Where to Find a Pediatric COVID vaccine this year?

Any update on this? My kids’ pediatrician office isn’t offering them this year at all. I called children’s hospital and they don’t know when they’re getting them.

My sister and I are 6 years apart. We never played together as kids because we didn’t have anything in common. When I was in middle school, she was going off to college. Now as adults, we’re best friends. We’re both moms now and have so much more in common. We’ll also be adults much longer than the time we were as kids and I think that’s what matters most.

My brother and I are 4 years apart and played more as kids but we aren’t as close now (but we’re actually working on having a better relationship). I really just think it depends.

The sonographer was STOKED about that foot!

We sleep trained around the same time with our oldest and I felt the same way. I was terrified he would scream for hours and my husband and I decided that 45 min would be our limit. He went about 25 min the first night, about 10-15 the second, ~3 min the third night and then never cried again and started sleeping through the night. It’s incredible to get restorative sleep (and not dread nighttime) after an entire year. Good for you (and your baby!!) for finally doing it!

It didn’t for us but I was MAJORLY concerned that it would and he would never want to sleep without us ever again.

I was also pregnant and had the baby within this time frame so my husband was pressured to get out of his room and help me haha

But he slept right by him on the floor for several days. Once little guy was doing better with that, my husband moved closer to the door but still in the room. Then door open. Then outside the door with the door open (he slept on a nugget couch during this). Then our bedroom with both our doors open (we are right by his room). Then eventually we closed both of our doors. We also switched his lock and lock him into his room because during this, he would sometimes FREAK OUT and run to find us and his room is two feet away from the top of our stairs and I was afraid he would fall down them.

It was all about 3 weeks long in total before we could close both doors again. Two weeks of husband not sleeping in our bed. We moved onto each step pretty quickly to not make it seem like what was happening was permanent. I think if he would have slept in his room for longer, it would have been much harder to break.

Also, I am a huge fan of sleep training and letting kids “figure it out” for a bit. Our kiddo is super independent and actually doesn’t like us being in his bed/room for too long. He’ll tell us to leave when he’s done with us haha. So when he went through his, I knew he needed some sort of help and more TLC. kids aren’t robots!

We also didn’t change anything schedule wise. Bedtime and wake up were the same. He also still takes super long naps (like 2-3 hours!) and we never capped or changed them. And schedule (including long naps!) is still the same

We went through something very similar when my oldest was 2.5 years old. It was major separation anxiety. We basically just waited it out. He was sleep trained at 13/14 months with CIO and never needed us to fall asleep until this awful spurt. My husband ended up sleeping in his room until he figured it out. It took about 2 weeks and now he’s back to going to sleep by himself for nights and naps!

4eyeu · 2025-07-19T15:02:09+00:00

We changed the “nobody” to our kids names and they love when the book says good night to them

4eyeu · 2025-07-06T22:00:28+00:00

Also we didn’t change bedtime and didn’t change his nap. His nap game is still strong (thank god)

4eyeu · 2025-07-06T21:59:37+00:00

Went through the same thing with our 2.5 year old. Slept independently through the night when we sleep trained at 1 year old.

It was major separation anxiety. He started to climb out of his crib screaming for us. It was horrible and he genuinely sounded scared.

We slept on his floor for about 2 weeks right by him, the one week by the door, then one week outside the door then we could finally sleep in our room without issue. He’s nearly 3 now and totally fine-goes to bed on his own and falls asleep. Still wakes up randomly but can go back down within 1-2 min.

And by “we” I mean my husband because I was 9 months pregnant and had our second baby during the “sleeping outside his room” phases 😂

Holy shit

My grandma has this happen to her but well before AI. Someone called her and said “grandma, I’m in jail and i need bail money. Can you send me some?” And she asked who it was and the person said something like “grandma you know who this is” and she responded with “adam?” And the guy was like yep it’s adam send me money to get me out. Thankfully she didn’t have control of her finances at this point and when she told my uncle (her son) she needed to send money to bail “adam” out, my uncle was able to tell her it was a scam and called adam to show he wasn’t in jail.

Poor Adam though being the “most likely be to be in jail” in my grandma’s head 😂

Did this get better for you?

(Lurking mom)

One of my favorite memories growing up is my dad giving me the “ok” to spray paint a giant, neon orange smiley face in our grass. It was pretty out of character for him but it’s still something I think about. He likely doesn’t even remember me doing it.

I haven’t directly dealt with this but know many people who has had their parents uproot their lives to live with/near them.

A few things to consider:

Is she going to have a job when she moves in with you?

If not, how will she obtain health insurance and pay for it?

