Mother of all conception months Graduates

Lol both my kids play with my hair as well! PB what make is yours? My mum has a fixed one he can open :dohh: but I'm going to go to the married Quarters store tomorrow and see what they've got lol. I do want to find one as I'm worried he'll get out the house one day! (if he could he would, he made a run for it a couple of days ago) he has no fear about being away from me!
 
ha ha yeah honestly the only day he hasnt totally wrecked my hair in some way was my wedding day! i was amazed lol he is starting to cuddle one of my old jumpers now so doesnt hang off my hair as much any more but secretly i love it when he does lol

cant imagine having two babies hanging off my hair lol

eeek dare getting close for you now! sequeena following closely behind then like 2 weeks later it should hopefully be me! then it will officially be a parenting thread!

it totally sucks that there are still ladies on the conception thread, would love more to move over :)
 
I think it's this one: https://www.toysrus.co.uk/Babies-R-...-MultiDan-Metal-Extending-Safety-Gate(0065077)
 
I've just cleaned my bathroom and my kitchen floor and scrubbed my cooker......I'm sad but I might as well get the boring cleaning out of the way!

Plus I have my friend coming over and don't want her to see it as a tip even youth she is use to it when I was pregnant and had no enegy! Oh my god it's dawned on me I have two kids!!

Pink Caleb had started pulling my hair then rubbing his face in it if he is on my shoulder,I love the thought of it and thinks it's cute but I hate other people touching my hair hence why I try and do it!

The tiredness is creeping again so I might go to bed

Xx
 
So tired......and a bit resentful. Byron woke us up again in the night so DH went in with him. It woke Indigo so I fed her about half 3 then again (twice) at half 6 and haven't been able to sleep since. The boys only just awoke. :cry:

Action packed day today - tile cleaning, sealant and cleaning the bathroom while awaiting all my new storage boxes to be delivered. This afternoon we might go to a steam railway if we have time.
 
Oh no poor you pb for a sleepless night! Maybe try for an early night tonight or a nap sometime today
Do you do all the DIY in your house?

I feel rather tied I think getting up early all weekend has caught up with me! I've go cleaning up to do as well before my friend comes round! Think it's raining here again so will be a day in again! Wish we lived near to indoor interesting places

X
 
Wow you really are super mum pb! And I would of opted to smashing the tiles off so much more fun lol! I start DIY jobs then my OH or dad get annoyed coz most of time it's wrong so they have to do it but it gets done lol

Xx
 
We have just replacing gross ancient feature tiles so getting them off was super fiddly, not a fun job at all! I'm much more handy than DH. He is a smooth handed writer whereas I'm a brute. :lol:
 
Morning all!

i think the tiredness is catching up with me too, i wouldnt say its the night feeds(as Bailey doesnt have them now) but just the early morning feeds, 5am is his favoured time at the mo.:dohh:
I sat on the couch with him at 6.30 and nodded off, i should be doing loads but just feel too tired lol!!.
 
aw sorry to all my mummies with lack of sleep, i used to have that same resentment when dh was snuggled up warm and i was up at 6am after getting to bed at midnight and feeding at 4

having a nightmare morning with leo is he obviously in one of his moods, he is being very violent today he woke up and slapped dh so was put straight in his corner every time i went to get him out he bit, slapped, head buttedor kicked, in the end he was in there for 45 mins even my are you not even wanting to behave so you can have breakfast trick didnt even work. only on here now because he is back in his naughty chair again. he just gets used to any punishment i givehim it totally doesnt bother him! every time i went in there this morning i was going leo you were put in your naughty chair . . kick bye bye mumma he would say! every time! kick or slap bye bye mumma! he just doesnt learn . . . . need another plan of attack

i have just started trying the whole praising when he is behaving well and making sure he has lotsof things to do but again it totally doesnt work at the mo, i keep saying isnt much nicer to be having fun than being sat in your naughty chair, mummy is so proud of you beinga good boy oh look at what you made blah blah blah but then 5 mins later of being told no busicuits or something phwack

anyway if anyone has any really good ideas of how i can encourage good behaviour other than what i have already done please offer it up! i am thinking reward charts but he is only 2.5 and everywhere i look they always seem to be more suitable for much older children . . . .

anyway best go he has been in his corner 3 mins extra, at least mummy is slightly more calm now
 
Madcat, Alex and Bailey must think alike because Alex likes the 5am feed as well.

