Baby & Kid Chat - September

Kate - we moved Evan to a toddler bed in July (he was about 20 months) because we caught him trying to climb out of his crib twice in one day (once when DH was standing right there, and thank goodness he was, because Evan would have gone right over!). We haven't had too many problems with him getting in/out of his bed, though we did fold a very thick comforter and put it beside his bed for the first few weeks. He has fallen out a couple of times, but the comforter softened the blow, and I'd much rather he fall from 1 foot up than 3+ feet.

Another suggestion is to put a mattress on the floor, which I think many of the WTTG ladies have done as well.

Good luck!

Amy - super cute bathtime picture!

Waving "HI" to everyone else!

Erica- That fly lady website sounds really interesting!! I'll be checking on it because, believe me, I need to get motivated with the house work!!
Katie- you must be joking right? He is beginning to potty train??? Fede is 2 1/2 and only now showing those signs!!!!
Christine- Fede is sleeping on a big boy bed since he was 1 1/2 yo. My trick is probably not the best, but it works for us so far… I lay down with him…  I just lay there beside him, sometimes he wants to hold my hand, others he just wants to be by himself, he just wants me there. Usually after 5 or 10 minutes he is asleep and I can leave the room. Now that he is older he's been able to sleep on his own a couple of times, but I till think it will be a while until he can do it regularly.
Amy- I love the bath picture!! my mom used to bathe us all together (me, my sister and brother) when we were really young and it was so much fun!!!!

AFM-  DH seems to be fine, and apparently it was just a big scare. Thanks all for the "get well wishes".
He went to work on Wed. feeling queasy, once there he started to vomit, but being a guy (that is fearing to look like a wimp), he kept it to himself. But at noon his stomach pain was unbearable and they took him to the infirmary. There they checked and his blood pressure was extremely low, and they couldn't get it up, so they drove him in an ambulance to the hospital. Of course I found out about this when he was already at the hospital at mid afternoon.. Somehow nobody thought "Hey, let's tell the wife!". Once they told me I had to rush and leave the kids with MIL and get there, because I had no freakin' clue of what was wrong with him. From what his co worker told me it could be anything from a heart attack to appendicitis!
Anyways, after a couple of shots and iv fluids, he was better, and spend the night there just as a precaution.

We did our first group bath tonight (Blake still freaks out at bath time so he sat this one out. Not ready to have more kids in the tub then I have hands!). It went really well. I let Jensen and Elaine sit there and splash each other for awhile. They both laughed and had fun. Then I washed Elaine up and Rob dried her and got her dressed while I washed Jensen, and then once he was done he came back and got Jensen dressed and dried while I bathed Blake. It worked out well but I definitely think it's not something I would attempt without Rob home! Here's a cute PG picture for you guys lol!
