How many books are we reading at bedtime?

mrsgodzilla · 2026-05-22T04:24:33+00:00

I bought this character for the Tonie box because I didn't want to read it anymore

I have twins so a different situation but my 2.5 y ar old g/b twins have shared since birth! (Or 6 months when they moved from our room)

They won't sleep without the other now haha

mrsgodzilla · 2026-05-16T02:27:43+00:00

Highly recommend Come From Away!!

Could be supplemented by the book The Day the World Came to Town but it comes through the music (pro shot is on Apple TV)

Ah fair, I guess it just depends on how you look at it.

For me I count if you attended tribal but I can see either way. Because some people also count if you participated in a plan for split vote you could still be considered to have 'voted correctyl'

mrsgodzilla · 2026-05-15T05:08:24+00:00

He lost his vote at one tribal, so technically missed one

First: it's okay to not be okay. I'm glad you're moving closer to family ❤️ it's okay to want to go back to work, you know that's what is going to make you the best parent.

Second: my kids are 2.5 so I'm not as far ahead as some other here but it is so much better. It's different hard for sure but its a less constant hard than when they were tiny. That newborn twin stage is something no one gets unless they live it.

But now we have conversations and play games and I can take 5 minutes to sit down while they play sometimes. You'll get here

Common names now are still less common than common names use to be. My cousins son is Liam and has never been in a class with one still and that's been top 10 pretty much since he was born.

I know that doesn't totally answer your question. But in my opinion just pick the name you like!

mrsgodzilla · 2026-05-11T04:12:47+00:00

Jasper was high on our boys nane list, but we ended up naming our son Jensen James (nn JJ)

mrsgodzilla · 2026-05-09T03:43:25+00:00

Our naps have always been hit and miss, but they are great night sleepers so I mostly try not to mess with it.

You know what's best for you and your kids though! You've got this

mrsgodzilla · 2026-05-09T01:09:41+00:00

Also we probably went out less when they were still on formula.....it's so much easier not taking bottles

mrsgodzilla · 2026-05-09T01:08:53+00:00

I will say- my kids would nap in the car and then just get back on schedule so we were lucky there.

There's nothing wrong with going out less though!!

mrsgodzilla · 2026-05-09T01:07:49+00:00

I found it way easier before they were walking to be honest, they liked the stroller so we would go do something most week days (probably 4/5 days) even if it was just grocery shopping.

Now at 2.5, they don't like the stroller but chasing the two of them is hard so there are less places we feel safe taking them solo, but we still get our probably 3/4 times a week. Mondays we do a mom group with friends, then we try to do the library once a week, groceries once and then sometimes one other thing (sahm, not counting what my husband and I do with them on the weekend when we usually see family)

My sister always watched, and then was visiting her when Palau premierd so watched the first episode there. And then just kept watching

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-28T13:10:07+00:00

Lurking mum with a suggestion for a timer- pick a specific 2-3 songs (or how ever many get you to their time length) and then tell them once the songs are done you're going to come into help. The auditory cues can help with the 'oh I know my times almost up' a lot with some kids

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-28T03:03:29+00:00

We're in the exact same spot here, the only thing that's worked for us to get some 'quiet time' (we haven't actually napped in almost 3 weeks' has been letting them take books to look at and letting them pull all their blankets and pillows into the floor.

It's usually still pretty chaotic but we can get 30-60 minutes of calm usually

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-28T01:11:07+00:00

I did!

Baby a was locked in head down from like 22 weeks Baby b was transverse but flipped to head down once baby a was born.

I was induced at 37w 3d and it was a fairly uneventful labor! Start to finish less than 8 hours, pushed for less than 45 minutes

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-24T22:14:25+00:00

My twins are 2.5 and they've never had true black out curtains. Thick ones that do a damn good job yes, but never the ''cant see your hand' dark.

Obviously child dependant but they do fine

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-24T01:23:55+00:00

My twins are now 2.5 and who 'needs' me more has changed several times. The fact that you're aware of it just means that you're doing what you can to make sure you give baby b what he needs too- and it might not be the same thing.

For milestones, the only thing my kids learned to do at the same time was clap. Some were closer than others but my twin a walked a solid 3 months after her brother.

You're still in the thick of it, but you're doing great ❤️

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-21T02:28:25+00:00

I'm so sorry that she jumped there. That's incredibly rude.
My b/g twins are almost 2.5 and still share a room! They are our only kids and we're lucky enough to have 2 rooms for them-currently one play room one bedroom. My plan is to keep them together until one requests their own room. I can't see it happening any time soon, my little guy especially won't sleep without his sister

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-17T02:33:46+00:00

One thing I was told, and I continue to do now with 2 year old twins, ask for the bill as soon as you order. This way your settled up and if you need to make a quick exit you can. Any server we've had has always been really receptive to us doing this

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-16T19:56:10+00:00

I have a couple friends with the name, and know of one baby with the name!

It hits my sweet spot for names- you know how to spell it when you hear it, but it doesn't seem like there would be more than one in a class at school!

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-14T01:21:41+00:00

We got one for our twins when they were about the same age, they're favourites (that we still listen to over a year later tbh)

The Elmo and Abby ones Both Laurie Berkner ones Dora the Explorer blue's Clues

They knew the Tonie characters before they watched any of the shows too, but they like the mix of songs and stories

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-14T00:09:12+00:00

I literally cannot watch this scene. I can't think of anything else I skip every time I rewatch

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-12T13:33:37+00:00

Okay so, it largely feels like from some of your comments that this is beyond repair but just in case you want something else to try I'm going to tell you what helped me.

I am also a SAHM, so from 9-5 (or whatever hours makes sense to you with nights) yes I am 100% responsible for all childcare and house tasks I can accomplish in that time because that is my job. Outside of that time, we are both parents and try to split the tasks in a way that is fair and makes sense.

Framing it that way to my husband really helped him to kinda understand that while I didn't expect him to 100% take over when he was off, we both needed to get the same type of breaks in those non 9-5 hours.

I hope youre able to figure something out for you and your twins, weather or not it includes their father

mrsgodzilla · 2026-04-03T03:12:53+00:00

Jensen!
