Living Arrows 41/52 (2016)

Honestly I feel like all I do in these posts is whinge about how tough things are but the last week really has been a hard one. I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that Gabe was getting his first molars – well in the last few weeks all four of his molars and one of his canines have cut and I think another canine might be on the way. The teething (and possibly still a reaction to his immunisations) has meant he has had very horrible nappies for a whole week, and all of that has led to some very sleepless nights. Hopefully now all the teeth have cut, and his poos are solid again we are over the worst of it. And perhaps he might even get a bit of a break for a while.

There has been a lot of crying over the last week but it’s not all been tears – Gabe is a trooper and has managed a few smiles in there too with his cheeky chops – and you’ll just have to excuse the biscuit crumbs!

Toby has been really good this week – we’ve not been able to do very much because of Gabe’s exploding bottom so he’s had to spend a lot of time in the house. I wrote last week about his potty training struggles but we are making some progress. He is still insisting on wearing nappies but, at home at least, most of his wees are ending up in the potty. Every one of those stickers you can see in this week’s photograph represent a wee that made it in there. And yesterday he even did a poo in the potty too! I really think I need to just let him do it in his own time and he’ll get there soon enough.

Apologies for the excessive poo mentions in this post – hopefully normal service will be resumed next week!

  1. Oh bless them – and you, I know how exhausting it is when it’s one thing after another. We have a lot of poo talk here too ha ha! I hope Gabe’s teeth settle down for a bit and you have a more relaxing few weeks now đŸ™‚ x x #livingarrows

  2. I feel you with the potty training. We were going quite well until Arthur decided very suddenly he didn’t want to do it any more and so now we’re playing the waiting game. They’ll do it when they’re ready I guess. And boo to teething, that sucks balls. Hope it passes soon.
