Awww too cute!

Yeah Alora actually put things away, like her toys. Which always surprises me since my oldest still doesn't like to put toys away.

Aww what animal noises does he know Chloe's favorite is quack quack

He roars if we say 'What noise does a lion make?' and he makes 'oooh oooh' noises for a monkey and he's slowly getting ducks lol he goes 'ack ack'. Though he did also roar for a tiger today too!

She also said her 1st 3 work sentence the other day she pointed at a picture on daddy's phone and said "what are they?"

 

[MommyKC]

Aww she is so smart!

Hi girls sorry to jump in mid convo but how many of your LOs still have 2 naps a day ? Lewis has had 2 naps now for ages always the same at around 10am and 2pm for around an hour each time and goes to bed at 7pm every night but the last week or so it has taken longer to put him down in the afternoon and then come bed time he goes in his cot at 7pm but its at least 8-8.30 before he actually goes to sleep :S sometimes even half past 9 ! I think hes ready to drop his afternoon nap what would you ladies do / or have done ?

xxx (hope this makes sense as lol)

 

[MadamRose]

Chloe has one nap mid day then she isnt to tired at night. If your gonna drop afternoon nap look at making 1st nap later or he maybe to tired by 7

 

[Steffyxx]

thanks

Will try tomorrow and hopefully he goes to bed ok should make going to playgroups etc a bit easier if he only naps once too as he will only nap at home

x

 

[MadamRose]

Let us know if it works

 

[Steffyxx]

Well i tried him without a nap in the afternoon and he was really cranky by night time so i have been waking him up after half an hour and it seems to be doing the trick he is getting 2 back teeth and 1 near the front so think that might be part of the problem too but hes deffinatley going to sleep easier the last couple of nights !

 

[MommyKC]

I actually just cut out Alora's morning nap. Like a week ago. The reason being she just wasn't napping for one of her naps anymore (would just play in her crib) so I figured she was ready.

Now I put her down for a nap right after lunch, around 1pm. And she sleeps until 3 or so, and she's fine until bedtime at 8pm.

 

[CharlieKeys]

Stephen only has one nap a day between 10/11 to 12.30/1pm and then goes to bed at 7! He then wakes up between 7-8am

Chloe point d a picture of star earlier andd said "star" she also tried to say "caitlyn" it was clear enough to know what she meant

Hi Just a quick hello and update, Macy only has one nap, normally after lunch now that way she goes 3 hours lol! Still goes to bed at 7.30. Macy loved Xmas this year loves all her minnie mouse, happyland and kitty bits. She runs around, strings words together sings and dances and now understands alot of things, if I say go and find your dummy for example she will go and get it. She has 9 teeth now, 4 bottom, 4 top and one molar, cut yesterday. She was whingey last night but could be down to all the excitment of parties and being around lots of people. She sleeps 12 hours straight shes such a joy, I just wish I could do it all again but no chance now, snip snip lol x

 

[ellaandcallum]

Macy moo does that all the time lol, so cute x

 

[MommyKC]
