My sweet little baby is turning into a real PITA. It seriously took me like 3p minutes to get him strapped into his car seat after picking him up from day care.
Damn toddlers.
Every time we get in the car. Every diaper change. Omfg, I have become a yeller. I never thought I'd yell. I'm so frustrated, and so disappointed in myself.
Oh, yup. All the tears and fighting over everything. Good lord someone give me more wine.

Treated myself to a Cadbury McFlurry on my way home from DS's 3w appointment. It's my favorite McFlurry and I hear from my F17 board this is not a thing in the US. You're missing out, ladies.
yeah, wtf is that?!! I'm not that into the eggs, but I'd try it!!

Fucking diaper changes. Pee, I choose my battles and will change her standing most of the time, but the battles that are poop diapers!! All the bribes. Right now it's the fan remote that turns on and off the light and fan.

DD seems much better today. She is actually eating and no fever. And she is playing now.
We are buying a "new" car. I think we will but the one we test drove today, but I never know if we are getting a great deal. It's the upper limit that we wanted to spend, but it's also got less miles, newer year than most in our lower price range. Plus it has nav, back up camera, multi cd, sun roof....I might end up stealing the car from DH when we have a second! But we are both so thrifty that throwing down the money makes us both anxious/second guess. Fx it goes well

I haven't tried these yet but I remember the days of having friends that worked there and saying how good apple pie mcflurries were. I never go to taste one but it always sounded so good.
L is having a language explosion. I have been waiting for it because he was babbling tons of incoherent things that sounded like he was actually trying to make words. So far he has added a new word a day and today he said outside. I was shocked. I love seeing things click when they are this age. It's fun to see how much they are actually absorbing.

DD2 needs me to sing to her while I change her. Pee or poop. But God help me if I sing the wrong song. Shit has been thrown over the wrong song. Literally.
E has some words, mostly "tat" for cat and "guck" for duck, and to her, all birds are ducks. She's still doing the "duckaduckaducka" thing where she says that while handing you something she doesn't want anymore. She has said all kinds of words once, and then never again.
Last night, she was a total jerk to me. Such a pill. And I told her so while I was bathing her. Not in a mean way, just like "So, you've been kind of a pill this evening to me and it's not been very fun for me." And she turned around, stood up in the tub, and gave me the longest hug ever. Like a 30 second hug. Then she pulled away, kissed me (mmmmmm-ah!), and then hugged me some more.
I died. I'm not real anymore. You are reading the words of a ghost. I don't know if she actually understood what I was saying to her, or if she understands feelings...but it was so sweet and so well-timed.
Maybe it's a STM thing but I find her baby 'tantrums' adorable, lol. Yesterday I gave her a pouch and she really, really wanted the cap, but I did not give it to her because it goes right in her mouth. She dropped the pouch, made a big frown, threw herself on the ground, head down and started to wail. I put my hand on her back and told her I knew she was frustrated but she couldn't have the cap because I want her to be safe. It was probably less than a minute and she popped back up and started eating the pouch. She feels alllll the feelings so intensely but only for a second, lol. Maybe it just seems sweet compared to DD1s nuclear meltdowns that can last an hour 😕

I bet she understands! I am often surprised at the things C seems to comprehend.
My kid once in a while just pukes after a meal. He doesn't seem to be sick or anything and he'll be fine right after and regain his appetite quickly. I never had this issue with my first kid.
I guess I'll mention it to the doctor at his next appointment.

With my first kid, every diaper change was a struggle, he either wanted to lay on his belly or grab the diaper. Mine daughter though you say diaper change and she lays down and holds her legs up lol

It's true...the baby meltdowns are much easier and pass more quickly. When my four year old has a meltdown....it can last for a freakin' hour too.

I think it's also for me the fact that DD2 has great comprehension, but I can't expect her to understand everything. Where as my 4yo knows EXACTLY what I'm asking and will defy anyway knowing the consequences. Like it's annoying to have to sing to her on the change table, but she doesn't understand "if I leave you in your shit all day you will get a rash and I will go to jail if reported". My 4yo totally gets simple asks and elects to blow me off to my face.

DC just called and she has a fever of 100.5 so she has to go home. DD has been there all of 4 hours this week. It's been a very expensive 4 hours.......

hey, haven't been around all week, as I had to delete tapa and never get on the computer with the toddler running around! I have waaaayyy too many pictures on my phone and am finally getting around to backing them up. Am I the only one crazy enough to want to back them up onto a usb and disc?
littleredfish , how sweet! ldubhawksfan , I remember when B started dacycare, it was a similar situation for us, and so hard scrambling for other care. I hope YD feels better soon.
flutterfly88, I've got pics everywhere also. We got a new laptop in Btwn my 2 kids' births so I've got pics on both. Then of course, mh and I always have a constant stream of pics going on our phones. It is very difficult to save them all!
