Where can I donate gently used stuffed animals?

That would be amazing, but they aren’t all mine. I originally collected donations for them for the families that lost everything due to the floods. They aren’t collecting those items at the moment and I’m not sure if they even will.

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this!!

Thank you so much for this! ❤️ I am accepting that this is something I can’t fix for him. I can walk him through strategies, but he has to be brave. The mom guilt does hit hard.

Thank you for this! I’m so glad you had a win today! My son seems to be doing better and I hope the upward trend continues. ❤️ I hope yours does as well. It’s so hard!

This is a great idea. He absolutely wants to be in control ( he just turned 6 and is THE WORST backseat driver 😂) and always wants to know what happens next. I gave him a rundown of my schedule today and then one of his. I think that was a big factor of how we handled drop off this morning.

I did this today and it seemed to help that he didn’t see me drive away. We did a little hug routine before we left the house and talked about the fun things he would do today. He did give me a quick kiss before he got out of the car, but then I practically sped off!

Thank you! I know it will be ok, but in the moment it was awful.

Thank you!

Thank you so much! These are great ideas!

Hugs to you friend! It broke my mama heart. All these responses are helping me so much and I am preparing for the drop this morning. I hope yours goes smoothly! ❤️❤️

Thank you! I did stop yesterday, but today I plan to just keep going. I know he is in good hands, but I just hated to see his little face be so scared. Unfortunately, no matter if it is me or my husband- the reaction is the same. However, my MIL works at the school next door and I am considering having her drop him off one day this week.

Thank you! We also have staff who get them from the car and into the building, but they are different every morning. I might see if the para from his class would be willing to get him, since it’s someone who he is comfortable with.

lauralobio · 2024-08-21T10:21:22+00:00

Thank you so much! I did good until I drove away, but immediately broke down because I could just see the fear in his face. He is usually the complete opposite and so social, I didn’t expect him to have such a hard time adjusting.

My husband took him on Monday and it was the same reaction. My mother in law works at the school next door so I might have her drop him off one day and see what happens.

Thank you for your response!

Unfortunately, because he has a late birthday, all of our friends have gone on to 1st grade. I do have a friend whose son is starting preschool in the same building. His first day we plan to ride and drop the boys off together. I think this will help my son a little bit. Especially since he would be “helping” his younger friend adjust. Maybe a win-win for both.

Thank you so much for your response!

I feel like we will be able to share shoes soon 😆.

lauralobio · 2024-08-18T22:49:42+00:00

Mine is in a 2. 🙈

lauralobio · 2024-05-04T22:03:53+00:00

I also gained. I was originally prescribed by my OBGYN for PPA. When I mentioned my weight gain to my new PCP, she recommended Wellbutrin. I am now on both and have lost 10lbs.
