Who still listens to soggy biscuit? Seriously?![]()
That is usually the start of something bad..it can be a precursor for the "it's not you, it's me" type talk.
or it could be the "...it only happened once..." conversation
Morning all
Only working till 12:00 today, which is nice. Unfortunately my wife is working the whole long weekend, so I'll just be home with the little one. Hopefully he wants to sleep a lot this weekend so I can get some game time, because when he is awake he doesn't want to play alone, you have to play with or sit there with him.
He is saying "pappa" and "aitsa" a lot now, but unfortunately and to my wife's dismay he isn't saying "mamma". "Aitsa" is being said a lot because whenever he does something right or new, he hears it.![]()
That's awesome dude, some quality time is great. Trust me, it might seem tough now but in the long run you gonna be happy. And tell the Mrs not to get too bummed, it happens like that alot.
Enjoy the time together.
Thanks Beo
From January it is going to get a little bit more difficult. My wife hasn't been working night shift for the first year after the little one's birth. Somewhere in January though she is going to start working night shift again (not always night shift, but about half of them will be night).
So I will be alone at home during those nights and that is going to break me, because he is still not sleeping through the night and sometimes when he wakes up in the night, I can't get him calmed down and drinking, only my wife can. So that is going to be interesting. I'll probably be a zombie at work during those days.
How old is he now?
You can also do it bud, just be patient. DO NOT get flustered and frustrated, I know it's tough but they sense those kinda things.

Don't sweat it, my 18 month old is all about "Daddy" and refuses to say "Mommy" or "Mom"...apart from that he says bottle, gog (dog), cat-cat (for cats), gone and will damn well point at and let you know what he wants.
What you can try for the sleeping is a bit of sleep training. We're trying Jo "supernanny" Frost's techniques and it seems to work relatively well.
Can you perhaps link to those techniques?
