I hope us moms of 3/4yo's become...

[mylittlelovebugs]

...as close as all the other "birth month mamas". :love:

2004 moms didn't really get 'into' a BMT like the years after us :worry:

I really want the closeness these mamas share :o: I know when things get nuts on the board every winter, I would like to have a retreat to go to and feel 'safe' from all the hooplah...just to chat and really get to know one another. :throb:

[bka83]

I think it's nice to have another place to come too (although my birth mom's seem to be a great group of ladies - I just joined a little late).

How have you been Tracy?

I can't wait until the warm weather. I'm feeling a little(lot) couped up with these kids!

I said the same thing to my dh the other day. I want one "BIG" snowstorm. You know, to build a snowman and make angels with the kids. I tell you, we both think alike. I was hoping for a big snowstorm last Friday. We hardly got a dusting.

[virginiagirl74]

I'll bet we will all be close. Some of us are already! I am sick of the drama here and the rude people. NOT ALLOWED in 3/4 y/o forum!!!! I cannot believe that R&H will be 3 very very soon. I am working on their party as we speak.

[double dip]

Angie- we had our girls birthday party last week (24 kids & 20 adults) Whew! I was wondering what you decided!!! I remember you posting about trying to decide.

I admit I tend to only have "time" for my birthmonth thread. I read all over but have such little time I don't post that much. I agree that it is nice to always have a place to come to for support. The ladies on my birthmonth thread rock! But I know you do too (Tracy whom I had the pleasure of meeting and Angie whom I've appreciated so many of your insights) and are very supportive of the other mommies on the board (as soooo many others on the boards). (bka83- I am looking forward to getting to know ya!)

Anyway I am glad for this forum and will be trying to keep up with y'all!:)

Awww! You are so sweet Kristin! :joytears:

You will find that Barb is the most kind-hearted, gentle soul you'll ever "meet." Love me some Barb! :love:

Birthday Update: I have decided on the Curious George theme. They love George and the theme is easier to find than Super Why. DH and I have been building a GINORMOUS play structure for their birthday present so that all the little kiddies can climb and swing like monkeys at the party. :proud:

[Jennie331]

That sounds like fun Angie! My kids haven't really gotten into Curious George :chin:

I think I'm in for a "Cars" theme this year :rolleyes:

Tracy- for the record my girls just turned THREE!!!!!!!

Angie- Curious George should be fun! The play structure sounds cool.

I know a lot of the moms that have kids just a little older than me as I like to lurk on their posts and see what I can learn from them and what to expect in the near future:snicker:

Hi Barb & Hi Jennie too :hello: I've seen your posts lots too and feel like I know you even though I'm not sure if I've ever posted on one of your threads :sorry:

We have cabin fever too. Friday I dug us out of 9 inches snow. I really want a snow blower. The girls alternate between tolerating the snow to loving it.

[helene1108]

Hi all...I was happy to see this forum too!! I usually stick to the "birth month" for my youngest twins as most of us went through our pregnancies together...those ladies are awesome!!! At the same time, I'd love to chat with other moms in the 3/4 group as well...so I'm happy to be here and looking forward to getting to know you all better (well, some of you I have seen around but don't know that well!)

[bka83]

Hi, Helene and Mymarvins!

I'm Barb. Mom to Kayleigh and Clay (7/15/03), Scott (almost 16), and Kevin (18). My dh is Steve and we've been married for 21 yrs.

Angie and Tracy - You're making me blush. Both of you are two sweet!

[TQLeo]

:wavey: to all you wonderful ladies.

[helene1108]

Hi Barb, looking forward to getting to know you better!! Married for 21 years??? Wow, you must share your secret to success!! DH and I have been married for 5 yrs and on most days I wanna slap him upside the head with a frying pan! J/K...I think??

Mymarvins, your girls were born just 2 days after Cole and Bella!

[RIMA]

May I join in as well.

I agree I would like one good snow. We moved from FL to Ohio 6 months ago and Tues it is supposed to be warmer here than there.

