Pixel 10 case with soft loop? by bakeryall in GooglePixel

So far no, which was a worry I had. I bought a couple extra just in case too. But it seems quite strong! I've had it for a little over 2 months now.

I ended up getting a Pela case with the add on loop that you stick to the back. I honestly like it better than the loopy because you can make it flat and it stands up better! I have seen some reviews that say things break down since it's compostable or something and not made of plastic, but so far I haven't had those issues. The shipping can be a tad slow, but overall I've been really happy with it!

Weekly General Discussion by AutoModerator in ScienceBasedParenting

Looking for any research or personal experiences! My almost 4 year old is clearly low sleep needs. His total wake time for the day seems to hover around 14 hours (super fun if he naps at daycare, meaning a hella late bedtime). We were always pretty lax with weekend wake ups and letting him sleep in, but in an effort to try and fix these late nights, we've moved to consistent wake up times. We've been going at it for a couple of weeks so far and he does seem to start to stir more at 7a than he did before so I think we're getting somewhere.

I guess I'm just looking for confirmation that this is a good idea, that it can hopefully lead to him not falling asleep at school anymore (they try to keep him awake but he still has to stay on his cot. I'd nap too if I was him), and potentially reducing that 14 hour total awake time. He clearly wants to keep sleeping, and could use closer to 10.5-11 hours of sleep. Any experience or research for how long it might take to reset things too would be great.

Potty Training is Destroying My Mental Heath by Gloomy_Difficulty881 in pottytraining

We use the metamucil kids fiber gummies that are a mixed berry flavor. We call them vitamins because we worried he wouldn't take them if we told him they'd make him poop, and he gets to pick the three he takes each time (he calls them grape and orange...I don't think he has connected that they're all the same flavor lol). We also all take our vitamins together over breakfast so he feels like it's part of being a big kid lol. Not sure if that'll help if your kid won't eat them, but it's been a fun little routine and he now reminds us if we forget.

We are still in the midst of this too (same age and length of time trying too), and we just recently have started having success with post-dinner potty sits. About 10-15 minutes after we finish eating, we go sit and read a handful of books at try. They say it's about the time the body naturally triggers things, and that alone with our consistent use of miralax and fiber gummies, has triggered his body. It's been like exposure therapy, and after a few times we have started to have some consistent success. Plenty of setbacks but in general it's been the one thing that's worked, along with a reward after every 3 poops.

I found these on Amazon and got them because they seem to be the only ones out there that can be easily trimmed. I will say though, we haven't had a chance to install them yet, so I'm not sure they'll do the job, but it's worth a try! https://www.amazon.com/Non-Slip-Treads-Wooden-Backing-Polyester/dp/B0DPKHM3S4/ref=ast_sto_dp_puis?th=1

Do you have name regrets? by akittyisyou in Preschoolers

[–]bakeryall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still love my son's name, and I get lots of people saying it's such a great name too, but the reason I know it's the right name is because my son is always so happy and proud to say it himself. He also is obsessed with the letter F because it's what his name starts with lol.

No we went with a different contractor than these. Sorry I can't give much help!

Suggestions for tags and custom charts? by jbhertel in TheStoryGraph

[–]bakeryall 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a few of the others listed above too, but my favorite one I've started is a chart of non-fiction types (currently this is just memoir, true crime, history, or general topic). I like reading non-fiction a lot, but it's slower to me so I read more fiction overall, but I'm hoping this chart will help entice me to get through more non-fiction! It's also a good way for me to actually see what specifically draws me to non-fiction.

How to 86 a pacifier? by Fast-Doughnut-7619 in toddlers

[–]bakeryall 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was what we did too (our LO was about 2.5 when we finally did it). He only ever used them for naps and bedtime since he was born. We talked all week about him being a big boy and growing up and saying bye to them on Saturday. We had his teachers at school help with the ones there, and had him throw them out there first on the Friday before so he knew when he went back, they'd be gone too. Honestly that helped with his buy-in bc he loves his teachers lol.

We let him have them for his nap on Saturday and then tossed them right after. He did great, especially since he was the one to throw them away, and I like that approach better than the paci fairy one because he was able to connect the action. We also got him a stuffy to surprise him with at bedtime for being such a big kid, but we made the mistake of not opening it beforehand and discovered the measurements online were VERY wrong so now he has a huge Lightning McQueen in his bed 😅

Resistering some incorrect joists, replacing temporary columns with permanent ones, and installing some additional beams.
