@Bobble321 wooooo! Congratulations thatās great news! I also think boy š
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 theyāre never awake when you want them to be and never sleep when you want them too š have fun at the safari park!Ā
Does anyone have any advice Harrys amazing on the potty now, never has any accidents but the second you put pants on him or clothes on his bottom half he wets himself! Weāve gone through 4 pairs of pants this morning but as soon as I stopped putting pants back on he goes straight on the potty again?! Iāve told him that Iāll pull his pants down for him to go but heās just not telling me when before itās too late and then heāll say oh no so he knows heās had an accident! What do I doooooo?Ā
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 theyāre all bloody obsessed with them!š¤£š¤£šš safari park sounds fab! Which one are you going?Ā
@Mummytolilyandharry I think itās just practice. Maybe he doesnāt get the exact same sensation when he has clothes on? Just lots of prayer?! In fairness, heās doing brilliantly and heās only little.Ā
Does any one have any toy recommendations for Matildaās first birthday? Any that have been their Ā favourites? Iāve got her a teepee tent and a pram walker with dolls and a talking peppa.xxx
@Mummytolilyandharry not a solution but is it normal underwear he's got on? You could get some of the potty training ones that absorb the pee enough that the trousers aren't needing changed, but they still feel wet. Someone told me Bright Bots ones are good but I've never gotten round to buying any yet!
@EmJ3 Evies pram was defo one of her faves for her 1st birthday. My parents got her a cosy coupe princess carriage which she likes but it's a bit of a faff as our garden isn't big enough. I also got her a tiny little moses basket and her baby Tilly sleeps beside her bed every night. For her 2nd Birthday I've got her a personalised Leya Doll and a fancy dress rail. We've also started repping for a company that does custom tutus if that's something you'd be interested in you can have our discount code. I'll post Evies below (not pushing at all, I just can't stop buying and like a wee discount š).
Safari Park went well, Evie LOVED the dinosaur animatronic part best (never mind real animals) and is off to bed with her new toy lion šļæ¼ļæ¼. Took her to Burger King on the way home, massive mind blank and ordered her a Cola. She spent 2 hours climbing walls and throwing herself off it onto me. NEVER GETTING COLA AGAIN!Ā
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 the leyadolls are so cute- I hadnāt heard of them before! TheĀ tutus are gorgeous!!! Does Evie do ballet or are they for dressing up? My parents are buying the princess Cozy coupe but Iāve said it can stay there!!šš they have a bigger garden and we go there a lot! Thanks for your help- itās a minefield!
glad you had a good day at the safari park! Evie and Jamie look so cute together! Iāll remember that about cola.xxx
@EmJ3 they kept popping up on my Facebook and I eventually have in and ordered her one, they're so nice especially for little ones. She does so ballet although I'm ordering her a slightly smaller one for classes, that one is for her dressing up rail (I've also ordered a Christmas one because I have a problem š). I really struggle to come up with stuff for them aside from like one big present. I've actually got Jamie's bday already, he's getting a Lanka Kade wooden alphabet whale puzzle. I feel a bit mean but it's quite big and really they don't have much space for big toys.
Im basically done Christmas too as I'll be back to work and wanted to do it while we have money. I got them a balance bike each (50 for both so I dont know if they count as 'main'), a teepee to share and I've been eyeing up a wee wooden guitar as they like playing with their daddys one. But that will be it! Maybe
Thanks for the advice everyone yesterday he wasnāt happy about wearing pants so I said to him you go and pick some and he came back with Lukeās boxers so we tried them on š and realised they were way to big so we had a look online and Harrys picked some boxers out that heād like to have instead š„ŗ so weāll try those, maybe the pants feel too much like his nappies(heās been in nappy pants for about a year)Ā
@EmJ3 for lilys first birthday the best thing we got for her was a pink build a bear teddy and had a sound of me and Luke saying āhappy 1st birthday lily lots of love mummy and daddyā it hasnāt worked in a couple of years but she still remembers what it said, itās actually very sentimental to her which I think is so sweet, other than that we got her a swing a slide a little tikes car then just a little doll, a ball pit, a baby make up vanity set (which she also loved) ohh another good thing she got was a happy land dolls house, one of the little tikes rocking horses, my memory isnāt this good btw Iām looking through pictures šĀ
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 Oh my god your so organised! Itās lilys birthday in a few weeks and Iāve barely bought her anything yet š let alone ChristmasĀ
