I am falling off my chair this minute!! You are what? Due? Due what? Due money to your food retailer? Due to return your books to the local library? Mama Bear, what are you saying here?!?!?! When did this happen? Well, that was a dumb question; please don't answer in elaborate details.... embarrassed

when it happened? At the end of october Smile

. yes, downs, when we were 'talking' at cafe au lee, I was like in my fourth month or something. I was not planning to make an announcement on imamother at all, I dont know what stupidity got into me tonight, I coudlve PMed Raisin instead! but hey the cat is out of the bag, BH.

Girlchick, teenagers dont really do the babysitter/mothers helper thing around here, and I cant leave him with anyone in the middle of training. but anyway, I got several things crossed off my list today and will cross some more things off this week IYH and I already feel beter.

awwww thanks all of you squash, xyz, ilovestrollers and the rest.

Downs, truthfully it's the Toilet Training that worries me the most. Once that's out of the way, the rest of the list can be taken care of in a week! But who knows how long it'll take....

MB bshah tova. Don't worry you will get it all done.

Hatzlacha with the toilet training.

If you think you are busy now, just wait till you have 2 little ones.

Just as a side note. When I had my second son his brother was just turning 15 months. All my friends told me that I had to put him into playgroup or I wouldn't survive. I never put him into playgroup but I survived.

Are you rushing your son to cheder because of the IYH new baby coming?

I read a mysterious post on here, quite randomly, some time ago. in my heart, I thought MB, that you had this beautiful news. however, since it TOTALLY was not my business I just moved right along. but now I can say--b'shaah tovah, and many more simchas. Smile

No. He is turning 3 in august and at age 3 it's time to start cheder. I want to start him before the baby BE"H, so he'll be adjusted by then.

He NEEDS structure. he NEEDS socialization. He has stopped napping six months ago and his days are long and endless. He destroys the house out of boredom. He will thrive in cheder. He was in playgroup just for the month of Nissan so I could clean for Pesach - he was not letting me do a thing - and the playgroup ladies told me he is way too old for playgroup. all the kids are aabout age 2, and he is bullying them. He needs to be with older kids, with a more mature curriculum than a playgroup curriculum.

If I woudlnt be due in July, he'd probably start cheder in the country, in daycamp, or right after the country, before his upsherin. So yes, I might be placing him in cheder 1-2 months earlier than I would have, but he really needs it - he is very, very bored and needs structure and company. he is 2 yrs & 9 months old already.
