I get by because Santa brings the big present. Since I told them that Santa won't bring the big present unless they believe they will believe until they are 25. It's more for me then them. Lol they still believe in the tooth fairy too but lately it takes her days to get to our house. I guess she is so tired in the evenings that she forgets lol. My dd wanted to send a letter to her boss and tell them what a crappy job the tooth fairy does lmao. I have the same problem with ds. He always forgets his planner or spelling list. I started taking away video/tv time for a week everytime he forgets it and that helps.

Well, he didn't really forget to write down his assignments, he said "He didn't have time". He told me he didn't want Grandma to be mad because he was late. I told him that wasn't an excuse and Grandma would not be mad if he was late getting out of school because he was writing down his assignments. We have to sign everyday that they did their homework and I told him that I wasn't sure I should sign because I didn't really know what he was supposed to be doing. He was so upset because that means that he would miss part of recess. Plus he told me there was a skating party last night and I told him he couldn't go until he did his homework and since I didn't know what that was that he may not get to go. come to find out the skating party is next week I think that evening traumatized him enough that he will take the time to write down his assignments now My mom just laughed at me as said to get used to it, it is a boy thing.

Good thing I only have a two year old. I can get him a bunch of $5-10 presents and make it look like a huge like of presents from Santa lol! We will have to forgo any of the. It gifts this year. And I won't be able to make my famous Xmas cookies and candy this year. I do it every year and give to family and friends as gifts. Its so fun to do. Ah well, there's always next year.

Twinkie it is a boy thing because reading your post was like a peak into our nights. Ds was in tears this am because he forgot his book and I can't sign it so he misses all of recess. Lol my favorite line was the teacher is supposed to put it in my bag.

Moter... You are lucky with such a young one. Every year the kids have gotten a big gift. Last year dd got a horse. Me and seller arranged it so the papers show it being transferred from Santa. And dd got a go cart. This year she's getting a pandora bracelets with 3 charms and I have no idea what to get him as my mom got him a 3ds. I refuse to buy toys. Was going to get him the complete adventuretime series on DVD but only season 1 is available. Lol so bummed

 

[moter98]

I've heard that it gets so much harder to buy gifts as they get older. Cause everything they want costs an rm and a leg. My 15 year old nephew has asked for an iPhone, an iPod touch, a gaming system etc every year from us. We end up giving $50 cash cause he won't like any gift we get him that would cost that much.

 

[Twinkie210]

Mail- it is a boy thing, because the first thing DH said was isn't his teacher supposed to check his book to make sure he wrote down his assignments? I was like it is NOT his teacher's fault, he is going to be 9 he knows he needs to write down his assignments! Of course he wasn't blaming the teacher, but I think it is even common for the "big" boys to have an excuse! LOL Wow I want Santa to leave me a gift at your house! We buy a couple things from me and DH, usually a few clothes or a pair of shoes, maybe a board game and a present from his list (recently it has been a video game). Then Santa brings the anything else, which is usually more video games and things like nerf guns and actions figures. I don't know what all we are going to do this year. Every year I go overboard with the gifts and half of them never get played with, so I told DH that we are not buying anything unless it is on his list, LOL. I cleaned out DS's room a couple months ago and litterally threw away trash bags full of toys that were missing pieces so couldn't be donated, but maybe got played with once or twice. It is such a waste and now that we will have two I won't have the same kind of money to spend! DS is pretty easy going and doesn't act too spoiled, considereing he has been an only child/grandchild (on my side) for 9 years! Hopefully he isn't too disappointed this Christmas!

Moter- You are lucky that DS can't tell the value and is small enough not to have a bunch of stuff on his list. Just wait a couple more years he will sit down with the toy book and you will mentally see your bank account falling I also love the age when they start noticing all the commercials, LOL. There were a couple years that he wanted everything from every commercial, even some baby toys and girl toys

Haha Twinkie! I will enjoy it while I can. My mom said that when we were little she would give a toys sales flyer and ask us to circle what we wanted. We circled everything hahaha!

DS did that once too He even circled the girl toys!

 

[Twinkie210]

Poor little guy he has some violent hiccups right now and even though I know they say it doesn't bother them, he is kicking and punching like crazy!

Just got home from the dr. First thing he says to me is "you look tired". you think? i've only been stressing and worrying for a week lol! went well though. dr. said i'm doing the right thing being on bedrest and then doing modified bedrest after that. he could not tell me the size of the tear, but i do know now that there wasn't a clot (good), it is a small tear and blood around it. he said good news is that the placenta is so big relative to the tear. he also said it's good news that i've not been bleeding. the ones that bleed continuously are they ones he really worries about a full tear and preterm labor. he also said that it is not normal at all to have bleeding in second tri, but as of now, things are looking good. AND, i asked for a scan next week and he said that's a good idea! someone from ultrasound will be calling me to set up a time for next week. i am so relieved. he was very nice today and back to the dr i always liked. feel much more optimistic now.

 

[Twinkie210]

Moter- so glad everything went well. My Dr. said the same thing about 2nd/3rd tri bleeding, but luckily the reason doesn't always meen the worst case! Let us know about the ultrasound!

 

[moter98]

I will for sure. will be waiting impatiently here, but at least i won't have to wait longer than a week. very happy with my dr today!

 

[Twinkie210]

I am excited, I just talked to my sister and her Dr. is starting fertility testing for her. They have been TTC for over a year now. She has really regular cycles (like exactly 28/29 days and a normal 14 day LP) so he is going to check her progesterone just in case, but he thinks it will come out fine. Her husband is going to have a SA done (which I think may be the problem, he is a very sickly person and doesn't have the best health habits). If those test come back fine he said they would start with a HSG. I am excited for her, I can't wait to be an aunt again!

 

[moter98]

good to hear twinkie! hopefully they find an easy fix for her.

my scan is scheduled for wed at 1. only 5 days to wait!

i won't quit worrying till i'm holding my healthy baby boy in my arms! but......my stress level is down now and i'm feeling much more optimistic.

 

[Twinkie210]

OK, well that is true, none of us will completely quit worrying until we have healthy babies in our arms, but I am glad you are feeling more optimistic

 

[mailcmm]

Great news all around! Loving today. Congrats on the scan moter. And i hooe they find something fixable for your sister twinkie. Afm...My dear friend from school is coming to visit with her baby and mom tomorrow. Mom is from Thailand and made me 200 spring rolls. So excited. Can't wait to eat them.

My kids do lists for Xmas. Never wanted to give em a book as I would wind up buying it all. Lol I get them small stuff but Santa always brings one big present. They don't get it all either. As for commercials.... My son was the funniest. He would memorize infomercials. One day on the way to kindergarten he's says to me... Mom you have to get the green bags. If you don't get the green bags you are throwing your money in the trash. Did you know they keep grass from growing on your vegetables? I nearly died laughing. Then one day at Walgreens he comes up with a tube of putty and says mom mom did you know with this stuff you can fix anything? Lol cashier nearly choked. He's always been the funny one.
