A whole month!

Wow Blake is a month old already. Time is flying. He is currently going through a growth spurt so feeding every 2 hours, I'm very tired but I know it won't last long.

That and I'm hoping he hasn't swapped his night and day. He sleeps really well at night but he seems to have more trouble with his tummy at night. He goes down to sleep very easy during the day but at night his burps and poos bother him a lot more.

Poor Tyler is teething :( big molars cutting so he is a real grumpy bum at the moment. Constantly whinging!

I finally mentioned to B how I feel we aren't a team on this parenting thing. I am so tired of us fighting over nothing. He thinks I'm always having a go but I just wish he wouldn't do it then I wouldn't have to say something. What I mean by this is I want the boys to have the vest start to life as possible. Be healthy and active etc. I limit sugar and salt don't have the tv on during the day etc. B on the other hand gives him lollipops, and chips and sips of softdrink and sometimes alcohol. He says it's only a little bit. This really really annoys me. I don't give a rats if it's only a little bit they shouldn't be having any at all. Also he sits and scrolls the Internet on his phone during dinner. I find this extremely rude and I want us to set a good example to the kids. I think it's extremely wrong to tell a child off for doing something they have simply learnt off watching u do it.

B thinks I am unreasonable. I think he is just being lazy. Its vert hard to not give in and give ur child what they want but if it's not good for them u have to be the parent and say no and u must also set by example. I can imagine this is going to be an on going argument but I am trying to appeal to the adult in B. So far im not having much luck. He grew up in a house hold of 8 kids and I suspect in terms of this they got what they wanted and did what they felt like. Mum and dad would have been too busy to be strict on that kind of thing. But these are my kids too and I am trying to do what is right for them.

Little Blake has his initial appointment for his circumcision today and the big snip on Monday. I know some people don't agree but this our families decision. I am a little nervous after tyler's experience. I mean everything went perfectly fine until did a massive poosplosion on the way home and got poo all through the ring etc. We had to syringe it out which was painful. He was too young for panadol so all round a shit day! This time i waited until Blake was a month old so he can have panadol if needed and i am going to put a flushable nappy liner around it so if he repeats his brothers performance which he may very well as he poos a zillion times a day it at least won't go into the ring.

Be glad when it's over!

I think one of the biggest challenges of having 2 so young is being able to control Tyler while out. It's fine until Blake needs feeding. It's fine at home Tyler entertains himself but when I am on my own with the 2 of them what on earth do I do with Tyler. He hates playing with toys like at a drs surgery he is off running around seeing what mischief he can get into. If I have my pram I could put him in that but he hates being stuck where he can't run around. He had his dads attention span and energy levels so is always on the go and moving. Before Blake came alone I hadn't taken the pram out of the car for months. Once Tyler started walking that was it he would no longer sit in the pram.
Anyway I'm sure we will work it out when we need to. Not much else I can do about it.
