Hi CDx I'm a Feb mummy but remember your name from TTC! Didn't want to read and run. Time flies doesn't it, Joel has turned two and it's hard to imagine he was ever a newborn now!
Congratulations Emmajaine. When are you due?
We are doing great, it still amazes me he's mine. Starting to have a few terrible 2 tantrums but most of the time he's hilarious and definitely keeps me on my toes.
Candymycandy so true! I was looking through some of Arrans old clothes and I can't believe he was ever that tiny!! Although he's still a wee small fry in 12-18 month clothes x

Thanks hun, am due in November so will be 2 and a half years between them.
Ah the tantrums, Lexi has been doing those for a good 4-5 months already, her favourite phrase right now is "don't want to/it Mummy". So funny, as she proper pouts when she says it! We have started doing time outs with her, and they used to always trigger a tantrum, but she is starting to understand them. And so they are gradually getting less.

I still linger! Glad everyone is doing well, and congratulations Emma on your pregnancy. My little girl is a busy little bee, lots of running, lots of talking, lots of tantrums! We tried taking the side off her cot a few months back and she failed the test - out of bed all the time playing/escaping/not sleeping! So back to cot mode! Still waiting for her hair to come through but otherwise she is doing grand! Can't believe she'll be two at end of the month. It really has flown by.
Hi everyone, ive just logged on for the first time in ages to post a different thread but was so chuffed to see this one. I'm glad you're all well.
My LG is two at the beginning of May and I can't believe it. I don't know if anyone remembers me but I'm then one who had sleep troubles for a really long time! My LG only just started sleeping through about 6 weeks ago but my what a difference it has made to me! I'm so grateful for the sleep haha
My lo is just the light of my life. She's hilarious and we have the best time. We've been potty training this week and she's taken to it like a duck to water. We get the odd tantrum but from day one I've just ignored her and if it's safe walked away and thankfully she does know it'll not get her anywhere.
What are you buying for 2nd birthdays? I'm stuck for ideas. She loves sleigh animals so I'll buy her some more for her farm and I was thinking of a scooter but I'm stuck after that and I'd like to get her one or two other bits

My daughter is into music, singing and playing instruments, so we've got her a keyboard and Melissa &a Doug band in a box and a few bits of Playmobil stuff.
We aren't potty training yet. She loves her potty ... just not to wee in!

Thanks Rooster
We have got her a buggy and a baby, partly because she loves the ones at nursery, and partly to help her understand about the new baby. Will be doing lots of role play with her!
We have had a potty around for a few months and she sits on it sometimes, but gets proper freaked out if she does wee in it! Bless, so not going to start it for a while yet.

Hi guys long time no chat...our LG doing very well too, just had her 2nd birthday party and we recorded it and now all she wants is it playing asking for party and pointing to TV lol. Lots of jumping, climbing, running and even walking on tiptoes, managing 2-3 word sentences easily and trying longer ones, her vocab has just exploded so that helps. Have the terrible twos atm and that coincided with getting more assertive, molars coming through (where are they??) and being defiant with food refusal...one day she refused a meal for 6hrs! She's better now as she is involved in choosing accompaniments to her meal i.e sauces and vegetables from tins. seems to be working quite well its meat she's not very keen on but get a bit in every now and then but luckily she loves fruit and veg and egg so not concerned.
Sleep...hmm yes this is the biggie...she went through the 18mth sleep regression where for 3wks she woke at 5.30 every morning and came out the other end back to 7-7 sleep with 1hr nap but for the past three weeks she wakes 2-3 times a night and Im literally tearing my hair out as trying every technique I can think of. Recently tried the swift go in, put back into bed limited talking and swift retreat and seemed to be working but have now noticed that even the attention that gives her is worth screaming for 15mins...sigh...yawn...I was OK when it was every few nights but it is EVERY night without fail now...first of all screams after leave the room so have to go in and put her back in bed, then again at 9/10ish and again sometime between 2 &5. Its really starting to get me down as always just about fall asleep when she wakes then have to get back to sleep again then getting woken early hours means Im getting no more than 4-5hrs solid sleep. As a 7-8hr sleep person this is starting to take its toll on me. I could manage the stamina of the days activities with 1hr nap break as knew when she was in bed that was me-time and our-time with hubby but now go to bed knowing ill be woken twice so ive tried early nights or waiting til she's woken before going bed and every time it doesnt improve. Im starting to make stupid mistakes during the daytime, geting very forgetful, not thinking logically and only just managing to hold my temper with her during the day. Any suggestions? Thoughts? She has got a little snuffle, like I said probably on and off teething and the sleep fight is definitely defiance not a case of being under or overtired as have got the routine down to pat and give her plenty of warning when bedtime/naptime approaches. Every time Im woken up I keep thinking 'where has my 7-7 happy sleeper gone'...My hubby understands to a point but its the constant all day long then waking frequently at night that is starting to get to me. If she even had one or two nights sleeping thru Id be happy...Oh and have introduced a reward chart with sleep achievements on it, have started telling her to play with her musical teddies if not tired. she's been in a big bed for months only change would be new curtains and duvet but she picked them out and not scary at all. One night she almost went all night then threw a hissy fit because she'd pulled a sock off and couldnt get it back on...yawn...
sorry for the essay but there is a lot of pent up frustration here and keen to know if anyone else having same or similar issues and what you did about it....
