Wasting Food
I know every kid does it, but it really sucks when you finish cooking your 21 month old his breakfast (eggs n toast) and not even after 2 bites throws it on the floor. Especially since groceries are so expensive now a days.. I think I might have to buy a chicken LOL...just kidding..
Alot of times also, when he is done, he'll say "All Done" and then throw whatever is left on the floor within seconds of saving it.. We are trying to teach him to stop, and just say he is done and we'll get his tray! It just makes such a mess all over the place. We are constantly scrubbing floors n walls..
Ahhh I guess all we can do is cherish these "messy" moments, because we know they dont last forever♥. I still cant believe that my baby is going to be 2 years old, in 3 months..Its so hard to believe!

Time-Outs
I would say about a month or so ago, we started using the time out corner more seriously. We dont tolerate hitting anymore or any physical "abuse" so to say. If he hits, pulls hair, pinches, bites and things like that, he has a time out for 1-2 minutes.
In all honestly, we've noticed a big difference in his behavior. He doesn't seem to do it as much anymore. As soon as you mention "Time Out" he calms down. So I can truly say that it does works..
We have had to be SUPER consistent with it though, at first, to him it was all a joke.. He wouldn't take us seriously, and he would try to escape and laugh about it..Now he actually sits there and has his little time out. He sure is a cutie, so it was hard to discipline him, but we had no choice but to do something. I'd love to have a little bench made for him.
Has anyone else had luck with the Time Out method..?

Finding out I was going to be a Mommy♥
Its sort of a sad story turned into a miracle..
It was one evening in february 2009, My boyfriend and I were at the hospital and I remember the doctor told us we were pregnant. I was in shock. It was not expected at all.. We was beyond Happy of course. I always wanted to be a mommy and here was my chance. Unfortunatly this pregnancy ended with a miscarriage. You cant (unless its happend to you) imagine how this feels. I was crushed for, but we kept telling ourselves that in 6+ months we would try again. Two months later, I had a feeling and took a test, and to my surprise it was positive. So the next day I made an appointment at the clinic to take a test there. And of course it came out positive :) ♥ ..I absolutly loved being pregnant, but through out the whole prengnancy, I was scared I was misccarry again. I tried to keep positive thoughts though.
The big day finally came, on March 6th 2010 I started getting contractions and we went to the hospital and sure enough I was in labor. This is how I wanted my birth plan to go. I did not want any drugs, I was dead-set on a natural birth.. I was absolutely terrified of being put to sleep and didnt ever want to have to get that done. Absolutely no epidural. When the contractions started getting big after they broke my water, I was crying to pain medication lol. They eventually gave me an epidural at 5 cm I think?. Guess what, it didn't work. He came and took it out, put it in another place, it didn't work. So in a sense I got my "natural birth". Feeling these contractions was by far the Worst pain I have EVER felt. Well after I was at 8cm the baby' heart started going irregular and they had to do an emergency c-section.
So in the Operation Room, once again they tried freezing me, and I just would not freeze. I dont understand this at all. Eventually they had no other option but to put me to sleep in order to do the c-section.. I had no choice to overcome my fear that day, but with the pain I was in, it didn't even bother me in the least bit. If I had to go in there with a clear mind, I would panic. It was all worth it thought because after I woke up and was brought back to my room, I got to meet my sweet little man♥ That there was the best day of my life. Riley Jordan was born on March 7, 2010. (7:59am) 7lbs 15.6oz.. So that just goes to show that you cannot always predict the outcome of your childbirths, but the end result is what matters..All I hoped for was a healthy baby. I really wanted to meet him the moment he was born, and unfortunately I didn't get to, but I eventually did and it was still special to me..
That's my brief story of how my baby boy was born!.. If you want to share your stories, I would love to hear them :) ..I would like to know, has this happen to anyone else, not freezing when getting an epidural/c-section...Anyone else have to get put to sleep to have their c-sections? Id love to hear your comments n stories... Take Care!