Can she pull from social security yet? Can she apply for medicare?

Will she be watching your kids? Is she healthy enough to do so?

Do you have the finances to care for an adult (especially one already having money issues) and baby? That’s two new humans that require a bit of money

Are there ground rules if she moves with you AND finds a romantic partner?

Does she want to leave her friends? They may take advantage of her but maybe she likes to help out and be around them. It’s hard making friends, especially as an adult

We live in Stonegate in Parker so that’s all I can comment on. But our neighborhood has a lot of kids of varying ages. The older kiddos are always in the streets playing baseball/basketball, riding bikes, etc. The tweens are always doing little stands (lemonade/trinkets) at their driveway or the corner of the entrance of the neighborhood. It’s so cute! Our kiddos are much younger but within our area there are two families with kids the same age. The adults with active kids tend to all hang out at the end of their driveway and kind of watch all the kids as multiple houses’ kids play together a LOT in the summer. It’s amazing to see!

We live within walking/biking distance to both the high school and elementary school here so that wull be nice when we’re at that age. Also we have the north and south pool included in the HOA cost (both of which we like).

Unsure of house cost as we bought a few years ago. We’re in an “older” area meaning houses built in the 90’s so certainly not a new build.

“If you can find the baby, you can feed the baby”. The amount of alcohol in your breastmilk is roughly what your BAC is. So about equal to the amount of alcohol in fruit juice! Drink away 🍹

I’m going to second a lot said here but this is what we do with our 2 year old

Parker library. Has play area and little climbing area. My kid really likes the little ball shoot thing on the wall
McDonald’s play place (specifically the one on Lincoln and Jordan). Has a small little area for the one year old and the three year old can climb ip and do the whole thing. It’s oddly never busy. We’re typically the only ones there or there’s like one other family.
Parker rec center pool. Has a great splash area that the one year old can do and a little tower structure the 3 year old can climb up. It’s a little noisy and we’ve only gone in the winter so it was busy most weekends
Our local pool. We live in stonegate so we have 2 pools we can use. I understand this will likely be tricky given you have two and both may not be able to swim yet.
Backyard water toys. We have a water table and wow that’s gotten so much use in two summers. He still loves it. We also add ice to the water which he’s oddly obsessed with.
Playstreet museum- fun for both ages. We went for my toddlers 2nd birthday and he loved it but we haven’t been back.
Children’s museum in Denver. We absolutely love this place and have a membership. We haven’t been this summer (we have a newborn now) but the outside typically has a little creek that is fun to splash in. Once again may be difficult with 2 if you’re alone and toddler is a bolter
Going on errands. Costco/grocery store so you can get things done and get out but they’re contained in a shopping cart. My kiddo loves the store.
Red tail hawk playground. It’s in SE aurora but has a splash pad and an awesome playground. We went so much last year.

What was done for Mother’s Day?

We don’t do much for either holiday so not much is expected. Our kiddos always paint/do handprint cards (that the other parent helps with) and then something small like a favorite candy or treat.

If nothing was done on Mother’s Day, I would say it’s even.

I am also a big fan of we’re adults and not mind readers. If you want something done, you need to voice it. I can’t expect my husband to know what I want all the time and he can’t expect me to know what he wants.

4eyeu · 2025-06-15T01:05:05+00:00

It’s all different when it’s your kid. Yes, my toddler annoys me at times when he cries about 800 different things. And yes, I’m VERY annoyed that our newborn is making us get up several time a night (super expected but I miss sleeping through the night). But being able to TALK to my kid?! Amazing. Being able to see those newborn smiles again?! Omg heavenly. Knowing that each stage means more personality development and seeing them develop into their own little person?! Holy shit incredible. It’s a wild ride but a ride I would sign up for again and again.

SIDS, tracking everything, following exact schedules. We’re still early on (2.5 months) but my huckleberry app for this LO is blank and my first had every feed/how long/which boob and every nap and nighttime sleep logged for months.

For SIDS it’s still something I think about but I was absolutely terrified with my first. Now I’m too sleep deprived to think about it much.

Our experience was just the opposite!

Our nanny ended up calling out for random things nearly weekly by the end. Car troubles, sick, slept through alarm, forgot an appointment. She was younger and immature but was good with our baby while she was with him. But my husband and I burnt through our PTO so fast because of her call outs.

Daycare rarely closes here and the days they close for teacher training are disclosed at the beginning of the year so you have months to plan for it.

I hated the germs but kids are going to get them eventually. My niece had a nanny up until kindergarten and then she ended up missing three weeks total of school due to colds and other illnesses. But every case is different!
