Hey....I just realized I'm the last one you were talking about MW! I'm so close guys! So close! What's going to happen to this thread when my baby comes? Will we just become a social group then?
I think we're just going to move to LWAB. I don't like the social group idea. My DDC is one and it's great but here, we've always just chatted about everything in one thread anyways, right?
You're soooo close, Kinder! How are you feeling? Ready!?
JJ - hope you're enjoying Tenley and that all is going well with bf'ing!!
Yay for nursing in a carrier!! You know, I haven't tried nursing Finn in the boba. Just b/c you asked, I'll try today. I was just posting in my DDC that he has started going so long b/w feedings and my errands aren't usually more than an hour, so I've actually *never* fed him out and about. Usually he goes at least 3 hours, sometimes 4 or 5. I was in complete denial and thinking he was still like a week old, and feeding him every 2 hours or so, until one day I realized, hey, it's been 4 hours and he's not fussing or anything. Maybe I need to watch him and not the clock. Not like he's strugging to gain weight, lol. So, now I just wait for hunger cues. It's crazy.
Anyone else completely forget sometimes that our babies don't eat solid food yet? So many times I have stopped myself before giving him a taste of something. Yesterday I peeled a banana and broke off a piece to give to DD and there was a split second where I thought, "would he like this?" -- even though there's no reason for him to be having a banana!! it's as though I forget how little he is! What's up with that? I think it's b/c he looks 6 months old.
So. Big news. We found a preschool for DD!!
We toured another one yesterday. It's a little pricier than the other one, but this one is smaller overall, class size is smaller, they have cameras in every room so anytime I want I can go online and watch her. I mentioned she doesn't nap anymore, and they said that's fine, when the other kids nap she can help organize the toys, help wipe down tables, or play/read quietly on her own. They assist with the potty as much as needed. They have a class pet (!!) which she was so excited about. (It's just a fish for the 3 year olds but the 4 year olds have a hamster. ) Best of all, the way they handle discipline is right up our alley - positive discipline and redirection, with time out being the last resort -- and it's with the teacher for 1:1 time, not punishment (or being sent to the "principal". I thought she was way too young for that when the other school mentioned that in their tour.) Oh -- and it's 3 days a week in the afternoon, from 230-630. Peak nap time!! Woo hoo!! I'll be able to run an errand or two, or just clean the house, DS can nap, I might even be able to start dinner!! So, we are going to go forward with that, I'm pretty sure. It's hard for me, but she is just so excited and so happy, and it feels right for where we are right now.