Nomore, I'm literally holding him all the time unless I'm eating, lol! He's a spoiled wee man!

So, strangeness.....we had two leaky nappies (pee) last night. :shrug: I tried the next size up nappy and it leaked too. I didn't know a little man could pee so much!!!! lol!
 
nomore from what i know of the super nanny methods is consistancy always use the same method, once theincident is over and sorrys have been done don't mention bad behaviour. She always makes her own charts (or a crew member does). maybe just collect magnets on your fridge as a rewards chart. I havealso seen her reduce toys to say 5 and as they are naughty they get removed then have to earn them back. i seem to remember you said he loves a bath make that a privaledge.

gah not abad night on the abby front wish i could adapt to it to. she was asleep by 8.30pm her last feed was 6.20pm) woke at 1.30 ish then again at 5.30. I have nasty crampypain in my pelvic region so can barley walk she was so goo and stayed quiet withher dummy til 1030 when i realisedi had to moveshed be starving.

does anyone elseat their baby and see themself staring back?
 
ozzie willy pointing down? i believe tucking back is the trick if you've not already mastered it. I didn't realise i had folded over the top of abbs nappy yesterday took her out her bouncy chair and shes soaked through whoops
 
Nomore, i have to admit i do feel that resentment at 5 or 6 am, on weekends at least when DH snoozes on till 8 or 9 am!:baby::growlmad:
 
kick him out cat, i now consider that during the working week matt gets atleast 7 hours sleep solid slepp usually not up for an hour feeding changing and snuggling a baby he can damn well go without on his days off. and yes i can go straight back to sleep once he has her lol
 
:hugs: nomore. He may just be acting up in preparation for the baby l, Byron did the same. It doesn't really help with the now but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel after he's adjusted. When Byron's naughty we try and act in a way relevant to what he's done. So, say he is throwing toys, we take them away. If he is being too rough with indigo and ignoring us we move him away. If it's something more abstract like seriously messing at meal time we threaten to take him to his room, which is usually enough, or do take him if it's not. We always praise his good behaviour and tell each other in front of him how good he's been that day. We bribe (sorry but we do!) so puddings are on condition of eating sufficient tea; new toys we've got often come with conditions if he's been naughty. Most times it's because he's tired really so we try to structure the day to allow for sleep and at the right times. He's always generally been quite good so I don't know about strategies for more difficult behaviour.

Well I've done my grouting and sealant. I am shit at sealant so it's lumpy and crap which I annoying but I don't know how to make it decent. I can do decorators caulk just fine because I smooth with my finger but have to use a tool on the nasty anti-mould bathroom stuff. Feeling quite odd from the icky fumes. Had the joiner round to price up for the last bits of work so looking forward to that working out.
 
peanut i did ours ( far better job than matt, must be a girl thing) i udes a tea towel on my bare hand and lots of white spirit just it burnsbut the satisfaction over rides the burning after a bit and the job is ultimatly better i'm not sure i have seen a plumber wear gloves, that or a spoon i think i used a spoon to
 
I can't use White spirit because of the dermatitis on my hands. Last time I used cling film round my finger but it turned out just as crap. The tool is fine on a flat surface but mosaic tiles on a lumpy 19th century wall are not flat! Lol
 
those are good "relevent"punishment systems you use on byron, will have to remember them!:thumbup:

Ive been so sleepy today, ive slept with Bailey through 2 naps this morning, i slept with him in my arms when he was awake chewing his fists(he then later decided to join me and sleep),ive only really come too since eating some lunch. ive been good for nothing although i did clean the ensuite at one point!
