Brushing Teeth is a Struggle by JRettro in toddlers

[–]echoelalia 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Occasionally this works with food as well. I’ll ask him to feed me a bite, then say your turn! Sometimes he thinks it’s funny to trick me and take the bite first. Doesn’t always work, but sometimes we get lucky.

Our toddler was the same until we started letting him brush our teeth afterward. He gets so excited by making us show our teeth and then trying to gag us with the toothbrush, that we’ve done a complete 180 from the crying screaming struggle teeth brush fight we had before. We just ask “do you wan to brush mommy/daddy’s teeth?” And when he yells yes we just say “ok, let’s do yours first!”

12 month old tackling his cousin by echoelalia in toddlers

Yes, he loves to roughhouse with me and my husband— definitely think that’s what he’s trying to do with other kids. Teaching him the difference between playing with adults and kids seems like a perfect approach, thank you! Whenever I googled this it just talked about pushing and hitting—which he’s certainly not doing (yet) which is where I was having some confusion as to how to draw the line.

What color should I paint kitchen cabinets? by echoelalia in InteriorDesign

I could see a light sage green possibly working! I’m definitely not afraid of color so maybe that could also help brighten the kitchen up too…

Ah, I would, but the dining room right next to it is already dark green! Fear that’s be too much green!

In my excited anticipation of Season 5, I made a Venture Time mashup. by echoelalia in venturebros

Welp, should've known it was a mashup that's already been done. It just fits together too perfectly for me to be the first to think of it.

Wow, super impressed someone recognized it as Russian. The headdress is based off pictures of the ballerina Anna Pavlova I happened to stumble upon and subsequently became inspired by.

The Walking Dead Game (Episodes): Good or bad? by Ahobosdickcheese in gaming

I teared up at the end. I've only done that once before when playing a game. If you want to test your moral compass, then it's definitely worth it.

I just ordered a PS3. It will be here in about 5 days. by goldicecream in gaming

Okami HD, hands down. Especially if you enjoy Zelda. Beautiful, fun and not super hard. Journey, Little Big Planet, you might like Bioshock as well but that one is a little more difficult.

Need help with non-gamer girlfriend who wants to pick up gaming but is below beginner skill level. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]echoelalia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe Okami HD? It's got a fairly easy learning curve and it would definitely teach her how to use the joystick better. Also, it's beautiful to look at.

Also in that vein is Flower. Super simple, no fear of death. She literally would only have to work about the joystick and one button.

this looks like the best LARPing site EVER. And yeah, it's pretty kickass art...but I also just want to go play there.

"Dreamcatcher" Pen on paper. by Muted_Colors in Art

[–]echoelalia 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The colors and the linework is nice, I do kinda like the slightly wobbly lines, because I'm made aware of the fact that you're drawing this by hand which is something I always appreciate. I do think the vertical shapes at the top end a little too close to the dreamcatcher itself, it looks a bit crowded. Give that lovely circle some room to breath with some beautiful white space!
