QOTW: When was the last date you and your SO went on? What did you do? If it's been so long that you can't remember, then what date would you like to go on? How often do you and your SO get out sans the LO's?
I didn't check in last week, and then then the week got away from me.
On Friday my wife took R to his first dentist apt. There seems to be such a range for when to take them in for their first visit. Anyway I'm glad we went because his teeth were nasty my wife said. Like lots of gunk being scraped off. We've been brushing them since he was a year but apparently we were doing it wrong. The dentist said they looked great, despite the build up. He takes vitamins with iron and the iron is staining his teeth so that's what she was getting off. She said we should have been using toothpaste with fluoride, which I thought we weren't. She said to put the tiniest smear on the brush and brush up and down not circular motions like we do as adults. She also mentioned brushing right after nursing which would be interesting to do.
He is mimicking sounds that we make which is fun to do with him and keeps adding to his vocab. I can't think of any new milestones to report. He is enjoying testing his boundaries with us. He'll do something that he knows he shouldn't be and then looks to us to say something. We are working on sending the same consistent message to him.
QOTW: The last date we went on was in Feb. That's really embarrassing to admit. We have yet to find a sitter that isn't family. I hate always having to ask them to watch him even though I know they don't mind at all. So with that our next date is this Saturday. We are getting pedicures at a place that serves champagne and then we're going for tapas. I'm really looking forward to it. I think we may even go wild and try to squeeze in one more date before Moka arrives in 5 weeks.
I also did not check-in here last week and the week got away from me!
William is 13.5 months. He added two new words to his vocabulary this weekend "Hooray" and "Home." He was very proud of himself! He had his second haircut on Friday. I think it looks very cute, but he looks SOOO grownup! Too fast! We spent most of the weekend inside because it was just too hot to do anything outside. Saturday we ran some errands including the grocery store, and then had some family playtime at home in the afternoon. Sunday we went to a local mall and met my MIL. We had brunch, did a little shopping, walked around, and let Will play in the little play place there. Then in the later afternoon I cooked/baked some things for us for the week, which I was glad I actually did since I really didn't want to. I think we are approaching another growth spurt. Last night William went to bed pretty early for him (about 45 min before his usual bedtime), and he was just beside himself right before bed. He was exhausted! This phase with him remains super fun. He is more and more interactive everyday, and he has lots of new words and can follow more complex instructions now. It's very cool to watch him become such a neat little person. He has such a personality and really is a very funny kid. He is so much fun!
QOTW: When we were away on vacation in Myrtle Beach about a month ago, J and I went to the movies one afternoon while my in-laws watched William. That was our first actual "date" away from him since he was born. This coming weekend, we are actually going to a wedding, and J's cousin is watching William. It will be the longest stretch away from him, and the first time that we will be away for dinner and bedtime. I am really nervous, but also looking forward to it. Eek!
kh826, Good luck with the dinner/bedtime. I know you're nervous about it but it'll be good for him to get used to someone else doing it especially with the new baby.
So far we have only done it once. I never posted about it but it happened when I was 19 weeks along and got sent to the ER for what they thought was appendicitis. Luckily it was on a Friday when my niece was already at the house watching R. It was a HUGE wake up call for us that we need to make sure he goes down easy for someone when we go to have this baby because it was a disaster. Granted at the time R was nursing to sleep, and needed to be fully asleep before being transferred to the crib. Now our routine is nurse and put him in the crib while awake and he goes down on his own. I'm soooo nervous about what the hell is going to happen in 5 weeks when we for reals go to the hospital. I'm so hoping that we only have to do 1 night away from him and we've even talked about my wife running home at 2am which is when he has his wake-up and nurse session. Those boobs have such a strong hold on him, he loves them
Will seems like such an easy sleeper that I bet you'll have no problems with bedtime.

I hope you are right!
Our plan for when we eventually go to the hospital to have this baby is that William will say with my MIL, who will then bring him to the hospital (when appropriate) after baby is born. He LOVES his Nan. She is his favorite person in the world other than his moms, and I have no doubt that he will be just fine with her. He also knows her very well, is very comfortable with her (she has fed him, bathed, him and watched him solo before). So I am actually less worried about that.
Unfortunately, for this weekend, my in-laws will also be at the wedding we are going to, so J's cousin and her aunt will be watching William. He knows them both, but not super well (he doesn't see them weekly, like he does J's mom). I just worry since it is someone who is somewhat new who will be doing the bedtime routine that it might be difficult. We will find out, I guess!
Do you have family planning to say with R when you go to the hospital/birth center to have MoKa?

