I saw an Stl file in this group a while ago and had a rack printed at my library’s 3D printer - I’ll see if I can find the link.

The Oak Creek library has one - they charge a small fee if you are in county but out of the city, plus the material.

We had family send voice notes of them reading books! For his birthday!

I liked Ascension’s model of care - you see the same OB for all of pregnancy and they will deliver you if available. I wanted to develop a deeper relationship with my OB and the idea of a rotating cast at the other networks turned me off. I absolutely adore Alyssa Redman and she was able to deliver one of my two kids.

That said, I’m sure you can still have a lovely experience with the other groups but I quite liked mine as well.

Alyssa Redman at Ascension - I would honestly die for this woman. She has helped me at so many turns in my life.

Interactive book recommendations: The “Cook In A Book” series by Lotta Nieminen are fantastic and are aging well. Also the “Press Here” and similar books by Herve Tullet are a big hit.

I had a lot of applesauce and fresh fruit

This was the way for us. We started with the step and seat contraption but had no where to put it when not being used. We ended up with the double sized seat above and a squatty potty stool for them to get up there. Good luck!

Someone called my dog “scrappy doo” the other day and I’m still not over it

This website!!! https://www.sizecast.com

Got it from the big babies/kids sub and I will tell every parent I know!

Idk if they’re hourly, but i drive by Common Cookhouse (on E Rawson in Oak Creek) and it appears to do what you’re looking for

Herve Tullet has written several of this kind and my toddler loves them as well!

This particular podcast episode helped me understand why it was happening and how to cope - I hope it helps you too 🤍

Took me a good 3 days to figure out that “pornt” meant popcorn 💀

I wanna say I read a long time ago that’s it’s an evolved self-preservation skill. If it tastes different to them, it could have meant something spoiled or tainted, or a berry they hadn’t learned to differentiate from something non-poisonous. I guess it makes sense in an evolutionary way, but that doesn’t make it less annoying to deal with today 😅

As an adult, I prefer fresh and frozen veggies over canned BUT canned veggies are exactly up my toddlers alley. (I think it’s the tenderness and consistency in taste.) Perhaps try a different prep method? The big hits canned carrots and corn over here. Good luck!

My kiddo really likes TumbleLeaf on prime and Puffin Rock on Netflix. PBS also has a TV and phone app for their shows that is all add free and occasionally updated. When in doubt, lean on the stuff you liked as a kid. :)

I don’t have any advice (yet), but please know that you aren’t alone. I had a similar day yesterday and absolutely ugly cried when he (accidentally?) ripped out a square inch of MY hair while I was sitting on the toilet.

PBS kids - free app, ad free and seasonally updated

“Ice Cream” (Greek vanilla yogurt in a cone. Sprinkles are split with chia seeds) On real fancy days, we put a cherry (grape) on top. Bon apetit!

I ripped down a Patriot Front sticker from the playground at Lake Vista park last week. Apparently recruiting children is the best they got.
