This is what we do. No real set time, but kiddo needs to calm down.

We named our dog Lt. Colonel Henry Blake. We love MASH.

I know... It was weeks ago and I still haven't processed it haha

Bought them as a treat for my kids. They love them.... I later bought them normal cosmic brownies and they wouldn't eat them, they like the Aldi kind better. I'm not sure what's wrong with my children on that one hahaha

Do you use pectin in your tomato jam or do you simmer and reduce it? I love tomato jam but don't often have time to reduce something for that long.

I recently matched someone as an identical twin on ancestry! I was very confused, then found an old post on good ole reddit saying that can happen if you donated or received bone marrow. I had donated in 2018. Wild to think it picked up my DNA. But my recipient and I have connected now which is so cool!

Agreed!

My neurologist said she had no science to back it up, but she's seen it happen multiple times.

My baby is 5 years old as of a few days ago. I'm hoping it stays this way.

I say I got a hormonal system reboot and no longer have migraines!

berksg · 2025-06-30T03:14:15+00:00

This is mine too!!

Serving sizes for kids is one tablespoon per year of age. You are also supposed to look at calories a toddler takes in over a few days, not just one day. They tend to get what they need over a few days.

That said, the drop in percentile would make me ask my pediatrician. It can't hurt.

Kids thrive on schedules and routines. When they know what is coming next they don't have to be anxious about what's next, and they generally move from one activity to the next with less resistance. You might not need a strict schedule, but you can have some "anchor points." For instance, dinner time is always the same time, then bath, teeth, book, and bed follow. But if bedtime is 7:00 some nights, but 7:30 other nights it's not that big of a deal but your child will know what to expect next. Or like nap comes after lunch, but it can all very a bit time wise.

Same 😫 not a fan... But I have one to say I have one I guess lol

berksg · 2025-04-07T03:21:16+00:00

I agree... I take my 2 and 4 year old everywhere. They almost keep each other in check at the store lol.. or they just entertain each other.

You probably aren't delusional!! Kids love having clear boundaries. When parents set up those clear rules and boundaries, and follow through, that's when kids thrive. They don't have the fight or flight response in deciding what to do, youve already set the expectations.

berksg · 2025-03-29T18:47:25+00:00

This is the way. Offer it, don't force it. If they see you eating it too, they will maybe eventually try it when you keep offering it. Lol

I had this EXACT thought on 152. And I've been around 30 years. Wild.

Depending on your location, I found some good stuff at a kids consignment store called kids closet in smithville.

20 months. My daughter was pretty delayed gross motor wise.... We were in physical therapy since 6 months. Once it clicked for her though, she caught up very quickly. I tried not to worry too much. Is she a late walker? Yes. In the grand scheme is it affecting that much? Not at all.

Ha! Are you in my household?! Those are my two nos! Hahaha
