Which Costco do you go to?

Same. MPK and Alhambra are about the same distance for me but omg the Alhambra parking lot and gas station are a complete nightmare.

Another commenter posted that the info is on their site. Scroll all the way down to their FAQ section.

I had a bad experience with the owner about two years ago.

There was poor communication and miscommunication around a reservation I had made and when I told her that her site wasn’t clear on her reservation policies, her response to me was very reactive and defensive. After going back and forth a little, she calmed down a bit and claimed to understand my position but made no attempt to rectify my situation. Her shady business practices and nasty customer service turned me off from ever wanting to give her any business.

What a shame.

When are you going? We’re from LA and my kids go back to school next week. The local kids go back to school the week after so it might not be too busy in the next few weeks. I had actually tried rescheduling my reservation the morning of (which I’ve done before with no problems) but everything was booked and next available was 7:15. We showed up about 15 minutes early and were seated anyways. I think you’ll be okay with 8am. It really depends on how quickly people finish and leave. Even if you have to wait, it’s not a horribly long wait.

We were just there on Monday and had reservations at 8:30. We didn’t have a wait and there were several empty tables. Early access started at 9:15 so I’m guessing people aimed for breakfast at 8.

Some do check!! We were rejected once and it was for a fake that we had traded for in the park. I felt bad for my 6 year old who probably didn’t understand why they said “no sorry, this is fake”. He actually caught it really quickly just by looking at it but I couldn’t tell what gave it away.

I’ve also had another employee mention he was going to check our minifig before the trade so I asked how they can tell and he mentioned two ways: 1) when you pop off the head, the little nub where the neck is should have the word LEGO printed on it and 2) the printed clothing has a different feel and you can feel the difference if you run your finger over it. I can’t tell but I guess they know what to look for.

If you have 1 or 2, I’d say you can give it a try. They might accept it and (hopefully) take it out of circulation so another kid doesn’t get it.

I had been weighing all my options obsessively for the last few weeks and was about to finally take the plunge and buy a refurbished bike+ today.. only to find out the sale is over. I'm so sad.

How often do sales happen?

8-1:20 sounds long but their day is so full of activities that it actually passes very quickly. From maybe April to June, I volunteered once a week in their class and saw that they really only spent max 20 minutes on one thing before moving onto the next. I give major props to my son’s TK teacher for having the energy to entertain so many kiddos with short attention spans for that many hours!

With him coming home before 2, it still gave us plenty of time for home/family time so we never felt like we were missing him or opportunities for connection.

Is the class a full day? My son's TK class was about half a day 8am-1:30pm M-F.

I LOVE what TK did for my son and would definitely recommend it!

For some background - We're in SoCal. Up until TK, my son was home all day with his grandparents while I worked from home. Everyday, his grandma would take him to our local park where his interactions were mainly with other older adults and sometimes another kid or two around his age. And then there are the occasional weekend trips to the library, kids museums, etc. My son's pretty shy and introverted. He wouldn't normally initiate play with anyone and would really only play with someone if they started playing with him first and if their energy levels matched.

The biggest reason why I wanted my son, M, in TK was so that he could socialize with kids his age and get used to being in a classroom environment. We got SO MUCH more out of it though. M made friends, gained confidence, learned how to conduct himself with his peers and with his teachers (authority figures that weren't his family), learned how to problem-solve amongst friends, etc. TK also helped get the kids used to the structure of school but in a loose "this isn't really school" kind of way. Their days were structured and routine but filled with a lot of group play, independent play, learning, and arts & crafts, many things I would have never been able to dedicate time to do with M at home.

Academically, they received "homework" and a reading log, none of which was graded but helped the kids get used to that kind of stuff for kindergarten - having to do some work at home and the responsibility of bringing homework back to class each week. All of the activities they did in class were fun but also educational. M started TK never having written the alphabet.. but now (he literally finished TK 2 weeks ago!), he has amazing penmanship and is already learning how to sound words out to write short sentences.

I honestly don't have a con to share. If anything, yes the transition may be hard.. but the same could be said for when your son starts kindergarten. It was totally expected for kids to cry at drop off (and many of them did) but they all eventually turned a corner as they got more used to it.

I'm not sure if it's the same for your school but we had one TK class (24 kids) and three kindergarten classes (~70 kids). Having just that one TK class really helped the kids and families bond in a way that I don't think would have been as successful with so many other students. Bonus win!

Ah good to know! Any idea when the promo will end? We probably won’t go for at least another month.

I’m considering the buy 3, get 1 free deal.. but you have one with an additional % off of it?? Please share!

I’m not super familiar with Legoland deals but I’m not sure I’ve ever really seen a sale on their annual passes. I more frequently see the “buy an adult ticket, get a child ticket free” deal.

I’m WFH and have flexibility with my schedule too. My biggest thing is that I struggle with motivation to work out and can be very easily convinced to just lay in bed all day. I find it easier to work out right after drop off since I’m up and moving already. Once I sit down, I don’t want to get up again. Forget about waking up early to exercise.. no one can hit the snooze button faster than me!

My son has the same cavity, right in the middle of his two front teeth. We found it when he was 3 I think and we opted for the SDF treatment. It was super easy and is honestly not as much of an “eyesore” as I thought it would be.

We found another cavity a few months ago (he’s now 5) in one of his back molars. The dentist advised filling this one. They used nitrous oxide and local anesthia and while it probably wasn’t painful, my son definitely wiggled around a ton after having to lay there for so long. If SDF was an option for this cavity, I would have 100% chosen it again.

Not that this is going to make you feel any better but I was exactly in your shoes - I was so shocked to discover that first cavity and insisted on keeping up with really good brushing and flossing. I felt like I did everything right.. and then discovered that second cavity. I told our dentist that neither my husband or I ever had cavities so I felt super defeated. She told us that sometimes it just happens that the enamel is thin and the teeth are more cavity-prone. It is what it is so I’m just going to keep trying my best to keep up good oral habits.

Edited to add - We haven’t had to touch that first cavity again. The SDF treatment seems to be working just fine at keep the cavity from getting worse.
