January 2010 for all moms

Hello all.

Sorry I have been missing in action.

Yesterday we went to a confirmation party of family of my husband. As we walked into the door, all the eyes were on J. And everybody said hello and going on. The next thing my poor child burst into tears and started crying uncontrollably...it took us half and hour to settle him. And as soon as he is settle and I think I can give him to someone else it just started again.

My husband and I are not very sociable people and would rather stay at home or go out on our own since time is so limited and there is just no time during weekends for family visits. Do you think that can be the cause? Are your kids also suffering from separation Anxiety so badly?

The only people that J usually see is myself, hubby and nanny. Now my husband is suggesting that we put him in a creche next year, so he can interact with other children. What do you guys think...I want to wait till he is two years old... and rather address the problem by making time to get im involved more and let him see other people more.

Your input is much appreciated!

Hey Sam....where you from again? Did you give Logan the mushrooms?

Charlotte...I think we have a genius in our midst! lol... we can discuss a get together. Sounds nice.

Shame Juno hope Liam sleeps better tonight.

Where did you get info re swimming nappies Juno?

PS. Woolies have.... I call them shorty babygro's lol... for R20 each.

Lorelai has been saying dada for a every long time - but she dada for everything. so that is a sound, when she says tata she does a wave (more like a arm flop). hope that helps

Weird - did another post which didn't appear..

Lorelai is one speedy little girl! How does one know whether a baba is saying a word or a sound?

yes i think Lorelai is in pain - but no reason to hit her sister. I'm not pro violence!!!!

i really wanted to go, but i couldn't but also felt a bit weird because of the other thing... we all know what I'm talking about. but would really like to meet our group - FYI you are all invited to L's bday in Jan.

Yes they do get night terrors - hope this helps - www.babycentre.co.uk/toddler/sleep/nightterrors/

yes for the first time ever!!! and i mean ever he is supportive!!!

I was just about to ask the same question..

Poor Lorelai - she's obviously very eina.

Nope didn't go to the CT get together. Not my thing really - speaking to people online is one thing, meeting them in the flesh is another thing entirely! Also one of the attendees really dislikes me and I really didn't need that additional stress.

Wld be more open to our group as we at least know each other and would know what to expect - though Kyoto wouldn't be able to join us not unless she made an arrangement to visit CT - what do you say K?\

That's wonderful to hear that your partner is so supportive!

Liam for the first time in three months woke during the night twice screaming! Really weird as it's not his teeth and he sleeps in a mosquito net all the time - we live on a river. Do babies get night terrors?

Girls

Where are you?

Lorelai said her first word!!!! TATA
She is such a little gremlin!!! she smacked her sister in the face this morning because she touched her hand, she even added a scream!!! the gums are still swollen and the top teeth still aren't out..

Did any of you go to the moomie day in CT? we should arrange a moomie day for our group...

Still no news on the job front, but i hope and pray i still have a job at the end of this month. BF is really being supportive and has said that he will take care of me and the girls until i find another job!!!! hope that wont affect my moomie time. lol