Hi! I guess I will come over here and play too since I was invited.
Some may not know, but we are finally in the end stages of getting our foster license. There are 14 month old twins that are a part of a 4 boy sibling set that are looking for a home. Their current home cannot keep them, because they have the older boys and 3 girls of their own, 7 kids is just too much for them. About a month ago, we had them so that the foster parents could take the older kids on a trip, two weeks ago we took them to my nephew's birthday party, and yesterday we had them again so that they could meet B's family. It makes me nervous how much I love these little beings in that short amount of time already.
Birth mom and dad had court last week, and both me and foster mama were there. They have another one in Oct, but there is no way that they will be returned at that point. So, the soonest (even though not likely) they would go back to their parents would be after the new year. As long as everything goes the way it looks like it will, we will hopefully have them in our home in about 2 weeks.
Last week twin #1 went to Urgent care because he was bleeding out of his mouth, and has since been to a pediatric dentist. Turns out it was an abscess on his gum. Poor guy! He has a mouth full of teeth currently, and has 6 more coming in right now as well.
It is so much fun to see how much they are changing between getting to see them, but it makes me sad that I am missing out on so much as well. We get them again in just 9 days for a whole weekend. I cannot wait!
G got invited to spend the night with a friend from camp next weekend - and C wasn't invited. I don't mind - they are their own person and should have their own friends - but C didn't realize that G and this friend are closer than he and this friend. He was pretty crushed. But L is going to be out of town next weekend so I have promised him a Mommy/C evening/morning where he can pick what we are going to do/where we will eat. Now, he is ecstatic. This will be the first time in 9y that they aren't sleeping under the same roof!
Saturday night was the first night in a year that both kids spent the night with a friend and L and I were kid free (they haven't been willing to spend the night with their BFF because the family has dogs and they have been terrified.) OF COURSE, DW was sick as a dog and felt miserable. She did rally to go to an early movie and dessert, but was home and in bed by 9. Before she got sick, I had grand plans to get a hotel room downtown and go see a show. I am hoping that now that the kids can co-exist with the dogs, they can spend the night there a few times/year so we can have an entire night to ourselves.
We do have regular 'date nights' since the kids can go to Parents Night Out 2x/month, but it is from 5-9 - so it is typically either dinner together or with friends and then errands. It isn't in a location where there is a lot around and we can't go far so we almost always go to the same restaurant.
My dream now is a long weekend away - where we could actually go somewhere.
She is overall doing well . I think she's pretty used to daycare but still not my schedule. Some nights if I work 3-11:30 L tucks her in without me, which I hate! But L says she does fine. She might ask for me but she gets sleepy and goes to bed. kh826- I'm sure William will be fine this weekend but I can relate. The one night we went to a wedding and didn't tuck her in, I must have texted L's parents a dozen times.
She is still saying more words. Yesterday when we left church she started to run over to the playground and said " fun !". I'm wondering if she picked that up at DC as I don't day that word a lot.
She is also testing limits. Today she kept going over to the oven and climbing on it. She uses the handle for the drawer below it as a foot stool and then puts her hands around the oven door. I said no and got her off it 3 times. When I say no she just laughs. She gets upset when I move her though but it doesn't deter her in the future. I'm seriously thinking about using time outs. I read somewhere you can do a version of them as early as 18 months.
Anyone here done timeouts ? Or any other ideas with disciplining a 17 month old?
Also, welcome shemarie82!!! I'm glad you posted here. It's great to hear more about those boys. I really hope you all get them soon!!!
QOTW-- last time was late April. We need to again soon!
She is also testing limits. Today she kept going over to the oven and climbing on it. She uses the handle for the drawer below it as a foot stool and then puts her hands around the oven door. I said no and got her off it 3 times. When I say no she just laughs. She gets upset when I move her though but it doesn't deter her in the future. ******TRAPPED IN THE BOX****** I seriously could have written that word-for-word. William's current jam is a cable beside the TV in the family room (we have no options to move it, and we have tried securing it 30475620 ways). We say "no" he laughs. Usually he says "no mama" back at us. We move him and he has a dramatic 15 second meltdown. 3 minutes later he is right back at the darn wire. It's hard not to laugh at him at times because he looks at us with this grin on his face as he is about to touch the wire, and then he laughs and says "no mama" when we try to verbally redirect him. Then when we move him physically, he cries this horribly fake cry and throws his little self down on the ground in a "woe is me" type of fashion with his head on the carpet. It lasts for all of 15 seconds where he is just totally beside himself and then he just moves onto the next thing as if nothing happened. This kid could win an academy award, I'm telling you. Anyway, he is only 13.5 months, and I'm pretty sure the time-out concept would go right over his dramatic little head at this point. We have no other ideas though. Sometimes it is frustrating, but most of the time it is hysterical and we have to work really hard not to laugh.

