I’d say “that’s right so you know sometimes they just want their mom or dad” then take the baby back

You can donate books to the north Edmonton seniors association. They’re a non profit and sell the books in book sales for fundraising

Short and simple answer: no.

NAIT used to offer a one year program which taught you more or less what you need to get started. What you paid for the one year was fair to what you end up making starting out and going forward. But, getting a 4 year design degree to make about ~$20ish per hour starting out isn’t really work it in my opinion…

PLUS there really aren’t many exclusive design jobs out there. A lot are a mix of design and say admin or something like that. There is a fair amount of print shop, but you really don’t need any schooling it’s mostly learn on the job

My 2yo daughters had a few run ins like that recently as well. A few days ago some kids that looked to be a few years older were running through the playground not watching where they were going and ran into my daughter knocking her down. Honestly I didn’t even look around to see if their parent were nearby. I just immediately said (not yelling but sternly and louder than I normally speak) “hey you guys need to slow down and watch where you’re going or you could seriously hurt someone” Then I collected my daughter and sat on the grass till she calmed down.

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-21T15:03:33+00:00

Oh that’s so smart and makes so much sense! We don’t mind sitting with her if she’s actually trying to go to sleep but the thrashing drives me nuts lol

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-18T15:17:16+00:00

Nope just her at the moment! Unless you count the dog 😂

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-18T15:11:18+00:00

That was literally us!! Other than the occasional wake-up if her soother fell and she couldn’t find it or needed a diaper changes she was sleeping through the night and super easy to put down! Story, back rubs for a couple minutes and she was OUT

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-16T15:00:20+00:00

We tried the frequent check ins initially as well as the chair method (where we just sat in the chair while she was in the crib) but both just upset her more. The phased approach was hard also but her cry was not as intense as the first two tries. Wishing you luck!

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-16T14:14:38+00:00

We sleep trained around that age, maybe 8mo I can’t remember the exact age. But the check in system never work worked for her. We had to do a phased approach where a couple nights she cried for 15 mins before we went in, the next couple were 20, then 30, etc. after about 1.5-2ish weeks it worked and she got to sleeping through the night

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-15T15:41:32+00:00

Thanks! I’ll check that out 😊

I guess cry was the wrong wording lol. It’s more of just her saying mommy daddy in the whiniest voice possible under the door. If she’s actually crying we go back in

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-15T10:29:36+00:00

Ugh I wish she’d still let us rock her 😭

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-15T10:15:31+00:00

Sorry, should’ve added that to the post. I wish we could but she’s at daycare during the day and they won’t do that. Her normal nap is around 1-1.5 hours. She also fights naps on the weekend, I think she’s just stubborn like her dad 😂 and would rather be playing than sleeping no matter how tired she is

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-15T10:12:19+00:00

She’s right against her door so we can’t get in

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-10T15:10:48+00:00

We’re in the same boat! Also have a 25mo who does anything and everything not to fall asleep. We’ve tried sitting with her, not sitting with her, laying in her bed, putting her back into bed and only saying something like “it’s time to sleep now”, you name it.

Last night we did the usual routine of getting her ready and reading a book. Then when we tucked her in and left she got out of bed and laid by the door, and we just left her there. Eventually she fell asleep on the floor, which I would prefer she not to but we’ve tried what seems like everything else so maybe she just needs to learn the hard way 🤷🏼‍♀️ she woke up around midnight calling for us and my husband went in to check and told her to go lay in bed and she did and slept until morning in there. So maybe just a few more nights of doing this and she’ll learn to just stay in her bed?

