dashook I'm not sure about the biting, C never did it either. My only idea would be a firm No and then perhaps stopping playing for a little while (H is devistated when I put him down or move away from him so I feel this would be a deterrent for him). And yes to the drama tantrums. I tell H No or take something away and kid throws his head back and cries like I just destroyed his world.

Is anyone else being bitten by their baby? Like not in a breastfeeding context? I know she's teething but this really fucking hurts and isn't okay. I don't know how to deter this behavior in a 9.5 month old. DS never did this. Also, while I'm here, does anyone else's baby basically throw tantrums already? Mine is a serious drama queen. A few minutes ago I took away a piece of plastic that she was chewing on and she lost it, crying, and threw herself backwards, hitting her head against the (thankfully soft) side of the bed. WTF. Yes and yes it's so fun. |

You guys, I'm such a moron. I left my breast pump home, rationalizing that I'd be with D all weekend and could just feed on demand.
Somehow I forgot though about the wedding today (i.e., the whole reason we're here). We're leaving at 2:30 and will be home after they're in bed. There's no way I can go from 2:15 through tomorrow morning without pumping.
Off I go to BRU to find a manual pump 😫

We've got 2 more days of vacation plus travel Tuesday into Wednesday morning. sophiegrace, L thinks he can walk too! classymrsa, hope your fundraiser is amazing! +1 to tantrums. I say no, L cries, then wants me to pick him up! That's not how this works kid! dashook, oh no! Plan for today: Disney Junior Aloha party at 8:30am, maybe some Keiki t-shirt stamping at 10, then football (for me) and Lazy river for the rest of the day. |

waitwhat we are doing good so far. Been raining all day and the wind has picked up. The worst for us is going to be overnight thru tomorrow morning. I'm probably not going to get much sleep tonight. Also I'm going to put O in a pack and play in our room to sleep. I don't want him across the house in case something crazy happens.

My mother in law is coming over to spend the night. I understand she doesn't want to be alone but FML. And she's bringing her dog.

C is really testing my patience today. H can hurry his ass home from his football game because I need an hour of alone time... and food.
He's been awake since 1. He's crabby and sleepy but won't nap. He's hungry but won't eat anything but puffs. He wants to play but won't stay in his play area. And he's throwing everything.
I need to start drinking.

Keep safe tonight cookswithwine! There must be a full moon goldenlove. Although she napped, E has been cranky, not eating any food, but wanting to nurse all day. Hope your H gets home soon. |

I hate football.
Also, DS1 isn't wanting to eat anything either. He also didn't want to nap so he's a mess and it's not even 4pm yet. Yay kids.

We met 2 of O's friends and their families at the farm today. And then got overlapping naps out of the kids. I read my book while H watched football. It was reminiscent of when we didn't have kids!
Like, I can't even imagine what my days were like before kids. We would sometimes stay home all day. And do what? It's not like laundry and dishes took that long with only 2 people.

This weekend was amazing! I got to hear so many amazing speakers and meet so many mamas. The highlight was Rachel Coleman. She is the creator of baby signing time and other signing time products. She did this after having 2 girls with special needs. She was so inspiring. She sang some songs she wrote for her daughter who has spina bifida and cerebral palsy and it was just whay I needed to hear. This wad my favorite, |
