This is a drive by hi. It's VBS week here so I am busy busy. Most of my part should be done after this morning and hopefully smooth sailing from there. Although I guessing we will come home and I will nap when DD naps.

I don't know if it was because DD was exhausted from skipping her nap or if the preemptive dose of Motrin I gave her did the trick but we finally had a good night of sleep again last night.
DH usually does DD's bath but last night I did it. I guess she hasn't been loving it lately (Saturday night she told DH she was all done while he was filling the tub), but last night I made it a bubble bath and she did not want to come out. She was sitting there scooping up the bubbles and splashing them until I let all the water out and she was sitting in the empty tub.
aggiebug hope everything goes smoothly for you this week!
aggiebug your hard work is appreciated, I'm sure. dmorgendorffer that is so cute! Isn't that a special mother/daughter moment
I feel like dd2 is an only child...it's so weird. And my H is gone too so I'm a bit lonely. But I guess dd1 did great at my sister's and now they are at the children's museum looking like they are having a blast. My other sister is coming into town for a few days so we are going to have a girls sleep over. I just made nutella muddy buddies to have something to munch on and OMG. Dangerous!
dmorgendorffer ha! DD does that too. Once it's empty, she starts doing the toddler downward dog and trying to splash in the residual drops of water that remain.
DD is sleeping soooo much. Not complaining, but it's hard not to worry. My mommy instincts tell me she just needs extra sleep between recent travel, transition to one nap, teething, her little cold, and maybe a growth spurt? But omg. Put her to bed at 7:45 and she was still asleep at 10:15 this morning. My sister is a doctor (family medicine, but she sees lots of kids) and says as long as she's acting like herself when she's awake, eating, and drinking, she's fine. She's extra clingy, but otherwise pretty happy most of the time.
agm04 I hope it's just a little bug! It sounds like all of those things could be valid reasons for her extra sleep but if you are worried you could always put a call into your pediatrician.
dreemkin I almost did that this morning, but the nurses always say to bring her in and then the pedi - who is the most laid back person alive - tells me she's perfect and I shouldn't worry. Since she seems like herself and my sister agreed, I'm going to give it a little more time. I'm just glad it's more sleep instead of less! haha.

I meant to come by and tell yall that DS has started walking behind a push toy on his own! The ladies at daycare mentioned it in his daily sheets last week, then Friday evening I set him behind it and he just pulled up and started going.
This morning his main teacher asked if I saw her note about it. 💕 He has a few more weeks to really start walking before the room changes (Aug 1). I'm thinking he may just make it.

agm04 enjoy the sleep while it lasts! And +1 to if she's fine when awake I wouldn't worry about some extra sleep. dreemkin glad N is having fun with your sister! And yay for a sleepover in the works. cougarette it would be so awesome if N gets to move up in August!!
DS and I went to the park this morning, where he insisted on taking a walk instead of playing on the playground. I am so thankful he's such a good communicator; it makes life more fun for me. Now he's napping and I'm about to fold laundry.
DH and I watched the Wedding Ringer last night. It was way, way funnier than I expected!

dreemkin, I am so jealous. I love muddy buddies - I could never make it at home because I would end up eating it all. Before DD it was one of my go to airplane snacks but always impossible to find. I can't imagine trying to eat it on a flight now with her sitting on my lap, would be bad news.
lilyelayne I love the communication. On so many levels. This morning she said bye I lub you to H for the first time and I just about melted into a puddle of mush right there.
I am tired! This morning went well but man! AND I have a church meeting tonight that I am in charge of. I think I may live off of caffeine today.
lilyelayne thanks for the movie idea. I looked it up and I like the guy actors in the movie so I'll have to check it out. And I also love the communication aspect (although A doesn't talk yet). Just wait til they are like 3 and you have an actual conversation with them. It's crazy and amazing. My H just said to me the other day that it's so weird but cool that he had a kind of grown up convo with N.

What is the secret??
I can NOT with the screeching anymore. I know he's trying to tell me something, but I'm at a loss.
We're actually going to switch gears and try to get him in speech therapy since the PT backlog is ridiculous. Hopefully it'll help with the cup too.

I'm not so good with screech translation either. Or figuring out what" this" refers to except it's probably something I won't let him have.

H and I went out for an early anniversary dinner because we're in France and were able to get a babysitter through the hotel. Lovely dinner out and DS had an OK time. We need more wine dates out.
cougaretteseamonster I don't know the secret to communication, sorry just lucked out with a verbal kid. He signs pretty well, too, for the things most important to him. That doesn't mean we don't both get frustrated when he's trying to communicate something & can't. I hope speech therapy helps, cougarette, do y'all think you can get an appointment pretty quickly?
Yes, the EI said that there are many more speech therapists than physical therapists in the area. So I'm hoping we can get in quickly.
In my state they cut funding badly on EI and had to let go of a lot of staff. They kept mostly speech therapists. Maybe it's like that everywere?? Good luck; I hope it helps! FWIW, my LO is not saying anything but "dada" for everything still. She even lost "hi" and "uh oh". I think we'll be down the same speech issue path with her as we did for my first. And DD2 is such a whiner for anything she wants. She does have some signs which help but I can tell she wants to say things and can't
