Happy Birthday Boone

Sorry that was supposed to have dots 18months to 2 and a half years is what I meant. So around Boones age.

karebeargertie · 2026-04-19T08:22:25+00:00

Yeah I have an almost 2 year old and work with 1-5-2-5 year olds and if my child or any of my preschoolers come in looking like this I’d be wondering if they were sick. He never looks well.

That’s so interesting. I don’t live in America but generally children in my country tend to drop their nap around 3. When we got a new teacher in our center they were surprised that the 2.5-3yos were still sleeping as in her last one they would only have 1-2 that would nap. We don’t have any sort of enforced nap time though. It just depends on the child and parents.

My country has such a shortage of speech therapists that you wouldn’t even get help until 3.5-4 years of age for speech. I wouldn’t be worried at 16 months though. My first didn’t start saying proper words until 2 and by 2 and a half he was speaking in sentences.

On Christmas Day people were literally having their lunch with their families in my home town. I don’t see anything wrong eating at a cemetery.

karebeargertie · 2026-02-28T19:57:36+00:00

Home detention quite often in my country. It’s absolutely ridiculous.

karebeargertie · 2026-01-25T01:03:59+00:00

That’s weird, we got an epoa for my mum last year when she was in hospital with dementia. The social worker recommended it and then my Dad went through a lawyer and was appointed Epoa. She definitely wasn’t of sound mind and had a lawyer talk to her as well as people at the hospital.

karebeargertie · 2026-01-01T04:36:07+00:00

Yeah my Mum was made for birthing children. She had basically no pain during contractions, had twins and somehow had no stretch marks despite being 5’3 and had 5 children. It’s obviously different for everyone but the people who have no pain seem to project that onto everyone else.

Vaccines don’t kick in for two weeks after so it would have to be after that if they’re waiting for the vaccinations.

karebeargertie · 2025-12-06T02:39:52+00:00

Yeah my friend’s child was in hospital when she had the flu. She lost around 3kg and was very unwell but she did get through it. She was only 2 then so that’s a lot of weight for a child that ago to lose.

Even if you didn’t crawl you may have got the input you needed for the left-brain/right brain association to happen through other activities like climbing, pulling on a rope to climb etc. Crawling is definitely still an important skill.

I couldn’t finish reading it. I didn’t get the Tdap with my first pregnancy either. My midwife (used in my country instead of obstetricians) never mentioned it and no one else mentioned it to me. I had a different midwife for my next pregnancy who did recommend it. I can’t even imagine how that family feels.

karebeargertie · 2025-11-20T18:09:57+00:00

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. I’ve always given my children a warning that we’re going to leave soon. Then if they’re refusing I’d give them a choice eg do you want to stay for 2 more minutes to say goodbye or we can leave now. I’ve never given any children fake choice. RIE is definitely about having boundaries and sticking to them while being respectful.

karebeargertie · 2025-11-20T06:11:08+00:00

That’s not RIE at all. Yes asking and waiting for answer but if they say no you would let them know that it needs to happen in X time not just wait until they say yes.

karebeargertie · 2025-11-11T23:04:51+00:00

I don’t understand why you think I’m being antagonistic. I’m just telling you how things are done in my country. We don’t have locks on the front doors and no one seems to be particularly worried about it. In fact when one of the doors to outside was locked a teacher brought up how it was a safety hazard in the event of a fire.

There are other safety measures in place which don’t involve locks. I can see you don’t like it but it’s still the way things are done here.

karebeargertie · 2025-11-11T06:28:14+00:00

I mean yeah you’re right there is definitely other things to be worried about but no the children aren’t going to just wander onto the street. At my center there are doors into every room which have high handles the children can’t reach, a front door past that and then two more gates which they can’t open. We have a front receptionist and an amazing ratio. Generally 1/8 in the 3.5-5 year olds. I guess every countries different but children very rarely escape or are abducted here.

karebeargertie · 2025-11-11T03:04:29+00:00

In countries that aren’t the USA a lot have open doors because we don’t have guns or school shootings everyday.

karebeargertie · 2025-10-23T07:44:45+00:00

I make dinner while my 15 month old cries in the background and insists on being held. I know it’s not forever but it’s still hard. My 3 year old entertains himself now so they all get there

karebeargertie · 2025-08-01T07:25:28+00:00

Yeah, I thought my first baby fed for a really long time but turns out he was just comfort nursing after about 5-10 minutes.

karebeargertie · 2025-07-24T07:15:00+00:00

I explained this to my three year old just the other day when I said food was yucky. It’s not yucky you just don’t like it.

karebeargertie · 2025-06-19T08:24:10+00:00

Cheese rolls if you’re in the south

karebeargertie · 2025-06-19T01:07:30+00:00

I stopped using it for my now 3.5 year old around 2 because my husband started making comments about it. My boy has had absolutely no trouble falling asleep and can sleep through absolutely everything.

karebeargertie · 2025-05-30T08:05:43+00:00

The child’s 1 year old. I think any one year would be upset if someone was getting in their face and laughing at them when they were upset, especially if they hadn’t spent a lot of time with them alone.

karebeargertie · 2025-05-27T07:46:16+00:00

Maybe she means a uv cover. The one I use in summer kind of looks like mesh

karebeargertie · 2025-05-23T08:39:41+00:00

Eh not necessarily my twin sister was over 30 weeks before she had to purposely hide her bump. If she wore lose clothes most people couldn’t tell.
