I did bit watch the debate. I was up enough with e throughout the night. My alarm went off and I woke to turn it off and went back to sleep for 2 hours.
I did not watch the debate. My head hit the pillow and I was out. We had several nights of interrupted sleep due to sickness, and I could not keep my eyeballs open any longer.
I'm nervous about Pa. being the possible deciding state. There are so. many. Trump. signs. Some people hang them in trees to make them difficult to steal and/or deface.
In non-political news, M slept like a rock last night. It was glorious after several nights of snotty, sad baby. I feel refreshed!
E woke up with lots of green snot this morning joy. Also a log grade fever 100.1 and coughing. She kept sneezing off and on yesterday so it was just starting.
A has her 18 months appointment this morning. Fx they aren't running too late since it's shortly after they open and we are running to far behind for DC and work.
I had some questions I wanted to ask the pedi but didn't write them down and completely forgot.
sjep922 perhaps it was about food, eating, physical capabilities, words, behavior, sleep? malvo glad you got sleep! @megaugust10 fx e feels better soon!
People joke like, "I'm moving to Canada!" No, I'm legitimately trying to decide where to take my family. Not only to avoid the next President, but the people that exist in this country. I can't believe it.
It took f too long to go down last night BUT she slept until 5. But then she cried all morning for me to hold her. Is this a phase? Why is my baby so fussy all the time! I actually got annoyed and frustrated with her fit throwing over me trying to put her shirt on this morning that I made h trade tasks with me.
On another note- I'm wearing panty hose for the first time this season. It's a dreary rainy day.
rvamama, I'm sorry F is being fussy. If it makes you feel better A is the same way. Maybe it's just a phase. I did not watch the debate last night. I was busy working on my LLR application. A was up a million times last night. Every time I walked to her room she'd go back to sleep.
rvamama sorry F is being difficult. A has been like that on and off recently also. She has either been throwing crazy tantrums or being the sweetest girl I've ever met. My H keeps saying terrible 2's and I keep saying nooooo it's too early! Ha.

rvamama, I'm sorry F was so fussy! What a dreary day today.
ladymike, I just can't with FB today either. I said my piece last night because I am SO FUCKING TIRED of stupid ass comments. "Go out and get a job." Well, no, its not that easy. What if you have a child? A minimum wage job cannot pay childcare. And kids are only in school 6 hours a day, so a single parent cannot work full time at a minimum wage job. And lets not talk about when people say "Then don't have kids." You don't get to tell people what to do with their bodies. Maybe if birth control was more affordable and accessible people wouldn't have so many kids. I am so tired of people and their simplistic solutions to real problems.
I obviously have a lot of feels on this subject.
I'm not really scared of the election because, you know, checks and balances and all, but I am scared of the people in this country. It has for some reason become OK to be racist, xenophobic, and sexist. I can't believe there are this many people who think that way.
graciest719, I'm just speechless and hopeless about all of it. It makes me want to move even further out into the middle of nowhere and live off the grid. Like those crazy Alaskans, but not in Alaska because way too damn cold.

So, I am starting to worry a little about O's words.
She isn't saying some of the words she used to, like mama, and her teacher says she doesn't talk at school at all. She said she isn't worried because that is common when a kid starts in a new classroom. I also think she is working hard on walking so she may be not actively working on language acquisition. She still says some words, but I read she should be saying 50 words by 2. 50! We are nowhere near that.
I also think that I may be just looking for things to worry about because that is the kind of person I am. I guess I should just wait and talk to her doctor at her 18 month visit.

rvamama, I'm sorry F is so fussy. D is like that most days all the time. It's so hard and I get frustrated with him quite a bit. FX it will turn around for you guys the rest of the week!

I just couldn't even watch the debate for more than 30 seconds, it made me sad. I will admit that I am purposely trying to be ignorant to it all and have absolutely no clue about his ideas and arguments, but I just don't understand who and WHY someone would vote for Trump? Like who thinks the things that come out of his mouth are ever okay to speak?
Anyways, don't want to get political or crazy or anything i'm just hoping for the best possible outcome and then these shenanigans will be over.
D was sooo insane last night. If he can't climb anything or try to kill himself with things around the house hes throwing tantrums. It was also night @ of screaming the whole way through dinner. I know he's trying to get what he wants because the second one of us moves he thinks were going to take him out of his highchair and stops crying. So I think we need to work on being a bit more structured in what we allow and what we just let him scream for. parenting is soooo hard, I don't want him to be badly behaved because he knows he can get away with it but I also don't want to screw him up by being the meanie who won't comfort him when hes screaming
ajacot924, I think you're right! She's working hard on those physical skills. Once N picked up on Mama and simple words/sounds, she took some weeks off to learn how to walk/climb/destroy all the things. She's back to working on words now while simultaneously climbing/destroying all the things.
maddisonrose, the secret is that they are announcing them today on our weekly home office update call. So, I'll let you know around 2pm! I hope they release some photos, too!!!

ajacot924, D had ZERO words for the longest time and I could tell it was because he was so focused on learning to be physically active. Once he mastered that he then began to speak, and it was not long ago at all!I have a running list of the words he says and were only at 20. Try not to worry, but O is lucky to have you in her corner doing the best you can to make sure she's a rockstar
ajacot924 M had a few words but her vocabulary really didn't take off until after she learned to walk. Once she was confident in her walking and her general physical capabilities, her vocabulary exploded.
We're at 20 words and four animal sounds. The words just started flowing in recent weeks.

ajacot924 - Try not to worry mama! Easier said than done, I know. We're doing speech because N has never said an actual word ever. He talks all day but never actually says a word. The fact that she had them and now has put them on the back burner just means she's working on the physical stuff. Hugs girl! It's hard to be a mom and worry about everything!
maddisonrose - I'm good. Just busy. Today was/is get a baby gift, call LLR because my system is broken, hopefully get a new phone, meet friends for lunch to meet two new babies, and have a live sale tonight. And I'm rephotographing my inventory. I LOVE D in soccer. I would put N in soccer because he loves to sick his soccer ball around the house but he doesn't follow direction well yet. Haha. I mean if I tell him to put something in the garbage he will, but I just think toddler soccer would be chaos. Haha. How are you?? Still ntnp?

portuguesemama, ah your so busy I don't know how you do it!! Toddler soccer is definitely a shit storm....but D is so active I'd rather the shit storm be outside where he can run and go nuts instead of in our townhouse haha. I am good! We are are 6 months of ttc and 6 months of disappointment,but I am definitely trying to not let it get to me. FX these last months of 2016 are lucky for us
No Halloween leggings for Sarah. Please patronize one of the other lovely M15 mamas who will get them. And if any of you get those purple skulls in the promo picture, I want!
A kid just shit himself during my story. I need a beer.
