We rarely use cups for the kiddos but when we do, we use little plastic cups with Mickey on them.

I fixed your post for you.

I am laughing so hard. This is awesome!

Watching Glee. Uncle Jesse, how do you still look so good?

[mmarie]

I just spent way too much time looking at babs instagram.. some of them made me literally lol

[osumegs]

cougarette Glad your LO is feeling better...sorry about your mil

junebugjam Yay for surviving first night! Hope tonight is better

[aggiebug]

Back from the pool party. DD and I are both tired. What is it about the sun and the water that wears you out? I was actually able to transfer DD from her car seat asleep to her bed and she is still napping that is how tired she is.

[dacora]

Ugh, after 40ish minutes of crying DD is finally asleep (for now) for her nap. She did SO good for her first two naps (no crying, less than a minute of crying respectively) but this one was just a huge disaster. This is her 5th day of sleep training, I was really hoping we were getting more consistent...

I guess it can take a couple weeks for sleep training to really stick, from what I've read.

Any reassurance for this frustrated lady?

[aggiebug]

dacora, hugs momma. It is tough right now but will be worth it when it clicks. You got this.

Sooo we got a free exersaucer from my cousin today and DD LOVES it. So glad I didn't have to buy one because now I can go ahead and get her a convertible car seat before we go on vacation. Also we worked out a clothes swapping situation once her DD (2 yrs old) grows out of her clothes they go to her BF DD (1Yr) and all of her clothes come to my DD. Along with toys, we almost scored a convertible car seat but we checked and it was recalled so she said she felt bad and gave me $50 towards a new one. She loves me..we used to be close like sisters but had a falling out and are working on a better relationship for our kids

Seemingly random question: what sort of cups would a child this age use? Our pediatrician said to start letting LO drink a couple tablespoons of water with fluoride from a cup...I don't know where to start.

Maybe a straw cup?
This Munchkin 360 cup gets some love on the BF board. I have a similar Avent one.
Or, you know, a regular cup that you hold for LO to drink. A couple tablespoons may not be enough for LO to be able to work a sippy or straw cup.

Also just found out the one of my male cousins is on the show Power

[lilyelayne]

dacora big hugs. You're doing what you need to help LO sleep. Just focus on the wins & the sleep she's been getting the past few days.

[dacora]

aggiebug, lilyelayne Thanks ladies, it's just so rough sometimes.

She slept for 30 minutes (better than nothing, and at least I don't feel like I didn't 'follow through') and is now all smiles, so I don't feel too terrible anymore.

[mrsclark731]

dacora, you can do it! Sleep training is hard, yo. If it was easy everyone would have a perfect sleeping/napping baby. I literally ordered myself earplugs today so I don't have to hear her CIO whilst my H is in charge.

He's also Barry on Madam Secretary... I'm going to kick his butt, I just saw him in April and was told none of this only info about him being in a play on Broadway. Well then.

I just bought the Munchkin cup last week. I'm hoping this may be our solution to DS refusing a bottle.

I went all Kronk on a fly and worked about as well. GET OUT OF MY HOUSE YOU BLASTED INSECT!

Keep me posted. I'm going to start letting DS play with BM in a cup more often. We tried for the first time last night. It's not like he's drinking what's in the freezer anyway.

Ahh It looks like his home was searched probably in relation to a former employees arrest for child porn.  Not indication he was arrested nor that they found any porn at his home.

Will do. It's in the dishwasher right now, but I plan on trying out soon.

This is exactly why I'd like to try to use a cup. I'd love to hear what happens as well!

I just bought the 360 cup. Hoping that it'll work for captain won't-take-a-bottle.

So I took DS into the meeting after having given him prune juice with his lunch. I really thought it would take half a day or so to take effect and still didn't completely believe it when you guys said an hour or so. WELL... we got 3/4 of the way through the meeting when DS does his allmighty pooping face and people start giggling. This was followed by that awkward silence, during which DS fills his diaper with an audible splash... and a very cloying, odd baby poop smell that just filled the poorly ventilated room. Not my proudest moment!!!

[junebugjam]

My baby rolled for the first time on the 4th, then once yesterday, but he seems to have really figured it out today. Woohoo baby!

I know we're late to the rolling game so I'm excited lol.

I know this was embarrassing but it was hilarious to read.

[dacora]

WittyLittle I'm picturing a bunch of serious people in suits at your meeting (this is probably incredibly inaccurate, but w/e) giggling over a baby pooping. Which has me giggling.
