Toddler and Preschooler Check-in (4/5)

[eliz77]

Age: 2 1/3 years

Milestones: Counting up to 12 in english and 4 in spanish. Recognizes letters and numbers.

Challenges: Naps and dinner are not our thing any longer. Potty training has stalled as well.

Funny/cute stories: I made scrambled eggs for breakfast today and D announced he would be having his breakfast in the dining room. OK. Got him set up in a chair and he waved and said,"Bye bye mommy, leave!" He did eat most of his eggs with no mess!

How are you? OK...had an HSG done today, my remaining tube is clear, I also had a mammogram for the 1st time. I go for u/s tomorrow with my RE to see how I responded to Clomid.

Anything else? Not really. Trying not to obsess over TFAS. I adore my son, and I want him to have a sibling, but I have also made peace that if we are OAD, it's ok. I just want to know what the future holds, no patience! 

QOTW:Same thing I do now-bed, drink, TV and laptop!

Age: 2

Milestones: Dressing herself

Challenges: Dressing herself. Seriously, you absolutely are NOT allowed to help choose or put on any clothing so I have to start this task at least 30 min before we need to be out the door because she will change her mind more than once.

Funny/cute stories: We were at my IL's last week and she pooped in her diaper but was avoiding letting me change her. I went and grabbed wipes and a diaper and she had crawled up in my MIL's lap and was patting her head telling her "I love you gwama so much I just want to sit with you". So of course MIL let her sit with her, dirty diaper and all. Little stinker knows exactly what to say to get her way!

How are you? Tired. DD2 has been sick and sleep has ceased to exist but I'm hoping we are turning a corner.

Anything else? Nope!

QOTW: I would cook meals I really enjoy instead of just what will please the masses. I would also work out more and hopefully keep a cleaner house but in reality probably not that last part 😊

Age: 2!

Milestones: more words, can follow simple directions (if he wants)

Challenges: clingy. Oh my goodness. He screamed all morning while I got ready. Wanted to be held by mommy and only mommy. It was really hard to leave and he was so, so upset. I think he knows things are about to change (having my second rainbow in 2 weeks) and he is overwhelmed.

Funny/cute stories: he says goodbye to everything these days, his toys, the house, the potty...

How are you? Exhausted

Anything else? very worried about managing a new born and toddler.

QOTW: Read, craft, go on trips...
