Ummm...I hate you chef. Lol

Neither of my kids slept through the night until they went to kindergarten. You read that right, they were 5 years old.

And that "cry it out and go in every 5 minutes" thing? Yeah, my kids vomited both times I tried that. They would literally cover the crib in vomit. DD in NYC could vomit at will at age 10 months. I decided I would rather teach them that if they need me, I will be there to help them.

That's about when mine slept through the night too MM. The oldest was so sick with reflux she just never slept well. The youngest had asthma and I had to give him breathing treatments every four hours all through the night or he would stop breathing.

Mellow Momma · Sniff...sniff, sniff. Yay! A Bum!

Glad I am not the only one! Lol.

Honestly, until they had a solid school day under their belt, taxing their brains and their bods all day...no luck. They needed to be truly exhausted to sleep through the night. If not, they got up and either got into bed with us, or slept on the floor next to our bed. But they always managed to wake us up in the process.

C would sleep through the night. She would sleep from about 10 to 7am and then she was up. didn't matter what time she went to sleep. When that sun came up, so did she. She is still an early riser.

J would go to sleep about the same time, 10pm, and then wake at 3, take a bottle and get changed and then go back to sleep. He would sleep later. Sometimes till 9.

A. Oh my goodness. A was my test. He had stomach issues. I had to feed him every two hours. I could only give him 1 ounce and I had to burp him repeatedly through out the feeding process. It could easily take an hour to feed him. So he didn't sleep much and neither did I. Did that from the time I brought him home until he was about 6 months old. Then I could give him a little more and space out his feedings. Poor kid was always hungry. He still grazes all day.

I feel for you. I really do. I remember sitting cross legged in the bed at 3 in the morning with J cradled in my legs and giving him his bottle and jerking awake cause I had dropped it.

Your baby will sleep through the night again. She will. I promise.

Yeah, I always hated people who were like "My child slept through the night at two weeks!" I just wanted to stab their eyes out.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Well C did. She was easy. Would sleep a good 6-8 hours at a time.

But she didn't do naps long. By the time se was a year old she wasn't napping but once a day. By 2 she wasn't napping at all. If she was asleep then she was probably sick.

The boys didn't nap much either by 2. But I insisted on quiet time. Because I needed it more than they did.

Nobody Just Nobody · Rib-it! Rrrib-it!

Oh, I know kids DO Lily. That's not the issue. DH always tells me how well SS slept from the time he was born. I just want to stab him. I don't think I've ever recovered from all those sleepless nights.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I get what you are saying.

Honestly I find myself missing that one on one time I had with them. Not often. But every now and then.

It's a rule that I will not wash plastic-ware. I'm aware that's not eco-sensitive, but it ain't gonna happen.

I may wipe it off and use it again,

but I won't "wash" it.

I HATE to wash dishes. I think aluminum pans are THE BOMB!

ETA: SEE! That's why I don't post often...I'm always a page behind the conversation...

Yeah I am not going to wash it either.

The whole point of disposable is so I DONT have to wash it.

Well if it is any consolation, my kids began putting themselves to be about 6. I just had to make sure they actually got in their own bed and not mine.

They are 20,17, and 16 and they all go to bed about 9 or 10 every night.

So there is hope.

And on that note, I am going to put myself in bed.

G'night Ya'll.

He's inherited his Daddy's ability to sleep through a bomb exploding next to his head. He only ever woke up once during the night for a feeding. The nurses in the hospital badgered me to wake him every 2-3 hours for food. Waking him up for food only resulted in him latching then promptly falling back asleep so I quit bothering to wake him. I figured, if he's hungry, he'll wake up.

My Grandma was rather vocal about how we were lucky that DS was such an easy newborn. I realize this and I fear for DH's and my sanity if we have another kid. I doubt we'll get lucky twice. I'm very thankful my introduction to parenthood came with an easy newborn. Rest assured though that's he quite the rambunctious almost-toddler. He drives us bonkers getting into everything he can't have and ignoring the crapload of toys he has.

This is a blessing about night wakings. Plus I get a lot of praying done during the night, lol.

I really thought I would get to be one of the hated this time around. And I was excited about it.

I suppose the first three months of really good sleeping is still pretty great.. ah, perspective.

Fred cupcakes are baking. I have no frosting. I guess we'll have to stop and get that tomorrow.

Don't Throw Snakes
Written by Carol Thomson
Monday, 08 December 2014 10:59

You can't throw a snake in a restaurant.
And yet, that's what happened this morning (Mon) around 7:30 at a business in the 600 block of 22nd Street West.

Saskatoon Police say two men were arguing with an employee about the preparation of their sandwiches, saying they wanted their onions diced.
At one point, one of the men reached into his friend's coat, pulled out a snake and threw it behind the counter.
Staff fled the store and the police were called.

Officers found the snake and determined it was non-poisonous.
The two men were found nearby and are now facing charges of mischief and causing a disturbance.
A temporary home for the snake has been found, and it will be released back into the wild in the spring.

I love my country.

Oh, they are going to be adorable. We got gluten free cupcake mix so DS could have some. And white because that's what SS likes. I got elf cupcake liners and little elf heads to go on the top. The cupcakes are done but just need frosting and the toppers. We have to pick SS up from school tomorrow so we'll finish up before then. We're going to put a blanket down in his room with a platter of cupcakes and we're going to spread crumbs all over and have the elf and the reindeer passed out around them with a bottle of Pepto Bismol next to them!

NAOW · Vette's SS

That will be funny! I'll bet he gets a kick out of that.

I put Snowflake next to the dog bowl with dog food and treats in it with a note reading "Worst cookies ever! Do not leave these for Santa!"

I'm going to take a picture so it will be posted in the elf thread!
