gilder40 I'm super jealous of you only having 4.5 days left. I go until June 28. Bleh
We're going to my nephew's communion party this afternoon. He received First communion last week. Today it was so cute watching him receive this morning. He is so proud.
Gahh I thought these kids were starting to get better but they have been sleeping almost all day so far... LO didnt even wake up until 9 yet he has been napping for the last two hours.

Im feeling so sad for DS. He seemed to be on the upswing yesterday, but today he's still dealing with a fever and horrifying explosive poops. He's also just crabby and out of it, he's been napping on me the better part of the last couple hours. An unexpected day off and trip to the ped is not what I was hoping for the Monday before our vacation, but it looks like that's where we're headed since this has been going on since Friday now.
heartofglass we do basics with lo. She knows "milk" and we do "more" "all done" "up" "down" "mom" "dad" "dog" "diaper". I use the baby signing time DVDs someone bought us but I think they're all on Netflix!
Church, baptism and lunch are now over. B was so good for such a long morning. She cried when the priest tried to hold her up to the congregation but other than that it was a success. She was out cold the minute we put her in the car though. I am going to have to get a shelf for just her baptism gifts. It is all breakable and I don't know where to display it.
We HAVE to try an push DD's bedtime back. She has been up every morning at 530 for the last couple of weeks and it is killing my soul. Tips or tricks anyone??
No tips here, just commiseration. No matter what time V goes to bed, whether 6:30 or 10:00, he is wide awake by 6 am (and also wakes 1-2x a night).
This is true for us too. Bedtime at 6 or 9pm and she is still up at 545 or 6am. I'm praying she just grows out of it.
The kids are both napping. I just ran to the store to get ground beef to make tacos tonight. I also bought a little baby pool so the kids can have some fun outdoor time this afternoon.
H will be out of town for work this Monday-Thursday. Not much else going on.

Does anyone have an older LO with cow milk allergy? If so what type of milk do they drink? We have started giving Mal some normal milk and he is breaking out like he did before we switched him to the cow milk free formula. His ped wanted us to try normal cow milk first to see how he reacted but what now?
So random question. We noticed some sidewalk chalk art under our carport, but didn't think much of it since we have friends and family over recently. The only odd thing was that it was under my car, and my car was parked the entire time family was over.
Today, when H and I got home from the store, we noticed new art out in the driveway. It definitely wasn't there when we left. H doesn't think it's a big deal, but I'm pretty annoyed someone is digging around under our carport and getting out our stuff. Am I overreacting?

My DD drinks exclusively soy, largely because most other milk alternatives are nut products banned by her daycare.You probably want to switch back to formula temporarily and then if your pedi is like mine he/she might have you try again with 2% or wait it out a few months.

Not sure if this is helpful, but DS1 got nasty diarrhea. From whole milk at first, so I cut it with rice milk. Another option would be toddler formula, perhaps? I got a sample of that stuff in the mail...

totally not overreacting. I would be furious. We live in a neighborhood of mainly older people and they are so noisy and walk through our yard sometimes just to see what's going on and it's annoying!
We met up with some friends at the children's museum and P had a blast playing in the padded baby area and splashing in the waterworks section.
Afterwards we all went out to lunch and our friends told the hostess their 18 month old didn't need a high chair because he can just sit in the chair at the table. I was all, "Whaaaaaaat?! WOW!," and super impressed. Yeah, well he doesn't just sit in the chair at the table. He spent the entire lunch screaming and yelling and trying to climb off the chair and run around the restaurant and they just kept putting him back on the chair again. It went on for about an hour and in my head I was all, "Geezus, just get a fucking high chair! It's that simple!" I mean, maybe he'll scream in the high chair but at least he's contained. But I kept my mouth shut because not my kid and just listened to him scream as he tried to run all over and they frantically tried to stop him. It was stressful to witness.
Anyway, after we finished eating we moved out to the fenced in patio area, where no one at all was sitting, and just let the kids toddle around free range while we all had a beer. We were soon joined by three other families with babies/toddlers and had one big baby friendly beer garden party. It was fabulous.

@scoop what time is bedtime nowadays? I've found sometimes an earlier bedtime makes O sleep longer. Like when I've pushed for 8pm he's been up at 6am. But when he's down around 6:30/7 he usually sleeps 12 hours. But I think you were already around 6pm bedtime if I remember..
hannahl201477Kristykristyleelee It isn't random chalk at the end of our long driveway (our drive can park about 4-5 cars in a row easily), its up by the end of the drive and under our carport. So whoever did it has walked up the drive and gotten the chalk out from under our carport. There's a name too, and I don't recognize it. I have no idea who it is, and there's very few kids in our neighborhood. How long before they start using my SD's scooter or shooting baskets in our goal when we are gone? Now I feel like I need to lock everything up.

Welp, Jules has a cold and is exhausted but she won't sleep. She keeps falling asleep but then sits up and wants to play. I don't know what to do. We have less than a week to ha e everything packed for our move and on top of that going to a wedding in NJ Friday night to Sunday morning. Im actually dying right now.

Correct, bedtime is already around 6.
So we pushed to 630 last night and she was up at 509 this morning. I just can't.
Tried to feed her with the lights out and put right back down? That's what I did at 5:50 today. It's not my favorite thing having that feeding, but at least I got to lay down for another hour...
budders and @scoop same. Doesn't matter when LO goes to bed he is up by 530 am. Saturday morning I was so tired I got up, made the kid a bottle, and let him drink it in his crib and I went to lay down. When I went back he was sleeping on top of the bottle and woke up when I tried to remove it. But I was up anyway so...yeah.
@wwprestige I got DH a neato for his birthday. He's a tech guy and did a ton of research and decided he wanted that over the roomba. We really like it. It goes home when it needs to charge then goes back out and finishes the job. It goes home when it's bin is full. And the shape of it is good for getting into corners. We love it. It does well on carpet and hard wood for us. There are strips that you can put places where it could get stuck...for instance we had to put strips under the coffee table cause he got stuck under there. Bluedaisy one Starbucks? Seriously? Not ok.
purple so glad you were able to sing. So sorry you are in so much pain.
We get out June 22nd. But I work till August anyway so it doesn't really mean what it should.
And it's in the chapters on the OTHER side of the city....
