Miles is doing a sterling job with the potty.
I have moved it into the bathroom and he goes in there now. i thought he would stress that the bathroom is too far away from where i am and drag me in there with him but nope he just went and sat on it and pooped or pee'd!
Its great, im saving a fortune in nappies!
I will train Greta - or attempt to towards the end of this year, probably around Christmas time again just after she turns one - although ive read with girls that 22 months is the prime time - but Greta has done everything else late so im sure that will be too bless her.
She bit me this morning, crawled over to me and just bit me. So in a firm voice i said "NO" and sat her on the floor a little distance from me, well she looked at me and sobbed - felt so mean, i didn't yell at her or raise my voice i just said a NO in a firm voice but she howled and the tear ran - needless to say i picked her up and she nuzzled her chin into my neck and had a big cuddle - she loves to cuddle. I guess she is just not used to me telling her off - heaven forbid if i ever get cross and snap at her!! it would be full on major tanty - although i cant see me doing that she's too little... and cute lol! Wuss i know! Well i cant have done too bad a job, Miles is a perfectly behaved little man :)
She slept from 6.30pm - 8.30am! Id say it was the heat that knocked her out but i think its just that she likes to sleep haha. She actually woke while i was speaking to my Mum on the phone - it was her 63rd birthday on New Years Day, so we rang to wish her a Happy Birthday and Miles was chatting to her when Greta yelled Mama, so i went to get her and forget to give her a cup of milk. She usually has a cup with a straw in of milk every morning and i forgot to give it to her - she didnt seem to mind. So we had brekkie and i remembered it. Then i gave it to her afterwards and she usually drinks about half of it in a morning but actually polished the lot off! i think it holds about 80mls - so quite a lot for her. 50mls or so is usually her limit, although he often does 70mls or so in her evening one before bed so i was quite shocked.. she isnt a huge milk fan. Although now we have taken the bottle away - back in Sept, a couple days before she turned 1, she does drink much more from a cup that she did from the bottle.. we threw all the bottles out anyway, i think she was glad to see the back of them! She LOVES her cup and has 3 drinks of milk a day. probably about 150mls in total throughout the day. However she eats like a piglet! We went to a party the other day and there were nibbles on the table - she literally just sat on the table in the middle of all the food and ate for the entire 2.5 hrs we were there! never moved once! I did sit her on the floor at one stage but she cried so i put her back on the table - LOVES to eart - which is new for me as Miles loves to NOT eat haha!
But she is still petite, she is like a little doll - or so EVERYONE tells me. i wonder if she really is petite or if its that she has so much hair she seems older than her 15 months (today!) .. either way she is perfect.. Love having a little girl they are so much fun. Not sure if its having a girl or just her gorgeous personality.. jonathan keeps saying to her that she can't be both pretty and funny - she likes to make us laugh. Adorable.
And a very clever 3 yr old for using his potty - SO PROUD :) It just clicked with him on the 3rd day.
7 weeks till my parents come visit - cant wait!
Im going on a little holiday with them to canberra and marimbula i think.. looking forward to that.
Jonathan is having a lie in. He pretty much gets up to the kids EVERY day, he's an early riser..so on a Sunday he gets up to them, then when i get up - 8am today, he goes and has a couple extra hours. He's a star with them. he gets up at 6.30am or 7am or whenever Miles gets up and looks after him and then gets Greta up and then wakes me about 7.30am so he can get ready for work.
On a Saturday he leaves me till 9.30am - winner :)
Well i only cleaned half the house on Friday and it was 40 *C yesterday so way too hot to finish it off so im goin to finish it off today.