[Mom of 5]

DH and I have been building a GINORMOUS play structure for their birthday present so that all the little kiddies can climb and swing like monkeys at the party. :proud::clap: That's awesome, Angie!
Oh my goodness Mine have watched Cars SOOOO much they know all the lines and have everyone of the 'cars'..Michael and I LOVE that movie!:cloud9:Would you believe we have never seen "Cars"? They have Cars pajamas and some of the toy cars, but have not seen the movie.
yes Barb is most certainly one of the sweetest ladies on here!!!!:throb::nod: :throb:

[bka83]

Rima - :hello: I live in Ohio. Our weather is horrible, isn't it!!

Kayleigh and Clay had different themes for their 3rd birthdays. Kayleigh had a butterfly theme and Clay had construction trucks.

Angie - I think Curious George will be a cute theme. I thought I saw birthday plates, cups, etc. when I was shopping last month. You'll have to take a pic of the playset. BTW - How are you feeling from the other day? Any soreness today?

Tracy - Clay loves Cars! He watches it all the time. Kayleigh's not too thrilled with it. She'd rather watch her Barbie movies.:snicker:

Helene - Secret of marriage? Patience, communication, and space!!:snicker: Those first 10 yrs. were hard on us. I think we were both trying to find out who we were/are. I guess we've found ourselves. If you can make it through those first years, I believe, you're on your way to a happy marriage (well, most of the time).:snicker:

To all the others - :hello:

[mrsljb]

Hi ladies...I'm so excited about this new section. I know alot of you from the buzz though. I LOVE all the ladies on my BMT...apparantly, we are one of the more active threads on the board (Jan/Feb 2005), but I am looking forward to getting to know more of you.

As for the snow...we just had our big winter storm...11 inches the other day, 4 more inches last night, and we are expecting more snow tomorrow night, bringing us another 3-4 inches....I'm so done with snow and cold.

Angie...My boys LOVE George! But they like Thomas better, so that was the theme that we did this year...

[virginiagirl74]

Thanks! I bought some favors and decorations from "birthday express." I will def. take pictures of the play set. My shoulders and biceps are still sore, but not my back now, Thank goodness!

[mylittlelovebugs]

Ang- can't wait to see the play structure! Is it the wooded ones like at Sams Club??
It took Michael a week to put ours together with very little help from anyone but Justin.

Oh this should be a fun thread! I'll try to post here too, but I've barely been keeping up with my BMT. Fortunately, our BMT has become a very close knit group of moms. I'm sure we'll all get together here!

It is similar. We bought the slide and the other hardware and DH went and bought the lumber and he is measuring, cutting and building it himself. I played in the "clubhouse" yesterday. :blush:

[helene1108]

Tracy, I love your play structure!! We have one similar to yours and Cole and Bella really enjoyed playing with it last summer!

[nateandmel]

I am here too! And excited to have somewhere for my kiddos age to post more.

Fortunately, our BMT has become a very close knit group of moms. I'm sure we'll all get together here!`I hope they start to venture over here too :pray: I really have wanted moms with same age children to get to know and get closer to- I get jealous hearing about how the BMM's are close knit - I need that too :o:

How do you like it? How is the quality? We're thinking about getting one for the girls this spring. Honestly I think it's okay- I feel for the money we pay for it and having to assemble EVERYTHING you see in the picture -absolutely NOTHING was pre assembled- the wood could be of better quality :shrug:
I mean it is nice and we do get up top with the kiddos but I think if it's not water sealed every yr it will deteriorate quickly.

It is similar. We bought the slide and the other hardware and DH went and bought the lumber and he is measuring, cutting and building it himself. I played in the "clubhouse" yesterday. :blush:
WOW - awesome Dh Ang!!!
It's a job I tell ya! I was so proud of him (even though he didn't cut and measure the wood himself) for assembling this structure basically alone- It was a monster! Every nut bolt screw and nail was put in by him.:proud:
Tracy, I love your play structure!! We have one similar to yours and Cole and Bella really enjoyed playing with it last summer! How is yours holding up?

Yep, he is. :throb:

I helped build it too! WE were joking when we were digging holes and pouring concrete to set the base at 10pm Sat. night, that one day that would be a fond memory!

