. I might run out this morning and buy one of lactose-free milks like Lactaid.

guster What about ovaltine? You could start with a lot and slowly cut back on the amount you add. That's how my sister got her kids to drink out of a sippy cup. Although, it didn't work for M.

I'm willing to give anything a try. Right now, Charlie is not a big fan of anything sweet (I know,crazy, right?). Thank you for the suggestion!

I honestly don't want to go and hope it gets rained out (20% chance), but Cadence is looking forward to it, so I guess I have to go. Having an outgoing child really sucks when you're an anti-social hermit. LOL

snoopmommymom sorry for the rough night. We had a rough night last night also. I hope things improve soon. ladystrat that's crazy that no one is communicating with you. Morning! My 12 year old niece spent the night last night. H was awful in regards to going to sleep, S had me up early so I'm tired. Def getting coffee today. This afternoon I have an eval at PT for my pelvic girdle pain/looseness.

guster I always have trouble with the milk transition. Letty is 15 months and still drinks formula because she won't drink milk. 😬 I hope you all feel better @senle... rest up! I have an Etsy gift card right now and I'm having the same problem wineallthetime!

I'm here lurking and reading from rainy Sweden. Next cabin we have wifi again, so I can be around more. The weather sucks, which is a shame, dd is teething, which is killing her already terrible sleep rhythm, but we're having fun nonetheless!

Hey peachsmama What are the classes for? I must have missed the original conversation. Does it have anything to do with the company buy out?

This afternoon I have an eval at PT for my pelvic girdle pain/looseness. My class was reassigned, so I sent my boss an email and asked if it was an oversight or intentional (I massaged the language so it wasn't confrontational like that). He said it was a computer error and he's looking into it. We'll see.
