Popular Post AVFC_Hitz Posted October 29, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 29, 2022 Was woken up at 5.30 this morning to my 2 year olds first independent poo. She'd woken up, gone to the bog, even putting her toddler seat on by herself and did a big massive jobby. So there was I staring bleary eyed at this Cuban cigar of a plop with my kid just pointing at it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some take a lot longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, we are actively trying to toilet train her at home and at school so I guess this is the success we've been looking for. Took around 5 months. My son pretty much took 24 hours. Nappies off, pants on. "Oh, you've wet yourself. That's not good. Shall we try the toilet?" "Ok Dad". Done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villakram Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Our 17 month lad just tried and mastered down the stairs by himself as of yesterday... yay, no more taxi service. Well maybe a month or 2 of quasi-independent going down, but crazy watching him decide I can now do this. It's completely wild the discrete new things he can do on a weekly basis. Still partial to waking up a random night hours though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overconfidence, lack of concentration, enthusiasm - and a tumble from top to bottom. Luckily they seem to have bendy bones, and usually get away with no worse than shock and tears. After doing it once, they tend to be more careful. Edited October 30, 2022 by mjmooney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He decided he could hop down the stairs and not hold the banister. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted November 14, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted November 14, 2022 Leo started nursery about 2 month ago and whilst it's been fine, I've never never been so sick before in my life. Previously I don't think I had ever had the flu and had barely caught a cold for years. Between coughing, headaches, fevers, aches and general cold symptoms I feel like I've been ill constantly for the past 2 months. It's driving me crazy. Does this happen to everyone?

Yes - with the first child. When my youngest went to Nursery I was unwell for a solid 9 months until I built up my intolerance. My second child i've been fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the little **** will keep you up all night as they have a cough. Apropos of nothing my grandson is currently chilling on the sofa with a cough and cold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really does My immune system is pretty shit so I catch anything going. I was basically ill for 6 months. One of my best mates doesn't have the same immune system issues. His son went to nursery... my mate was basically ill for 6 months. Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beauty of having twins is that when one is ill, you then know the other is getting it straight after, prolonging the sleepless nights. Joy.

Dante_Lockhart Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 My lad is 8 now and has absolutely no interest in football. Constantly moans that all his friends like playing it. I'm sad as I'd love to watch the footy with him and have him grow up playing like I did, but it's not to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My boy showed almost no interest in football until he was about 9 when we moved house and he switched school. Like a switch he was football mad. Now plays for 2 teams and a cracking little player. I wonder how good he could have been if he started at 5 or 6 like many others. He has 17 goals so far this season. Target is 25 by Christmas. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Real challenge to actually do my job. Me and my wife alternate get ups but wow it’s a slog! Yep same. Between 4 and 5. The amount of times he’s slept past 5am I can count on one hand. It’s horrible. On the one hand it could be worse. We can go to bed at a reasonable hour and get 6 or 7 hours, but still, being up at 4:30 every day is really shit. We alternate get ups as well, but it wakes us both up when he’s up so it’s always broken sleep. Id give anything to have him consistently sleeping until 7am. Even 6am would be completely fine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
