Not milk but they each have a sippy of watered down juice all night. Matthew used to empty his and ask for more. Now he doesn't, thank god. Jack only wants it right before he goes to sleep. Then he slams it in my face and say "you put this on the table" You brush their teeth after they drink that, right? They brush before bed but Matthew has his cup all night. He drinks on it less now than he used to but still a few times during the night. And we brush in the morning.

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. We still gave Dude a sippy of milk during our bedtime routine until he was almost 2. On that note, I feel totally lost as to how to transition X off of bottles. He's a good eater but I can't really remember how we went about this with Dude. I just did this transition... he wasn't too attached to the bottles b/c I breastfed, but he still had them whenever we weren't together. I started giving him milk to play around with during meals and snacks. Then I substituted 1 bottle with a sippy of milk during the day care days. Now he still breastfeeds 2-3 times a day when we're together, but he has no pumped milk or formula when we are apart. Since I only ever gave him milk in a sippy, not a bottle, he doesn't expect the bottle. I was nervous about it, but it went fairly easy. He's been fully off bottles for about 2 weeks now.

So Ryland has been in This phase where he sneaks into our room/bathroom and steals stuff for his room. Toothpaste, deodorant, hairbrushes etc. whatever, it's annoying but kind of funny. Until I walked in on his "nap" and he had taken two things of hair product, my belly lotion, and a tube of toothpaste... and opened them all and emptied them into the carpet! I'm livid, I scrubbed the carpet and hope it all comes out since the saw on this house closes in two weeks. And I'm mildly worried about if he ate any of it. I assume not because gross, and I smelled his breath, but I'm keeping an eye on him. And I can't have wine. Send ice cream.

FFWC: We use paper plates even when not packing.... My parents do because they don't have a dish washer and hate washing dishes. I can't wait to use real plates again. We use real plates and have a dishwasher, some nights it's just easier to use paper. Depends on what we're having to eat. Lunches are usually on paper because I'm not dealing with dishes in the middle of a Saturday.

xolastunicornxo Oh my! I 2nd kamakaziartist, even if you have to rent a cleaner to get it all up. You're such a better mom than me, I wouldn't even THINK about my kid eating it, just the mess I had to clean up!

If anyone is looking for name inspiration I came across the sib-set Adonis and Apollo. Oh my. And by that, I assume you mean "oh my, I wish I'd had 2 boys so I could have used those names", amirite?

So class transitions started Monday for the week, they move the kids to their new rooms gradually. Cadence was out Monday, but went back yesterday. She peed her pants and had to change into spares. Today, it appears the same thing happened because she is wearing leggings under her dress and before she was wearing shorts. I'm wondering if she is stressed out over these new kids coming in and her friends going out. She hasn't had an accident in ages. I asked her yesterday and she said she didn't know why she peed her pants. I guess I need to talk to her teacher to see what's going on when it happens.

Excuse me, I must correct myself, Astroid and Apollo. It makes so much more sense now.

That reminded me there was a kid at Dude's DC named Apollo.
They must have switched schools. I'd forgotten all about him.

If we paper-played everything someone ate, we'd go through hundreds a week and go through more garbage bags than I choose to think about. They have their place, but every meal wouldn't work for us.

I've implemented a new rule of no tv until 7pm, then just 45 minutes until bath time. Send T&P's, I don't see this going well 😐

Cher yikes, scary. My SM had a SCAD last year which is actually most common for post partum and is pretty scary. Hope your cardiologist gets some answers for you. ETA: hoping that's not it, but something to be on the lookout for. Sorry I'm not making sense this morning.. I started googling this and then I thought I responded but I'm not sure. So if I'm repeating myself, just ignore me. I wonder if they would see this during my CT scan?