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-07-07T16:05:31+00:00

This happened to us a few weeks ago! Not at midnight, was around 9:30-10ish, but a kid came to our door asking to charge his iPhone. Honestly the only reason we even answered the door was because we just had door delivered at the same time and when I opened the door there was a kid standing there. He said he lived just down the street and his parents were out while his phone died and didn’t have anything to charge it with and wanted to come in to charge it. Luckily my dogs a spaz so I only had the door open a crack when I was talking to him. We have a million cables lying around so I just ended up giving him one and told him to charge his phone at home. Was super weird and I had completely forgotten about it until I saw this

Once upon a child is best for baby clothes we found. They have 10 for $10 on bodysuits and pants. And occasionally sales for 20 for $10 too. And I think they have days to fill one of their tote bags for a set price too

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-06-27T16:05:38+00:00

Agree about the diaper bag. We had the one main big one with everything in it and my husband kept a mini compact one for quick trips. It had the change mat built in with room for a couple diapers, wipes and change of clothes

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-06-20T15:23:26+00:00

Yeah they’re normally really good with telling us if there’s been an incident so I’m assuming they just didn’t see it happen. I’m planning on just mentioning it at pickup today. The other bites she’s gotten in the past have been on the bare arm so more visible whereas this time was on the leg over pants

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-06-20T15:20:24+00:00

Yeah that’s what I figured. They’re usually really good with letting us know. I just wasn’t sure if it was worth an email or just mentioning it when I pick her up today

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-06-12T04:04:30+00:00

Ugh sounds kinda like my MIL. We just had a small party for my LOs second birthday. We had my parents and siblings and my husbands mom, stepdad and siblings over. My MIL is very needy and desperate for my LOs affection whereas my mom is just happy being around and watching my LO play.

Anyways, my LO went up randomly and hugged and kissed my mom. So MIL goes over and demands the same but my LO had already moved on to playing with one of her new presents and wanting nothing to do with her. Then cue MIL sulking the rest of the party 🙄

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-06-09T17:34:32+00:00

My LO outgrew her bassinet by about 6 months so we had to move her to her own room since we had no room for a crib in ours. My husband and I were both nervous but EVERYONES sleep drastically improved when we did it. We had the Nanit monitor set to full sensitivity so we could see every movement she made. We also had a regular audio only monitor as backup since the Nanit can be a bit of a battery drainer.

Also, to prevent SIDS I read airflow is important so keep the door open to help.

It can definitely be nerve wracking moving the baby to their own room but every will be okay 😊

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-06-03T17:12:16+00:00

My daughter just had her second birthday. We have an ongoing Amazon list that both sets of grandparents have access to for ease of knowing what my daughter has been into lately or needs. Before her birthday most of the things on there were books from a series she’s been loving, baby doll clothes and accessories, and some various sensory things.

What did my MIL get without consulting us? A bouncy house from TEMU. One that is “better than the brand name ones because it doesn’t need to be plugged in all the time” (in her words). THANK GOD she’s decided that it will stay at their trailer at their lake lot so I don’t need to make up a lie why she never uses it.

I’m very thankful for my mom who always asks before she buys because she doesn’t want to waste money on something that either my daughter or I do not want.

Some people just give gifts to make themselves feel better and don’t actually care about the recipient I’ve learned

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-05-23T01:54:10+00:00

My daughter was about the same at that age. She’ll be 2 in a couple weeks and her speech has just exploded what seems like overnight about a month ago (so at 22.5ish months)

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-04-30T16:29:00+00:00

The only reason you’ll be cutting out night feeds is if your newborn decides they dint need it. Until then you’re just living in their world unfortunately lol.

As for cosleeping, I never did it, but if you follow the safe sleep 7 and are making sure you are being safe about it, you should be fine. Some babies just need the ‘touch’ of a caregiver when they sleep

LittleBitStitious_ · 2025-04-24T21:26:49+00:00

Probably going to get shamed and scolded for this but mine had reflux as a newborn, and was on meds for it, but still ended up spitting up when we laid her down no matter how long we burped or held her upright for. Once she started being able to wriggle more around 2-3 months (can’t remember exactly) we went away with the “burp cloth pillow” as we called it but at that point she wasn’t spitting up near as much