I can keep up with forums though if different topics are labeled :D Just can't keep up with the 'running conversations'.

I'm not anti-social.... I'm just socially inept :snicker:

[helene1108]

Tracy, our play structure is holding up okay, though it can be a little wobbly when the kids are swinging on it but DH assures me it's safe. He has yet to seal the wood and probably never will b/c he's a huge procrastinator so I hope it holds up through the next few years!

[RIMA]

She is having another root and a possible extration again. She has an enamel def and after her surgery her teeth have kicked the bucket and now I am trying to repair them some. At first they thought it was her severe gerd that was doing it to her teeth but now they are not so sure.

[virginiagirl74]

Dang it! I forget that you have all those Charles/Charleys!!! Sorry!

My BF in high school had to get the whole enamel repair thing done too. What a pain! I served my time too, with braces, retainers...etc. UGH!

I have has the braces and stuff too. I hate that my poor baby can't get a break. She lives at the doc for one thing or another. She asked me why man-man never goes to the docter while we were walking in to her gi specialist and I about cried I felt so bad.

Angie - Are you still sore from building your playset the other day? BTW - If we lived closer, dh would've dug your holes. He has a Bobcat with all the gadgets. He owns his own small construction company. He's slow with work lately, so I'm dying for him to get some work so he can get out of the house.

Thank Goodness, no, I am no longer sore. My neighbor has an auger on his tractor, but we couldn't find him when we needed him! :DOH!: I wish your dh lived closer too...plus, that would mean that YOU would live closer too! :love:

Hey ladies! I got in on my birth month thread too late I guess and I was due end of May but delivered in April so didn't know where I belonged. So I would love to join you all on here and feel like I have a home here :snicker:
This 3/4 yr old forum was a great idea! Hope I can keep up with all the posts here though.

[LG37]

Helene ours wobbles too when all of then are swing on it but the structure itself stays put- We really need to seal ours this yr-

:hmm: Maybe I should let dh build it. He really wants to do it and he is very handy (he just built our deck). But it takes much longer and somehow seems like it always costs us more :shrug:

You'd better not go anywhere...everyone is slowly disappearing and there are so many that I miss seeing all the time.

I'm tired of the drama too, so I just stay clear of it and go to my BMT mostly, and now here.

Good luck with Charley today!

Thank you . I wish the horses were mine. We went to TN the first week in Jan. and the girls were able to ride. We had a great time. We are looking to buy some horses next year. My parents are moving back to Ohio and we will be able to keep them on their place.

just checking in today!

Barb - my college roommate was from bellefountaine. she worked at the honda plant in marysville in high school. I have been there several times!

Ohio weather has been crazy.

anyone have any ideas on rashes???? dd had one on the top of her bottom and a little up her back. it would be where the rim of the panties touches her. the only thing I can think of is that she was at my moms and possibly the detergent??? but its no where else except there. she is fully potty trained.

thanks!

I've been a TMMB member for a while, but haven't posted regularly in a long time since having a 3rd baby in Dec. 2006. I recognize a lot of the names and children. Glad to be back!

Thank you . I wish the horses were mine. We went to TN the first week in Jan. and the girls were able to ride. We had a great time. We are looking to buy some horses next year. My parents are moving back to Ohio and we will be able to keep them on their place.

Those pictures with them on the horses are :cloud9: I am hoping to take the girls to ride a horse when we go up to northren WI for our vacation. My parents did that with us when we were kids and I always looked forward to it. Last year the girls wanted to go so bad, but I had to tell them they needed to be a little bigger. Believe me, they don't let me forget it. :snicker:

:wave: Hi - I've not been on much but enjoy reading that everyone is experiencing the same things as me!

Are any of your girls over the top w/drama? DD seems to just MELT at the drop of a pen! She also seems to want to eat only bread and apple juice and actually gags when something she doesn't like touches her lips! :meditate:

[catarina]

i am so thrilled with the new meeting place...
as you can see, i am not one who normally posts, however, i do read and visit daily for advice (if there is any to be found)...
my girls' birth month isn't an active month for tmmb-ers...so maybe i can feel at home here :proud:
btw, i am ashley...married to david for 8 years in april...mother of avery and olivia, who turned three in october

:shakehands: so glad to meet you all!!

