mine?

Well gang it is getting late and I am tired plus DS is STILL awake and lately until everyone is in bed he doesn't seem to fall asleep. It seems we have a shadow living in his room that will not leave. DH and I are tired of the shadow and I don't think DS thought we were taking him seriously enough because he went crying to his room that he was going to Grandma's and was never coming back home. Poor kid... He has a nightlight and the hall light is on, we have tried all kind of tactics to make the shadow leave but apparently he is stubborn. I don't know what else to do. DS has never had a problem being afraid of anything so this is new territory for us. I expected this kind of stuff from a 2 year old not a 4 year old...guess I don't know very much.

I recommend "Monster Spray" or "Shadow Spray" it did wonders when we sprayed it in DD's room and then gave her a bottle next to her bed in case she saw any.....

IDK are there?

 

[kimerinc]

Oh by the way I had to take the "twins" to get their picture taken today.

Would that be a baseline picture or a regular picture?

We actually thought about that but DS LOVES to play with spray bottles and on occassion has taken them to use to "fight" bad guys with and his entire room ends up soaked. I don't think he would ever go to sleep because he would have too much fun. That is when we tried the magic but apparently the shadow was still there.

Hi all! I am going to try to stay up later tonight. Unfortunatley for me, the viral bronchitus turned into pneumonia dispite my best efforts. DH and my entire family are on the adventure, so I have been saving all my energy for her and go to bed as soon as she does. I hate pneumonia! Stupid lungs, I asked for a transplant and the dr looked at me like I had lost brain cells..

I don't like chocolate (yes I know that is horrible to say)

So sorry for the pneumonia; that's miserable.

But had to laugh about the chocolate. DD13 doesn't like it either; never did. People look at her like she's crazy.

On this same topic, was it weird that they only used thier forearms and never anything else? Also, were the books in the room designed to scare the ()*&(* out of you? I didn't even know I was supposed to be scared until I read the pamphlets...

Their "yearly" picture. I try to be a good mom and take them at least once a year! A couple haven't been real good and we have had to go back but then they were fine!

People look at me and I can see in thier eyes "then how come you aren't thin". My response is usually, well I like everything else, so I can more than make up for it in the Ice Cream food group..

[lbgraves]

We went to the aquarium with the twins.....really! I tell you what....they are a magnet in public. The kids are enjoying getting their baby fix with them since I have told them that they wont be getting their own baby. Oh, forgot to tell you guys that MIL told us that DH's cousin's wife is pregnant...with twins! That's the run in this generation. They thought that I had them with DS because I was measuring so big already. The doctor told me that either I was further along than we thought or there was more than one. My sister was pregnant with twins twice & lost one each time.

LOL! Oh, I wish that I had that problem! Chocolate is not my friend.

You are a good mom! And what a lovely way to look at it...

Actually really nice magazines in the room we were waiting in, PEOPLE, LIVING, COTTAGE LIVING..... nothing scary

 

[pyramid2000]

I'm on page 325 trying to catch up.

OMG!! 325 or 825???

 

[87Heel]

Don't stress it! DS was 4 1/2. DD was closer to 4 before it was final. She started at 3 but reverted back to pull ups.

But shallow selfish me wants him to be able to go to the kids club on the ship!!

 

[becka]

I have not had to have pictures taken of the "twins" yet but they have had to have serveral ultrasounds because they have fibrocystic disease. I am supposed to eliminate caffiene and chocolate to help them but it is just too hard. I am a bad Mommy....

 

[pyramid2000]

You go girl! Once John is asleep, I am out the door everynight!!

 

[lbgraves]

I pushed DD for the same reason but she didn't want to go...so what was the point? LOL! I think that the toilets on the ship were a part of her reverting as well.

 

[MommyMinnie]

My sister was pregnant with twins twice & lost one each time.

That means her children are already halfway to heaven.
