Well, Princess Sleeps-a-lot got weighed today and she is up to 9 lbs 13 oz. I am so glad that she is still getting bigger a little at a time. She has been snuffly and kind of yucky the last two days and hasn't been eating as well, so I was concerned, but there was no need.
We have been talking to Princess Belle's school to see what we could do to make the remainder of the year easier for her so that we could just get through the rest of the year before returning to homeschooling in September. They said that there is nothing that will be done for weeks yet!! As per their recommendation, she has been staying at home until changes could be made for her. But there is no way that she can stay at home that long with no work being done. So we got all her books and papers from the school and will be homeschooling her until they can make the appropriate adjustments for her.
I made a vegetarian pea soup today that came out ultra-salty. I am trying to figure out what I can do to make it less salty.
I also have a question for all you moms with kids who share a room. How did you make the change. How do your kids sleep? Was it a hard adjustment? Did the younger one share a room with you at first? When did you move them out to share with their sibling? Did it make a difference if the older child was really young (like under 2)? If anyone out there has any answers or advice for me, I would love to hear them.
We didn't have too many issues with the kids sharing rooms... We had none with the boys, but when we had Alicia (at around age 2) in with the boys, that didn't work. She would get too excited to be with them. She got all worked up in hyper mode and that got the boys all hyper too. *lol* ... So we put her in with Amanda. We had planned on waiting until Amanda was sleeping through the night, but we did it early. We just made sure to put Alicia down first, so that she was asleep before we put Amanda down. It worked out well.

We were fortunate enough that the older two had a room when we moved so that they did not have to share. Emily's room JUST got completed a couple of weeks ago (she's 17 months now). We closed in the garage for her. She slept in a playpen in our room, but most of her toys were in Shelby's room. It worked out okay, but she would get into her big sister's things and make a mess in her room, so it's nice that we don't have that problem anymore.
ReplyDeleteMy grandma always used to peel a potato and put it in her soup if it had a scorched taste to it. I'm not sure if it'd work with salt or not. Something about the starch absorbing it or something...might be worth a try. Just peel a whole potato and toss it in. See if it works.
My sons share a room. When we moved son #2 out of a crib at 3 we moved him to a bunk bed with his brother in his brother's room (5 at the time). It was my older son's request to have his younger brother sleep with him in his room and it worked out well because we now have a little girl who uses son #2's old room! There was no transition at all and now they insist they can't sleep without the other one there.
ReplyDeleteMy neices are one year apart and my sister had them sharing a room as soon as the youngest would sleep through the night (about 5 months).
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with the above comment, I add a peeled potato to my soups when they're too salty :)
My 2 girls share a room, ages 9 and 4 and they fight and talk for about an hour after bedtime and then fall asleep. Its been hard to adjust but almost 2 yrs later they finally are.
