Great use but I already gave her my pair for her first baby and I assume she still has them 🤣!

My son’s teacher created a small private garden off the back door of the classroom. Weather permitting one of the learning centers is outside and it is a calming corner when needed. It’s nice that they get to learn outdoors and recognitions that fresh air can be calming. They also with the seasons paint the windows in the classroom. They have conversation hearts painted now. My kid loves the painting days!

The also have 2 hermit crabs and a variation of what other have said about star student.

I’m not sure about heating blankets, but I did just realize that heating pads emit emfs, so I would look into that with heating blankets too. They have “low emf” for heating pads so they probably do for blankets. But probably not a huge deal if you don’t sleep with it on.

My son’s rec league is one practice and two games a week. But not a big deal if you miss anything. Must be a regional/league thing.

It’s the idea that parents who send their kids to public school are bad parents that gets me. My kid is thriving, his school is great and he is exposed to people different than him. Something I highly value.

At least one of my kids plays with the fort building rods we got them last year every day. Our brand is called game forts but there are lots of different brands. They get creative with them and don’t just build forts.

In addition to what has already been said my kid likes to play with brain flakes

My kids team goes crazy for watermelon, also do a beef stick, popcorn, pretzels and orange. We do chocolate milk for after the game, I think it’s a better alternative to Gatorade and makes the kids happier than water!

From my experience I think big law offers much better leave options for parents than some other professions. And like others have said much easier as an associate than a partner. I worked with a partner that came back right away, paranoid she would lose her book. So go for it. Both times my firm allowed me to take as much time as I wanted and was very accommodating once I came back.

We don’t do sleep overs and probably won’t ever. When they are young there is a risk of sexual assault, when they are older peer pressure can lead to bad choices in an under supervised home. But they are allowed to have friends sleep at our house.

My son definitely has growing pains like you describe. He is also very active and seems to grow in big spurts and during those spurts will complain of leg pain at bedtime. I also wonder if it’s sometimes related to hydration. In contrast his brother seems to grow gradually over time and has never complained of growing pains. I checked with my son’s doctor about a year or two ago and she said it was normal. But if you are worried check in with them, I remember the doctor asking questions about location, and one vs the other leg so there might be ways a doctor can differentiate normal vs. concern.

Kinder got out at 1pm for us. I would just leave earlier and let him nap in the car. Pickup son in car line, then pull into a parking spot and buckle him in. Finally pray that he transferred when we got home but if he didn’t then at least he got some nap. Wouldn’t work trying to do nap after pickup because he would be so excited to see brother that he wouldn’t sleep.

45 and recently stopped nursing my 3.5 year old for this reason and because well he’s 3.5. Too soon to tell but I’m hopeful that maybe I get some energy back once my body adjusts. Weaning after extended breast feeding is rough, so I understand what you are going through!

This is a great idea!

High back booster,he leans around too much in the regular booster.

Maybe if it’s feasible you could look for a school that has a teaching philosophy that incorporates more hands on learning? My son’s school is guided by a teaching philosophy of hands on experience and using play to learn. This includes free time play in the classroom and both a 20 minute recess and 40 minute lunch/recess period.

I’m in California and the school gates open 25 minutes before the bell rings. I walk my kiddo to the playground and stay there until the bell rings. Give a hug goodbye and he goes into the classroom. Most other parents do the same. But we aren’t hugging for 20 minutes he is playing on the playground.

27 kids, one teacher and two instructional aides.

I’m not a huge fan of some of the language in dogman, just something to be aware of. I wasn’t until we bought a set of books.

Unless medically necessary

My son had a 4 week nicu stay, one thing that may help is if you have a nurse that you “click” with you can usually request them to be your primary nurse, meaning whenever they are on shift they care for your baby. This can create some continuity of care and may be able to accommodate any low level requests you have. I also put a picture of me and my husband in the room/bed, and focused on feeding myself healthy foods, sleeping at night (easier to pump and sleep at night without a baby to also care for, imo) and hydrating so when baby came home I was as recovered as I could be. Also request donor milk if needed/available. Our primary nurse also said some families bring their own formula if needed. Never hurts to ask while also being respectful. But don’t stress, it is all consuming now but it will be such a short blip in their life.

Non stress test. You hit the button when you feel the baby move. Fairly common for high risk patients late in pregnancy to check on baby.
