I'm preparing for A's party tomorrow. I baked a cake yesterday and then realized it might not be enough for everyone so I baked cupcakes this morning. We probably had more than enough with just the cake, but oh well.
P did ok last night. He woke up screaming at one point and it took about 20 minutes of holding and soothing to get him back down but then he was ok. I was pretty sure he must be waking up the whole campground but every baby fam we've seen today said theirs did the same thing and we never heard them so maybe not. He got up at the very hint of dawn and has been going non stop for almost four hours so far. I made DH get up to watch him while I went to do yoga and now he's resting in his PnP in the tent. Hopefully he'll take at least an hour nap.
We are invited to go camping on the beach this weekend but I think I'm passing. DS would love it but DD isn't walking yet so it would just mean a weekend of me chasing her around and stopping her from eating sand

I'm glad P has been walking for two months before this and has lots of practice. It makes it so much easier. Except when we wanted to run down the hill at 6:30 this morning and refused to hold my hand when I was willing to walk with him. I ruined his life by not allowing that. I don't know how you do this during the crawling phase.
Oh yeah... So last night I walked down to the portapotty station and a four year old girl is there with her 7 year old cousin. She saw me and immediately told me she couldn't potty by herself and needed help. I asked where her parents were and she was all "oh I don't know around here somewhere." Uh...ok. Bottom line, I ended up having to help her and then wipe her butt for her and the whole time I'm looking over my shoulder wondering if someone is going to jump out of the bushes and accuse me of being inappropriate. I just felt very awkward but better me than tell her no and risk the wrong person coming along. Also, Im not sure what age I would allow my kid to roam around a music festival in the woods alone... pretty sure DS1 (9) would be allowed to with limits and with other kids his age... but I do know it isn't at four years old, supervised by a seven year old..
Hi everyone ! Just popping in to say that we made it safe to France and were only delayed by 2 hours from usual traveling time so not bad. SIL made it too after 5hours of driving instead of 2 ! Crazy. Trying to get my ass out of bed to start partying with ILs Haven't catched up on anything yet but will do when I am up in the middle of the night, lol. Happy Saturday everyone. @poppyc8
Glad you made it. XH and DS1 had four hour delay out of Dallas because of weather and missed their connecting flight from Frankfurt to Zagreb yesterday. They had to wait eight hours for the next one. Poor kid. Every time he flies something like this happens.

Haha I just did this too, even though I'm sure the cake is lots.

@jimbobcooter The simple fact that she can't use the bathroom on her own is reason enough to not allow her off on by herself. Four is much much too young to be supervised by a seven year old in such a public place. Playing outside in your own neighborhood? Sure. At a music festival filled with strangers? Nope.
We decided on a baby Mickey theme, so I did baby Mickey cupcakes. And I did a cake, but I don't really think it is good enough to share. I always have grand ideas for cakes and they never turn out the way I like. : (

We ended up spending all afternoon at the in laws because our alternator died when we pulled in. It took H hours to replace it. Thankfully A did great and even took a long nap. They even got him a Tec cake and he wouldn't touch it. My kid doesn't like to get dirty or eat sweets.
Good luck @erbear! Do you mind me asking what the mess is? Sorry if you already mentioned it. I'm having some issues too in that area and am wondering if I should call my doctor.
Late, but I've been bleeding every other week since November. Full on periods, too, not spotting. I'm breastfeeding and not on BC either.
