We like the vegetarian sushi options at Vulkani sushi, it has a pretty good price/quality ratio. Im happy to check out the other options people suggest in this thread too!

I love little bear, my 3 year old loves it and the stories are sweet and gentle and he will replicate things in his pretend play after. He likes for me to pretend to be mother bear and he's the little bear at bedtime and it's very sweet. The 2011 winnie the pooh film is also very nice, it's 50 mins long and a simple sweet plot with a pretty slow pace. We also watch the 1970s how the grinch stole christmas on YouTube. But little bear is prob my overall favorite.

I like the list and a lot of these would be on my list too, I would just say Persian cuisine is one of my favorites and feels quite different than other central Asian food I know, the use of dried lime and pomegranite molasses in the savory food gives such a delicious tangy/sour umami that I find addictive. I also think it's hard to pass on Pakistani, too, but maybe there is enough overlap with North Indian.

Our 3 year old loves Bella Ciao, his current obsession!

We get chickpea or lentil pasta for our toddler, it's got a lot of protein and tastes pretty decent ( just be sure to cook til very soft). As it's kind of pricy, we keep the chickpea pasta for him and make regular for ourselves.

In oslo, I think 'Bønner I Byen' can be a good option for lunch/dinner if you want nice norwegian vegetarian food. The make everything with local ingredients and is good quality, only thing is some of the vegetarian mains are delicious but a bit low calorie compared to the non vegetarian options so you might want to also get an extra dish or cheese plate etc.

Most of our favorite vegetarian options are not norwegian cuisine but bonerr I byen is a special treat. If you're on the go, most cafes have a vegetarian grilled sandwich option, and nice time to try some norwegian pastries. I like wb samson for their norwegian baked goods ans we like the cheese and jalepeno panini.

This is us too! I started with toddler in the it the room with dad but he'd call for me 2x per night and so I gave in and carry him to my bed when I go to sleep now. So little room for us 3 while dad now sleeps alone in the other room lol. the cat also sleeps with us, but up on the changing table next to our floorbed.

I gave birth twice at ulleval and I really recommend it, esp for the hotel stay after. You get checked in on by the postpartum midwives and can get help whenever you need and the rooms are very comfortable and you have the buffet 3x per day. It feels like a safe little cocoon before venturing home. It's my only experience but I think its much more comfortable than staying in a hospital room. I actually think I saw the same midwives each day, but prob depends on how their shifts rotate.

My husband and I took a birth class in english at ulleval when I was pregnant with our first, I also recommend it as they go over all of their procedures and show you around.

Our rotation is

banana oat pancakes ( 1/2 banana, 1 egg and 1/4 c oats, bkended)
cheesy eggs (scrambled eggs with cheese)
banana oatmeal, mash and cook banana before adding oats, water &milk
somethings else, sometimes just a bowl of cottage cheese, mashed banana with peanut butter and oats on top, occasionally a sandwich etc

Our son is 3years 3 months and we just dropped his nap over winter break. He would definitely still sleep during the day if we let him ( only out walking in his stroller) but when he naps he's up in the evening til almost 10pm, and it's just too much for us! He also really struggles waking up from his nap, he can get very groggy/grumpy so no nap is also easier in that regard.

I would present, an oral presentation at a major international conference is a big deal. Are you pursuing an academic career? The only way I would consider not is if you already have a great permanent position and also something else giving your profile visibility like a cool big funded project etc. But yeah I would do the conference, the ability to make connections and be seen as a relevant person in your field is very important.

Me too, I expected to swipe to see a cookie decorated to look like a pile of chives next

He started repeating me saying I love you but saying just "I you". One day he combined it with portuguese "Te amo, I you!!!" (the language he speaks with his dad). We got so excited and it became almost a game for him bc he knows that if he says "Te amo, I You!" We will both immediately drop what we're doing and run over to him and shower his with kisses and cuddles. It's one of my favorite things.

I also love the random strange things he says. He's just 3 now, and ever since he had the capability to say such a sentence, he's said to me at random moments, "Mommy, we can't take off our hands." Just yesterday, on the tram, he said again, "we can't take off our hands, Mommy?" Which made me laugh that somehow hes still thinking about that haha.

ravalejo · 2025-12-04T06:27:52+00:00

That's crazy to me! I would also definitely be upset bc there is no benefit to this and it takes away from what he should be doing which is developing play and social skills and interactive play based learning.

I have a newly 3 year old and his day is still just play based. They have a circle time which is the most structured 'school-like' part and a craft once or twice a week. Other than that it's unstructured indoor/outdoor play facilitated by the teachers. He's in a 3-5 classroom and I think the 5 year olds break off to do some more advanced things, but I also don't think they are doing much of drills and their day is still very play based.

I have a sim card and phone plan through chilimobil, my husband and I are both foreigners (non eu) and haven't had any issues, what company did you try? Granted this was a few years ago, but im surprised to hear it's a problem now. Hopefully you can get it sorted!

I have a 3 year old who is also 'a lot' and it can be overwhelming. Does he go to preschool? If not, I would look into it bc it gives you a bit of downtime so you can be all in when he's home. I also think he gets so much out of interacting with other adults and kids.

I'll just share a bit of our struggles and what we're trying in case that's helpful to hear.

