not that exciting

My printer works yay!

So, I'm admiring stuff on the ikea site,yes i'm a loser hahaha.The boys are grumpy,mostly Tyson. If you think you're 2 year old is a shocker come see Tyson,not a day goes by ithout 5 or more tantrums or outburts.
cody was never that bad. It's like Tyson is going through the terrible 2's for the both of them.

bedtimes are chaotic here, cody after almost 2 and half years of the same routine now goes to bed very easily.Tyson is now the one who wont sleephe thinks he can live without sleep,which he is yet to show me.Charlie goes to bed easily.he has a feed and often falls asleep while feeding.

day off

Cody has the day off from kinder today i didnt like the sound of the cough he got overnight.So we are off to the Dr's later,quite fun taking 3 children under 4 to the Dr's.It's even more fun when the clinic is busy,cody dislikes crowds.I dont think he is that sick but I want tobe sure his chest is clear the cough made it sound like it wasn't.

Tyson is coming along nicely with potty training,he still has the odd occasion where he forgets to go to the potty or doesn't get there in time.

charlie has been a bit spewy latley i am unsure of if its his cold or teething making him spewy.he had reflux as a newborn.


Well, I'm thinking of making charlie a cot set just need to figure out colours,I was thinking maybe yellow blue and white.I have to make a weighted blanket for tyson,it's going to have a cover and be toddler bed size.Once tyson's blanket is done i will upload photos to my sewing blog (yes i have a whole another blog hahaha).

I have been looking at the kids bedroom themes shops sell and yes it's nice. But what doyou dowhen you have kidswho will more then likely break the stuff you took ages to choose? Well Cody and Tyson now share aroom, they have no fancytheme in their room. The walls are decorated by their paintings.So it looks sort of like a post modern/abstract art gallery inthere.

just me & the boys

Well allan went out for the day and night to a birthday party that I didnt want to go to.So I stayed home with the boys. somehow i have managed to get all 3 down to bed by 8:30pm. We had domino's pizza for dinnerbit of a rebellion as allan dislikes dominos so never get to order it hahaha.


Well before i go off totidy the house a bit i thought i'd write a bit about me and the rest of this nuthouse.

Cody

Cody is 4 on anzac day, although in height he looks the same age as Tyson. What he lacks in sizehe makes up for in personality. He has a global developmental delay (GDD). Heis a bright kid ho just hasan expressive speech delay and needs a bit of help with some fine motor skills and social skills and with his moods.Cody does what his EI call self harm behaviour he hurts himself when he's peeved or upset.

He loves animals and idolises steve & bindi irwin. He is very attached to our cat and to charlie. In fact cody is the only person to get charlie laughing hysterically.He is fully potty trained now.He has a fascination with computers,numbers,music and colours.He loves to dance.
Allan says there is nothing wrong with cody he could be right ,we dont know.Cody goes to preschool 3 days a week (tuesday &friday mornings and wednesday afternoons).He does speech therapy once a fortnight and EI once a fortnight.

Tyson

Tyson is 3 in october,just started potty training,he still has the odd accident but he is learning.he has learnt a fair bit of codys agressiveness and it comes out in tyson alot so at the moment we are working on toning that down.He tries not to talk but we are trying to encourage him to use his words.As i know he has a big vocab he just isnt much of a talker.

His favourite show is Ni Hao Kia-Lan ,dora the explorer . He has learnt chinese from kai-lan. He loves music,sport,horses,animals,food. His favourite thing to eat is cheese.He thinks he is cody's twin.he goes to playgroup friday mornings.

Charlie

Charlie is a happy baby he smiles and giggles.He is a chatterbox,full of goo's and gah's (even t 1am!) He loves to play on the floor he can roll and hold his head up well but isnt able to sit for very long un-assisted yet.He looks just like Tyson did at same age.





Life with a truckie as a partner is no more different to having a partner who works long hours.The only difference is Allan spends his day driving round melbourne and surrounding areas in a truck,most days he is home by 3pm the latest he has got home is 4:30pm. Last year he crashed his truck 3times, the thought of him hurting himself or worse someone else in a crash does scare me.

The mad dash

cody had kinder today so this morning was a mad dash to preschool,his group started at 9am. I took charlie in the ergo carrier and left tyson to snooze (allan was home). 20 minues lter i signed cody into preschool and then made the journey home.

Tyson had woken up and went looking for me. So we went to playgroup at 10am and he loved playing with the other children.11:45am we made the mad dash to cody's preschool to pick cody up,we got there 10 minutes late.

then 4pm cody had speech therapy for 50mins,its a 45min drive away too.But it's worth ithe has come a long way in speech.

now i'm waiting for these two to go to sleep,charlie long conked out.

"What have you done today?"

The question "What have you done today?", drives me nuts. I could recite a to the second of my day, but this isn't the type of answer the questioning person wants. While I may not have got the house display home clean,its tidy.

Today I changed several of charlie's nappies. Gave cuddles after TJ fell off cody's bed.Offered a cuddle after TJ had an accident and cried.We made pancakes for breakfast.I did more then one load of washing. And now its time for Cody & TJ to nap.

Before anyone was up this morning I disposed of the mouse in the mouse trap.

That's what i did today it might not seem like much but in 3 boys lives,it makes a difference.
