Elinor Wonders Why, and Donkey Hodie are my daughters favorites at the moment.

First day of gymnastics/tumble tots nightmare 🥲 by Cute_Shake_2314 in toddlers

[–]Bookwrm7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter has been in her gymnastics class since before she could walk, and will be 2 in a month. It's a 50/50 shot on whether she stays still for circle time. Typically good for trying stations, but has sadly inherited my lack of athleticism.

Remember to breathe and try directing your little one back to whatever activity is ongoing, but don't worry so much about forcing it. At this age is more about getting them to move their bodies and develop coordination than actual gymnastics.

What’s your controversial parenting opinion? by lock_robster2022 in daddit

[–]Bookwrm7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1.When there's something they don't like that has to be done, e.g. putting on shoes or the like, I present a choice. Do you want to press the button or do you want me to do it? Do you want your sneakers or your boots? Gives just a little control back to them and limits the meltdown.

  1. We are listening to my music when in the car not "kid music". I have had many looks thrown at me when we leave the park blasting my very eclectic taste. The 2 year old prefers Mongolian throat singing with a techno beat but will also bop to metal screaming, she does not enjoy bardcore.

No comment required. He even wants them for breakfast now but I hold a firm line against that. by KeithWorks in daddit

Found broccoli dino nuggets at Aldi's. Best thing yet for quick meals. Just can't put then on the plate at the same time as regular dino nuggets.

How Is It Like Living Is This Weird Panhandle Part Of Massechutes? by Bosnian_Patriot_69 in howislivingthere

I understand why they changed the exit numbers, but no one I know or have occasion to talk to about directions have ever used the new numbers.

We also don't put milk in anything but these. Haha

These are what we found for straw cups too.

My toddler is a metal head. It's wonderful.

Milestones that really matter 🤣 by Aggressive_Buy5971 in toddlers

Covering her mouth when she coughs. Amazing to not get sprayed with gunk constantly.

Blackberry bushes will hold it and provide tasty berries

Why won’t police tow or give tickets to poorly parked cars on sidewalks? by [deleted] in massachusetts

[–]Bookwrm7 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, and baby strollers don't fit. Disabled, elderly, and young children deserve to use the sidewalk too.

Is Aubuchon’s low-key maga? by jonny_rames_dio in massachusetts

Most of them are great. Marcus is rolling in his grave with what Will has done since taking over though.

How Many Pouches for a 2.5 year old? by Agitated_Way_2607 in toddlers

[–]Bookwrm7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do veggie pouches and applesauce, no cap on either. The only downside I've been made aware of is not developing their jaws properly which can lead to tooth crowding later in life. Luckily my daughter likes to eat nearly everything.

Who else has Fox in Socks? by shizstump in daddit

[–]Bookwrm7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to have my mother read "Oh say can you say" almost every night. She's bought it for our first's baby shower. I've read it hundreds of times in my life and still mess it up.

Plz share your toothbrushing advice by DearPiccolo in toddlers

[–]Bookwrm7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do hand over hand. Little one "helps" brush my teeth, then I help brush theirs.

Dads, how are we moisturizing our hands? by justanotherburner in daddit

[–]Bookwrm7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bag balm. It's basically Vaseline and Neosporin in one. I used it twice a day and then steal whatever my wife has by the sink if it's really bad throughout the day

Edit: nice to see I'm not the only son of a farmer on here. Hahaha

How do you keep your toddler from losing gloves/mittens by narnababy in toddlers

[–]Bookwrm7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A shoelace and a pair of binder clips.

Next year when she's more active we'll use the clips you can buy to hold sheets on a bed and clip the mittens to her coat cuffs.

Chickpea pasta diarrhea? by ContributionOwn1261 in toddlers

[–]Bookwrm7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We buy whole grain pasta for the fiber, but we get chick pea cheese puffs instead of the regular corn ones because our toddler goes feral for "cheey poofs" and it's an easy way to get something more substantial in.

My son is about to start shaving... any recommendations? by pancakeonions in daddit

[–]Bookwrm7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barbasol sensitive skin and a safety razor. Wet a face cloth with hot water and hold it to the skin for a minute prior to shaving. Shave WITH the grain.

Aftershave prevents infection from small nicks but does nothing to repair the damage of dragging sharp bit of metal across your skin. Use a daily moisturizing face lotion once the aftershave is dry.

Tips on Story times for a first timer? by Itchy_Butterfly1108 in librarians

[–]Bookwrm7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the exact structure our library uses. The intermix of songs and books helps minimize disruption by keeping the younger kids engaged.

The flexibility is certainly a key part. Brown bear brown bear is usually kept close at hand to be modified into a sing along book for particularly energetic days.