Kudos to those of you that can find humor in these situations. At 2 years, 4 months, we have no sense of humor left. It's 100% infuriating and drives us nuts. We've resorted to something that I never thought I'd ever do with my kid (and it's a bit embarrassing to admit); we do time outs with physical restraint. The idea of getting our kid to sit in one place for more than 5 seconds for something he ENJOYS is laughable. A time out? Effing forget it. So what we have to do is physically remove him from the space and go into a quiet and dark room. He sits in our lap facing outward, and we hold on to his arms, keeping him in place. Then we do the whole typical talking through what he did wrong (typically not listening, hitting, or often both). Then we ask him if he understands why he is in time out, and wait for him to tell us he does. Then it's over. This next part is his own idea, after we put him down from our lap he looks at whoever just gave the timeout and says "I'm going to go tell Mama/Mommy!" And then he runs out and tells the other one that he just got a time out. And she will ask why, and he will tell her what he did wrong. That part is actually really cute. The physical restraint part? Makes me sick to my stomach every time. I mean, it's not like I'm pinning down a squirming, kicking child against his will - that's not it at all. It's just more the fact that I'm having to discipline a kid without being able to handle it 100% verbally in a calm manner. That's what I studied up on, and that's what I prepared for, and in the end that is just NOT who my kid is or what he responds to.
If anyone has any suggestions of alternate ways to deal with things, I'm all ears! And, for the record, when I say the time out may be due to not listening, I'm not talking about a situation where perhaps I've asked him to take his bowl to the kitchen or to please close the door or anything like that. These are situations where he is doing something potentially dangerous and we are doing everything we can to talk/coax him out of the behavior gently and his just refusing to comply (and also typically looking back at us while he does it, knowing it is wrong).
Well we've had another language explosion in our house and it's pretty hilarious. The other day he looked right at me and said, word for word "Put the phone down, Mommy, and use this!" And he handed me a broom. I laughed out loud. We've been hoping that with these developments in language, he might burst forth from his most recent crabby/defiant stage, and return to the sweeter and happier kid that he can often be. Well no such luck yet.
We've been establishing a small new tradition of Saturday morning Mommy/G swim time. We go down to the BIG gym (about 30 minutes away) and he goes to the Child Center while I take an Aqua class with the Blue Hairs. Then I go get him and he gets to swim/splash around in the giant kiddie area of the pool for an hour or so. Heaven. Then, even though I try to resist it every week, I typically splurge and buy us lunch to share at the gym Cafe and then head back home right around nap time. He falls asleep in the car and I transfer him to the crib when we get home. I feel badly that S misses all of Saturday morning with him (she is not on our gym membership), but she actually has seemed really grateful for the time alone to get caught up with work or run errands or just have time to herself. Not sure how many more weeks we'll be able to do this before Sticky Ricky arrives, but I'll do it as many times as I can.
In other news, G's bestie from daycare (and family) is moving to London for a year. I'm so sad. We really groove with his parents and the two kiddos are just SO similar. It's been really helpful to have other parents to talk through our frustrations with and compare notes, etc. I know the year will fly by, but I'm still sad about it. We met them at the playground on Sunday morning and got some great pics of the two of them together. I'll have to frame one for G's room.
QOTW: We've been fairly good about having date nights. I mean, we don't have anything set up on a regular basis, but if there's something that we want to do we will typically find a sitter and go do it. We've had a smattering of weddings, parties, concerts, etc. that we've attended. I think we last had a date night on our anniversary in June. Turns out, G goes down a LOT easier for anyone that isn't named Mommy. Not that he's bad with me, it's just a process and it takes a while to get through all the steps (diaper, jammies, brush teeth, medicine, night-nights to the animals, go upstairs and read exactly 3 books, sing songs and rock, tuck in). Typically a 30-45 minute process from start to finish.
Anyway, for our Anniversary my Mom was in town and she watched G. We went to dinner and then took a long walk through downtown. We stopped at a bar to watch the end of one of the World Cup matches, then went to a coffee/wine bar that we like for dessert. We tried to NOT talk about G or the pregnancy at all. We did pretty well with that, but ended up talking about work instead. Blah. Next time, I'd like to go to a real live movie, in a real live theater!
jgy - first of all, I think you and S are wonderful parents. I think the fact that you know what your child needs in terms of how to structure constructive discipline and you provide it in the best way that you can for everyone is a great accomplishment. I know it probably doesn't feel like an accomplishment right now, but it sounds like you are doing a really good job. I would think of what you described as less of "time out with physical restraint" and more of taking a calm moment with physical support from mom (like a hug - lot's of kids need to feel physical pressure for things... I think of those weighted blankets for instances like that) in order to regroup and then discuss what he needs to work on to improve his behavior in the future. That might sound like too rosey of an outlook, but honestly it sounds like it is working for him, and that is what is most important.
Also, this just started with us, and right now at 13 months, his defiance is still "cute" and we haven't had a lot of issues that are true dangers as of yet. I am sure in 1.5 yrs if we are in a similar spot to where you are (which seems totally possible to me considering my high spirited child), it will no longer be cute or funny and we will be at our wits end.
So, the kudos should go to you, friend. ALL the kudos!
Thanks, kh826. I appreciate your kindness. I do know that what we are doing is a "Safe" way to remove G from physical danger and that he seems to respond well to it. It just feels like total $hit when I'm doing it.
In a year and a half if you are dealing with this stuff too, we'll meet somewhere in between PA and MN and the drinks will be on me, friend!

