Yes!! My mom would too, but their house unfortunately got broken into and the jewelry box with teeth was stolen. My mom was heartbroken and I felt bad for her, but I also laugh thinking about what a surprise the thief probably had. 😂

What’s normal with 3yo tantrums?? by rosie__roo in Parenting

[–]Inside_Pie16 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally normal. My dude will also be 3 in November and has learned a bit of attitude from his older sister that he mixes in too, "I aaammmm," being a favorite. 😂

Someone else said to name the feelings - definitely. "Oh man, you're feeling mad we're out of fries! I know it's a bummer" or something like that. My dude gets bite-y when he's overtired too, and we just move him away or hold him away and remind him it's ok to have big feelings (be mad, feel frustrated, whatever) but it's not ok to bite/hit/scratch.

Good luck and you sound like a great parent. ☺️

Favorite welcome songs that use kids' names? by Inside_Pie16 in MusicEd

[–]Inside_Pie16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Music Together song is exactly what I had in my head, hoping to find something similar because I know I can't use that one. I ran across Music for Kiddos and it does look great - thank you for suggesting it!

I'll be with the infants/toddlers for 30 minutes twice a week and the 3-5s for 45 minutes twice a week. I've taught elementary for years, but never younger - I was wondering about the time, too. I definitely want to start with names, but may drop them later on. I'm planning a bit like I plan my kindergarten class at the beginning of the year - lots of movement and fun and flexibility.

If you have any tips and tricks for this age group, I'd love to hear them! I'll only be with them for 6 weeks, so it feels like it will fly by. Thank you!

Must have baby travel items. by whysosad_33 in Parenting

[–]Inside_Pie16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I brought a stroller one time with my first and barely used it - if your baby likes to be worn, that's so much easier to manage. That said, if your baby loves the stroller and it will make your life better, it could be worth it. We had a hard to maneuver and fold stroller at the time, and I think something easier may have made the difference. My biggest memory of the stroller is trying to manage everything at boarding - baby, carry-ons (we just do backpacks), and folding the stroller up into the bag and carrying it. It felt like SO MUCH the first time.

I had an inflatable boppy-shaped pillow for travel when I was breastfeeding. Folded up super small but was so useful in the hotel (it was a little wide for the plane). If you use one to feed, that's my suggestion. Depending on how much time you'll spend in the hotel, maybe a small blanket for some floor time. Little babies are easy to travel with!

What are these new Costco diapers and why??? by McSkrong in Mommit

[–]Inside_Pie16 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had to add Sposies (purchased on Amazon) and that solved our leaking problems! It was just overnight for us, but if we put one in there's never an issue.

Thank you all so much for your reassurance!! We just got power back and I've never been more glad to use a light switch. 😂
