You are very welcome! It’s so difficult trying to juggle everything and keep all the plates spinning. Having kids no doubt changes everything in a relationship, I’m sure we will find our feet eventually xx
Just about to watch. You have no idea how much you are helping me with my mental health Liv. Thank you so much for being real and putting yourself out there. Motherhood is hard and seeing someone i relate with, is so good. Hope you had a good break away just the 2 of you❤
Both my kiddies went through the stuttering thing. I just slowly asked them to stop a minute, think about what they were wanting to say and then try again and make sure I was fully listening and looking at them so they knew they could take their time and didn’t need to rush. Seemed to work although always get the odd day where they are too excited to think their sentences through!!
Aw I’m glad you guys had a great time in Barcelona! We’ve been thinking of heading away but just haven’t decided where, it looks great here & I’m so glad you weren’t mugged omg! 🥲 Look forward to your videos all the time, you’re sooo real & easy to watch/listen to 🩷
Hi Liv, I’m also a boy mom of a 4 year old and the stuttering could be the processing part of trying to put the sentence together so like he knows what he wants to say but his brain is still trying to process and put together the sentence. That’s what my sons speech therapist said and it was so helpful as a mother of a delayed talker to understand my child so thought I’d share that. I think the proper term is called a processing delay which sounds dramatic but really he just needs a few more moments to collect his thoughts and put together the sentences of what he wants to say. Thanks for sharing your wonderful mothering your a great mom!! ❤
Glad you had a nice time away. When I am worried about my relationship my husband reminds me that this is only for a season. This is a hard season for a relationship but the season will pass and it’s not forever. Also potty’s I saw a hack once of lining a potty with a nappy to catch the “goods” if you are out and about. I hope this helps x
Hi lovely, so glad you had a good trip away and showing us the reality of how hard it can be on a relationship when you have kids! Also what curler are you using? Hair always looks lush xxx
Your doing amazing with your son he doesn’t seem to be overly delayed with things to say he is speaking and potty trained before 3 if he is autistic is brilliant!
Oh the stutters we had that then it just vanished.my five year old wears pull-ups at night you can't rush it . .I really need a break 😭 my four year old is driving me mad with the meltdowns and my five year old is on a waiting list for a assessment and I have ADHD and take the same meds been in them ten years now .❤
Don't rush to nighttime potty train its all hormonal anyway so dont stress yourself out with bedtime, just nail daytime and use a pull up at night huggies do some cartoon ones. Also puppy pads contain chemicals not recommended for using under bed linen
Really great vlog Liv, your little holiday looked amazing, so glad you got away and had a lovely time with Mikey, i can so relate about the stresses of life with young children making you feel like you hate your partner sometimes 😅 Its hard! And well done Arlo on the potty training! You may not need a travel potty if he will go on a toilet out and about and can hold until he needs it. Ive found my almost 3 year old is great out and about, but she will hold rather than use a public toilet at the minute. Fingers crossed she masters it soon, im sure they both will 😊 xx
I’d maybe say try a weekly timetable of where Arlo is in the day and where he is at night (for example Monday - Nursery in the day, home at night, Tuesday - day at home, night at nanny’s) or whatever. I’d suggest do this visually (I have access to the symbol program used for individuals with autism - happy to help you make it or just google ‘Monday PECS’ and it’ll come up probably). Then if you lay out each week where he is he can see what day it is today, and where he is that day. Equally he can see in advance when he’ll be elsewhere but know that’s not what’s happening NOW - some kids (autism or not!) struggle with the sense of time so if they’re told “you’ll be at nursery tomorrow” they don’t fully comprehend when ‘tomorrow’ is, so can become anxious that ‘tomorrow’ could be now. Hope that makes sense? Happy to help you whip that up, it may not work at all but I think it’d be worth a try to start using some visuals to support his understanding xx
I’d of been tempted to shout Pickpocket on the metro! Please tell me other were aware of him being nosey at others belongings? Had a recent experience but in Paris on the bus. They pushed against my mom on the bus who was stood with the buggy. Opened up bags hanging off the pram and stole from her pockets
