I've been with Nik 24/7 for the past couple of days as my husband and father worked on our floor (which is *nearly* done...only the moldings left to put up). It is exhausting to schlep from place to place, for sure!<BR/><BR/>I wouldn't worry about Sami's talking so much. Really. A dear friend's little guy was an incessant chatterer when he was little. He's now an incredibly articulate and brilliant young man of 8...performing academically like a 12 year old. You never can tell!<BR/><BR/>The eloping...scares the crap out of me now that Nik is walking. Thank God for your college student neighbors!Niksmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715465327343655483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-22432008700703465652007-08-20T15:06:00.000-04:002007-08-20T15:06:00.000-04:00Wow, that brought back some old feelings and memor...Wow, that brought back some old feelings and memories. Things do improve, we've come farther than I could have ever hoped or imagined. No one can be hyper vigilant at all times, its impossible believe me I know. God bless the college students next door!<BR/><BR/>BTW I love your blogBonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460284744916937923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-64837185551082497572007-08-19T23:24:00.000-04:002007-08-19T23:24:00.000-04:00I worry about escapes all the time. But everyone ...I worry about escapes all the time. But everyone has slip ups. It's good that he is less of a runner now (I'm hoping that day will come!)<BR/><BR/>My older (NT) son never, ever stops talking, and he is three. I keep hoping he'll come up with an imaginary friend, but so far it's all directed at me.<BR/><BR/>Of course, once they are teenage boys, they'll probably be monosyllabic all day long!<BR/><BR/>Hope you get a break soon. Conversing with toddlers can take a lot out of you.mjsuperfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04430437202459251288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-78090921917228014162007-08-19T15:45:00.000-04:002007-08-19T15:45:00.000-04:00Oh, what a scare!!

Which was OK, because it was only 75 degrees outside, I shudder to think if it happened on a hot day. You are not alone.<BR/><BR/> I am with everyone else, I think it is totally normal for Sami to "talk all the time". As far as the whining at the grocery store, um.. have you been to Walmart:)<BR/><BR/>Sending ((((hugs))) could have happened to any of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-33141628259878980102007-08-19T09:50:00.000-04:002007-08-19T09:50:00.000-04:00Tobin was like that as a 2 year old.. and a 3 year...Tobin was like that as a 2 year old.. and a 3 year old... and now.

My son never stops talking either. And he's nearly 6. So, I hear you on that. But yes, I think it's pretty typical for all of them, some of the time or some of them, all of the time...kristen spinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099514779097752438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17425654.post-80351310087698354152007-08-19T07:16:00.000-04:002007-08-19T07:16:00.000-04:00I am crying with you. This could have easily been...I am crying with you. This could have easily been me/us. My brain has been fried lately and I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed. It scares me when I am like this because ANYTHING can happen. And like Oliver, Andrew has been also much more content to stay near home instead of his past behavior of darting, so I too have been a bit more relaxed when it comes to him. And of course I should not be and I should not forget that he needs to be watched constantly. Don't be so hard on yourself though. We are only human and trying to do the best we can. <BR/><BR/>And as far as Sami's excessive talking, you are describing Brian at his age. Oh wait, you are describing Brian now too. None of us are normal really. But I relate to your worry. I am a worrier too.Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15653239133618747564noreply@blogger.com
