misshart00 DS tries to share with DD as well: goldfish, cheerios, etc. It's cute, but also scary sometimes. I especially dislike when DS has toast with peanut butter, then grabs her teether giraffe with his sticky hands. She's still a bit too small for peanut butter little guy.
I had to get a goldfish out of DS's throat yesterday. The toddler tried to share and shoved a goldfish in his mouth. I was super impressed with how well I kept my cool.
I got to sleep in until about 8:30 this morning! DH and I only woke up because the girls woke up and decided to "clean," their bathroom (and make a ton of noise in doing so). DS was out until 9ish. Once we got up and going we headed to a kids art festival. Now home to have lunch and regroup. Planning a short trip to the zoo later (we're annual pass holders so we just pop in for an hour or two pretty regularly). Then spending the evening grilling hot dogs and hamburgers and hanging out by the pool. And game of thrones tonight!

@holachica, I'm a little jealous. The student I texted was super sweet. I know his mom so she gave me his number so that I could talk to him. He asked me how I was doing, and I told him that I was just hoping they will be patient with me as I get back into the routine and teach them something worthwhile in the little time we have left. He sent back that they were all excited to have me back so that they can learn something and that they missed me. It really helped my anxiety.
I have developed some great lessons for the honors kids to get the most out of the few days we have left. We only have 8 instructional days until exams, so I can make it through that. I think my PPA is getting the best of me. I think once tomorrow comes and goes I will be better. The anticipation is often times worse than the reality.
My mom and her boyfriend are coming for a few days and are getting a hotel room. We want to try LO in the pool. What do you recommend for a swim diaper? Any other advice or tips?

Mad Men series finale tonight. I can't decide if I'll watch it tonight or watch the recording tomorrow. First daycare drop off is tomorrow so it seems I should try to go to bed early (assuming DS goes down early).

We had our first over night trip with LO-- on our drive home now-- and LO is running a fever 102!?!?! Stripped her down, wiped her with a wipe, gave her some tylenol poor baby girl-- I feel awful!

Wow wow wow! LO just spent 15 min screaming as loud as she could right in my face. By some miracle I managed to keep my cool! This kid needs a poop already. Hopefully by the time I'm done feeding her and putting her to bed my glass of wine will be ready...
misshart00 lately we just say, "if you don't eat anything of what we're having, then no snacks later". She has been filling up on snacks and then picking at dinner. She'll reluctantly eat then...usually....at least something healthier.

I caved and gave her 5 goldfish. I do so much better at standing my ground when H is home.
My toddler loves candy, chocolate, ice cream or treats of any kind. This is ironic since we never gave her any of these things for the longest time. Even now we limit them but she asks for them all the time. This works to our advantage in order to get her to eat her dinner since we can say no X until you finish. If there is any throwing food or making a mess on purpose there are no treats. I'm not exactly happy that we've come to this but it works for us since she's already asking and asking for a treat.

I feel like I would do better if she could talk. She can say fishies.

Yes! I find their frustration of not being understood ramps up the tantrum much faster.
I still remember the day she was trying to pull open the freezer door saying something. Took a min before I realized it was ice cream. The first thing I said was 'where did you learn that word?'
