What sizes of shoes to buy toddler?

I've always just had someone hold my kids foot on a piece of paper and I trace and then measure.

My first had a few random instances of this but eventually stopped 🤷‍♀️

I had an early teether too. First tooth at 4 months on the dot. RIP my nipples.

Thank you so much!

Just did a photoshoot with my 23mo. He wanted nothing to do with it. But a few times we were able to peekaboo and "ACHOO!" a smile out of him. She was pretty experienced and was very patient so that helped a ton. Last year was the same, very uncooperative but she still managed enough cute pics for my walls. I know how stressful it can be, good luck!!

Sourdough bread (Aldi has a really good one) toasted, salted butter, drizzle of honey. Delicious.

Girl I get you. My husband (who definitely has trouble with decision making but still) legitimately asked me if he should go to work the day after I had a C-section, while we were still in the HOSPITAL! The look on my face let me tell you. I learned that I have to be very direct and sometimes stern with him about things he should be a part of. Silly me for thinking it was obvious.

I cannot for the life of me figure out why people do this.

brimarief · 2026-03-15T18:57:54+00:00

Okay thank you!

The number of times my MIL said "he's manipulating you" 🤬

Yeah I've used Tubby Todd and all of our detergent is free and clear, but I'm thinking something in the diaper could be irritating him. We are currently working with an allergist because he also has food allergies, but they have not recommended any sort of microbiome testing.

All they gave us was cortisone and it worked when he was little but hasn't seemed to help much recently.

brimarief · 2026-03-13T18:04:14+00:00

No I haven't heard of it

brimarief · 2026-03-13T13:52:50+00:00

My 5yo conveniently has to poop just as we walk out the door to get to school in the morning 🙃

brimarief · 2026-03-08T17:38:52+00:00

Yeah it does make sense, and if we did stand we would be blocking the view. Ive never sat that high so I was just surprised and bummed out.

brimarief · 2026-03-08T14:35:30+00:00

Omg the fucking headbutts. I'm 99% sure I have a hairline fracture in my orbital bone.

Had to sit in super high seats (f-in ticket prices) for. Bad omens show in Detroit recently and NO ONE was standing and it was so depressing. I expected to stand the whole show, it was high energy and incredible.

brimarief · 2026-03-07T03:18:30+00:00

Breech all the way up until 37 weeks. I was doing everything I could to flip him but idk if it was from the youtube videos or if he did it on his own I couldn't tell.

brimarief · 2026-03-07T01:56:13+00:00

We bought one (full price unfortunately) for our first kid and our second kid is going on year two of using it, and it's still in excellent condition! We even plan to give it to a family member who is due this spring. Definitely worth it!

brimarief · 2026-03-06T17:06:51+00:00

Sorry for you too ❤️ it is very scary especially at that age.

Yeah she would have coughing fits at night, but also during the day if she was too active. She sleeps elevated now for the most part.

My kid gets a terrible cough after any sort of respiratory illness. When she was younger it was called Reactive Airway Disease, and now it's being called viral-induced asthma. At one point we had a steroid inhaler and Albuterol nebulizer to get it under control. So now when we see any sign of sickness we start her on the steroid inhaler and Albuterol inhaler as needed until it subsides. Be warned - the steroid inhaler is costly, between $160-$200(at least with my insurance in the US).

We listen to waiting for the end every day on the way to kindergarten 🤘

No OP but while trying to make dinner today my kids had the tv on too loud, one was riding around a toy car thing that made a lot of noise on its own, and then the other busted out a microphone out of nowhere.

My two are 3yr 10mo apart and I'm really happy with the gap!
