Forum: Age 2+ Toddler Years

I know, I know...I'm one to talk!!!! But where did everybody go??? The last 9 months of my life have been chaos, but I miss talking to all of you! Hope that everyone and their LO's are doing well. Hugs, Bash

Right now my life is very complicated and I am at a loss for what to do. I was married in November of 2007, we got separated in March of 2010. During that time I was married I had my daughter (we will call Rose) who turned 2 in may and a son who is due in July. Thats not really the complicated part...

My ds is turning 2 next week and goes to daycare during the day for about 5 hours. He has always liked going and we have never really had any problems. Recently he friends were moved from his room to the older room as they are all 2. DS is the youngest by a couple of months. So now the kids in...

Hi ! My dd has eczema and we use cortisone cream on her body and cetaphil or QV to bath her but so far I can't find anything which can relieve her head itching especially when she starts sweating. (we are living near the equator ha ha) Anybody got good shampoo or lotion for the head to share ?...

Is it normal for a two year old to walk around bruised on their shins, sometimes on her head (like today :(), even on her arms? I mean, are all of yours just Stumbelina like mine is? Do people think that she's abused when they see her? Or do they think she's 2? LOL

I know that many of you have had experience with this many times over. Now Mimi has it. It seems to be a mild case. No daycare, no ANYWHERE else. But, she has it. Tell me any and all of it. I want to know what to expect. Oh, and if someone else in your house caught it.

Our 2yo has gotten quite cantankerous at bedtime. Having a new baby in the house is likely not helping. We've always been loosey goosey on her bedtime routine. I think it's time to get more systematic about it -- or at least give it a good try. What is your bedtime routine? Do you have...

I seem to have a toddler that is well behaved at day care and follows instructions from teachers. With me, it is a different story. Like at the grocery store, he is running around like a maniac - and me too, after him yelling don't touch this or that or don't pull this or that off the shelves. And...

Hey. My little one is such a firecracker that there isn't a day that passes when I almost pee my pants from laughing because of her. Lately, here are the top three in the past three weeks: She jumped on a rocking horse at my Mom's house and cried "Wahoo!" with her one hand in the air, like...

How the heck did that happen? Exactly two years ago I was sitting here, very early in the morning, debating whether or not I was really in labor or just having more of my beloved braxton hicks contractions! Oh...and answering my cell phone over and over again because my mother kept pocket calling...

I think I mentioned in another post that my biological father was in the hospital. He passed away on Thursday afternoon. My parents divorced when I was six and he basically disappeared from my life. My stepfather adopted me (and I consider him to be my real father) and we had on again/off again...

Who would've thunk it? LOLOL My little 2 y.o. is a daredevil, always talking, always laughing, never walks anywhere but runs, jumps, hops, or skips kinda girl. So, we were thrilled this year when we went to the shore house over the Memorial Day weekend and she almost pooped in her pants when the...

The other day, I was wiping the floor up on my hands and knees (an almost everyday occurrence due to my 2 y.o. flinging food, but that's another story ), and I was saying to myself, I love this floor because it's not linoleum (it's laminate). All of a sudden, that old Ernie and Bert skit was in...

Well, I tell people my daughter is two, but then it's like a mini shock, "What? When did THAT happen?" LOL And yes, I'm late to the party. Hope you don't mind if I come crashing every once in a blue moon. :D

Welcome to your littlest one!

Did you survive? Are you breathing now? Wow, I can't believe you're baby is going through communion? How exciting and fun! Point me to pictures if you have any posted somewhere! And congrats!

Okay, so traumatic is the word of the day. My little guy turns 2 today. Gosh, I sure wish he would stay little forever.

Well, her birthday was on April 3rd. I forgot to move...I even forgot to change her "ticker" until yesterday. DUH. I guess I'm in complete denial...except for the fact that less than 24 hours after her 2nd birthday, her temper became about 100X worse... We've been going through the terrible...

Yesterday, I gave Mimi Gerber Graduates (yuk) chicken and noodles with veggies. She loved it, eating, and eating, and eating. When she was done, about one hour later, I noticed she looked like she had something in her mouth. ALL OF THE (*&^&*^&(&)*(&) CHICKEN WAS STILL ON HER TONGUE! How in the...

Sad to say we started time outs with DD just before she turned 2. We try to overlook as much of her 'willful' behavior as possible -- ignore it, distract, give second chances and so on. But she has a few things (spitting out her drinks on purpose on the floor, for example) where we feel we have...

WHY? I have heard this word a million times in the last few days. She has even mastered the arm shrug to go with it. It is so funny, yet so frustrating. Hopefully this will be a short lived stage. Anyone else's LO doing anything new, frustrating, or funny? Kailey has also decided she must do...

I was just wondering if anyone has made the journey from the 1 year old board to here. Hopefully someone will show up.

My youngest son is 33 months old. About a month ago, he started getting up and coming out of his room on his own. This happens in the middle of the night occasionally. He also gets up very early in the mornings. It also happens frequently during naptime. So, I put a doorknob cover on the inside of...

Come visit us on the Potty Training Board! See my siggie for link.

I guess it is just a phase, but my 2 y/o hates me. He flips out when I touch him. He bites, kicks, and hits me. He screams "no mommy" when he sees me. He loves DH and everyone else. He ran up to another mom at baseball and was petting her hair calling her mom, and when I went to grab him, he...
