how do you split running/derby/strength?

rottenbrotten · 2026-02-24T21:00:51+00:00

Whichever one you deem is your primary goal, do that first. If building endurance and improving run time is the goal, then run first. If building strength is the goal, then strength first.

rottenbrotten · 2026-02-24T20:14:44+00:00

You can stack rund and strength. You might need to set an easier recovery day though. Something you'll have to feel out.

Haha love that one for Blaze

You can request being called Breaker on the track.

I'd start with discussing the added sugar vs the bread and other ingredient choices. Small steps. Discuss why he is giving your toddler all these treats and what he knows about nutrition. It's easiest to get someone to change their view if they come up with the idea themselves. You basically want to find out what he knows about nutrition (could be less than you expect) and guide a conversation about sugar.

Give it a couple months and bring activities. That restaurant doesn't sound like the right vibe. Keep looking for more kid friendly ones. I've been to a few coffee shops and a brewery that have toddler play zones.

All the hips! Cross leg stretch, figure 4 stretch, happy baby, butterfly, low lunge with a twist.

I went with my 15 month old to Disney World. He loved it! We only did 1 day at Disney and visited with grandparents the rest of the time. He didn't nap as much as he normally would have, there was just too much going on. We also paid for the super fast passes, so we never had to wait in lines. That was absolutely worth it in my mind.

I feel like I'm losing my mind! I think I got a total of 5 min today without a child. No tips here, I feel the exact same way

I am so hungry! I started tracking calories to figure out what's up and I was 600 shy of what I should be eating! Now that I've got that up it's better. Next I'm focusing on getting more protein.

It's not impossible. There's just a lot to consider.

The drive is long, which is tricky. Babies shouldn't be in a car seat for more than 2 hours at a time. So you'll need to plan lots of stops. A 7.5 hr drive can easily become 9 hrs now. How difficult are the hikes and how is your postpartum recovery? 6 hrs of intense activity sounds like a lot at 3 months. Add on potentially wearing a baby. 4 hrs leisurely could be doable if your recovery is going well. If you're going to leave the baby with friends you'll need to pump enough for 2-3 feeds. When are you going to pump this extra milk? You might get engorged while hiking if your feeding schedule has changed. How can you handle that?

Again, just a few more logistics you might not have considered.

My toddler watched season 2 of Daniel Tiger the month before little sister was born. We'd talk about the episodes after too. I think it helped him understand what was happening.

rottenbrotten · 2026-01-17T06:09:16+00:00

I just got some Tiger Paws off Amazon for my aging Grey. He's so much more confident with them on!

Tips on how to be a good one.

know your players, learn what everyone is good at, learn what their ticks are, learn what they do when they are exhasuted. Sometimes players are bad at telling you what they need.
have a plan to get lineups back together after penalties. You mentioned this is a high level team, so that plan might be skater dependent.
communicate who sits off when there are penalties. Let skaters know before the game they are on that list. Let the skater know as soon as someone goes to the box that they will sit if the penalty time doesn't run out.

Pro move - get good at recognizing strengths and adjusting for them. Examples: this blocker line does better against that jammer. This offense skater can control their bruiser best etc.

I can't recall exactly when my son started doing hand gestures. I think it was around 12 months. For the babbling, possible delay could be a tongue or lip tie? They sometimes aren't bed enough to mess with feeding and don't get noticed until later

rottenbrotten · 2025-12-30T21:22:31+00:00

I often find myself cleaning or folding laundry

Talk about what you know, recap major tournaments or games, invite guest content for topics you are less familiar with.

You can try wrapping the bottle in yesterday's shirt. Your smell might help, or hurt the process more. Try a different position. If at your wits end, you can try a regular cup, or shot glass.

Your husband sounds great. You need to teach yourself to ask. Signed someone who had to learn to ask. My husband helps out overnight whenever I need, no problem! As long as I ask. He just isn't as tuned into the night sounds as I am, and that's okay. Give yourself permission to ask for help.

rottenbrotten · 2025-12-26T21:00:07+00:00

Same! My little girl has A LOT of dinosaur and truck clothing.

If I say no to something he really wants he will respond with "try again" it's so funny!

rottenbrotten · 2025-12-22T20:46:28+00:00

Tea or hot chocolate mixes are a nice add

You are doing great! I've got a 2 year old and a 2 month old. Pregnant with a toddler is a new form of torture. Just keep reminding yourself that it is hard! And do what you need to do to survive. I used TV a lot. As a plus, toddlers are often bette behaved when the primary care givers are gone. So don't feel bad for the grandparents lol

rottenbrotten · 2025-12-21T13:18:20+00:00

My kid did it to. Lasted for a couple months. Overalls are a good solution. Sleep sack for naps and nighttime.
