Amy, that's such sad news, i'm sorry. xxx

Maybe, hope your friend's husband is ok! xx

 

[Sarahwoo]

Maybe does he feed in the day? I found it pretty easy to get Oliver down to just night time, just by distracting him really. If he asks during the day I just say no, because we only have boo boo in bed now, shall we get some juice? And he's usually happy with that. Sometimes complains a bit but he knows the rules

Oliver had one of 'those' days today. He was messing about this morning and just out of no where bit my arm! Really hard too, almost broke the skin and it's turned into a huge bruise! He's never, ever done anything like that before! It really hurt, I shouted at him (i dont normally shout at hjm but i had no idea what to do! It was a raised voice rather than a scream lol!) and showed him what he's done and told him I didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he started crying and he was just sat there sobbing saying I'm sorry mummy, I'm sorry! Bless him. So we had a good chat about why we don't bite and hurt people and how it was very naughty, then he offered to kiss it better When Steve got up he asked him if he'd been a good boy and he said 'no daddy, I've been a naughty boy, I bit mummy' and started crying again and then said 'I love mummy' which nearly set me off We had a big cuddle and he cheered up. He let me trim his hair too so I think he really felt bad

Do toddlers learn naughty behaviour from other toddlers? I don't know if it's just me been silly but Oliver has done a few things in the past week that he doesn't too normally (biting and throwing things when he doesn't get his own way). Both these things my friends little girl was doing when we went over last week. Oliver saw her get told off etc but could he have picked up the idea? Or is this just a stage they all go through?

 

[emera35]

Oh bless Oliver, how sweet! He could easily be trying out things he's seen other children do, and they go through phases too. I know Roh copies F all the time, so i don't see why it would be different with another toddler. I think you handled it really well anyway xx

 

[emera35]

Oh, and regards the bf, i imagine its no different to a dummy, which Roh has. He often asks for it in the day, but i always say no, and he always says "dummy just for sleeping mummy" after, so he knows, he's just trying his luck! Obviously its not exactly the same, but i have to be strict with Roh and some times he throws a tantrum about not having his dummy, even though he knows the rules!

 

[Sarahwoo]

I wonder if he is copying then? Hmmm that's not good It helps that he really totally understands when I talk to him and tell him why we don't do whatever. I really hope he snaps out of it soon!

Also, I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing with disipline. If he does something naughty I sit him down and tell him why what ever he did was naughty, and why we don't do it. Then he says sorry for doing what ever, we have a cuddle, and that's the end of it. We don't do time out. Today (honestly I was ready to open a bottle of wine by bedtime ) he seemed to be not really listening and just saying sorry so he could have his cuddle and go play. Do I just keep doing what I'm doing is there a 'step 2' that I could use if he's not taking my normal method seriously?

 

[Sarahwoo]

Emera Roh sounds the same with his dummy as Oliver us with his boo boo Since I stopped day feeds though the little rascle never wants to get up, it's like he wants to make the most of it while he can

 

[maybebaby3]

Sarah - biting can be copied behaviour. It's good he realized its wrong tho!! Owen bf morning and night. Sometimes in between but since my bfp I've been trying to be strict with it being just those set times

 

[maybebaby3]

Ugh Danny's given me his cold and I feel like poo! now to go to work! Too much to do to be off sick!!!

 

[hope&faith09]

How are things going maybe?

How is everyone?

Are you all enjoying the snow? I am finding it a bit of a nightmare ... we are confined to the house as there is no way we can get the car out and Eva is in a foul mood today, she seems super hungry today after having a really good day yesterday. Right I best go and do some tidying up whilst we are stuck in the house.

 

[maybebaby3]

Things are good apart from the cold germs going round I'm feeling crappy and can't take anything whereas Dan can knock himself out with painkillers!

I'm going for a private scan a week on Monday. After that i will tell work if all is ok. I'm nauseous all the time

 

[muddles]

H&F hope you have managed to get out and about now. I hate being stuck in the house. My buggy is great in snow (my one I had with O was crap!) but can't use it with a buggy board in snow as the wheels on the board are rubbish on normal ground

Sarah that's good he realises it is wrong. We do two chances then he is told that if he does something a third time then he goes to the naughty spot. O loves to push it and will often look at me and do the same thing again then is devastated when i follow through with the naughty spot and sits there sobbing and saying sorry mummy, sorry mummy. I hate it and just want to go and scoop him up and cuddle him. I have noticed his behaviour is much worse when he is tired.

Maybe hope you are feeling better soon. Hot ribena helped me when I had flu when pregnant with O. Can you drink warm honey and lemon when pregnant? How is your friend's husband now?

[maybebaby3]

Muddles - hope k has a great christening day! Cute outfit! Love it!

H&f - hope you're able to get out and about soon!

 

[emera35]

Muddles, hope the christening goes off well!

H&F, hope you got out, we've been out in the snow lots, but today the pavements are just so icy, even with my sow boots and spikes, it was too slippy! As i only have a stroller i have to have F on my back, which i just didn't want to risk!

Also, F has hand, foot and mouth, so really shouldn't take her out too much until she's feeling better!

 

[maybebaby3]

Emera hope f is better soon xx

 

[emera35]

She's fine really, cheerful most the time, just not eating well as the ulcers are hurting her and she has the blisters all in her nappy area too which looks sore. Her temp spikes on and off too, so I just have to keep an eye really. She'll be over it soon I'm sure.

 

[muddles]

Oh no Emera poor F. Hope she is better very soon.

Christening went well and although a few people cancelled because of the snow most were able to make it and it was a lovely afternoon. K fell asleep on the 2 min drive between church and pub then slept in the corner in her car seat for about 1/2 hour and every single time I looked at O he was at the food tables helping himself to more, I dread to think how many little cocktail sausages and biscuits and bits of cake that he had I have added a pic of K and O on Fb

Have you all got snow? Our main roads are ok here bit slushy and probably will go icy but anything that's not a main road is totally covered and a nightmare to try and drive on. Most school will be closed here tomorrow.

 

[maybebaby3]

Muddles I'm glad the christening went well oh I forgot to say my friends hubby is still in hospital but recovering. He's been very lucky.

 

[Sarahwoo]

Muddles I'm glad you all had a good day yesterday!

We have loads of snow today and a whole lot more forecast for tomorrow, I'm hoping my ocado delivery makes it through, haha!

 

[emera35]

I've finally got my Sainsburys delivery, 4 days late Annoying, i've been to work 3 times since then and all the deliveries there arrived. It annoys me how everything grinds to a halt for 16cm of snow!! Its all going to slush here now, although the forecast says more snow overnight here.

 

[Sarahwoo]

4 days! Urgh, I hope I have more luck! If it doesn't come tomorrow I'll just cancel it, Steve is off on Wednesday so we can just go to the supermarket then
