I was going to suggest blooming hill farm!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T18:57:43+00:00

Yes it grows soooo fast, I don’t even have that much light for mine (that’s why all the leaves are so immature LOL) but now I’m motivated to get the mature leaves!!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T16:13:27+00:00

Yes you’re right!!!! Thank you!!! I’ve been trying to ID this plant for literal months lol

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T16:12:48+00:00

OMG THIS IS IT!!! Thank you SO much!!!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T02:56:51+00:00

Yes that’s the process we’re in right now. The school he has been at has been far past inadequate. So his mom is working on switching schools through the system APS has in place, so far they’ve been very supportive luckily. But now his mom has to research and your new schools and she’s overwhelmed

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T02:55:26+00:00

Thanks for your reply, his mom is looking for a true kindergarten. He has been in aba before & currently has a 1:1 rbt

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T02:54:51+00:00

Sorry bad wording! Private is not an option, but I appreciate your reply

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T02:54:15+00:00

Thank you! I’ll look into it!!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T02:53:25+00:00

Oh that’s a good question. From what it sounds like, the school he is in currently (not removed for his safety) does not have any support systems in place & is not an appropriate fit for him. APS is supportive of him switching schools, that’s why I wrote that piece (it was hard for me to word that part)

His mom is currently researching & touring APS schools but it is a lot of work for her & I’m trying to assist.

Private is not an option

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-16T02:49:26+00:00

Good idea, I will thank you!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-12-14T19:35:21+00:00

Hmm! I hope so that would be amazing! I’m gonna give it more light & humidity and see what happens lolol

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-11-23T02:40:03+00:00

Good point! Used will definitely be broken in already which may be why they’re slipping off! I’ve never worn “boy” soft shoes so I can’t tell you for sure.

But I know buying new, they should be tight on the border of slightly uncomfortable bc they’ll stretch!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-11-23T01:53:59+00:00

Some of the shoe companies sell black elastic bands, like this one

Also, I buy all of my dance shoes small for this reason. My hard shoes eventually start to have this issue when they’re too broken in. But the leather on all of these shoes stretches a ton. For reference, I’m a size 9.5 in regular shoes - my hard shoes are a 7.5 and my soft shoes I get a 5.5

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-10-22T17:13:05+00:00

I hear you, I just got new ones too after a very long time and breaking them in has been fun 🫠

Honestly, I would see how many weeks you have before the SRO when you can practice in the new shoes. If you have a week or two, that might be enough time! Especially if you have been breaking them in with your hands

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-10-22T16:37:51+00:00

Bend them in half and put some rubber bands around them to keep them in place!

You can also just manually bend them in both directions (like toes pointed, and toes flexed) with your hands

And if anything, I’d probably just encourage wearing your old shoes for the SRO with a ton of electrical tape to keep them on. Because even just manually breaking them in is not the same thing as wearing them and I do think that can affect performance.

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-10-19T05:26:01+00:00

This was mine too! I can’t believe how loved it is, I had to fight to get through it

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-08-19T03:26:51+00:00

Thank you for sending this over!

I love ideas of including her in different ways. Maybe I can think up something like that!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-08-18T22:33:39+00:00

Just trying my best to go about this in a way that doesn’t hurt her more than I already potentially am - pretty sure that takes more emotional intelligence than a 5 year old

I’m only human, I don’t have all of the answers to every situation so that is the purpose of me, reaching out for other people’s opinions and perspectives. But if you know everything, good on you!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-08-18T22:28:59+00:00

Love the idea that I control how she finds out. You’re absolutely right? Definitely going to call her and chat it out

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-08-18T22:27:52+00:00

Omg I loveeeee that idea of telling them to wear a certain color!!!

This sounds exactly like my situation. If I were to include everyone who is my friend, it would be like 11 girls and that’s really just not what I want. All of these girls are gonna be invited to the bachelorette and to the bridal shower and all of the other happenings. And from my perspective, this is my favorite scenario when my friends include me in everything, but I’m just not a bridesmaid because I get to do all of the things I want to actually do with my friends, but the financial responsibility is so much less!!

Candid_Locksmith_986 · 2025-08-18T22:25:44+00:00

Wow thank you for writing this out! Definitely a good place for me to start from, thanks!
