8 month old is really into food and also eating. However, he will absolutely not stop loudly complaining the entire time. He's getting what he wants, he likes stuffing it into his face (unless it's tomatoes), but there's a constant loud complaining noise. At dinner today, it transitioned into tears, probably from eating too much judging by the very full tummy. In other news, he also likes my guitar, as a climbing obstacle, a thing to stand with, as a drum and occasionally something to listen to, although that quickly turns into him holding the strings. He is also into eating the strings, so there's hope for him. It's a super good bonding activity. My paternity leave goal is to learn the chords and lyrics to the Internationale and have him recognize it as good

I like Blues Clues, but my brain cannot stop calling the current guy "Filipino Steve" and that's a lil too disrespectful. His name is Joshua and he was a Broadway trained musician. The same Aladdin production that the Mrs Rachel crew is from. Gonna get a Fisher Price "my first red string board" to map out the connections

ice cream trucks are illegal where I used to live. kid got run over 30 years ago and the city was like Never. Again. where we live now, the ice cream trucks all swarm the afternoon bus drop off points in front of the larger apartment complexes honestly not sure which is better

We had multiple italian ice and ice cream trucks in my neighborhood when I was a kid. It ruled. They did good business too. There is one that we hear come through our neighborhood every now and again during the summer, but he never seems to stop and he doesn't come down our street. Maybe once girl is mobile, we'll track him down but... no chocotacos.

Lol was wondering where this thread went. Any good vegan ice creams? Kids got to have ice cream but would prefer an option involving less sad cows.

Our ice cream trucks use a loud bell instead of a tune (and also they sell bulk packaging for the freezer at a ridiculous price). My oldest somehow forgot that it sells ice cream and will complain about the noise instead. I'm not saying anything.

Those Ben and Jerry dairy-free options look good, going to try them thanks. We have an ice-cream maker but of course our older kid rejected every single home-made offering. The older kid also figured out that their summer program is essentially summer school and yes they are mad.

But some of them are egg free. a number of them are vegan, and they’re good, too. my kid has both egg and dairy allergies, so I’ve become pretty familiar with vegan stuff by necessity.