I am terrible at checking in here. DS is 13 years old, and does all the stereotypical 13-year-old boy things; play sports, look at girls, hang out and play video games and roll his eyes.
QOTW: since DS is older it's a lot easier for us to be able to go out together, we go on a date 3-4 times a month but it isn't always actually going out somewhere, sometimes we plan a movie night and just steal an hour and go out for ice cream.
We are actually planning on making one of these soon....
Thanks kh826 and jgy!! It's good to know we are not alone. I like the idea of sitting with her in a quiet room, jgy. I don't think we are at the point where we can really talk through things. Although she understands a lot so maybe we can do a version of this. And I'm fine with letting little things go. Like her throwing food or something. She does hit me sometimes when I'm holding her, so I just put her down and she doesn't like that. I should work on the food throwing too but I'm going to focus on the big things for now: climbing on the oven, climbing over the couch ( haven't let this happen but she tries ), and pretty much climbing in anything taller than a seat.
I am also very against being forceful with her. But I've had to a few times lately just to get her in the car seat. I hate it. I can't quite reason with her. Hopefully it will be better in a few months, at least the ability to communicate, but I'm sure the tantrums will only get worse!

@mahler I think I did time outs which were like a three step process: stop, sit and redirect around 18 months. DS was a climber too and got himself into all kinds of positions that make me uncomfortable.
jgy Honestly, I totally relate, DS's tantrums were very similar; something that helped was a weighted blanket...like kh826 mentioned. (http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidhochman/2014/04/25/weighted-blanket-can-help-more-than-just-sleep-problems/). To be honest, sometimes I sat there and cried. Even now, DS is the kind of kid who needs to blow off physical steam when he's got the feels. When he was about 3 we started going for a short walk as a time out and now he runs for fun but also to burn off some of that physical energy.
kh826, mahler5, I recommend finding a discipline book that you like and giving it a read. I started reading them when R turned 1 and they are actually full of great insight. I get them from the library that way if I'm not on board with the info, I can return it no loss.
One that I liked talked about reinforcement. Meaning it will take 200 times for your child to understand not to do something. And then when you take that same situation and move it to another location outside the house, it'll take another 200 times. It just how their little brains are wired. At R's age, they do not recommend any discipline other than removing the child from the situation and saying do not touch.... or what ever your statement is. R has this habit of standing on top of his table and chair set. I give him 3 tries to not do it then I take the chair away. Same goes with standing in the bathtub, 3 chances then I drain the water and you're out. While right now he doesn't completely understand what I am doing, if we are consistent and with time he will catch on that he only gets 3 chances to mess up then he has to face the consequences of his actions.
jgy, We will soon be heading to the time out chair when I feel like it'll do more good than drive me insane. lol. I have no problem with restraint until he reaches an age where he can learn to control his body and emotions better.
karlamo, oh yeah we do a lot of other things before we hit time out. We try to talk him out of the behavior, we give him choices of acceptable alternatives, we give a countdown, all those things. There are a few things that will go straight to time out, but only a very few and he's well aware of what those are.
It's so clear that most of the naughtiness is due to not being able to control impulses. Some of it is testing boundaries, sure, but a lot of it is just "MY ENTIRE BODY IS TELLING ME TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW!!!!" kind of stuff. I feel for the kid, but at the same time it's our job to keep him and the rest of our home safe.
wittyandwaiting, I will check out the blanket, thanks! And I LOVE the date-night jar!
In one of the books I read it said that at this age group, kid's don't personalize it and think you the parent are being mean for not letting them do something. They only have a one track mind, which is I want to play with wires and I can't, but I realllly want to play with wires. When I get to be at the 2brides, wittyandwaiting, point in child rearing I'm sure my kids will learn to hate me.
Anyone on here care to share why their child is crying?
R was mad I wouldn't let him play/eat the cat litter. Meanie mom:)
R wanted to be held, then when I held him, he wanted to be down.

