Oh I was going to go ahead and AW my cute kids this week since I got a good pic of them together too 😂 so here's their very own post haha Poof teraiin that sounds scary, glad you got checked and it was nothing!! Seriously I had DS at 33 weeks and didn't go to the hospital for awhile because I thought I was being an over paranoid FTM who was having embarrassing bladder issues but nope, after it went on a little too long for my comfort levels we went in and sure enough it was my water slowly leaking. (Obviously much less concerning at 33 weeks than now, but just saying it's better to get checked than not!)

amesie, I love your hair! Is it naturally that curly or do you make it that way? Either way, I'm jealous!

All the PT ladies, my DS2 was doing great until we put shorts on him yesterday and the accidents started. I'm firm, we keep practicing taking them off, big brother shows him, trying every 30 mins but he's now had 3 accidents. I know it was never going to be accident free BUT anyone successfully combat this problem? I think it's the whole Shorts feel like a diaper security thing. We aren't doing underwear. I need to find my book! I should just buy a new one. It's worth the $13. I would have him naked again if he can't handle the shorts. I'm def no PT expert tho! A friend from my other BMB emailed me her electronic copy of Oh Crap if you want me to fwd it to you! Just PM me your email address (if you're comfortable) and I'll send it over.

marygracerich, you said G is in speech right? Dylan just had an evaluation and they think she will qualify but I wasn't sure what actually happens when they have someone come to your house. Do they just play with her and work on language skills? Not sure when she started but DD just turned 2. I'm not mary, but I have DD in speech. I had her evaluated at 20 months and she qualified just for speech. I have found that the evaluation process varies greatly depending on where you are from per our other BMB, but for me we had 3 specialists come and do the eval. One was speech, and the others were OT. They evaluated her on everything, even though my only concern was speech. It took about 2 hours total. One played with her doing specific tasks and seeing if she could follow the directions and did what she was supposed to do per her age level, while the other 2 observed and documented and scored her. A lot of the speech stuff they would ask me if she was doing. They take parent report into a lot of consideration since they know that kids get very shy when they are there. At the end they scored her and found that she qualified only for speech. I was sooo anxious for it but it was seriously NBD. I had someone come out once a week and they play us for an hour. She gives me tips on how to get her to talk and pronounciate more. I just cut back to every other week because she talks so much now and is completely caught up. I love EI so much. They helped us tremendously! Let me know if you have any other questions!

Y'alls' potty training woes are just re-affirming my idea to wait until DS is 3 to even try lol. You are wise. 3 has been the right age for us.

H is the teacher in our relationship! This year is actually the first year he is 100% admin (VP) with no teaching duties so it's going to be a change for him.

rebeccabunch, how was your PT today? DD wore panties all day and we had only one pee accident. So I'm counting it as an improvement!

Hi. I have had an insanely busy day. After G's teacher left my bff came over. We ordered panera and had MH pick it up. Then it was a trip to the zoo and then dinner. We all had a great time but I did a lot today. Between cleaning this morning, the zoo and my lack of sleep last night, I have no idea how I am still awake.

rebeccabunch, how was your PT today? DD wore panties all day and we had only one pee accident. So I'm counting it as an improvement! I was just about to check in on you! Today got better for us too! After the accidents this morning I told our nanny to hv him potty every half hour and keep practicing pulling pants down then up. No accidents during the day and tonight he's been going on his own. Sounds like we both made some progress. So good to hear your DD did good today. 🍾🍾 I'm skimming the E version of Oh Crap and this is helping me. I really should have rebought it and reread before we started. Thanks again amesie

Hi ladies! Catching up here after a crazy week, and enjoying the last days of summer break. Another teacher here. ☺ I start back Monday, and kids come back Tuesday after Labor Day. I'm not ready to give up naps! Or time with DS Sigh.
I'm pretty sure I just look extra fat still, and am hoping the bump shows up soon. I want to look back at pics from being KU with J to see when that happened.

I went to a diner with my friends for dinner. I ate a burger and fries and it was sooooo good. They tried to not give me my pickles. How do you deny a pregnant woman her pickles?!!! Lol they eventually gave them to me but I was sad for a bit.

Do they just play with her and work on language skills? Not sure when she started but DD just turned 2. I'll chime in as well. DD2 does speech therapy. Despite an extensive vocabulary I noticed at 3.25 that her words didn't sound any clearer than a year prior. She was kind of hard to understand still. Thanks timehop. She ended up qualifying for speech. Someone comes to our house once a week for 30 min, and her supervisor comes with her once a month. They started with 'auditory bombardment' basically making her listen to the sounds over and over again in different words, then she had her own list that she had to say. They'd go through the list, then play a game, read a book, do a craft, something that related to her sound that week. After each activity she'd have to listen and then say her words. She's gotten so much better, and now they're working on applying them in sentences. She absolutely loves speech and it's been a breeze. I have a feeling she'll no longer qualify when they re-evaluate at the year mark.

We tried twice (unsuccessfully) with DD around 2.5 and she was not ready. All it did was make me super frustrated and resulted with her not pooping for almost a week. 😳 Since her birthday is right after Thanksgiving, we waited until after the holidays to start again and I was determined. We went to the $ store and picked out some prizes, wrapped them up, put the sticker chart up in the bathroom and we were done in like 2 weeks. I was surprised because it stressed me the hell out just thinking about how to get her potty trained. Good luck to all those PT right now!
