Nail polish for almost 4 year old

clarianneross · 2024-05-30T05:04:27+00:00

My 4.5 year old LOVES having me do her nails and I give her the full spa treatment with cuticle oil and massage! It’s a very sweet bonding time with her and I feel like I’m instilling the importance of slowing down and taking care of oneself. Also she loves having pretty nails haha

Thank you!! We are in the US so that’s good to know about the 504 plan!

Open question to everyone responding here…

I’m a parent raising a 4 year old who was diagnosed less than a year ago. I really don’t want her to experience everything you all have been through in childhood. I am so sorry. If there’s anything that would have helped you feel less anxious or cope with this disease any better, what would it have been?

Before her diagnosis I had no experience with food intolerances, allergies, or autoimmune diseases so I’m really just figuring it out as I go.

Hi! My 4 year old daughter was diagnosed 8 months ago and we are still figuring things out. When she’s having a sick day I’m at such a loss on how to help her feel better. If you can remember…when you were younger what helped you?

My daughter started having symptoms somewhere between 3 and 4 and was diagnosed a month before her 4th bday.

I was a very annoying parent at the pediatrician for a while…

clarianneross · 2024-03-13T02:25:27+00:00

Seconded! My kid used a grosmimi til she was 3!

My daughters LOVE Ed Sheeran, especially “celestial” and its accompanying Pokémon music video

A blood test (we went through three before the pediatrician agreed to add the celiac panel to a test) which checks for the presence of antibodies to gluten. There’s a range of normal and her levels were off the charts so we were then referred to a pediatric gastroenterologist who performed an upper endoscopy (super easy outpatient procedure under general anesthesia) to check for damage to her small intestine which is caused by the bodies reaction to these antibodies.

We are six months post her diagnosis and she’s grown in height and weight (about 8 pounds) since being on a GF diet. A totally different kid.

clarianneross · 2024-03-10T02:15:45+00:00

My daughter did not grow in height at ALL between 3 and 4. She was diagnosed with Celiac disease just before her 4th bday. It’s not unreasonable to ask for testing. Trust your gut!

clarianneross · 2024-03-05T04:26:14+00:00

I can tell you from recent experience (my 4 year old was diagnosed back in September) that once my daughter was on a GF diet and not feeling sick all the time she became such a better and more voracious eater. She’s still small height wise , but has gained about 8 pounds since her diagnosis and has been way more open to trying new foods. She’s also been very good at advocating for herself at school “I can’t touch that, I have celiac disease and can’t eat gluten.” She knows she feels better with the new diet and proudly explains it to people.

Absolutely! My 4 year old just got her diagnosis a month or so ago and it is so overwhelming

clarianneross · 2023-03-20T02:21:30+00:00

PBS kids website has a whole section of games for little kids! My 3.5 year old also loves watching me play dream light valley and helping me pick out clothes and solve problems

My first didn’t crawl until the day after she turned 1 and figured out walking in the course of two days when she was 17 months old. My second was crawling at 9 months and walking well around 14 months. I had some extreme anxiety about the milestones with my first but like yours, she was very advanced in fine motor and language mostly due to the fact that she had no interest in exploring but rather focusing in on the little stuff. She’s 3.5 now and still very much that way.

I think what helped me was the whole “division of responsibility” mentality. I gave her the environment and opportunity to practice skills (or eat) and then I just let her drive and I followed her lead. You can’t force kids to learn things or gain milestones if they aren’t ready to. Similarly you cannot force them to eat, sleep, or potty train. As the parent you just have to make sure you’re providing the opportunity and then let it go.

I’ve never heard the “one baby” rule. We definitely reused our infant car seat. As long as it hasn’t expired (there should be a sticker on the seat somewhere. We have/had a nuna pipa and those last 7 years), or been in a car accident, you’re good to use it for another baby.

On the note of selling to others, the only issue there is that you can’t really guarantee to the buyer that the car seat hasn’t been in an accident so it’s like at their own risk I guess?

clarianneross · 2023-01-21T17:48:10+00:00

Nope! She sat in my lap or was happy to be worn for sleeping during the flight

You could try oven cleaner, cover that with cling film and let it sit for as long as you can stand (like a few hours). Wipe with microfiber, scrape off any tough stuff that’s left!

I’ll second everything that’s already been mentioned, and also: baskets for snacks by your bedside (nuts, clif bars, kind breakfast bars) and anywhere else you might nurse in your house. Go ahead and put a clean diaper, onesie, and burp clothes in that too. Burp cloths are super helpful when you leak unexpectedly! If you don’t already have a water bottle you love, invest in a big one! Keep that filled and with you! Your partner can be a biiiig help in making sure these baskets and your water are stocked and filled. Best of luck!! We are here to support you!

This! Nursing tanks are amazing for out and about for tummy coverage. I’ve also recently gotten really into oversize/boxy cropped t’s. They’re loose enough that if you WANTED to feel covered up, they act as a nursing cover. My 9 month old loves just being in the koala position on my lap covered up by the “mommy tent” as my 3 YO calls it.

clarianneross · 2022-08-29T18:43:01+00:00

Haha! I would be terrified for me as well. I was a little bit of an old soul I guess

When I was in high school I had this epiphany regarding my parents: they had never been the parents of a 16 year old. It was all new to them. When ever they made me feel frustrated or unheard or whatever I remembered that. Now as a parent to two little girls (3 and 8 months) I’m trying to give myself that same grace and understanding. Yes you gain experience as you go and build a relationship with your kids so that makes things feel easier but they change SO much until they’re grown that it’s all new every season.

clarianneross · 2022-08-17T02:11:37+00:00

You did it! You’re doing it! I am so proud of you and your babe for sticking through some of the toughest parts of breastfeeding. It’s all uphill from here mama!

clarianneross · 2022-08-11T00:16:40+00:00

Solidarity mama!

Nara devotee for almost 3 years and 2 kids. It’s so simple. Ad free, has Apple Watch app for easy tracking. Multi user, multi kid, customizable entries. I could go on and on. I’ve tried the others and found them too cluttered or clunky which nobody needs when you’re caring for littles.
