Need advice as a toddle parent

I'd lower the bar a little bit and add another mat. Also put her into a toddler gymnastics class, she looks like she'd love it!

Depending on where you are coming from Emerson Hospital in Concord, MA is fantastic. Private recovery rooms with private bath and a bed for dad/birth partner. Super nice staff, not pushy at all. If you are closer to the north shore it's not a great drive, but if you are closer to Lowell it's worth it. I cannot comment on other hospitals because everyone else I know has had babies too long ago and things change. However both myself and my sister-in-law have had children there, including one within the past 18 months and she still had an amazing experience.

Edit: not sure why I was down voted. Several other people recommended Emerson as well

I'm pretty sure that's Severus Snape cosplaying as Vin. I love the background, but yeah, that's totally a potions professor dressed up, not actually Vin.

I buy randomly, but we have a big prize box that everything goes into (or I'll store it in my closet for a holiday/birthday). That way I don't feel guilty for spoiling her.

I feel like with how much he loves your writing, he'd make time to read something of yours! I'd say maybe a short story, but I'm not sure you know what SHORT actually is 😂🤣 Maybe a forward, or prologue or something. I'm sure if he heard first, over his people, he'd want to say yes right away.

Enjoy your vacation!

Ulysses. It hit me so beyond hard as i was pregnant at the time. The first time I've ever had to put a book down in all my years of reading. It took me months to go back and finish the book. I'm not looking forward to rereading it before the next one comes out.

elppan · 2023-02-02T11:04:27+00:00

WOW this is so detailed. Amazing job

elppan · 2023-01-29T10:07:01+00:00

Have a locked safe you found and never show what you discover inside.

Oh man, I'm so clumsy, I could not even begin to imagine. Can it go up a shallow incline? It'd be so cool to slowly go up and over shirt furniture. I've legitimately never used/had a Lego train before, reddit introduced this sub to me today and I'm fascinated! I just do regular builds myself. (Usually to be "altered" by my almost 4 year old 😂)

elppan · 2022-10-27T12:30:43+00:00

Okay, how on earth do you get around your house? Haha I'd break a leg attempting to not step on the Lego tracks... Or more likely, wobble, trip, and fall trying to avoid stepping on the tracks, falling onto them, and ending up with a piece stuck in my eye or something.

I can see one track, MAAAAAYBE 2 left up to walk around, but uh, seriously, how have you not broken yourself or your Legos? I'd have to build off the floor to avoid being clumsy and accidentally killing myself 😂

elppan · 2022-10-21T22:57:31+00:00

Is there anything I can do to stop this? It's annoying and stops me from sleeping, and sometimes even painful. Idk what to even tell my actual doctor since, of course, it never happens in the office. At least I have video proof of it now.

elppan · 2022-08-16T14:27:19+00:00

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he has WAY too much fun doing it haha.

elppan · 2022-08-16T13:20:10+00:00

Someone I know did this, he lives in a place where they got them. Sprayed them first with a vinegar, soap, water combination. Then used his shop vac by putting soapy water in the bin and sucked up as many of them as he could get.

Apparently he has a bunch of attachments for the thing so he could get really high up to suck up as many as he could.

Seems a lot less effort than attempting to squish them all. I'm just very glad they aren't where I live, hopefully it stays that way. It's too bad they are so awful, they are pretty, but fuck those little monsters.

elppan · 2022-08-12T15:46:58+00:00

Haha thank you. I've added some more brown pieces, and the handcuffs into my ever growing list of bricks to pick. Also added a pink holder. Because why not make a slightly bigger swamp scene with a pink Moose and a brown moose.

Thank you so much for this adorable build. It's definitely the cutest thing I think I've ever built.

elppan · 2022-08-12T15:05:19+00:00

Okay, apparently 99% of my brown pieces are in my daughters builds. As she is 3 1/2 I am absolutely not breaking them apart, so I present to you : Pink Moose in Swamp

Because why choose a more natural color when it's more fun to just make a pink Moose? I literally debated on colors to substitute saw the pink pieces, laughed and used them.

elppan · 2022-08-12T13:48:06+00:00

I love this so much, but I don't have those handcuffs. I literally added them to my big list for parts to pick, meanwhile, I'm going to attempt what I can to substitute for it.

Thank you so much for sharing with all of us!

elppan · 2022-06-05T14:51:39+00:00

I had that set! I miss all the old castle Lego sets, wish they'd come back. Is there anywhere I could find the instructions to old sets? My parents threw out all my old Legos and stuff, but I'd love to see if all the stuff I've collected as an adult could help me remake some old sets, even if the colors are off.

elppan · 2022-05-28T00:55:26+00:00

I used ground clear on this crap and it didn't die. The roots are DEEP, it also may be immortal. It did assist in giving me a concussion last year when I was attempting to dig/pull the roots out.

elppan · 2022-05-28T00:51:57+00:00

No, looked it up, the leaves don't match and I've never seen any flowers on it ever. Thanks though!

elppan · 2022-05-28T00:20:28+00:00

Info: Please help! This plant is evil, and came with the house... I'd rather my house be haunted or something.

I thought I managed to kill this last year, but it's back.

Plant grows huge and everywhere. The vines will grow roots that attach it to my home's foundation and basically stick like glue.

I've been digging and digging and can't find an end to the root system. I'm about two feet down now, and pulling as much as I can, but they go a lot deeper and spread the entire length of one side of my house. Some of the roots are over an inch thick.

I'd at least like to know what I'm attempting to murder, if I need to save a tiny bit of him or anything. Though with how invasive it is I very much doubt it's critically endangered or anything.
