One - WAY back at the beginning of the school year all the parents were assigned a holiday party. I ended up with Valentine's Day, which they're doing the 13th. Which, ok, cool. I have a co-parent sponsor and we decided I'll make the treats and she'll do the goodie bags. I figured I'd work with B on Thursday to make sugar cookies and cupcakes. Except now? I am on a day trip to STL on the 12th and get in that night at, like, fucking 11pm. Goddammit. Fuck this being a working mom thing.
Two - Stinky is living up to his nickname. I don't know if he OD'ed on fruit this weekend or what, but child has been producing room clearing poos and farts. He was up all night the last two nights with gas and his stools have been loose-ish. This morning he had a BM that looked almost relatively normal, but his poor little butt is all red.
Your kid too with the poop? AJ's gas hasn't been bad but OMG the poop. The last couple days its been real loose, and massive amounts of it when he gets up in the morning. According to J, this morning it was still pretty loose and his response when I asked if AJ had pooped was "Uh yeah." So I'm assuming it was a lot. Dairy usually binds him up so I'm trying to push that, except I didn't tell J that until after he let AJ eat half a jar of mandarin oranges with lunch because he found them in the pantry and threw a fit. Dude, think about it. He's 18 months old, he throws a fit if a dog hair lands on him the wrong way. Suck it up buttercup!
(if I didn't know better I'd think AJ was teething again but I thought he had all his canines and 12 month molars. Guess I'd better check on that.)
Are our boys around the same age? Because I've got the same poop issues in my house. It's so bad that both boys will grab a diaper, walk over to me and say "stinky." Yes, no shit kid, I could smell that across the room.
I'm still worried that one boy isn't as verbal as the other. At their 18m appt the doctor wasn't concerned but I keep thinking I should ask for an EI appointment.

Omigod, J has started these epic tantrums, and he literally throws himself on the ground. Like he just flops down face first and wails. It. is. hilarious. A was a pretty good tantrum-er, but he was never a flopper.
Carl is currently trying to make his connection to Minneapolis. He doesn't come home until late Friday night. Our goal is to make it through with everyone alive. Sanity is a stretch goal.

Too bad you don't live closer, we could put them in a (padded, undoubtedly) room and let them tantrum it out together. Seriously, AJ is straight up ridiculous right now. Hilarious is a good word for it.
Oh damn to Carl's trip this week. You've got beer, right? Who am I kidding, of course you do.
The fact that all these toddler boys around the same age are little poop machines has me relieved that it's not just mine. Misery (and stinky poop) loves company, or something like that.
twotrue, it's not uncommon for one twin to be more/less verbal than the other. Let me know if you have any questions about that stuff
Can someone please come over and take BBT off my hands for a while? She is sweet and adorable but she will not stop talking, loudly, and every single sound feels like a jackhammer on my head right now.

S started doing these at, like, a year. Child is currently 14 months. Almost 15. Still no sign of molars, but all my kids were slow with the teeth.
H fed him, like, 3 of those "cutie" oranges for lunch/snacks on Sunday and then he had more wedges, plus grapes and stuff, at my sister's house. So. Yeah. I've been stuffing him full of dairy and toast and such.

This is what the pedi said too. And I really like her because she had a DD and then a set of twins so she understands how a twin parent compares the kids to each other and to their older sibling and doesn't think I'm crazy for it. :-)
Boy E will use some signs, mimics words, has real words, and can in general get his point across without frustration. Whereas Boy B grunts, points, cries and screams, until I figure things out. He does have some words but doesn't really sign like his brother and doesn't try to mimic (ETA: as much as his brother).
And I'm glad to hear everyone else has overly dramatic floppers in their homes too. Boy E is fantastic and throwing himself backward. And each time he gets that stunned look like 'oh shit that hurt' before going full out screams.

My kid had to leave daycare with a fever today. On the one hand, I'm glad they're pretty strict about keeping kids with illnesses out. On the other, they're notoriously bad at taking temps so I'm a bit dubious that her temp was as high as they say. And now I have to stay home part of the day tomorrow with her because DH and I are both super busy and neither of us can realistically be out tomorrow.

It's SO hard to not compare your kid to others, whether its your own kids or other kids. I tell parents that all the time, but have to immediately follow it up with telling them that it's so hard not to and that I can't help but do it too with my own kid (read: when I was wondering whyTF AJ wasn't walking when all his other same age buddies were. Turns out my kid just wanted to walk at 16 months.) Glad your pedi isn't overly concerned-it's really common for toddlers to hit a language explosion anywhere between 18-24 months and sometimes a little after Plus some toddlers are good little imitators and some just aren't-my own kid is somewhere in the middle depending on his mood that day. You are definitely not crazy for comparing!

We're snowing here now. Welcome, Carl!
I was so paranoid when he was packing, I kept telling him he has no idea how cold it is. He doesn't even own the clothes one would need for this trip; we haven't been to the snow in 4-5 years.

Its actually not that cold, relatively speaking. But i'm sensing a trip to a metro area Target in his future.