karlamo, DS jokingly called me president of the mean mom's club; I look at him now and see what a kind, caring, compassionate well-rounded kid he is and can't help but think that all that time spent teaching him how to appropriately feel his feels helped him get there.

I've read a few discipline books but it's been awhile and a lot of it hasn't applied until recently. I don't really want to do a time out but I have read that modified forms are fine at 18 months, so in a month. Like putting her on the other side of a baby gate where she can see you. I've even read some are ok at 12 months but I'm not sure I agree. The problem is the stove is really dangerous and I really want her to know right away to stay off of it etc. And she just laughs at me and keeps climbing. I've stopped using the outer burners and pretty much am afraid to use the oven too as I'm afraid she will pull the door open. And I don't think I can baby proof an oven door. So , I'm just trying to figure out a way to get through to her that it's unacceptable . I cant really block off the kitchen either at this point. She would just climb over anything.
The info about reinforcement is good. I'll try to keep that in mind when I tell her no the 150th time.
Thanks! That will solve part of the problem! Maybe in a year I can start using my stove top again.
LOL. This morning my wife and I said we look forward to the day when we can have our toilet paper back on the holder. Right now R thinks it's fun to unravel it, destroy it into a million tiny pieces and then put those pieces in our shower.

Yes!!!! This is why G's potty is in the living room. We have one of those little seat things that goes on the real toilet, but we can't use it because it becomes a 10 minute battle about the appropriate use of toilet paper.

C does this too! And sometimes I just let her play with a almost done roll because that is easier for me to deal with. L is not on the same page as me with this though!
When I get to be at the 2brides, wittyandwaiting, point in child rearing I'm sure my kids will learn to hate me.
LOL. No, they won't. We spent a lot of time redirecting, saying "no", putting in time out when they were that age.
We have a very open floorplan in our house and it would have been a constant battle to keep them safe so we created a fenced in area in our living room where they could hang out and not destroy themselves/our house (we also had to separate them from our old/blind/deaf dog.) It cut back on saying "no" as much (though we did!) And when they were out and about, we put locks on the bathroom doors (to save the TP and keep them safe from stuff under the counters/toilet.), put locks on drawers they should be in, etc.
But sometimes redirection doesn't work and time out is needed. No toddler will willingly hang out in timeout so you have to put them back in timeout 1001x times. We used the stair in our house and would sit the kid down - he would pop up - we would sit him down - he would pop up. Over and over again until he sat for the full time (1m per year.) We would be totally emotionless, but spell it out - " I asked you to stop ABC and you did not. You need to sit here for 2 minutes. I will set the timer. When the timer goes off you make get up and come talk to me." And we reset the timer every time he popped up. It takes a looooooong time, but eventually they get it. And then they get it and time out doesn't work and you have to find a new tactic.

Ok help! Teething?!?! We've tried baby orajel, cold wash cloth, mesh feeder with cold food and frozen juice. Tylenol seems to be all that helps but I don't want to give that to him all the time. Any other suggestions? Feeding is now hard and he isn't eating much. Waking up a TON and crying with hands in mouth.
