Yup, she's brilliant. I was coming on to recommend her. My favourite is Monkey Puzzle. That said S's favourites are currently his In The Night Garden, Disney Cars and Thomas the Tank Engine books. Basically anything he's seen on tv.:o0 -

Before my daughter turned 1 she was the easy one and my son was the hard one and then he turned 3 and she became the hard one and there is no minding in my son anymore lol I bath them together and I usually take her out first and dress her and then get him but now he has started getting out and drying and dressing himself. It's sooooooo nice lol
Lol. O i hope L never changes! She is a dream baby (touch wood). Now my son (just turned 2 a few weeks ago) is the cutest thing ever... But he is just such a lunatic!!! My brothers can only manage to run after him for a half hr or 1 hr tops before they are puffing, panting and red in the face. Lol. It's no wonder I'm down to 8st!... I barely have time to eat with him. But I spose he wouldn't be normal If he was any other way

My 13 month is a lunatic too. Don't know how I'm going to manage in July when I have a pair. She's hilarious and great fun but so fearless. Her tiny drunkard baby walk has turned into a little run She then decides half way to her destination that she'd be faster crawling and throws herself on the ground. Her death defying antics earned her a fat lip and bruised head at the weekend when she put her top teeth through her bottom lip while trying to use her block trolley like a scooter!! 0 -

I think I said this to you before about being very similar. My daughter was a text book baby. Never cried slept all night from 7 to 7 from week old. Always finished bottles. She was a dream but once she started walking and climbing I was chasing her everywhere while my son was just doing his own thing after 3 years of being an absolute lunatic. He is 4 now in January and she will be 2 in April. I was out the back hanging out washing and I was watching them through the window and I seen my son sit down at the table and butter a scone, cut it in half and give half to my little one lol that's lunch sorted. Can't wait till he starts making the dinner ha ha0 -

My son is 4 in January (omg where did those years go ?) and he's still wearing pull-ups at night.
How do you kick start the night training? His pull up is still wet in the morning but one night I forgot to put one on him before bed and he didn't have an accident. He's great during the day and very very rarely has an accident. He's day trained since October last year.
I'm probably dreading the added disruption to my sleep as my daughter wakes most nights and I don't want to add more wakings into the mix.
However should he be out of pull ups by 4?0 -
Vomiting bug has hit. Kids grand, im dying. Had to get my sis to call up and help out as had no energy .
Ugh. L was a lil sick saturday. OH had it yesterday but both wrre fine i seem to have got it alot worse.
Question for you if you don't mind! I am 16 pregnant and have been suffering from terrible hyperemesis - was hospitalised a few times etc. Over the last two weeks it lifted a lot and I've felt human again, I've been out of bed and eating again and able to care for myself and my son. Until Monday night when the vomiting came back with a vengeance, vominting every 30 minutes no fluids staying down etc just like it was when I was at my worse at in the hospital. I was wondering if it was the vomiting bug but then I thought surely I can't be that unlucky? To vomit non stop for 3 months and then get the vomiting bug after it!
I'm starting to feel better today but I'm still not sure whether it was a bug or the hyperemesis flaring up. Suucee - did any of the rest of your family get it? My son and husband are fine which makes me think not a bug. Also, how long did it last? Are you still sick?
Just trying to figure it out in case I need to be prepared for the hyperemsis flaring up every so often or if it really is a bug:( I reckon the symptoms are pretty identical, feeling like **** and non-stop vomiting!
It's so weird to be hoping I have a vomiting bug! 0 -

I played it by ear. When the night pull ups were consistently dry. ..we stopped using them.
My 3 year old is only trained since the summer. ..or maybe the autumn? It took so long I can't remember lol...but he'll be in night pull ups till he's 40!

My 8.5 mnth old puked about 3 times saturday but was in great form. My OH puked once tuesday but was well enough for work but complaining of cramps and diahrea. My stomach still crampy and i vonited again a small bit this morning. But managed to cook and eat a small bit of my dinner. My mum came to gave a hand today but shes not feeling well either. Yesterday though was terrible i couldnt move witgout vomiting or wretching until it was pure burning bile.
Hopefilly its the bug. As i said there was a few days between baba having it and us getting it. Also 2.5yr old is grand but shes been having tummy issues for weeks which are just improvong (long story).0 -

my daughter is 2.5. What we done when she was day trained was put her to bed at 7.30 in pants. Then go in around 11 carry her out and put her on the toilet. Then put a nappy on. First thing next morning we took nappy off and brought her out. When we had a week of consistently dry we stopped the nappy but still bring her out at 11. When she was unwell we went back to putting the nappy on for about 2 weeks again (she was having diahrea on and off and her whole system was a lil messed up) thankfully shes over that so after about 4 consecutive dry nights we stopped with the nappy.
I have heard it can take until they are 7/8 . Its not laziness or anything so i wouldnt be worried in the slightest. He will get there.
Maybe try bringing him out just as you go to bed and see if it helps.0 -
4.5 month old picked up her first cold and then promptly infected mam and dad
I learned a few valuable lessons
1) she doesnt like nasal saline spray
2) If she can smell vicks vapo rub, she wants to eat said rub
3) After months of peaceful 12 hours nights, we had 2 nights in a row where she was up every 90 mins or so because of a stuffed nose, it was hell (i dont know how people do this all the time :eek:)
4) i get no sympathy for my man flu anymore
We were away at the weekend and i noticed everything we have food she's like a zombie, just stares at it and drools0 -

How strange at 4yrs my son's pull ups were wet 6 nights out of 7. And the bed was often wet as well, the pull up didn't hold it all. I was waiting for a run of dry nights to take them off but it didn't come. At this age he started asking to wearing his big boy pants to bed so eventually at 4yrs 4mth i decided we'd nothing to lose, he was waking up in a wet bed a lot of nights anyhow even with the very costly pull ups. We never looked back, it's a year later now and i'd say he's wet the bed about 5 times since then. We lifted him at 10/11pm for the first few nights and then he started getting up himself to use the toilet usually before midnight, nowadays it's usually the very early hours 5/6am when he gets up, i guess as time goes by he's able to last longer. I won't use the pull ups as long the next time (if we use them at all), in my experience they did nothing except drag out the process.0 -
Thanks seasoned mammies
He was asking last September if he could wear big boy pants to bed and I fobbed him off because I thought he wasn't quite ready. Part of me thinks he'd be quite good though as he's fastidious during the day. I'm also starting to think it's laziness that he wets his pull-up because it probably doesn't feel wet to him so he pees in it rather than going to the toilet. I put his pull up a little earlier last night and he peed in it while he was playing. That's why I think they make him a little lazy.
I might give it a try over the Christmas break when we've a few days off.0 -
Yeah I think that could be part of it, the modern nappies are so absorbent these days that they have to be full before the child feels wet! It's a lot more unpleasant to have a wet underpants!How Strange wrote: »Thanks seasoned mammies

Our little lad (he'll be 3 in February) is on his way to being toilet trained. He uses the potty for everything during the day, every second night or so, his nappy is dry. I actually think being toilet trained is helping his constipation problem too!0 -

Maybe try putting underpants on under the pull up? Then he would feel wet, but the bedding would be saved.
I don't have any personal experience with this (don't hate me but I trained my daughter at 2.5 years and she has never wet the bed.....very lucky mama here), but a friend tried it and said it helped. 0 -

I wonder is it because tge pull up feels so like a nappy he just associate it with peeing where you are0
