Just to throw a spanner in the mix girls

Lucas is much younger than your wee sproglets and his vocab is NOWHERE NEAR 200 + words ....5 or 6 if I'm lucky, and he certainly has high expectations already! He may not talk, but he goes all out in order to get what he wants/make it clear to us. And he can be the most temperamental kid around, throws himself back and screams the place down till he's dry retching ...so I don't personally think vocab has a lot to do with it!

Each kid is individual & unique.

But in answer to your initial question Fiona re: is this how your toddlers day goes?

Depends, depends on the sleep he has the night before, the amount of food he has eaten the day before, whether he is teething ...but in general he is a happy wee chap and only cries if he is trying to grab something that is out of his reach, ...is finished with his food and wants down from the high chair or I'm trying to brush his teeth. Other than that no tears.

Maybe Elle does have high expectations. Either way it sounds like you are doing a great job with her. Hopefully it's just a phase.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:30:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401516&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401516 <![CDATA[Is this how your toddlers day goes? : You know what Deb, DH and I discussed...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401476&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401476 Author: FionaS

You know what Deb, DH and I discussed this today and we think that kids with better vocab have higher expectations of getting what they want (as who will refuse an 11mth old what they ask for...and so the expectation begins). Those will less words are not so used to getting what they want and hence expect less.

Clear as mud?]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:08:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401476&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401476 <![CDATA[Is this how your toddlers day goes? : thats funny cause toby had a much...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401465&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401465 Author: Bizzy

thats funny cause toby had a much better vocab than his brother and lots of other kids his age yet he packs the worst paddy with lots of screaming. His borther with the lesser vocab was nowhere near as temperamental. i wonder if the two are linked? everything being just so or the end of the world ensues sounds very typical tho - well here at least!]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 21:03:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401465&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401465 <![CDATA[Is this how your toddlers day goes? : Her language is great.

Her language is great. She can ask for anything she wants, talks fluently in four or five word sentences. I'm constantly amazed at her language skills. Naturally though, being a toddler is hard work so when she really wants something, words are replaced by cries    I would say with complete honesty that she uses over 200 words now.

She is showing major perfectionist tendancies (yes, takes after mummy). Everything has to be 'just-so' or the world tends to end.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:34:06 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401399&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401399 <![CDATA[Is this how your toddlers day goes? : big hugs hun.

big hugs hun. Doesnt sound like a typical day here either but I sincerly hope you figure out what is causing her to be so unsettled. How is she talking? Is she communicating well yet? (meaning as well as toddlers do)

I guess that could be the answer. She has had big milk drinks in the past with no probs but I seem to remember hearing that lactose accumulates in the system.

Yeah maybe worth a try. She has had hard painful BMs too which she hasn't had in months and months. We're due to see our chiro again this week so he might pick up what it is too. ]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:48:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401369&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401369 <![CDATA[Is this how your toddlers day goes? : If the timing seems to coincide...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401366&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401366 Author: pepsi

If the timing seems to coincide with a change in her diet then it makes sense to see how things go if you eliminate the stuff you have only started doing in the last couple of weeks? It wouldn't hurt to try anyway. ]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:44:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401366&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401366 <![CDATA[Is this how your toddlers day goes? : The only thing I can think of...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401361&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401361 Author: FionaS

Doesnt sound like our typical day either...but i do know that if Rhiannon gets like that its because she is either teething or coming down with something....but it doesnt sound right to me...

Its a shame our toddlers cant communicate with us what excatly is wrong....hope it gets better soon

She cries for everything...muzzie, up, down, food, water, toy, park. Everytime she asks for something it is with tears. She used to ask normally but for some reason this last week it is just tears with everything. I thought perhaps this was what the pre-2 year old stage of frustration entailed.]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:28:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401354&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401354 <![CDATA[Is this how your toddlers day goes? : Sorry to say, but it doesn&#039;t...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401350&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401350 Author: pepsi

Sorry to say, but it doesn't sound much like our typical day. I mean, Alyssa can be a handful at times, but I'd have to say there isn't much crying these days at all.

If that's your every day you must be knackered! ]]> Mon, 02 Jun 2008 19:24:31 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401350&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401350 <![CDATA[Is this how your toddlers day goes? : Wake up happy Dad goes in, starts...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=17836&PID=401345&title=is-this-how-your-toddlers-day-goes#401345 Author: FionaS

Wake up happy
Dad goes in, starts to cry, wants mum
Goes to mum, cries for breakfast, rejects breakfast
Not happy up, not happy down. Just cries and cries.
Happy in front of TV
Fights getting dressed, fights carseat
Cries all the way to destination in car
Fights and cries in pushchair from minute 1 to minute 20 that she is in it.
Asks for playground but then cries as there are too many big kids. Won't play, won't cuddle. Only happy if running away and being followed.
Sleeps for 3 hours after a big fuss
Gets up miserable. Wants mum but just continues to cry and hit mum.
Happy in front of DVD
At family dinner, cries from the moment it appears and for one hour after
Doesn't want to be up or down
Cries and cries some more
