45. *+*+*+*+* Brag Corner - What is your little one(s) doing lately? *+*+*+*+* (nt) - proudmommy5 3 days ago (10)

not really a brag but his new thing is to take his diaper off I don't know if that means he is ready to be potty trained or what. None of my other kids did this (nt) - proudmommy5 3 days ago

are you using the velco fasteners? abby has been doing that since she was able to find the tabs, but she's in disposables. we had to put her in the off brand pull-ups because she even figured out how to get the reg. pull-ups unfastened! (nt) - mommyto2and2 3 days ago

there the disposable ones. I started putting his plastic pants that I used with his cloth diapers over them. so far that helps (nt) - proudmommy5 3 days ago

izzy does that we use a strip of duct tape to keep them on...we tried potty training and it didn't go well at all so we are on a little break and will try again at beginning of dec (nt) - serialmommy 3 days ago

Talking a lot more! Most of the time I can't understand 3/4 of it, but she's been a real chatterbox lately. (nt) - mommyto2and2 3 days ago

awww thats so cute. I love to hear noah try and talk poor baby gets so upset sometimes when we don't understand him (nt) - proudmommy5 3 days ago

Her most used word right now is "Ah-deet". Not really sure what it is, but she uses it for lots of things. (nt) - mommyto2and2 3 days ago

maybe "I'll do it" (nt) - proudmommy5 3 days ago

actually, i know she uses it for "i did it!" and a couple other things but sometimes she says it at random times that don't mean the few ways i know she uses it. (nt) - mommyto2and2 3 days ago

each child that is old enough to help (ie:not abby) gets to pick a side dish or dessert that they want to make. then i usually will just let them do it themselves. i help a little with the more complicated things, but they do it mostly themselves and that dish is all theirs for that year. they really enjoy taking the credit for having made something for Thanksgiving.

As this will be our first one, I'm still thinking what to do. (nt) - duedrop 3 days ago

I feel like we've been fighting this for weeks! One or two of us get sick and then just when those one or two start getting better, one or two others get it. It's driving me nuts and the kids are missing WAY too much school because of it. I just wish it would hurry up and run its course so we can move on. (nt) - mommyto2and2 2 days ago

Big hugs! we had this go on and on for over 4 months during our winter (we're just coming into summer now). I was SO tired of it all, and feeling like I was letting everyone down too (nt) - duedrop 11 hours ago
