But the PB chocolate puffs cereal (I get the store brand at Wegmans but reeses is the name brand) isn't boring but is the best cereal hands down.

I know this because my kids whine for it.

My son likes watching live in concert videos of his favorite songs, but that's like, power metal, guardians of the Galaxy awesome mix 1, jukebox the ghost, stuff like that, so it's just...live concert videos. Only with supervision.

oh oh oh I tell this to literally every new parent but it bears repeating all the time

sleep schedule will get better, and then at 4 months there's a chance (approximately 33% from what I understand) that there will be a heavy regression back into screaming all the time no naps no sleep awful times.

it's normal, just be warned it's possible, we were not warned and a friend was like "oh poo poo I meant to warn you!!!"

haha that reminds me, i said before that my first child barely slept. this was true of car rides too. we would drive from seattle to portland to visit family (~3-5 hr trip, depending on traffic), and my daughter would cry for so much of the trip. and if we were ever lucky enough for her to fall asleep, slowing down for traffic at tacoma, olympia, etc. would wake her right up.

it was maddening, until we discovered that if we played a certain song at almost full blast, she would stop crying, calm down, and fall asleep after about 10-15 minutes of listening.

this is that song:

Yeah honestly, at some point last year we started letting our 5yo play a bunch of animal crossing and it let them express a huge amount of creativity, and also once reading in kindergarten started it provided a really cool place to practice reading.

The goal is to avoid lots of non-interactive screen time, really. Hit or miss with that one for us.

Wife had previously discussed cops being bastards (in different words) to the 6yo last year due to current events, and then today for other reasons he asked about slavery, and while explaining it he then was like "it's bad like that time when a police was mean just because of someone having darker skin"

lately he's been getting out of bed once or twice after i first say goodnight to "tell us something" which is usually "i love you"

but he's caught me a few times and now occasionally he will ask if we can "play cars"

let me tell u folks, get yourself a spare wireless controller without any batteries in it, works wonders

That can only work for so long, though.

hah, I'm planning on doing the same with my kid. When she's old enough I'm going to teach her some basic karate for self-defense and to get her used to the movements, then we'll probably all take some BJJ as a family to learn how to fight better.

I'm also gonna teach her piano if she's interested (she probably will be, she loves music and already has her own little drum kit :3:)

Which drum kit? My 6yo has been clamoring for drums but found actual, real drums in a used music shop "too loud and scary".
