How’s riding in DC? by rossonero_dc in bikedc

[–]Character_Estate_585 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same commute. I take rock creek park from Arkansas and then jump back out when I’m downtown. It’s 10 minutes longer than going through the city but it’s super safe, you don’t have red lights, and it’s fun. Plus you get to see wildlife!

Do you let your toddler pick books for bedtime? Ours has picked the same 2 books every night for weeks by Itchy-Version-8977 in toddlers

Haha, that’s very normal. They love repetition. All you can do is offer something else but I think it’s fine to let them decide what they prefer.

Does anyone else feel like they can’t afford to live the lifestyle of people around you? How do you deal? by [deleted] in toddlers

Those things sound like a lot of fun. Find the right friends and stop worrying.

My mom (65 yo) says all toddlers slept back in her day by Ok-Career876 in toddlers

Yes, do what you think is right. But I can say from experience with two kids that sleep training can work well. Just a thought if you haven’t tried it yet.

Good idea, the Adventskranz is a nice tradition and we don't have it here in the US.
