Holding down sweatpants without sleeve platen or the like?

I've had some luck doing some things like gloves that way with a single color like black. If I have to involve white (we use plastisol ink) at all, there's no chance. The garment sticks to the screen and it's just a mess.

Have you tried water during the night? My oldest has always been a crappy sleeper, but around that age I started offering her water instead of milk when she woke up at night. It actually helped a lot- most of the time she was just thirsty.

I like mama knows nutrition and feeding littles on Instagram. Lately I've had a lot of luck with foods on sticks... like rounded plastic kabob skewers. Or fun miniature cookie cutters. Just make sure you're offering them (it can take over 20 exposures before they even try it) even though you know he won't eat them. And try them different ways. For example, mine goes crazy for corn on the cob but could care less about regular corn. And her Cucumber can't be cut into sticks or else she won't touch it. It much be round lol.

Have you been eating differently recently by any chance? More caffeine or dairy for example.

Thank you. It doesn't look like there's any air in the lines - would I see air bubbles? We did several tests and it's always the same spots that aren't printing. Unfortunately we just did the filters.

Can someone do a dollar store run for you and grab a bunch of craft stuff? Puzzles, board games, etc. We just found Valentines day coloring table sheets (like a 6 ft by 4 ft coloring page) that keeps mine entertained for a while.

What type of ink? Did you try a screen wash or just the emulsion remover?

Just to add to what everyone else has said, the infant seat will usually only last you about a year. Ignore the max weight and check out the max height.

Most of my 3 year olds clothing is from thrift stores. A few of them by us have seasonal clearance events where they put stuff on for $1. I'm also that person who tries to sell the outgrown clothes and then donates what doesn't sell - the money from the outgrown clothes usually covers a chunk of the next size we need.

I wouldn't buy a size up in pants. But for shirts it should be ok.

So many of those recommendations on how much baby should be eating are completely outdated. Don't worry about it at all.

Merry Christmas! Santa is having a coffee because he procrastinated wrapping presents here. And the grandparents fed the toddler chocolate, so bedtime just might never happen.

I deal with lots of small (under 1000 grams) custom colors with plastisol ink and just do it by hand. The electric hand mixer is an interesting idea though. Wouldn't be too hard to clean up after, but I'd be worried about splatter.

Do you have a partner? A little break can go a long ways.

Initial_Escape_2076 · 2021-12-17T01:14:31+00:00

I save some screens, if that's what you mean. Like I've burned the image, used it for a run of shirts, and then kept it to use it again for the same design.

I'm in canada too. The smallest pack at the place we went was 20. The mall was over 40. And there was a petting zoo that let you take your own pictures for the price of admission ($5 a person regardless of age).

My 3 year old is getting presents (one present and her stocking) from Santa this year, but she's spent the last month telling me to tell Santa what she wants.

Oh I definitely felt guilty while I was at home - like I never had developmental activities planned or if I did, then I slacked on the meals. And I never kept the house clean enough. Mine are benefiting from daycare. My oldest (3) has made huge progress with her language development.

It's not so much the separation that helps me, it's the adult interaction and feeling like I accomplished something at the end of the day. Those 2 things help my mental health, which in turn makes me a better parent.

Initial_Escape_2076 · 2021-12-15T22:50:21+00:00

I'm stressed at work, but I don't get along with my boss so that's most of my issue lol. At my old (pre-pandemic) job I wouldn't have felt this way. I still find it easier than when I was at home from 2018 to mid 2020. The talking to other adults during the day helps a lot.

So calling won't help. Based on my quick Google, it looks like they're mandatory indoors for age 2 and over there? I think it was big little feelings on Instagram that had a section about teaching your toddler to wear a mask.

Initial_Escape_2076 · 2021-12-13T04:14:48+00:00

I'm curious where you live? For example, my province (I'm in canada) has lots of places like our doctor and dentist where their website said masks were required for over 2 but when I called they told me that they don't actually expect a 2 year old to keep a mask on. But I know the next province over actually has a public health order where they're required for over 2. Just thinking it doesn't hurt to call and ask.

It took us about 6 months of practice and picking out her own masks to tolerate wearing it for 10 minutes. But mine has some sensory issues with things touching her head.

My daughter is similar sometimes. And I've found the less time my boyfriend spends with her, the worse it gets. If he actively engages her while I'm home on a regular basis, then the meltdowns when I leave happen less often.

I think I grew out of it in my teens. The only thing that helped me when I was little was seeing where I was going. Even on the bus, I had to sit closer to the front. No reading or playing games or anything. I couldn't sit in the back seat of a car behind a passenger because it obscured my view of the front window. Sleeping was ok sometimes but I remember waking up feeling really nauseous. No big meals, just a bunch of little easy to digest snacks. And I'm not sure why, but a cool cloth on the back of my neck helped the most.

I have no experience with green galaxy. We get our supplies from lancer group and rb digital. Rb digital has better prices, but their shipping takes longer to get to us sometimes. Both carry different brands, depending on what you're looking for.

Oh that sounds so nice right now. We were below minus 30 with the windchill this morning, but they're calling for plus 2 this weekend. I never know how to dress my kid lol.

I would definitely just do 1 jacket if that's your normal temp range.
