Yesterday and this morning he's been saying Froggy and Naked, words he learned at bath time. It's sounds so much like he is singing "gently caress you" and the n-word. Just over and over in that toddler babble cadence. It's the best

This morning my daughter asked me if I have ever been an octopus and I got a little disappointed at how life is going to let her down

yesterday I was reading with my son and we were in my bed which is a king so it's pretty big. he says "do you want this blanket?" and I said "no but thanks" and then he says "what about this pillow?" and I grabbed the pillow and said "thanks" and then after a moment of silence he says "what I'm actually saying is you could come cuddle up next to me if you wanted to."

Very proud of my 4 year old for identifying a 10 year old boy she wanted to be friends with and just chatting him up. Get that bag girl.

4th grader doing her spelling homework: "I made all the example sentences about how I don't like the police!" We had her IEP meeting yesterday. The teachers praised "her world knowledge."

We had a great sleepover party last night for one of my tween kids. They had tons of fun and stayed up until 5am eating sugary snacks and watching movies. Just good old fashioned kids stuff, my heart is very full today.  We refused to give the wifi password out to kids who brought their own devices, which wasn't super popular but I think the right call. My wife just commented that "did you notice all the kids who asked for wifi passwords were the ones who had anxiety stuff going on?" and she's absolutely right. Food for thought, Cspam parents.

We have started potty training the little one. The idea that there might be a time where I'm not changing diapers daily almost seems unreal.

look at this way, you are exchanging having to change diapers all the time for constantly stressing and worrying about the toilet needs of little kids who go from "i am fine" to "i am five seconds away from making GBS threads my pants" in a heartbeat

"I don't have to." "Go to the potty." "No I don't." *bribes are offered, threats made, voices are raised* "See? You peed. That's pee in the potty. You had to go potty." "No I didn't."

Toddler boy is using words effectively. When I put him on the changing table he looks up at me and says "I pooped  " and I open it up and there's poop there. Proud of my boy.

As mentioned, the baby started eating porridge this month. This meant that his pooping went from 4 times per day to no poop Tuesday through Saturday last week. A bit scary for the parents, but he gave no shits. And it wasn't even a poop explosion!

I wait at the bus stop with my eldest and some other parents each morning but this time it was just me with them. an old dude I've never seen before detoured and jogged close to us in a funny looking track outfit and one of the kids pointed and started yelling "hey, look banana man" and then all of the kids started screaming "banana man banana man" until he disappeared. I'm glad he didn't keel over from embarrassment. buzz off weirdo!

(a concept so foreign to me that initially I just didn't understand your post and had to think about it for a good minute) I don't know honestly but I don't think so. I know my kid has a data plan but it's limited (2gb/month). We were really pleased with how it sorted out and now we're talking about getting a basket at the front door for guests of all ages to deposit their phones into upon arrival. e: A banana yellow tracksuit sounds cool as hell and I kind of want one

loquacius posted:guess what Sucks poo poo. But still, part of me believes your Norwegian, you might reasonably be able to get a few extra months pay. Back when I had my first kid, I was fired from my job in the trial period and probably in reality as a stealth budget cut. My union basically told me I had no case, but that they'd pretend I did. This gave me two or three extra months pay, which was nice. Join a union imo. Anyway, I'm posting because the 5 month old is sleeping on me and posting is all I can do. My arm and coccyx hurt.

Just heard from a daycare place I don't remember applying to that they have an opening for our eight month old for the summer! Skimming through the paperwork... oh just $2,900 a month you say? That's real shocking you have openings.

Dreylad posted:yeah it was pretty wild to realize that we would save money if i just didn't work and looked after the kid full-time instead of working and sending my entire paycheque to the daycare We had the same realization but ended up working it out with my office so that I could work from home. We would bring in a nanny 3 days a week from 9am-3pm to help out Tues-Thurs. It sounds like a lovely job but you'd be surprised how many people are semi-retired or part-time students looking to pick up some hours. It was great, especially because I was basically around my kids their whole upbringings. e: It was 10 years ago, we were paying $15/hr then so ~270 a week.