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 thatās very organized of you. I go a bit crazy at Christmas but the older ones write a list so itās very different! I didnāt go silly with Matilda last year and wonāt again this year because sheās oblivious. Iāll have to wrap up clothes though to ensure her āpileā is similar to my other 2s! We donāt have space for lots of toys either though!Ā the tutus are very cute- I donāt blame you. I think when Matilda can walk properly, theyāll look adorable!Ā
Awww @Mummytolilyandharry look at her there- sheās just gorgeous! Thanks for the ideas too- at this rate Iāll have sorted Christmas too!š„°š„°š„°
My eldest daughter loved build a bear so thatās a good shout and love the cottage too!xxxxĀ
@EmJ3 I know she was so small š only feels like yesterday! Canāt believe sheās going to be 6! Itās gone soooo quickly! I havenāt got a clue what to really get her for her birthday, so far Iāve bought her some miraculous ladybug pjs, a barbie top, a new case for her iPod, hair lights set, a new tangle teezer unicorn hairbrush, sheās asked for a jojo siwa bow maker set and an our generation doll so Iāll get her both of those too and then I was thinking one of those instax mini cameras, just doesnāt seem like any toys but she has sooooo many toys I wouldnāt know where to put them all, I normally get her barbie stuff but she already has one of those large barbie dream houses, an ambulance, an aeroplane, a campervan, a car, a jeep, a barbie styling head, a big barbie unicorn š³ she has a dolls pram & cot, a baby annabelle and a baby born boy, a cry baby, so if anyone has any suggestions please let me know šĀ
@Mummytolilyandharry I think maybe lily has everything!!š¤£š¤£š¤£ I love all of those dolls toys and Barbie myself! Haha!! Does she still like build a bear?Ā
High chair or Moses basket seems like a good idea if she doesnāt have them already.Ā
I canāt believe sheās nearly 6!!!
what about the little Live pets? Or sequin art? Although it already sounds like sheās getting some fab things!xxx
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 she used to have a highchair It broke so we binned it a few months ago, she hadnāt played with it in a while tbh! She doesnāt play much her big dolls anymore itās more Barbies tbh!Ā
@EmJ3 She did have one of the little live pets that ended up at the car boot š I like the sound of the sequin art though! Sheād love that! Thereās not much she hasnāt had in the past thatās the problem I have š sheās had a kitchen, sheās had a big wooden dolls house š @Bobble321 about the difference in birthday present piles between lily and Harry for her second birthdayĀ This was harrys
@Mummytolilyandharry It's so hard keeping them equal isn't it, I feel Jamie's pile is going to be way smaller but it won't be down to me spending less, its just that he's getting smaller more expensive toys š¤·āāļø. Christmas a lot of stuff I'm just not putting a name on and they can share. Might as well while they're small enough for it to work!
So a random question for you all. From 11 months Evies only ever wanted 1 6oz bottle at bedtime and I've been letting her have it, but this week she's been requesting them through the day. She seems to have had a bit of an iffy belly so I don't know if that's maybe why? I don't want to say no when she's barely eating as it is. Have any of the other kids been similar?Ā
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 Iād let her have them if sheās not eating well. Her tummy must be off or she just doesnāt feel 100%?
@Mummytolilyandharry itās so hard trying to keep them equal-ish. I try but it doesnāt really work. My children seem more bothered with the number of pressies they have each rather than whatās in them- sometimes wrap up sweets and chocolate to even it out!ššššxxx
@EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 youāve just described lily at her age! She was having about 5 bottles of milk a day!!! She would never eat a lot of food so I would give it to her thinking whatās the harm! It took a lot to get her to stop having it during the day again, I personally would never let Harry do that now just because of how hard it was to get lily to actually eat properly, Harry will ask now and again and Iām like no! Saying that if she is poorly I would let her have it, but if sheās just asking for it then I wouldnāt or maybe allow her one extra bottle a day, the milk itself wonāt do her any harm itās trying to get them to not have it, itās like a dummy, they find comfort in it š„ŗ or if she asks for milk give it in a sippy cup rather than a baby bottle so itās like a drink rather than a āmealāĀ
@emj3 and @EvelynAndJamiesMummy6390 so hard to even them out! Luckily Harry wonāt notice just yet š but I would definitely do that same and wrap up sweets and chocolate to look the same but can guarantee the other one will say whereās my sweets š
@EmJ3 I don't know now if its tummy or teeth but something isn't right with her
@Mummytolilyandharry wow 5 bottles, I'm hoping we don't get to that! She's only really been asking for one bottle and I've been giving in assuming she's not feeling right but shes never had more than 5oz. I suppose it could be partly an attention seeking thing too. I'm hoping it's just going to be a couple of days and back to normal!Ā

Safari Park today! Due to leave at noon and they're both in their beds napping. Guess I'm going to have to go and loudly hunt out their shoes š
