I know my daughter is telling me her heart's truth when she whispers it in my ear instead of saying it out loud

Well our 3 year old has been getting in our bed most nights, and we're usually too tired to even notice until it's too late. And it's better than multiple times a night wake-ups that he had for the first 2.5 years of his life. But last night he wet the bed. In our bed. So at 5 am I notice, and put him back in his bed, my wife goes to the guest bed downstairs, and I go to the couch downstairs. Not five minutes later he's calling for me and won't stop. So I get to finish the last two hours of the night on the floor next to his bed.Shalhavet posted:Happy new Bluey day. I'll just be crying over Cricket and Dragon, don't mind me. Yeah, Dragon got me this weekend. My mom died last March.

Odd Squad sets the bar for kids’ shows for me. Everyone can relate to a villain whose heel turn began when he stepped on a block as a boy and embarked upon a lifelong war against cubes.

Rufio posted:I read an article criticizing Bluey for setting high expectations for parenting but I seriously thought it was some kind of joke or troll. But here we are and goons think they need to live up to the standards of cartoon dogs. I'm sorry I can't give my children an upper class life while only working part time e: I'm sorry that walking around with my kid on my feet like in bad mood is actually really awkward and difficult and is therefore boring. I'm sorry that lifting a 40 pound bag of meat is significantly more difficult than lifting a 40 pound weight and, as it turns out, I can't actually lift him high enough to sit upside down on an 8 foot ceiling like what uncle redd does easily. I'm sorry that FaceTime doesn't let you freehand draw pictures on screen like in faceytalk so you can't actually draw your own cowboy hat on yourself Renegret fucked around with this message at 20:24 on Jan 16, 2024 |

Does anyone have recommendations for an art supplies case for a 4 year old, preferably one that doesn't include a full set of markers, colored pencils, and other poo poo? We have art supplies everywhere and I think I've reached my limit.

We have art supplies everywhere and I think I've reached my limit. We got this and put it in the corner. It's not pretty but it's cheap and functional though I imagine it's not what you have in mind https://www.michaels.com/product/cl...8BoCeUsQAvD_BwE Each drawer is pretty small which ends up being a plus. You have a drawer of just markers, of just crayons, of just construction paper, of just stickers, etc. Helps keep everything organized, and stay organized.

Koivunen posted:“Mama look at the unicorn I drew! It’s rainbow! Her name is Horny!” My daughter came up with a set of kittens and one was "Knotsy" because it liked knots. It fit thematically with the others [Like Heartsy and Dotsy and Starsy] that were little symbols she could draw. Knotsy's was a pretzel.

King Hong Kong posted:I haven’t watched that much Bluey and, while I think it’s pretty high quality, I really wish there was more criticism about the expectations it sets for parenting. They work infrequently enough in the show that I have no clue what, if anything, they do; One is a bomb sniffing dog at the airport (Dad?) and the other is an emotional support dog at a hospital or something

My son decided to announce he was counting by saying "I'm one-ing, I'm two-ing, I'm three-ing" Both parents had to take a moment right before he got to 70

My 5yo likes to do this, but she needs to work on whispering, because it's usually an uncomfortably ticklish bwshfswhgrshswsh and I have to ask her to say it normally.

This morning, 4:30, wife texts me that she’s been sick and is sleeping in the guest room. Thankfully it’s a day when both girls are in daycare, I get them out of the house with a manageable amount of tears, get my wife some Gatorade and saltines, pick up both kids from daycare (managing to remember Mrs Puppy, the stuffed dog my daughter insists on taking and bringing home every night), get my oldest out of her cold weather gear, and immediately have to rush to the bathroom so I can vomit. Luckily my wife is feeling a bit better? But this still sucks a lot and i am dreading what feels like the kids inevitably getting it.

Narrator: what dismas didn't know, or maybe refused to acknowledge, is that both kids already had it but simply weren't showing symptoms yet

Yup. Just came back from a trip to China with zero issues, only to be welcomed to a household with a stomach bug. Wife was throwing up on the hour all of yesterday, I felt like rear end starting yesterday noon, and have the runs now. Kids? Mildly off, no vomiting or diarrhea.

My kid has discovered some kind of weird humor and I love it. It consists of running up when I'm in the kitchen and saying mommy, daddy can I ask you a question? And when you say yes she says pants or mommy pants daddy pants. And then says okay bye in a weird voice and runs away. It's really weird and very hilarious to me.

And in breaking news: the little one (21 months) just shat in the jacuzzi during bath time, and the daycare fed them corn by the looks of it.

We had the same bug rip through our house after Thanksgiving. The family we do play dates most frequently with got it after we did. My wife started feeling queasy and immediately went on a business trip cross country and gave it to half the state You're welcome

Why yes, I do enjoy spending the hours from 11:30pm to 3:30am discussing with my toddler such diverse topics as "Should we be sleeping now", "Should you be sleeping in your own bed", "Is it reasonable that you're upset you don't have a pacifier seeing as you yourself flung it across the room in a fit of rage." She was, of course, fully awake at 7am. I was not.

Day 3 of locking the toddler in his room at night: He slept for 10.5 hours straight. I went into his room and opened his blinds at wake up time, he slept for another 20 minutes. When he finally woke up, he smiled at me and hopped out of bed and asked if we could do some stretches and take deep breaths together.  I am not going to declare premature victory as I expect we’re going to do some “rubber banding” where he will get rested, then stay up all night, then crash for a while. But one night of rest and peace was nice. We’re also going out of town for the weekend and will screw up his sleep schedule again so we got that going for us. I still feel like I have some kind of sleep trauma though where now I can’t go to sleep because I’m just waiting for him to wake me up.

My wife has developed a panic response where if she wakes up and sees me sitting up in bed she throws back the covers and leaps out of bed before I can assure her that nothing is wrong, nobody is crying, I'm just about to go to the bathroom.
