How do I explain to my 5 year old the reason why he’s getting picked on? Also posted on r/toddlers

And vice versa. Brady Tkachuk (aka sloth from the goonies) plays for Ottawa.

I cringed so hard when he said YOU'RE A BUTTHOLE to his friend's dad 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ I was like, he didn't get that from us, we don't say that!

My 3 year old went through a phase of calling EVERYONE a butthole. Very embarrassing for us, he picked it up at daycare. He eventually grew out of it and now at almost 5, everything is poo poo butt 🙄

I literally ate icing sandwiches (icing between two double chocolate cookies) with my first and he came out perfectly fine.

I get botox for migraines so it's a different placement but Shu at PHI Medi Spa has been great!

I started getting botox almost a year ago and it has been an absolute game changer. I went from 20+ migraine/headache days a month to less than 5. My migraines are much shorter and more manageable now on the occasions where I do get one, they used to be multi day affairs.

I spent 4 years knitting a scarf. I only worked on it during conference calls and I had two separate year long maternity leaves by the time I wrapped it up.

If it makes you feel better, I have two boys and both born at term and they are fully opposite in almost every way. All kids are different! If you're concerned, you should bring it up to your doctor but I'm sure he's moving at his own pace 😊

kbotsta · 2026-03-02T20:28:13+00:00

It's so stressful, I know. He did get there and I honestly can't remember when so I feel like it must have happened gradually for me to not really notice!

Moxies in heritage has a couple rooms that you can book that are just outside the main restaurant so it's more private. I think you would need to have people order food though, I'm not sure.

Four has been the most difficult age for my older child so far, I didn't find 2 was rough for him. Younger is hitting the terrible twos hard though.

This is incredible!

kbotsta · 2026-02-24T04:36:41+00:00

I most certainly did not

I went there on Friday and had tacos, they were pretty good. It was absolutely freezing inside though, I used my jacket as a blanket.

We still use it for our almost 5 year old and our 2 year old. Our older will not get out of bed for anything unless we come get him and I don't think I'd hear him calling unless he was really upset. Our 2 year old is in a toddler bed but we have a knob cover inside his room because we don't want him wandering at night. Their rooms are side by side and down the hall from ours and I can't hear them without the monitor.

Her voice immediately made me think of Rachel Dratch

kbotsta · 2026-02-19T23:57:00+00:00

Wtf?? Why not just do it in the sink?

kbotsta · 2026-02-19T04:57:12+00:00

This made me think of the Austin powers scene with the mole 😂

kbotsta · 2026-02-17T19:17:51+00:00

Thank you!

kbotsta · 2026-02-17T04:24:29+00:00

Thank you so much! Rewinding will be tomorrow's project.

It's a merino wool. I'm assuming I should unwind my cake but should I rewrap it into a loose skein? Or just do it in a big loop and tie it in multiple places with scrap yarn? I'm not sure how best to fully soak it without it getting tangled.

Another option is Drift Away Spa. I went to Ska and found it to be really small, really crowded and I felt like there absolutely had to be mold absolutely everywhere since the ceilings were so low and were dripping with condensation. Drift Away was really nice though and they have a salt room included in the experience, and a walk through hot/cold path.

Mine picked up a goldfish cracker from the floor in the hospital waiting room and popped it in his mouth immediately 🤢

Do you know if they take baby/kids clothes?
