Well Elexis has taken up crying through the night again, not often but she still belts it out come the early hours, most times i can just leave her and she nods back off, this morning at 5am i went into her and she was crying pointing at the ironing board, i tried her with the dummy and her water but she just cried more and continued pointing at the ironing board, i had no clue what she was wanting and so just had to walk out and leave her to paddy for a few minutes, she soon settled got herself a drink and went back to sleep! I dont think teething is helping her where sleep is concerned bless so im hoping that once the teeth are through she will get back to sleeping through
She has a nice 2 hour nap after dinner too, she usually wakes after an hour as a little cry and then nods back off for another hour
We have finally bought little lady a potty too, she currently wears it as a hat but has come to understand its name at least so if we ask her to get her potty or sit on it she will do, i just want to get her used to it before we take the next step...cant wait to start cleaning puddles of pee up and catching poo's haha! I have to say its the worst part about having children...potty training, wish i could for the life of me remember how i learnt Elise!
Elise started year 2 today, she looked quite overwhelmed by the new classroom and teacher and was a bit gutted that she wasnt on the same table as her friend, she looked ever so smart in her school tie though!
Its crazy with my kids at the moment too, Elise is losing teeth like its gone out of fashion, most of them are loose and shes looking so gummy, and at the same time my littlest lady is gaining teeth, 2 more right under the gum just waiting to show themselves, which made me get all nostalgic the other day when Elise had lost one, remembering when she first cut that tooth and i watched it grow and wrote down in her little red book when it had come through, and now shes losing all those baby teeth i so carefully noted down and getting her adult teeth, shes growing up too quickly, i dont like it, i want them to stay little forever
Nothing much to report on me and OH, he has to start group therapy sessions within the next few months, i have a busy social calendar for September which i am looking forward to, Ann summers party this saturday, going out with a large group of friends next saturday (last time we all got together was October 2012) and then the Saturday after that its my friends 30th birthday party, but i get to go to that with OH and the kids so that'll be nice for us all to get out as a family!
Anyway, think ive written enough of an essay for now
