My son is pushing 3 now and out of the blue he refuses to clean up at night. He used to be really good about it, in fact he wouldn't let us clean up any toys. Now he does this I hear you but I'm going to stare away and ignore you on purpose thing. After a few warnings, he gets a time out, if he still doesn't clean up after that I let him know that if I clean up the toys they are going away and if I clean them up they get hidden somewhere. Of course these toys are his most prized possession so he freaks the fuck out. I used to make the mistake of just giving them back the next day but it seemed to negate me taking them away so now he doesn't get them back unless he goes through a night routine behaving like a good boy. So far this tactic is working.

My son used to have this incredible sense of when he was being put into bed. I could have him asleep in my arms for 30 minutes and as soon as I bent over to put him down he'd wake up. I tried every angle I could, the kid was practically floating straight down perfectly and BAM crying before he got to the mattress. We started to use a tactic from a friend. When holding him to put him to sleep we would use one of his soft blankets (a small/folded one so he wouldn't get tangled in it) under him so he wasn't in contact with our skin, so to him it was like he was already in bed. Once he was asleep we would lower him in the bed with the blanket still under him. Oddly enough it actually worked.

When I was like 7 and my brother was 5 we wouldn't clean our room. Well she grabbed a trash bag and proceeded to throw all our toys into the bag. Then she grabbed my brothers favorite stuffed dog (he still has it to this day) and holy shit it was like the end of the world. The rest of that room was cleaned in 10 seconds flat after that happened to him. lol
I will be trying this. It's the same thing for me. Soon as I go to lower him he jolts awake. If that doesn't doing it soon as he touches the bed he jolts awake. I figured when he hits the bed and jolts awake it's the differing temp of my body and the much cooler bed.

Yea, it's amazing how the simplest things mean the world to kids. Around 2.5 we decided to try and get rid of the pacifier, which my son only got at night at that age. He is big on Santa thanks to his obsession with trains... he loves the Polar Express movie. We build it up over a few days and told him Santa would bring him a present if he left his pacifier out. The idea of a present from Santa (in June lol) got him excited enough to where he agreed that he wanted to do it. The night he left it out though was the cutest thing. My wife helped him write a note to Santa and he stood there for the longest time holding it, spinning it around, looking at it from all angles, and saying it was a good binky. Eventually he left it on the table and walked off to bed. He only asked about it once after that and got a shiny truck the next morning which is now his most prized possession.

He just needs to get used to your wife not being there. He probably woke up and was thrown off because only you were there and she's used to both of you. It'll get better.

Yeah I'm sure it's something like that. I've been putting him to bed for a week now and almost always he just goes down and sleeps through the night.. just last night he decided 'no'

Yeah this kid needs to ask Santa for something else because he's already got his two front teeth. Looks like our problem might be as simple as we aren't feeding him enough now. He's been holding steady at 4oz for a while now and all of a sudden he's inhaling 8oz like it's nothing and no throw up. Ordered some 8oz bottles just now. We've only got 5oz ones.

Im sure you said this tred but how old is he. Our 5MO started waking up more at night and along with all the other signs was really indicating he was ready for solid ish food. We added rice cerial made with boobies milk to his dinner and that helped alot. Was pretty much the same when my 2yo was that age.

Yup he is 5 months old as of Tuesday. We had planned on waiting until he hit 6 months and then start him on avocado and other more savory foods instead of sweet or starchy stuff.

I spent a weekend cooking down things like pumpkin, peas, apples, and so on when our kids got to the age where they started non titty based food. Cheap as crap, and good for them. Takes freezer space and patience.

Yup that's the plan. Fuck buying jars of smashed carrots+extra shit they don't need for $1+ a pop or whatever when you can cheaply make your own.
We do that for my kids. We mash shit up, put them in ice cube trays and freeze them. Defrost them when it's meal time.

Best thing we ever did when we had a kid was invest in a deep freeze.
that thing was packed full of frozen breast milk, pureed veggies, frozen veggies, etc for a damn long time. Now at 2, it's still damn full of stuff like chicken nuggets, fish sticks, endless bags of frozen veggies, frozen fruit for smoothies, etc. No way we could get by with just the little freezer thats part of our refrigerator. Not to mention we cook a LOT more at home now that we have a kid, so we stock up on lots of meat when it's on sale and crap like that too.