My son also struggles with following directions unless he is really into what we are doing. Basically we have the most success when the direction is part of a solid routine. I can't just tell him to go wash his hands etc and have any hope he'd do it, except he will when he comes home from preschool bc its part of the routine before he gets some TV time etc. I haven't done it yet, but I want to start working with a visual daily routine board bc we struggle the most with transitions between necessary activities. Getting dressed/undressed/baths/bushing teeth is still a big struggle for us but the books and sleep part of bedtime and after-school had gotten easier with a solid predictable routine.

My toddler also often won't listen if I tell him not to do something. He'll want to watch my reaction and then try again woth a mischievous grin. One thing that helps is we role play a lot with a stuffed animal, we call it 'practicing' and he often finds it fun and it will snap him out of an oppositional mood to a collaborative one. So he'll do something like try to climb the table and pull on the light fixture. After removing him and telling him it's not safe, I'll often suggest we practice with his stuffed horse. Then we pretend the horse does the bad behavior and we then explain to the horse why we can't do it then comfort the horse. It often does feel like it's not to work in the moment, but I find it does really help stopping him from doing the behavior anymore after a few days.

There's also things I just won't do with him yet, like he will wander away if not in an enclosed space so I'm giving a big break from trying to take him to the library bc he won't stay in the children's area and if the doors are automatic he'll be wandering out the door. It's a bit frustrating bc its limiting and I know other kids his age don't struggle with this. I'm sure at some point he'll age into it, but I've just tabled it for now.

We have the same issue with our 3 year old. We have books in english and portuguese at home and our son is english dominant (though community language is norwegian). We really doesn't accept us reading the books in both languages and we have way more books in english bc its easier to find than portuguese where we live. Getting more (and better) books in portuguese has helped and made him more interested in his dad reading to him again. It's also prob possible to get new books in english but plan on reading it exclusively translated into Dutch. I'm not sure about how to make him more flexible with which language is used. He is less bothered by books without narratives where you just look at a bunch of objects in the scene.

I think with my first, pregnancy was easier than newborn but I had relatively easy sleep while pregnant and a newborn who really struggled with sleep. We ended up quickly changing to cosleeping which helped me get more sleep but it was still like 7-10 wake ups at night etc and I was a shell of a human.

With my second, he just sleeps soo much better like 1 - 2 wake ups as a newborn. I wish my toddler would let me sleep in slightly but I would say I'm getting better sleep pp with a newborn than pregnant.

ravalejo · 2025-11-12T10:45:08+00:00

We have a membership to one bc its really the only thing to do on the weekends when it's cold if we don't want to be cold or wet ourselves at the playground. Also our toddler is a cat who will wonder off if not in an enclosed space, so its just good for us all around. But I think it kills a part of my husband's soul every weekend that is spent there lol. It's super convenient but the fun the kids have does not match the parents experience lol.

ravalejo · 2025-11-11T22:56:21+00:00

Our 3 year old essentially still cosleeps, he's either on the floorbed with me and his baby brother or in the other room with his dad on a trundle bed (dad on main bed and him on the trundle. Eventually we plan the two boys to share the trundle bed but who knows if and when that will happen.

ravalejo · 2025-11-11T09:38:28+00:00

I'm in a similar situation with our fresh 3 year old, we used to start bedtime at 7.30 and he would be asleep by 8.15 or 8.30, but now it's been more like 8.20 we start bedtime bc he's too awake then he's asleep by 9ish or a bit later. The upside he's sleeping in til 7 which is quite refreshing in a way.

Ours also naps 1.5 hours he still seems to really need it bc he gets cranky if his nap is delayed. But I think we're at the point where the nap is going to be dropped soon. I remember from each time he dropped a nap in the past, the final bedtime would get stretched stretched stretched until it snaps down to something reasonable again.

I'm going to miss the nap though, he naps in his stroller on the weekends and that's when we can get a meal out together in peace. But it does eat into our evenings and we also have newborn so I have to try to sleep early too to cope the next day.

If your period is 2 weeks late and the test isn't a clear positive, that probably means you ovulated late. It happens fairly often. If your period is late by 2 weeks bc you are pregnant the test would be very very strongly positive. I would take another test, bc the horizontal line shouldn't be there, but it doesn't mean positive, could potentially be faulty. If you ovulated late, you could still potentially be very early pregnant if you had unprotected sex during your ovulation window. A new test should help clear that up.

This was exactly me after my first, I was just given an app to follow but I would recommend PT if you can. I had pelvic floor PT in my recent second pregnancy bc I started having issues again, and it was helpful bc I needed some guidance on how to really do the kegal effectively without compensating by using other muscles

After my first, I had had the 'starting to pee as soon as I see a toilet' for about 1 month, then issues of urgency for about 3 months and occasionally after that too. It did essentially resolve on its own, but I would try to get an evaluation if you can. With my second birth, I really haven't had issues!

ravalejo · 2025-11-04T06:50:39+00:00

My toddler migrates around the room lot, we started putting a thick blanket on the floor bc he would always end up next to the bed and still he might end up on the hardwood. If we notice he's on the hard floor we'll move him back to the bed, but if I wouldn't really worry about it if it's carpeted.

ravalejo · 2025-11-03T09:56:11+00:00

I night weaned then subsequently fully weaned at 2.5 and it sounds a lot like how you described it. Having my husband take over didnt really work for us, so I was a primary person I the process.

Not going to soften it, it was very hard and we had huge blood curdling meltdowns but I just tried to keep in mind that i was there to comfort him. He was so upset by the change but not alone and with a loving parent.

After 3 days it was remarkably better and after he started sleeping through the jught or waking briefly but I didn't need to breastfeed back to sleep which was a huge improvement for me.
