Abdominal pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Meg! I just wanted to tell you that it is so strange that you are going through the big kid bed decision. Our foster baby that we are adopting is going to be two Aug 21st and and I can't decide what to do with this. Everyone is telling me that he MUST be in a toddler bed at two because he could climb out of the crib but he doesn't even try to do that and he also shares a room with our 2 1/2 year old and 9 year old so we are worried that he may wake up and start to play in there with small items. We try to keep toys away from each other, the babies toys are all in the living room and Freddie has his stuff in their room as they only sleep in there, they don't play. Anyway, our caseworker says to move him over because it only takes one time for him to try and he might make it but I still think we will wait. Josh was just diagnosed severly delayed and he just doesn't attempt stuff like that. Anyway, didn't mean to get long on this message but I also wanted to tell you that yes, our older children to understand very much about good days and bad days. Sometimes I wish they weren't so in tune to me because my 14 year old daughter will walk up to me in the morning and look real close at my hands and face and will tell the other kids good day or rough day. Good days we play board games or go swimming or take a walk, bad days we watch videos eat popcorn and snuggle. I just try to make it be an adventure no matter how I feel. Once in a while I can't get out of the bed and those days I am fortunate that my parents live with us. They cook dinner and watch the babies and any time one of them needs me they just climb up in bed. I hope they don't hate me some day for being sick alot, sometimes I think it slows me down enough that we get alot more quality family time than if we were running all around town. Anyway, that's just what works here. Your baby will be like ours probably. They just don't know better and are still very well adjusted smart little guys.

I wanted to write to you the other day but just couldnt. First, I love the pictures of your daughter, I think my is probably about the same age. She'll be two next week!! Amazing how time flies. Although i have to admit, I am putitng off moving her into the "big girl bed" She really seems to like her crib, and she doesnt try to get out, so I figure why fix something thats not broken right?
