Re: Moms with Toddlers - 2.13.17
Ok. We have had lots of snow as of late, so theres just a lot of TV time and just hanging around the house. But overall I feel like we are managing...
What's your biggest challenge this week?
Reducing screen time. We have gotten in the habit of having the TV on most of the day. I want to be able to do more activities with DD1, but DD2 can be really demanding on top of trying to squeeze pumping in and just the day to day household stuff. I think working toward a solid schedule/routine is what I need to do...
Rants/Raves/Questions:
The Ok to Wake clock has been working well!! I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with sleep regression. I will add that we also put a gate up in front of DD1's door now at night just for safety purposes since she was getting up in the middle of the night and wandering. So sometimes we deal with her opening the door and yelling for us from the gate, but overall she understands that once the clock turns green its ok to get out of bed.

Next item to tackle soon will be taking the Paci away.... any tried and true methods? She only has it for nap and bed time but its going to be a tough habit to break...

Get my pre-mommy me back. I am saving up for my next tattoo which is helping me feel a little more like "me" and a good reminder that I am more than just a mom right now... I still have an identity that precedes that. And then working toward getting my body back before summer. Pumping is helping to keep weight gain at bay, but I am really not putting as much effort as I should be into making healthier eating choices.
Doing pretty good! We've found our new normal and DS has adjusted well to the baby
What's your biggest challenge this week?
Returning to work Monday (today), closing on a house this Friday and moving this weekend...!!!

Being happy with myself, as is. Not the weight I want to be, the size I want to be, the Pinterest mom my son's peers mom's are....just me. I'm pretty cool, as I am
I might just toss them all and deal with the screaming. Or cut the tip so she doesn't like it. I've read about having a send off ceremony like tying one to a balloon and releasing it but I'm not sure DD would tolerate that.
