Let's make Monday magical

[robotpcr]

I'm trying positive thinking this morning. Mostly I'm just tired though.

[robotpcr]

My kid ate more than 2 bites of breakfast though so that's something I suppose.

Also, it sunny! (At least it is here)

Cold and rainy here, boo. I think I'm making soup for dinner.

Boo. Sending our sunny vibes your way!

My oldest son is NINE today. And now I'm really old.

One thing I'm not ready for?

By the end of the week I will have a two year old 😑

I think because the odds of us being one and done I'm so high, I'm really struggling with knowing that I'll never have a one-year-old again.

Age 2 is one of my favorite ages. I like it way more than 1.

[lgsdesigner]

I feel very sluggish and off today. First day back to work since the surgery and not feeling it.
Plus-- I keep getting hot flashes then cold chills.

Crazy! I love the shirt though.

Big hugs mama.

There is a good chance we'll be one and done too. I am hoping we're successful in our counselling because a) I love my husband and want our marriage to work and b) better marriage increases likelihood of having another child like 1000%.

We both want another but know we're not in the right place for that to happen currently.

Our littles turning two is giving me all the feels too. I still have a few weeks but I find myself thinking about it and getting misty-eyed pretty frequently.

We went camping this weekend in our new camper and the kids had such a great time! We were really worried bedtime was going to be a nightmare with them in the bunk house, but DH installed a bed-rail on the top and bottom bunk and they both went right to sleep Friday and Saturday around 8 DD was asking to go to bed, we put them to bed and again right to sleep! We went to a Yogi bear park and they had so much for the kids to do!

[honda13]

We are continuing down this unplanned potty training path. I have no idea what I'm doing and I'm worried this whole process is going to take months. DD is ready though so I guess that's what really matters.

C slept in her big girl bed last night. Well, I checked the monitor and she spent a few hours on the floor before I moved her back to bed. I didn't sleep well last night because I kept waiting to hear a thud followed by crying. Plus, I'm at that point in my pregnancy when I always have to pee and can't get comfortable at night.

[honda13]

bwisco123, she'll go on the potty and then not. She'll wake up dry and then not. I know it's a process, but I just wish there was a way to know if this is the right time or not. I don't want to be going back and forth for several months. Also, I have no idea what to do when we go out of the house. Yesterday we had a lot of errands to run and she went in her pull up. I can' stay home all the time, but I need to be consistent.

emu0013 I am so jealous! Our camper is still in storage. I keep bugging DH to get it out! We usually don't camp in May though because it always tends to be so cold. Our first weekend we have scheduled is June 10th...it seems so far away!

We had really good weather this weekend, it was chilly at night through we had to turn the heat on! We have never camped this early! We had to pick it up from the dealer last weekend, so we figured we would try it out! lol

Anyone else's kid eat sand?!

Ugh. C just bent over the sandbox at daycare and took a big ole bite. So gross.

Yes! C did about a year ago. Hasn't done it since!

[hotcoconuts82]

Yep. My middle child was the queen of tasting everything. Sand, dirt, ocean water.

Yeah, I am not down with months and months of going back and forth.  We're going to attempt the 3 day method this summer and see what happens.

[robotpcr]

We went to a play date and grocery shopping this morning and I'm feeling much better being back on our routine. I'm going to work out during nap, after I finish my lunch and maybe Target after nap.

[marygracerich]

Hi!
I have had a busy day and it's still going. I went to work all morning. Then I picked up lunch for me and MH. In a little bit I am going to pick up my sister because she is babysitting for me tonight. I will hit the grocery store on the way home from picking my sister up.
Tonight Mh and I are going out to dinner. No place fancy but it will be just the two of us. Our anniversary is tomorrow and he has to work late so he wanted to go tonight.

[seventythree]

Hello! I know I haven't been around much. Having MH home all the time is proving to be as much of a PITA as I thought. I mean, it's not ALL bad, but we definitely haven't found our rhythm yet. Doesn't help that we've had a cold run through the house...but still, we can't go on like this for months.

This is our plan, too. A doesn't quite seem ready yet -- we have a potty but she doesn't care -- but hopefully when it's time, we can just do the bootcamp.

Ughhh, sorry.  That sounds rough.  I don't do well when we're off our routine, I'd be losing my mind.

Yeah, so much of our routine was based on his work schedule, so that's pretty much out the window. I need to find us all some structure, he doesn't seem to get that, but I mean...there's a reason we've been snapping at one another.

We did the 3 day with DD at about 26-27 months and it worked amazing, the first day she had 10 accidents I wanted to stop, her teacher told me stick with it give it the whole week, the 2nd day was 8 accidents the 3rd day was 5 or 6 and the 4th day 1 and she never had another after that! They did a sticker chart with it at school. I plan to do the same with K and hope it works as well.

[bethypoo83]

On the train home. It was a long day. I feel like this will be a long week.

There will be wine tonight. And GoT.

[cosmicav]

DS has his 2 year appointment tomorrow. I can't wait to see how big he is!! -cries a little- he is so big and so freakin smart I can't believe it.

And the little one is getting big fast too!! She will be 2mos tomorrow!!

Lots of feelings :0

[marygracerich]

I am full of hibachi. My tummy is so happy. My sister is encouraging us to stay out later. Ok, sister whatever you say. We are heading to the mall to go shopping. 😊

[robotpcr]

We went to Target and I got a bunch of stuff, including some new nail polish. Then I made peanut soup for dinner with cornbread. Yum.