Welcome, I hope you like it here. There's a bunch of great Moms in this section.

The girls loved riding and ask everyday to go again. I am glad we took the time to go the girls have a great memory and we had a fun family activity.

My DD has been horseback riding for almost a year now and she absolutely loves it! We go now a few times a week because she likes to help her instructor with the beginner lessons and turn out some of the other horses.

When I bring the boys with me to the barn, Kevin loves to give the horses treats, but Kyle just says 'no thanks'. I think when the weather is nicer I'm going to leave Kyle at home and bring Kevin up for a pony ride and see how he does.

Carrie...It still could be the detergent...that spot might just be more senstive then other areas...any other changes? If you think that it's a reaction to something you could probably give her a little Benadryl.

[LG37]

anyone have any ideas on rashes???? dd had one on the top of her bottom and a little up her back. it would be where the rim of the panties touches her. the only thing I can think of is that she was at my moms and possibly the detergent??? but its no where else except there. she is fully potty trained.

thanks!

Does she wear jeans a lot? I've noticed that Lily gets this a lot from her jeans rubbing on her back. We never had a problem until she became potty trained. I guess the diaper goes up higher in the back :shrug: I use CeraVe cream (hard to find, but CVS usually has it) on her after bath and it seems to do the trick. Good luck!

[carrie22]

she did have jeans on that day? hmmm. doesnt wear them too often, but I will keep an eye on it now. I just rewashed everything that my mom had washed to be safe, so we will see. she also must dig her nails in when she pulls down her pants, because she always has scratches on either side of her bum where she would put her fingers. stange really!

Thanks!

[heavensentme4]

I hope she is better soon Carrie. Hey, do you work for toledo public. I was thinking of moving my school to the TPS of practical nursing. Do you kow anything about it?

See - this is why I don't get close with you all - you are too darn proliphic in your posting and keeping up with the thread... I'm so not.

But I think of you all often :throb:

[virginiagirl74]

Jenny when this forum was created I immediately thought of you! I remember you saying a long while back that we "birth month mama's never got close because we never continued our thread after the babes were born.
I was hoping to 'get to know' you :)

My sisters little girl had this prob..aand come to find out it was her jeans- :o: :shrug:

sounds like my childhood :cloud9:
If we we end up staying here (which I doubt) we intend to take our boogers up to my step sisters this yr to get used to horses. I loved that part of growing up (farm/gardening) and I want that kind of wholesome experience for my children too :throb:
I've been a TMMB member for a while, but haven't posted regularly in a long time since having a 3rd baby in Dec. 2006. I recognize a lot of the names and children. Glad to be back!

Love the birthday themes too :aok:

Hi ladies!

Gerri how did Charley's appointment go?

We've been dealing with crappy weather here but we did get out yesterday for a much needed 'fun day'! :yippee: We don't get to do that very often in the winter.

We went to Olean and spent the day shopping for shoes :faint: $400 on shoes for the kids and workboots for dh. Now I have to find room to store them all until spring where the kids can't get to them.

I found a couple cute outfits for the twins yesterday too out of necessity. :anon: They both had accidents while we were out and needed a change of clothes. :snicker: The outfits were so cute though!

I ordered a new camera! :yippee: It should be here soon and I can start taking pictures again :cloud9:

[Deedah]

Angie I like your Avatar:snicker: cute. Just wanted to say HI to all of you ladies:)

Hi Diane! I always show DH pictures of your girls. :love:

[MomtoA&S]

HI everyone! I love that we have this new forum. It's perfect.

I love this age on Tues and Thursdays because they go to school for a couple of hours. :snicker:

Other days I want to rip my hair out with their tantrums. But for the most part....they're cute! :cloud9:

For some reason that struck me really hard as absolutely funny!

