I routinely use gripe water to keep my baby from fussing. Originally I got it to help with her gassiness, and dosed her appropriately. She liked the taste so much that I've taken to dipping her Binky into it when she's excessively fussy. The taste seems to take her mind off whatever was making her fuss. That little trick is the only way I can get her to sleep when she's over-tired.
Ooooh I'm gonna try this! DS is a little diaster when he's over tired!

Last night i couldn't be bothered to change DSs diaper at his 5am feed thinking he'd be up again at 7... He randomly had another 6 hours of sleep, meaning he was in the sane diaper for 15 hours.

I changed the toddler for bedtime the other day and the last time I remeber changing her was from her overnight diaper that morning. Mom fail.
I put Roslin in her swing but she was being fussy. The swing has three positions. The only one that distracted her enough to stop crying was facing the TV. She is still facing the TV, watching all the pretty colors.

The very first pedi appt DS had, i forgot to bring my diaper bag. Of course he had a nice wet diaper. Day 1 home from the hospital: failure.
The second pedi appt (weight check a few days later), my mom came with me and I had no idea how to get the car seat out of the car. Mind you it was -teens with the wind chill. I yanked DS out of his buckles, wrapped him in a blanket and shuffled inside. Fortunately, my mom figured it out and met me inside the office with it.

We didn't get an infant seat, so I always have to take DS out of the car seat to go in anywhere. Don't feel bad for having to wrap him in a blanket.

I borrowed MIL's car this past weekend. Well I wasn't paying attention when I was getting DS out of his car seat and knocked his head on the handhold on the top of the door. I drive a Durango and I'm used to a lot more room than her little Camry. DS didn't seem to notice, but I felt awful.

My toddler has started ducking her head when I put her in he car because I've bonked her head too many times.
DS always kicks his feet out when taking him out of the infant car seat and his head hits the little canopy on the car seat. He gets upset but, it's hard to get him outta there without running into something especially when he is kicking.

Tonight, I went to get hummus and pita chips out of the kitchen. I discovered that the chips are stale. So I opened a new bag. But I saved the old bag for the toddler because she doesn't know the difference.
Last week I was in a rush to get out the door to work (at 6 am) and put the car seat base in the back of husbandman's car without strapping it in. He told me that night that he drove around with her three different times without realizing the base was just sitting on the seat. I freaked out at both of us and then immediately went online and bought another car seat. Eff this switching the seat around nonsense.
Also, I have insane sugar cravings from BFing and have taken to buying sugar cereal (which we don't ever buy) and hiding it in the cupboards no one uses so the teens won't eat it. Also, clandestine milkshake runs all the time, with a pit stop at the Walgreens' parking lot trash can to dispose of evidence.

My mom prefers stale chips so she always leaves the bags open. To this day I have a super hard time telling if chips are stale or not. Aren't they supposed to be that way?

I read this to my husband and we both giggled. We have done the same thing before. My teenaged son will eat anything, so we leave it for him.

The fresh ones are nice and crisp. The stale ones are just weird.

I'm with you lilyelayne I can never tell the difference either.
Today DD spit up all down the front of her onesie right before I ate dinner. Since bath time is right after dinner, I just wiped her off and put her on her playmat. Eh, what's one hour in a sightly damp and smelly shirt?

I was getting my LO's bath warmed up and he peed on the brand new sheets I just washed. I hastily wiped up the (fairly small amount of) pee and threw a swaddle blanket down. The idea of washing that sheet and putting it back on was far too daunting. Oh he doesn't sleep in the crib, just chills in it.

My son spits up so much that the idea of changing his outfit ONLY because he spit up is hugely amusing to me. Once every few hours I change him. Mother of the year over here!

Haha you change him more than I change DD and she is a spit up queen. I change her due to spit up if we are going out and she is exceptionally soaked or if she smells bad. Otherwise she wears the same outfit all day.

This is also me. We have lots of spit up over here... I am very judicious about when she is changed because otherwise I would be doing it all day long!
