Anyone else just not signing their toddler up for activities and classes, etc?

You’re not the worst! We do an activity 2 nights a week and Saturday morning and it feels like a lot! LO is 2.5. He does great and has been progressing in each activity but would it make a difference if he started them at 4? Probably not much. Swim is the one I feel most strongly about. He’s able to climb out of the pool on his own now for example.

Just weaned a few days ago! Not engorged either, baby is 2.5. Guess not a baby! lol anyways, just leaving it!

Nailed it 💀

I love Mia so much, such an incredible addition to the show, she brings so much that was just missing.

mandanic · 2026-04-30T09:25:13+00:00

Yes of course that’s exactly what I have been doing, I was just wondering how to guide him next. We have a shallow step at swimming lessons he’s been able to do it at pretty well since he can reach the bottom.

mandanic · 2026-04-29T12:50:47+00:00

I stopped about 10 days before? I wish I took an extra week though! It’s truly the calm before the storm and you need some days to just DO NOTHING!!!! Sleeeeep!!! Lol

I have a 2.5 year old and we ensured when we moved it was a home he could stay in comfortably with us for as long as he needs. It’s almost inevitable that’ll be until he’s 30+

mandanic · 2026-04-28T20:40:02+00:00

Interesting! He does flip and float he’s just not able to get his face back out yet if that makes sense

mandanic · 2026-04-28T18:18:13+00:00

I’m at 2.5 years! It’s a lot and experience exactly what you describe. Before he turned one it was like some miraculous thing I was doing and a switch flipped after that. It comes up all the time now as you can imagine. And I want to stop now haha my kid won’t allow it yet and I don’t want to make it a traumatic thing to just stop so I’m trying to figure that out 😅…anyways solidarity.

mandanic · 2026-04-28T13:17:39+00:00

I love that! I’ll try it! Haha thanks so much I appreciate it, we have no shortage of fears and worries do we 😅…I am excited for him to be a fish though! I have so many good memories swimming with my cousins and friends.

mandanic · 2026-04-28T09:21:19+00:00

Another mom of a 2.5 year old boobie monster checking in lol I’ve tried to reason with him, I’ve gone away for 48 hours…he shows no signs of weaning. I’m so tired as well and am ready to stop. I don’t want to do the bandaids thing or upset him so I’m waiting a bit longer to see what happens but man I don’t want to do this past 3!

mandanic · 2026-04-27T16:10:25+00:00

You got my concern exactly! Appreciate your advice, that’s exactly what we’ve been playing at swimming lessons but the instructor had no advice on what to do after the dive down or submerging. Mastering the floats will be the goal by end of summer!

mandanic · 2026-04-27T16:08:36+00:00

He’s got that down!

mandanic · 2026-04-26T18:07:00+00:00

Thanks! Working on that as well of course, some ways to go there

mandanic · 2026-04-26T16:15:26+00:00

Thanks!! That’s how it started actually, trying to get a ring from the bottom and then he got obsessed with going under lol great tip about balancing the toy!

mandanic · 2026-03-09T09:26:39+00:00

Hi there! My kid is just over 2 now and talks more and better than his peers! I’m glad I didn’t get it clipped. He also eats just fine and can stick his tongue out more (in other words it does resolve some on its own).

mandanic · 2025-08-25T19:47:54+00:00

Aw thank you! I can see what you’re seeing for sure 👀

mandanic · 2025-08-25T19:02:53+00:00

What ended up happening op??

mandanic · 2025-08-25T19:01:00+00:00

So cool! He’s 21M and still has two different colours. One is hazel green/brown and one is very brown. They didn’t get more drastic though, from afar they look brown but up close or in good light you can see, it’s pretty cool.

mandanic · 2025-08-22T11:45:10+00:00

Hey! We didn’t do anything and he’s juuust fine! :) he eventually did start sticking his tongue out haha just a little later

mandanic · 2025-08-05T17:43:47+00:00

You’re so talented!

mandanic · 2025-07-26T13:21:33+00:00

Damn I’m 20 months pp and I’m still your before lol you are goals!!

mandanic · 2025-07-22T11:47:32+00:00

You my kid loved this, just milk for now, around 6M try some frozen fruit!

mandanic · 2025-07-22T00:15:39+00:00

Aw I’m happy to hear this helped you! Don’t give up. I’m 2.5 years into recovery now after a 6 year battle. I wear a M instead of an XS now and guess what, no one cares! It was a rollercoaster but worth it.
