We went to the park with family today, and when we were walking over to the playground my teenage cousin ran past Natalie and jokingly said, "get out of my way Natalie." Ugh, Natalie was SO upset. She just wanted me to hold her and she cried the entire time. I really wish he didn't do that. I know he was only trying to be funny but she doesn't understand that's a joke. She was so afraid and refused to look at him the rest of the day. My poor sensitive baby.
My cousin had her first baby today! A little girl, Stella. My aunt texted me live labor updates, it was great. This is the fourth girl in our family, we do not know how to make boys apparently.

I am really surprised by how many toddlers here can count to 10 or higher. It is making me feel toddler conscious, but I'm pretty sure they aren't expected to do that for a little while, right? (Please lie to me if this isn't true, lol).
I think I may have gotten a jolt of 2nd tri energy today. I cleaned the bathrooms, went grocery shopping, made sourdough pretzels, apple crumble bars, and brownies this afternoon, put away the laundry, changed the sheets on the bed, and organized our office area today. It was nice.

our daycare just sent out a newsletter that said the goal for the YEAR is to count to ten, recognize the letters in their name and some shapes.
my "morning" sickness is awful all day. I have no clue how i will fake it through work this week. I did nothing but stay in bed most of the weekend while H did all the parenting. I feel bad because he did say he can't wait for daycare tomorrow but he just can't exhaust luke like school does. Plus when he asked luke what he wanted to do today he said go to school. At least he likes it!

I wouldn't worry about it. Ada can count a whopping 4 objects. I'm not really big on teaching things like counting, letters, etc, mainly due to laziness lol, she will learn them sooner or later!

I must attempt to teach N how to count to 10 every day, like in fun ways like counting his trucks Etc... Despite my best efforts, he can only count to maybe 4 and we've been doing his for um..... Maybe 6-8 weeks!?! So..... Lol, someday it will set In. He knows all colors and shapes, so he is doing well. It will all click eventually.
reciting numbers in order, memorizing numbers, and actual one to one correspondence of counting are all very different! In kinder we look for strong one to one correspondence! I think at this age exposure is key... when they are in the mood, it'll click but you can't make a 2 year old learn anything they dont want to!

Guys, don't worry! That's the only reason I hate these threads because everyone gets paranoid. Please don't worry if some are counting and some are not!

I don't know what they are "supposed" to be doing but I always feel this way about something on here. For example, V can count to 10 (I think she learned at daycare?) but she had never once pooped or peed on the potty and she has no desire to. I feel like every kid on here (just about) is now potty trained, so we are behind in that area.
I guess these aren't really related, but I just wanted to tell you I figure it will all even out in the end. Hopefully our kids will be out of diapers and counting to ten by the time they move out

I am really sorry if I made anyone feel bad! I don't see many 2 year olds so I wonder how A is doing on things. To be honest, I get a little concerned that he won't jump and is still pretty clumsy. But I know he will get there, just like other kids will get there in counting and letters!

Oh, you didn't make me feel bad! I was just surprised. It's really impressive the things that all of our kids are doing.

Guysssss no one is allowed to stress out about who is doing what. Remember when everyone was talking about crawling and rolling and walking? Well, your kid crawled/walked/rolled eventually and now it really doesn't matter when they did it, right? That's what this is like.

Little SIL is TTC, and I feel like I know way too much and it's so tough when we talk about it and she says things that are a little..... Naive. Not being mean, I mean, I was naive at one point, but now I know all the things. Lol. She is on cycle one and already I'm trying to tell her that it could take a year.
it does seem like everyone is PT but i know they arent! Luke just started acknowledging the potty this week and has sat on it a few times but is not interested at all. I wouldn't mind PT'ing around thanksgiving but if not ill wait until after Christmas. I would like him PT'd before his birthday and before baby2 just so it's separate

I'm sorry. The only way I am surviving is zofran. Have you tried that yet?

i took zofran the whole time when i was pregnant with luke and they will give it to me if i want it but this time im not vomiting as much as nauseous. Zofran only stopped the vomiting, not the queasy feeling last time. Also, the fda released a statement in early 2014 discouraging use of zofran in pregnancy so im trying to get by on b6/unisom which has been helping a little (probably the same amount zofran did last time). I've been getting by on b6, unisom, and accupuncture- this weekend was just rough. Last week I found the busy i was at work the better i felt so hopefully the first week of school ill be ok!

Oh OK.
I'm only able to function through the nausea with zofran. Let's hope it passes soon for both of us!

i was thinking of you earlier! how are you feeling now that it's sank in i hope you start feeling better soon- you are getting to the end of first tri- there is hope!

I didn't get to that thread but Thad is a coordinated kid and just barely gets his toes off the ground at the se time. And that is a brand new revelation.

None of the 2 year olds in D's class have started PTing. They are all almost 2.5. We started yesterday and she was giving me cues that made me uneasy about it and I decided to stop. I'm a MOOK, I have a kid that was a dream PT'r that basically trained herself. D isn't behind where H was developmentally, they are just different kids.
this weekend really reminded me that with a two year old the highs are high and the lows are low. He did a bunch of things that were so sweet, thoughtful or smart but then he also gave us a tough time with some things. what an age!
