Look at me starting a thread. I'm up way too early because some wild animal made the dogs go nuts overnight. There's been a bunch of coyotes around lately so likely that's what it was. Also, DH was at a 3 alarm fire all night and still isn't home, 15 hours later. I hate when I know there's a horrible fire happening, and he's there. Enjoying a coffee and a quiet house at the moment though.
I didn't know your H is a FF? Hopefully he gets home soon! I always worry too when I know something big is happening and H is at work.
I know you get it tjanca22. He just texted me so all good That's why I chose the little ambulance and fire truck cars for your gift! Although, in hindsight, you probably have a ton of EMS stuff. I know everyone wants to buy O firefighter things!
prettymama36, we will always have FF/EMS stuff around the house and I'm okay with it! DH will sit down with E and point out all the parts on a fire engine or ladder and use actual names for them. It's always so cute to watch!
We head home today so naturally I couldn't sleep last night. I don't want to nap on the plane because then I won't sleep tonight.
Skyping with O was so fun last night! He used a walker to go around my IL's house and my FIL had the phone down on his level. He kept stopping to show us the things he liked to do like playing a tiny piano and going into cabinets. I'm so excited to get him back today!! I miss those cheeks!
mrsmonogrammed I want to hire you as my nanny for my next child LOL; C seems so well behaved...I'm in awe that she'll sit nicely in restaurants and read in the car. What's your secret? 😉
@jemomma whoa big change but what a great opportunity for you all!

Lazy day here. Its SO HOT! I'm not complaining, I love the heat.. probably take the kids over to my mom's house this afternoon to go swimming. Oh and shop for a baby shower for tomorrow! I'm a weird person who actually really likes attending baby showers lol.

Morning all! My girls are both so whiny this morning. We need to get out of the house ASAP or I'm going to go crazy. No weekend plans because DH is on call.
Question for other STM+ moms or anyone with advice.. what age did you take your kids to a movie at the theatre for the first time? I want to take DD1 to see Finding Dory and I feel like she'd sit through the whole thing and love it, but is she too young? She'll be 3 in a 2 months.

I took the girls around three years old. If there's a "stars and strollers" viewing that would be your best bet. They leave the lights dim and there is a lot of little ones, so I wouldn't worry about her being on her best behavior. Finding Dory was really good...be prepared to cry!

prettymama36, The only problem is that all of the stars and strollers showings are at 1 pm and there is NO WAY I'd be able to take both kids. Haha. The normal showings are at 4 and DH could take B. Thanks for the advice though, glad to know I'm not crazy thinking of taking her. She's free for 2 more months too..
@jemomma how exciting, Switzerland is amazing! Give me a shout if you end up going to the German speaking part, I'll start up some German conversation threads to give you some need-to-know phrases like "where can I find tacos" and "my wineglass is empty"
I bust out laughing when I read this. @jemomma I'm not sure I'd personally want to move to Europe right now with all of the violence going on, but Switzerland seems like it would be one of the safer places, so if I were you I would really consider it
mrsmonogrammed I just added those books to my Amazon wish list, thank you. LO still isn't very much into reading but I think he might be more interested in those.
sugarkissed MIL wanted to bring DD with her cousins to go see Finding Dory and H and I said no. We don't think she would be able to sit still long enough to last the whole movie. But maybe in a few more months DD would be ready? Maybe A would be fine though.
Working from home and the girl child is full of energy today. She just figured out how to climb on the couch on her own. Eff me!
This happened here this morning too! She's been using random items to climb up there the past couple weeks, but today she got onto and off the couch on her own. I think the off part was a lucky one though.. scurred.. nowhere is safe!

If you think she'd sit through the whole thing, then she's old enough. We took LBB when he was a little older than 3, but he would not have sat through a movie before then.
baytosa2013, B learned how to climb on the couch too! And everything else. Ugh.
Wow, your kids actually climb off?
My life is spent trying to stop M from diving head first off the couch.
I started practicing with her early on with how to get down. We just did it over and over where I'd stand there and turn her around and slowly slide her down till her feet hit the floor. She does it on our bed too which is a lot higher than the couch. She seems to understand that there is an edge now where there's no more bed our couch. She looks over the edge now where before she would just head for it and nearly fall off.

+1 she climbs up, grins at us, stands up and tries to walk off. My poor child is covered in bumps. I don't know what to do other than not have a couch!
sugarkissed the little girls that I nannied for before H was born were 2 and 3. The 2 yr old would run up and down the aisles at the movie theater every time we went; she couldn't sit still longer than 15 mins. It was awful for the poor thing. The 3 yr old LOVED it! So with H, my plan is not to take her until about 3 yrs old. DNW to torture her or myself... I bet A would love it, she's prob the perfect age!
Hayley and I just left the doctor's office. Poor thing has an upper respiratory infection and a mild double ear infection 😢 We're on antibiotics, so she should start feeling better in 24-48 hours per the dr, but she has to stay out of water for a week. Guess we're not going to my aunt's shore house...I'm so bummed for her because all her cousins will be there and she would have loved it!

We taught BH "feet first" a couple months back, so that's what he uses to get down from couches, chairs, beds, and stairs.
Sigh. I've been trying to show him feet first, too. This kid does what he wants, when he wants. He used to wave bye to me. No more. He'll now just push my hand aside, as if to say "stop bothering me, mom". lol
