So to liven things up post something good and bad your kid's done lately.
This discussion has been closed.
Re: This board is dead!
I'll start:
Good - Started saying the occasional 3 word sentences.
Bad - Started taking his PJ's off at bedtime.

Sign that she's ready for potty training? Takes diapo off gets little butt sat on potty?

Mikey was a horrific sleeper, then an awesome sleeper, and is now going through a phase where he wakes up and whines in his sleep before laying back down.
My Blog
Good: Giving Kisses
Bad: Biting
Could they be one in the same???
Good, my 13 month old started is now able to back up his push cart and do three point turns and walk in reverse.
Bad, he is currently staging a hunger strike and had crackers and keffir for dinner... Sometimes he can be so picky about food...
Good - counted to five in German and English today
Bad - refuses to eat at dinner and only eats crackers out of the bag, or have her meal in the bath tub
Good: K swept. K wiped down walls. K wiped floor. K put toys away. K put diapers in the garbage. K picked up crayons. S figured out how to clap. T brought in the groceries and put some away (it was her bedtime, she was off the hook). E asked less than 400 questions today and swam in the deep end of the pool with no float aids (I got a 10 minute commentary on this). L only used one offensive word tonight. DH actually put groceries away. I should have got a pic.
Bad: K crushed crackers all over the couch. K peed in 6 places on the floor. Because she had to pee, duh. K pulled out half the toys I put in boxes to go to the storage unit. K tried to change S's diaper. K used T's Lipsmackers to draw hearts on the bathroom wall. K did a drawing of a house and something else (an animal, I think) on my kitchen wall in orange crayon. K gave herself a haircut. E watched all of this happen in the 10 minutes I was in the shower. Clearly I wasn't meant to be clean ever again. And I would love to know how one can cut their hair with baby nail clippers (weird). Oh, and S learned to copy the gawd awful shriek her sister's do. Fingernails down chalkboard.
Good thing is everything they can get into will be packed away and gone!! Sigh....
I like this post!
DD good - Rolling, rolling, rolling, starting to put knee up, so crawling is around the corner.
DD bad -not bad, more of a concern. No inclination of saying Mama or dada, just screeching. I know I'll be regretting the no talking thing later on.
DS good - Starting to be interested in potty training, Yea!
DS bad - "I can't" & whining. Drives me up a frickin' wall.
Good: She loves to be outside
Bad: she refuses to eat anything grown outside in favor of noodles, crackers, etc.
Great idea!
Good-starting to say all sorts of things. Mostly NO and I DO THAT! But hey, it's words. Repeats everything.. good or bad. Obsessed with his truck and tractor books and constantly wants me to tell him what kind of truck is in the pictures. Constantly. We started going to a weekly play class and he's slowly starting to get better at playing with other kids.
Bad--really getting out of control with the crazy climbing on things. Can't 100% get him off the bottle, but we're close and still barely eats food. Still desperately needs a haircut! And the worst--I still can't find my camera patch cable!!! My DH "put" it somewhere and now he can't remember where. ARGH.
Yeah, some helpful person in my house does crap like this. I desperately need the charger for my dslr battery, I really need to take pictures.
Good: He's starting to say new words
Bad: But he doesn't talk too much. Probably my fault for letting him have the pacifier but I am weak and am not stopping yet since he SLEEPS.

Good - She has learned how to climb down properly from the couch, chair, and bed. I'm so glad she doesn't just do a header off.
Bad - She wants to climb constantly on the couch, chair and bed! She needs a tiny boost up from Mommy still. Once she doesn't, I will be nervous!
Also good - Trying out new words like shoe and juice.
Also bad - Only saying them for a day and then never saying them again.
Oh they are. M was loving on Daddy and playing between his legs. Daddy just had on jammy pants. Michael bit him on a very sensitive spot. No more playing between legs.
Good: can point to his nose when asked
Bad: has been waking up in the middle of the night for the last two nights.
Good: Having fun climbing and trying to walk
Bad: On an afternoon nap strike, unless I drive around in the car. Um, with the price of gas, this can't keep happening! Also, we got the go ahead for whole milk and it appears he doesn't really like it. (drank the 1st bottle and now takes like 3 oz, not his usual 7) Also bad...likes to throw pacifier out of the crib when we put him down for the night. Cries until some one comes gets it! (bad, bad, bad)
Five year old. Good - gave up candy for lent (I told him he was too young to give something up but he pitched a fit until he could). Bad - torments the dog and then asks "Did Dora tell you tell something?"
One month old. Good - learned to smile. Bad - made me want another one!
Hmmm...
Good: he can count to 10 in Turkish and knows some of those numbers in Spanish and English too. But for some reason he only knows the whole sequence in Turkish, interesting. I think it's bc DH keeps teaching him that and I should step up my Spanish letters and numbers lessons.
Bad: He's learned to scream with a super-annoying high pitch to get what he wants. Telling him "no screaming" is not working right now.
Good: He loves to throw trash into the trashcan.
Bad: Sometimes things that aren't trash go in there, too.
Good: He speaks a lot. One thing he says daily is "all done" when he's finished eating.
Bad: When we go out to eat, he says "all done" and wants out of the high chair before our food even arrives. Our days of eating out are very short-lived.
Cool post!!
DD Good: She has been listening to us and seems to be learning from the consequences we are giving when she doesn't. Also, she is sleeping pretty well without waking up at night and has been much less clingy to me - a couple nights ago she chose to stay behind with MIL and FIL instead of riding along with me to pick up DH from the train (unheard of!)
DD Bad: She still had a bad day at school with naptime on Tuesday, screaming and giving the teacher a hard time. On the plus side, she did great on Thursday.
DS Good: He has gotten his top two teeth and has one more on top that is just about to cut through (so that is a total of 5). He is doing great with eating solids, we just started stage 2 jars and he is finishing a whole jar twice a day; he is also drinking water and prune juice from sippy cups. My nanny just told me he has begun to pull himself to standing on his toys (yikes!). And the big one is that he started taking a bottle again after striking for a couple of weeks.
DS Bad: Not napping well, they tend to be short little catnaps mostly. Having a really hard time getting to bed at night; I nurse then rock him to sleep and about 7 times out of 10 he is waking up when I lay him down then crying inconsolably until I nurse him again and then rock him for like 15 minutes. I had several nights in which I spent between 1-2 hours putting him to bed. Ugh. It seems to be getting better now, though.
