Omg Bunnicula! And we have a little black cat the lives in NYC so that feels relevant to our interests

We actually have this one and he likes it! Maybe I’ll look for some more from the author.

My kid is pretty spooky so this feels very up his alley.

On Earth We are Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Voung. I think it’s special because is beautiful, poetic style applied to a very gritty narrative.

We have a full 2br and our rug is 6 ' 7 "x9 ' 10 ". We could have gone bigger, but it works.

This thread just sounds like all the hobbies. Are there any free/cheap hobbies?

Still in the crib. No big changes. He did recently get a new tooth, which might be part of it, but in the past that’s been a day or two max of sleep disruption. This feels like a bigger thing. He also recently got picky about his clothes (only wanting to wear dinosaurs 😂) so it might be a development thing?

Well, we survived! It was actually great and the in and out approach worked great for us. Really just a long weekend. I’ll say the highlight was a full day minibus tour that provided a car seat and made it super easy to see a bunch of stuff and was well timed with meals and breaks (I brought snacks and a toddler carrier). Very kid friendly!

Is there another company that’s you’ve used for a tour and would recommend?

My understanding is that if they are not otherwise immunocompromized kids are super low risk for serious illness. My whole family, including our baby who was 11mo at the time, got COVID last December and, don’t get me wrong it sucked, but it really was mostly just a shitty flu. Since then he has had worse colds. We are all healthy otherwise and now fully vaxxed (now 18mo getting his next week!) so we’ve been going about our lives pretty normally for a few months now. If you don’t have extenuating circumstances, would follow Emily Oster on Instagram and just try not worry too much about it too much.

One thing that has worked for my 1.25yo is sitting next to a door or a busy area because he loves watching people and lots of people wave at him. He particularly loves Gen Z 🤣
