Sounds like a lovely thing to try Helen :)

Isaac started kindy today - and didn't even mind that I left!! And when I went to pick him up he didn't want to come home!! I didn't know whether to feel sad or relieved! He had so much fun!!!
Then we went to the kindy disco tonight but he just wanted to eat popcorn

Miya does the same but to sort of ease the frustration of I make sure I have a drink and afternoon tea on the table waiting for her with a book so now she get up still a little grizzly and runs straight to the table and waits for me to make a coffee and we sit down and read a book while we have afternoon tea together. It took about 3 or 4 days before she started looking forward to this part of her routine by the time we have finished one book she is happy again so I can get on with the housework.

It might be worth a try ]]> Fri, 03 Aug 2007 11:51:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=191004&title=how-does-this-work#191004 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=188566&title=how-does-this-work#188566 Author: newmum

Hannah gets up and knocks on her door! If I take too long I hear "hellooooooo?", it is such a crack up! Sometimes she wakes grumpy but usually only if I have disturbed her, but if I leave her in bed to wake up a bit she comes out when shes ready happy as. Overnight her door is open so in the morning she just comes in when she wakes up with a big bright "hi"! So cute.

Well it's Briona's 2nd birthday today and the cake will be put up HIGH ROFL!!

Do any of your 2yos wake up hard? Briona's always grizzly for the first few minutes of getting up, needs cuddles and food and water and then she's finally ok again. I guess she sleeps deep and eats like a horse anyway . Today was exceptionally bad because we went out this morning and got home past her day-bedtime and now she's being such a grump!

Thanks for the assurances that Joey is "typically 2" I guess we'll just ride out the clingyness (I expect it will get worse once the baby arrives..) and make sure he feels secure and hopefully he will grow out of it soon!!

Funny you say that about the teacher thing Marie - because in my "past life" I was a primary teacher too. I was just commenting to a friend last week how I used to always give that "They'll be fine, just go" line to parents and think they were drippy fools, ROFL, now it's me they are trying to get out the door PMSL ]]> Thu, 26 Jul 2007 08:18:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=186554&title=how-does-this-work#186554 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=186380&title=how-does-this-work#186380 Author: busymum

Hmmm welll... well it's been well documented on here already but basically I got a tonne of home help from ACC and then I broke my toe and then I extended the home help... and now it's been about a month without help and amazingly I can actually cope without it! Was worried I had got too dependent on it LOL

Well there's gotta be a book out there for 2 year olds because Briona tried quite a lot of the tricks from it this afternoon... hmmm I've just realised that the trouble started sometime after she helped herself to all the icing from half a cake sitting on the bench ROFL. Well hopefully tomorrow will be a bit more settled - no chocolate icing for her (or anybody haha) and hopefully no silliness either!]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2007 20:56:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=186380&title=how-does-this-work#186380 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=186367&title=how-does-this-work#186367 Author: nikkitheknitter

Briona has been in and out of clingy stages all year I think it's mostly an age thing but breaking my foot added another set of clinginess in there too. I read somewhere that 2yos are trying to assert their independence but at the same time can worry that you can do without them - so too much distance frightens them and too much closeness strangles them. Never said it would be easy huh! ]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2007 13:02:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=186107&title=how-does-this-work#186107 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=186094&title=how-does-this-work#186094 Author: marielb

Joey is 2 in about 3 weeks How did that happen!?
I think I recognise your name from the EBB Marie? Welcome to Oh Baby!

Anyway, since this is a kind of 2 yo thread can I ask if anyone elses child is REALLY clingy at the moment?? Joey is incredibly clingy and it is really getting tough, he gets so upset when I drop him at pre school 2 mornings a week it makes me feel sick. He gets up at least 10 times before going to sleep at night to make sure mama and papa are still there and during the day won't go to sleep at all unless I am in the same room as him... Is this an age thing or is he sensing the imminent arrival of another baby? Maybe a culmination of all the changes we have had this year catching up with him? Any ideas or suggestions or comments appreciated ]]> Wed, 25 Jul 2007 09:38:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=185975&title=how-does-this-work#185975 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=185953&title=how-does-this-work#185953 Author: aimeejoy

Hannah is 2 in October. She is very into her drawing and dolly at the moment. And loves running around outside and splashing in puddles! Currently engrossed watching Blues Clues and then In The NIght Garden

She seems to be able to say a lot of words and tends to copy just about anything new we say. She is saying a few short sentences as well and can usually tell us what it is she wants/needs. She has an afternoon sleep for about 1-2 hours and sleeps 12-13 overnight! Yay!

Mmm yeah, as much as I'd love to sit on my butt all day on OhBaby. (Actually wait, that's basically what I do anyway!!)

And yeah, us with toddlers just kinda butt in anywhere. Have a rant? Make a topic! Want to brag? Make a topic! Got a question? Ask in a topic!

We will more than happily share horror stories of our own.]]> Tue, 24 Jul 2007 21:33:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=185818&title=how-does-this-work#185818 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=185779&title=how-does-this-work#185779 Author: lizzle

Mine are 2 and a half, and one and a half. i was thinking about making an October 04 toddler thread, but it would consist of me, Nikki, and Toniellis, and as much as i love chatting to those ladies, they are too busy to chat al daylong.

Here will do! My Briona is 2 on Friday She's got a wide vocab (probably thanks to her older sister), loves to climb things and push boundaries and stand still with a funny smile on her face when I say "come here" and loves getting things out of the fridge (who taught her how to open the fridge door?!?!) and passing the milk when the kettle boils, saying "Lilo, lilo" (milo) until she gets one lol (milo for breakfast is one of our routines). She is sleeping once in the day, for about 2 hours, and 12 hours at night (yay, says me!) and is starting to tell us when she needs to do toilet, although is a long way off TT yet.

We're having a small party for her on Saturday afternoon and when we were at the supermarket today I gave her a pack of biguns to hold (a special treat) and told her what they were for - and for the rest of the trip she held on tightly and said "party - chippies - eat it!!"

How about yours?]]> Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:18:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=185740&title=how-does-this-work#185740 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=185732&title=how-does-this-work#185732 Author: marielb

Hi!
Where does everyone chat with people who have kids the same age as theirs (I have a 2 year old)???
Is there a July 05 babies place or does everyone chat here together??????
Not sure and just wondered ]]> Tue, 24 Jul 2007 20:10:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9412&PID=185732&title=how-does-this-work#185732
