April/ May 07 Toddlers

That is my biggest fear! That Sam will be so jealous when the new baby gets here that she won't accept it.
Of course in reality she doesn't actually have a choice so I'm sure things will be fine.

So I have to ask. Anybody else have a little gremlin that is desperately trying to drop a day sleep! Sam hasn't had on in nearly a week and it is driving me nuts. I keep putting her to bed at the same time and leaving her there for 1-1.5 hours, but no sleep! I am not going to stop putting her in there to 'rest' but arghhh, by 5pm she is a little monster. Add to that the fact that we are refusing to give her spaghetti on a daily basis and the dinner time tantrums are getting unbearable. I don't want to give in though, because she is so fussy with her eating already and I want it sorted before Baby 2 comes along! UGH!!!!!!!!

Oh, and we are starting potty training finally. She is definitley ready and has been for a little while, but just recently she has started telling me a few minutes before she does a poo.   Not everytime, but a few times so far.   She still doesn't want her nappy changed once she has done it though

And my other exciting news is that we bought her a bed. Well put a deposit on it anyway. I think she is ready as she is waking during the night hitting the sides of the cot. She will only sleep sideways in it which doesn't help! Anyway, I got a really good deal on a good quality Sleepyhead single bed (only $389 on special) and have my eyes on a couple of second hand bed ends on TM that if we win we will sand back and paint white to match her room. I am quite excited, but my only concern is that she won't use blankets now, so can I just continue using a sleeping bag once she goes into her 'big bed'

I sure am   Due October 26th. Scary!

Congrates Mum2Sam :) do you know what your having?

Neeandsam, Congrates to you too, when is bubs due? Oh morning sickness is soooo horrible! I found tomato soup really settled my tum for some reason....

Day sleeps hahahaha we only get that if he is exhausted and passes out. Not so good when mummy could really do with an afternoon nap. Although I have had a little more energy lately and have finally started organising the sewing for our new addition.

I am glad your morning sickness has finally eased Sterryn, mine is still going although has eased a little, little troll even made me puke last night while I was trying to organise dinner.

PP has some really temping cute green and brown overalls that are very tempting. Hopefully you will be able to resist a major buying spree when you find out what you are having Sterryn

Fingers crossed its another girl Mum2sam.

Thanks skyflame :)

Here are a couple of photos of my boys.

They sure are :) Jayden is what we call "a little thinker" Hes always deep in thought and quite serious most of the time. Its hard to get a photo of him smiling and he also likes to whack the camera...lil monkey

I can't believe our kids are turning 2 already. Next thing you know they will be TT'd and leaving home

Oh Julie - That sucks!! Thank goodness at this age they are still too little to understand I guess!

I now check everything I buy after the Christmas Playhouse debarkle! Unbelievable how many mistakes like that are made by companies though isn't it!

Well the easter bunny is trying to get herself organised here this morning. I am feeling so proud of myself though. I decided I wanted to do a simple egg hunt for Samantha, so I have taken photos of her favourite toys, playhouse etc and thought I would place a mini egg and another photo at each spot. That way she can know by looking at the photo where to go next.    Just need to get DH out of bed so I can do it now

Happy 2nd Birthday to all those 2nd Birthdayers!!!

Isnt it funny, in some ways it seems no time at all that they were born and in other ways it feels as though they were here forever!!

Micah didnt seem to notice about Daniel coming along, He certainly hasnt got too jealous anyway which is nice. He would just get very upset if i put daniel into his capsule ready to go in the car but left him inside while i put micah in the car, It was very cute!!!

People always used to tell me when i was pregnant with Daniel that having 2 was 5 times as much work as 1, I dont think it is, a bit more juggling but it just happens, day by day.... And it's heaps of fun watching them start to interact etc!!!

Anyway, I'd better go and get tea done...

Yay, I am finally Mummy   I know that sounds silly, but it has taken this long for Sam to start calling me 'Mummy'. Up until now I have just been nameless the dog boy in our house. Daddy, Nanna & Poppa are all old favourites, but I was just the person who does everything for her
So today she starts calling me 'Mummy' and man does it make my heart want to burst everytime I hear it She pronounces it 'Mammeee' so it is extra cute.    'sigh' I love my little girl so much.

Oh, and OMG, she is going to be 2 in just over a week! Arrgghhh!
