Miss Avalynn’s new toddler bedroom😍

Utensils

So my son is in speech therapy and today I was told that he is very developmentally behind because he doesn't use utensils, won't drink from a cup (will only drink from great value water bottles, yes only great value and it has to be cold) and relies on me for everything and idk what to do. I never saw a problem with it until the therapist brought it up, she said I need to let him be independent but like he has sensory issues so he doesn't like getting dirty, he has no interest in the utensils even if I help him. Help bc I don't know where to start, I always figured he would just do stuff on his own when he starts talking and I can tell him that he needs to do it on his own.

Just a Boy in his Jammies….at the Farm

What shenanigans are your tornado toddlers up to? Our most recent has been insisting on going to the farm with dad to work, but didn’t have time to change so, jammies and boots it was 🤷🏻‍♀️😅O

Working full time! 🤔

I am curious! How many of you mums work full time hours and have your child in daycare full time? I feel awful every day for working full time and having my daughter away from me but in another sense I am showing her good work ethic and she can have an amazing childhood. My childhood was full of debts and we once didn’t have enough money for food so had to steal potatoes out a farmers field!! We lived on eggs and chips for weeks. We didn’t have a pot to piss in as the saying goes but my daughters upbringing is completely different! My job pays very well. Anyways, I have weekends free with her but is this common or should I be looking for a part time job instead?! I do miss her dearly! But love my job. Obviously I love my daughter more than my job but I work to be able to provide for her. Everything I do is for her. There’s also no option to drop my hours as I’ve already asked. I may also put in that the daycare is amazing and she is very ahead with her speech for her age and is confident. So she isn’t lagging behind in that sense which is a positive!

The tantrums... OMG

Someone has replaced my sweet boy with a tantrum monster. Anyone else? I know it's developmental, and it will pass, but OMG. It's hard to deal with.

Calling out for me at night

Anyone else’s 2 year old calling for you to come back into the room before falling asleep and throughout the night? Mine wakes constantly asking me to come in and fix her blanket. Maybe separation anxiety? I am at a loss I don’t know what to do, she used to be a great sleeper. Help!

Potty training boys underwear

I wasn't planning on trying potty training for a few months since we tried last week and it didn't go well. Today he decided he wantrd to use the toilet and he ended up doing great. Had a few accidents but made so much progress. I've started looking at underwear.. I honestly don't know what type I should buy. Should I buy regular or should I get the training underwear?? I'm at a lost lol is there any brands people recommed?? I want something comfy and soft.

Look another potty training post

Alright to start with we loosly potty trained for pee. But we just really do it before nap and bed time. She's great she pees within a couple seconds she knows what to do. We have pooped on the potty a few times. I always saw that there was these signs to show they're ready. Like hiding to poop, being uncomfortable in diapers with peed or pooped . Being dry for longer amounts of time or dry from naps. My daughter doesn't seem to care. She wouldn't even get upset about a diaper being full or anything her whole first year. Only knew she pooped because of smell lol. Is any body else following signs to know they're ready or do you just go for it ?Trying to figure out if I should book a few days off to do a method!

Potty Training

I started potty training on Saturday. For the first half of the day Saturday, all day Sunday, and all day Monday we did no pants potty training method. She did AWESOME! She had zero accidents, got up and went pee on her training potty unprompted every time, she pooped each day on the potty which is a huge win bc in diapers she’s been holding in her poop and having like 10 skid mark diapers a day. So my issue is - twice yesterday we put pants on her and both times she had an accident. I know she knows when she has to go - bc without pants she had 0 accidents for 3 days. So do we just keep her pants less longer? Or keep putting her in the pants and she will figure out like oh this feels gross I need to take my pants off to pee. Another issue is this morning my mother in law attempted to put pants on her and I guess she refused to wear them 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 any advice is much appreciated!

Sleeping routine

What are your schedules? wake up, naps and bedtime?How do you put your child to sleep? Rock? Walk out? She was such a good baby for going to bed on her own. Now I’m laying in there on the floor for 1-2 hrs. I can’t do it anymore. My “me” time is laying there.. Send help🤯

Potty training

We are on day 2 of potty training, day 1 was not good lol he did not pee in the potty once! Every time he would start peeing I would put him on the potty right away but he stops and now I think he's holding in his poop. Any tips? He showed all signs of readiness before we started.

Potty training

Ok we’re coming up on 2 1/2 years old soon and I think it’s time to really try potty training again, we’ve tried a few times before thinking she was ready but never worked out, we’re on day 2 so far it is not going as well as day one. Peeing in the potty has been much easier than pooping on the potty, she likes to hide and squat when she poops so being on the potty is giving her some anxiety it seems when trying to poop, not giving up until I feel like she’s more comfortable since she’s able to pee in the potty.

Potty Talk 💩

Anyone else’s child LOVE potty talk?!? I did not expect it to happen this soon but omg… kind of hilarious though bc he will changed the words of songs to pop poo. His latest is baby shark poo poo poo… but please tell me I’m not the only one?!My husband and I don’t really say anything about it. It doesn’t bother me so much (unless he yells out someone public like he did tonight 🥴) but it’s a big no no for his cousins to do it and I think trying to get him to not say it around them so they don’t get in trouble has made it worse 🙈

Is it just me or

Do all grandparents just want to shove juice (and tea?) down my 2 year old’s throat??

Merry Christmas 🎄

Big Sister Finally

We have been trying to conceive since she was around 10 months - finally our August 2019 baby gets to be a big sister! After about 7 failed rounds of clomid and one cycle with a double IUI we are expecting again!

Constantly sick

My daughter got a cold or bug back around Nov 12… since then she has had a runny nose, sometimes a cough but never a fever. I’ve begged for a medication just to see if that helped and of course it didn’t. Anyone else’s little just a faucet with their nose?! Poor girl is always blowing her nose and i just feel terrible!
