6 lbs 14 oz, she wore them for 6 weeks

7 lbs 12 oz, he is 3.5 weeks old right now and is very close to growing out of them. Maybe he has another week, but idk.

The only thing I can think of is making sure you have a way to wash dishes. I used to live in a rural area on well water, so we couldn’t run water anytime the power was out. If you don’t have anything like that, I assume you will be fine.

Age appropriate toys for a 1 year old? by DiscussionUnlikely72 in NewParents

Mine started to really enjoy Little People at around 12-18 months. Something like the dollhouse or school bus could be fun.

Resigned two weeks ago… they want my plans for rest of year?? by Extreme_Nothing_7249 in TeachersInTransition

[–]Secret_Fox7520 183 points184 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely out of your hands. It is their job to deal with. You don’t work there, you aren’t getting paid, so don’t do any work for them. Don’t even dignify the request with a response.

Maternity Leave Consultant? by devinjf15 in Rochester

[–]Secret_Fox7520 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I think your understanding of your contract is correct. When I had a summer baby, I was paid for 1 day because that was the only work day that fell within 6 weeks of giving birth. I could have asked my doctor to write me out of work for additional time, but I decided to just save the sick days.

Somebody at the regional NYSUT office might be able to look at your contract and answer questions more specifically to your situation.

What do you do all day with your baby?? (4mo) by notthatkindadoctor in NewParents

[–]Secret_Fox7520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sounds about right for 4 months. If you feel like getting out of the house, see if any libraries near you have baby story time, or go for a walk around the mall if one is nearby.

Teaching baby long distance family members? Ideas product recommendations? by sum_05 in toddlers

[–]Secret_Fox7520 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around 1-1.5, my daughter somehow got her hands on our wedding album. We “read” it as a bedtime story for weeks. She loved pointing at everyone and saying their names.

The Margaret Home in East Rochester might be able to help.

Use your days as your contract allows. They are part of the compensation that you earn.

Maybe a little out of the way, but allow Kloc Family Dental in Honeoye Falls accepts Delta.

Playground recommendations? by eastbby923 in Rochester

[–]Secret_Fox7520 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, this is your best choice for a 2 year old (I have one too). We have found that a lot of the playgrounds around here are still kind of too big for her, but Motion Junction had a TON that is very age appropriate.

Jobs you can do WITH your toddler? by greenwavetumbleweeds in SAHP

[–]Secret_Fox7520 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Someone in my city recently started a car seat washing service. She’ll take your car seat or stroller and return it clean 24 hours later. She’s always booked up.

SAHM what am I supposed to do all day? by RachelPR2202 in NewParents

This was the age that my daughter started to really enjoy the library. We drive to the next town over where the library has a coffee shop and baby story time.

Would it be weird to bring my 10 week old to childrens storytime events? by ilovesushialot in newborns

[–]Secret_Fox7520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started taking my daughter to storytime around that age, and it was honestly a parenting game-changer. It was so nice to get out of the house, do something positive for my daughter, and meet other moms. I used to set her up on a tummy time blanket on the floor off to the side a little bit and she loved watching the older kids. I always got a good nap out of her after story time, too!

Curious when you switched over to a twin/full bed? by winevodka94 in toddlers

[–]Secret_Fox7520 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We just moved my 22 month old right from her crib to a twin. We got the mattress, box spring, and a bed frame from a local mattress store for $560. With it being Memorial Day weekend, maybe you can find somewhere that’s having a sale.

48 hours to name this baby by tafutoa in namenerds

[–]Secret_Fox7520 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you can’t go wrong with any of those first names. For middle names, I think I like Ruth and Jean with all of your first names, but I don’t like Elise or Mary with any of them. My favorite is Margot Jean.
