yehh baby.. my lucky day graww
I have a 28 month old and a 12 month old. I was just wandering if anyone could give me advice about what games and activities I can do while they are both awake. I often take them for walks, play in the pool, watch a dvd or read. How can I get my kids to still play by themselves but when they are both awake? Either my toddler is playing fantastically with his toys and my baby crawls over to him and starts to frustrate him and take his toys or ruin his game and I HAVE to take her away or vice versa. And if I take my baby away from my toddler and my toddler sees me playing with my baby of course he wants to join. He gets very jeolous if I am playing along with baby or giving her attention. (even though he gets LOTS AND LOTS of one on one attention with no distractions from myself and my husband.. I think its just his age and the fact that he is no longer an only child.. he has to share us!!). Please can I have any suggestions to do with the following:
1. ideas of games, toys or activites to do with both at once
2. play area ideas so that they can both be occupied alone if I need to cook or something and cannot have them together (in cse of smacking etC)
thanks!
The things that my children have the most fun playing with together are not toys but random things we find around the house. For example, we had a giant cardboard box from Christmas presents; they made it into a little house and entertained themselves for hours. A few months ago, we had a huge amount of bubble wrap; again, hours of entertainment. Another fun game they LOVE is going for rides in laundry baskets, or taking their dolls and stuffed animals for laundry basket rides. Maybe when you cook you could give them each a small plastic bowl or pan and a spoon to "cook" or bang on the bowl. It’s tough having them this close together as babies, but as they get older it will get better, I promise!
Just click on the song you want to play!

I LOVE THAT MOVIEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
Hello!
i would like to know if the DVD of the movie "wide Awake" by M.Night Shyamalan, has any legend in portuguese.
Because i’m from Brazil and i’m interested in buying the move through Amazon.com
Thank you!
no it does not, i wrote a paper on how it does have a legent in portuguese and got an F cuz my interpretation was wrong
My son is 16 almost 17 months and after 4 nights without sleep we decided to assemble his Toddler bed and try it out.
It took almost 2 hrs. to get him to sleep last night. we tried everything: closing the door (and letting him cry), turning on a DVD, allowing him to walk out of the room and we "calmly" return him…finally I decided to lay in the floor. He finally fell asleep after about 20 minutes.
He then awake again at 3:00 a.m. (which is what he was doing while in the crib) and wouldn’t go back to sleep (at this point I was sleeping in my room) again I tried all the above methods, and finally at 5:00 a.m. I caved and put him in bed with us.
I haven’t gotten more than 4 hrs. of sleep in 5 days!!!
BTW he eats before bed, and has suficient naps, and fresh diaper before bed every night
There has GOT to be an easier way to do this!!!!
ANY SUGGESTIONS!!!!????
(I’m at my wit’s end here)
a few extra details: he has fallen from hgis crib once, and has been crying excessively at night (in the crib) I talked with a few other mom’s and they all said he’s ready for a toddler bed. so, we bought and put one up.
The only problem with "crying it out" is that we have touchy neighbor’s and they have called th cops on us for much less.
I’m adding more inresponse to a few of you who said that he shoudl go back to the crib. That is not an option. He has fallen twice and climbed out more (we happened to see and caught him) so NO we won;t be doing that.
I welocme any advice, but please don’t suggest that anymore.
**my landlord came by last night and said some neighbors have complained already, I’m SOOO drained, and still nothing is working..for the past 3 nights I have just been laying in his floor (not looking at him or talking to him) unitl he falls asleep, then putting up a gate and when he awakes at night doing the same** NOT WORKING!!!
Personally, I’d put him back in the crib until he falls asleep on his own. Then, I’d go back to trying the toddler bed. FIRST, I’d put him in bed with me and "catch up" on my sleep so that I have some patience and sanity. Are you using the same routine every night? We go like this: snack, play with the lights down for about 15 minutes (and I warn him his bath is coming in X # of minutes), bath, books (with the lights low). He usually goes to sleep reading. I read one and he "reads" one, then me, then him. Some nights, he wants to "bath" because he wants to go read books, so he hurries up and washes to get to lay down with me and the books. I learned quick that a solid routine works best for my son and we follow it even when we are on vaca. I have also found that he "acts crazy" on his dad (who lets him stay up late), whereas I start his routine between 6 and 7. He gets to sleep early and is easier to deal with (generally, not always).
I know this is a very trying time right now. Make sure you are taking care of YOU.
Good luck and best wishes.
Edit: I take it back. I’d keep letting him sleep in the crib until he learns to crawl out.
If he has fallen out, that changes everything. He should go in a big boy bed. Keep a routine and eventually, he will follow it. My dad said he and my mom had to lie down with me at first, then eventually, I started going to sleep on my own. My step-mom said the same thing about her 3 kids. I don’t believe in the cry-it-out method. I think it is cruel to let a baby cry on and on.
