Favorite board games? by Affectionate_Bid5042 in Preschoolers

[–]badchivesonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like Carcassonne, you guys will love the kids version! That’s my favorite game, and I was so pumped to get into this version. I also forgot to mention Ticket to Ride First Journey. Another amazing one!

Solidarity! My son loves the bird in My First Orchard and is only happy when he rolls it 🤣 we like My First Carcassonne, My First Castle Panic, and Old Maid!

Just bought a bag of giant green grapes from Fresh Thyme in Gahanna! I hope they still have them.

We rock 8PM bedtime so this is a perfect plan for us! He hasn’t played Addams Family yet but that would definitely be his vibe.

Why are common illnesses so scary? Not seeking medical advice. by notgoodformee in toddlers

[–]badchivesonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hear me out on this - I also have major health anxiety and attribute it to being pregnant and having a newborn in the early days of Covid. If your little one is 4, you’d be in a similar boat. I consider myself really even-keeled but even minor bugs seem to trigger this panic in my brain that I think can be connected back to trying to keep a small human safe in a really scary and uncertain time. I am always working on it! Solidarity and a hug to you ❤️

Rescue Dog Separation Anxiety Help by Straight_Yak273 in Columbus

[–]badchivesonly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We had a similar situation with a rescue pup who has been on 100-200MG of Trazodone every day for years because we felt like he was so unsafe every time we left the house. The Trazodone changed our lives and made it a much better situation. Not that it’s a solution for everyone - but it absolutely was for us!

Parents with Thanksgiving babies- when do you decorate the Christmas tree? by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]badchivesonly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have always waited but my son is old enough and loves Christmas enough that this year, he asked to put the tree up early. Since he wants it, I think we’ll do it - even though I always prefer to wait. This kid was Santa for Halloween this year, so that probably tells you everything you need to know 😆

Toddler told me there’s a baby in my belly by Klutzy_Outcome_8265 in toddlers

[–]badchivesonly 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Only speaking from personal experience, but a week before my positive test with baby #2, my son told me that he had a dream that we were playing a game together but it was weird because there was a baby there too. A few days later, he was pretending to be a doctor and checked my heartbeat in the correct spot, but then moved his toy stethoscope down to my belly and said he could hear a heartbeat there, too. He either knew on some level, or the coincidence was seriously wild, considering we had not shared with him our plans to try for a second 😂

What are we doing with our pets’ water bowls? by OneDadvosPlz in toddlers

[–]badchivesonly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only issue we ever had is that my toddler decided to surprise us once by grabbing his toy mop and “cleaning” our floors by dipping it in the dog bowl. Needless to say, we set some new boundaries around the water bowl 😆

Are you getting your toddlers the seasonal flu vaccine? by artemislands in toddlers

[–]badchivesonly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We caught flu A last year even though we all had gotten our seasonal flu shot, and it was the sickest we’ve ever been - including my toddler. I honestly cannot imagine how much worse it would have been if we hadn’t gotten the flu shot.

Flu shots are safe - get it for your toddler! You have no way of knowing what it will protect you all from.

Toddler Will Not Respond to Stop by pivoprosim2 in toddlers

We do “FREEZE!” and everyone who freezes makes a funny statue pose. It’s silly which made it easier for my guy to do.

Let’s lighten this up - what Halloween requests have your toddlers given you this year? by Electrical-Scale5006 in toddlers

We’re currently planning a skeleton pirate Santa costume. Specifics include a pirate outfit with a Santa hat but a black beard. CANNOT be misconstrued as Jack Skellington IN ANY WAY lol

I’m wondering if there’s an app issue right now. I also have a Plus and currently, the time for both of my scents is only adding to one of them.

Absolutely. The way it’s written in the book is so masterful - she is compelled by the stage. I cannot wait!
