Can't stop thinking about the family whose 2-year old boy fell into a river in Leicester. They were just walking alongside it and then he disappeared into the raging torrent. They still haven't found the body. Can't imagine what that feels like  Stories like those hit me in a way they never have before. Felt sick when i was reading about it last night, still feel sick

Her minmaxed poop strat has already completely filled our reward chart, and she's on to Level 2, in which we're NOT inadvertently incentivizing her to poop/pee as frequently as possible. Every day without an accident gets a star. Every poop or pee on the big toilet (which she still won't touch) gets two stars. Ten stars gets her a stuffed kitty. Worst case, she gets the drat cat in like two days and isn't scared of normal toilets anymore, which we'll absolutely take.

My kids are asleep by seven, seven thirty when I put them to bed. My wife can't get the youngest to sleep, so she'll usually tag out around seven thirty

And how long does they daycare let them nap for? they nap from 12 to 2, we wake him up around 7. i have tried getting him up earlier but it doesn't really seem to affect his bedtime, likely because of the nap. my daughter on the other hand is a perfect angel, she goes to sleep at 7:30, bedtime routine is simple (bath, brush teeth, sing twinkle twinkle), and she sleeps all night.

I constantly think about what my kids are doing and if they're safe when I'm not around. It's maddening. On a less downer note, speech therapy seems to be paying off for my youngest. His enunciation has improved and he's making a better effort to say something rather than get frustrated and point at what he wants. Baby steps

I am very empty brain and cold heart when it comes to being separated from my kid for a workday or an afternoon. It is straightforwardly simple to compartmentalize, I simply have faith they will be ok by the time I see them

It's maddening. my younger son is starting to get over a lot of speech issues and he can finally rattle off extemporaneous speech without having to concentrate super hard. I mentioned how smooth his speech had been and he said "yeah I actually really like talking now."

my daughter's language has always seemed to be pretty good, although she does stick her tongue out to talk occasionally, but that seems to be more of a "hey this sounds really silly when I do this" than an actual issue.

"Fergs, where's your pants?" "Banished!" Unfortunately, might need to correct that however funny it is.