I swear I'm in a much better mood on Mon and Wed nights because I know I"m shipping them off to school for 2 1/2 hours the next day. (Selfish...yes, absolutely!) :lollypop:

[helene1108]

No, Jen, I feel the same exact way (and I try hard not to feel guilty!!!) Cole and Bella go to preschool MWF and I know what you mean about feeling happy in the evenings before they go off to school. I can handle their "off school" days only b/c I know they'll be going back the next day...LOL!!! I still have the baby twins on those days but having 2 less kids to care for actually puts a huge smile on my face (guilt, guilt, guilt....oh well)

I signed them up for MWF starting in September. I'm so excited! :yippee:

I don't know how you do it with the babies too. You're unbelievable! THey're so cute!

[Deedah]

Oh September is going to be great with all the free time while they are in pre school. I'm not going to know what to do with myself but I am sure I will find something.

[Deedah]

Hi Diane! I always show DH pictures of your girls. :love:

Hey Susan! thanks,I love your siggys and I wish I was where you are in your pic snorkeling right now. Is that Xcaret?

[carrie22]

I hope she is better soon Carrie. Hey, do you work for toledo public. I was thinking of moving my school to the TPS of practical nursing. Do you kow anything about it?


Gerri, I do work for tps, but have not heard of the nursing program. Its run through our district? I can ask around, but I always thought I was pretty much in the loop on things! Do you know anymore about it? Where its held, etc???

DD's rash is much better. used some cortizone on it and its almost gone. I am thinking it was either the jeans (which she has worn before) or my moms detergent - but shes been washing their clothes when they spend the night there for a while, so who knows - maybe it was something she ate!

[my3sweeties]

Glad to hear the rash is better.

[mylittlelovebugs]

Jen you are too funny!!! I can't wait until preschool for my twins- they drive me BATTY! Now Eli goes to school this fall and I am really having a VERY hard time with it- I want to keep him all to myself :(

[mrsljb]

Carrie...I'm glad the rash is starting to look better.

Gerri...How did Charley do at the dentist the other day?

[carrie22]

Thanks! I am glad too. . . it makes me sad to see her bum all rashed up!

[mylittlelovebugs]

:order: Gerri answer the question! How did Charleys dentist appt go??

[mrsljb]

:order: Gerri answer the question! How did Charleys dentist appt go??

I posted it on TDT this morning right after she posted it since I didn't get an answer...I am assuming that everything went fine since she hasn't really said anything about it...but, it sure would be nice to HEAR IT FROM GERRI :snicker:

I only get to drop the boys off once a week at the park district...but I use that 2 hours like nobody's business!!! I haven't decided what to do with them next year...if I want to go through the park district or the school district. The park district is kind of on the expensive side, but the program is great! The school district is way cheap and it's the school that they will be going to for Kindergarden and where we go now for playgroup, so I'm on the fence. but I am going to start looking into it here in the next few weeks.

I am so glad to hear that her rash is better! The school is on Superior and it is through the tps adult education. I am comng in March to start admissions. It is about an hour drive each way for me but it is only 48 weeks. The name is toledo school of practical nursing. Let me know what you can find out. I will pm you the number and stuff.

Jen you are too funny!!! I can't wait until preschool for my twins- they drive me BATTY! Now Eli goes to school this fall and I am really having a VERY hard time with it- I want to keep him all to myself :(

T will the twins be able to do preschool? If so you can just move in the school and hang out will all of them! That is my plan anyway. I took 5 weeks vacation when Mack started preschool. :anon: I ended up with parent of the year when it was over because I was there so much doing everything from stapling, to making homeowrk packets, parties, I did the storytime, every field trip, graded papers, By the time she was done with preschool the kindergarden teachers all wanted Mack in their class. :snicker:

:anon: Sorry. :snicker: She did ok because the freaken dentist had us at the hospital preped and waiting and he called and canceled saying he had an emergency. So she had a crying fit and was terrified for nothing. We had to reschedule. And TRACY :order: I told you that when I got back woman! :drama: she never listens to me! :snicker:

I think the school district is a good choice for next year! I know what you mean about using time alone! I can get a lot done in 30 mins let alone 2 hours. I would be in heaven with that!
