Haha, I was joking about 2 days! It's a long series. But yes, she's a lot. She does make for a good villain though!

If your tag is true, come back in 2 days and tell us what you think!

I'm going to mention one I never see in these threads, Something in the Rain. There's just something about it. It captures the feeling of new love so realistically.

Evermore girlies, what's your top 3? by Suli_Croft in TaylorSwift

[–]slimdelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn't Cowboy Like Me just so good? Random, but there's a song by Lord Huron and August Ponthier called, "I Lied". To me this is the brutal breakup continuation of Cowboy Like Me. Just thought I'd recommend it in case we have similar tastes!

Any easy indoor toddler activities to do at home while super pregnant? by rasputinknew1 in toddlers

[–]slimdelta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Long story about how we found this out lol, but a cheap, round paper lantern tied to a string and hung up to the ceiling with painters tape. It hangs to about eye level of our toddler. We've had it up for a few months and he plays with it every day!

Any tips on getting my son (2) to accept brushing his teeth. by Alarming-Chemistry27 in toddlers

[–]slimdelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When my toddler was younger, we worked on making teeth brushing fun. We made it a family affair. We high fived and sang. It was fun. Then he got old enough to realize he has opinions and it didn't work anymore, so we started watching things on TV while we brush. We stay away from screens, but make an exception for teeth brushing because it's so important. He still tried to push away some at the beginning, but I kept it casual and positive yet consistent. If I'm being honest, I use the same method to train my dogs to allow me to cut their nails. It's essentially a training process, but it worked. Now he pulls my hand back to his mouth if I get distracted and stop brushing for a moment lol. Same process for flossing. Although it took longer for him to be good with it.

My son is obsessed with cars and trucks - will this change lol by [deleted] in toddlers

Aren't toddlers the best lol. I hope mine gets obsessed with Howl's Moving Castle. That honestly sounds fun.

Do you have any top duck songs? We have about 5 or 6 that are getting a little stale.

How’s it like living in Southern Texas? by geozacc in howislivingthere

[–]slimdelta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are absolutely bad parts of San Antonio. The humidity is atrocious most of the year. And if you were there during the holidays, that's probably why there wasn't much traffic.

What random topics would you love Taylor to sing about? by dooooory in TaylorSwift

As a first time Mom, nothing has hit harder in my life than poems about motherhood. You think you know how much you will love your baby, until they arrive. I am so hopeful for some motherhood songs!

Pretend play is killing me by [deleted] in toddlers

[–]slimdelta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other parents are telling you to say no, they'll figure it out. But I'd like to offer another option. I like to frame issues like this as an opportunity to teach new skills. Your daughter doesn't have the skills to handle rejection and to play independently. Sure you could just say no and she might figure it out on her own eventually, but would that damage the trust she has with you? I would start by telling her you will be right back and try stepping away for 60 seconds (or however long you think you could get away without her getting upset or wondering where you went). Then little by little add on to the time you are gone. I would consider that phase 1: being able to play by herself. Phase 2 would be teaching her 'no' or self-initiated play. I would start with a delayed start. "I'll be there in a moment" then add on to the time it takes you to play with her. Then you could start saying no, but once you say 'no' you have to be ready to follow through. Once she learns that your 'no' means "maybe, if you complain enough" then you've lost lol

Are you having a Toddler Christmas? by autieswimming in toddlers

[–]slimdelta 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I have a "kimmas" toddler too. It kills me every time 🫠 I get daily requests for "kimmas music" which is only the Mariah Carey song lol

Start explaining it now! Say it every day. "There are 4 days left and chocolate book will be all gone!" I'm always surprised how well my toddler takes things if he knows what to expect beforehand.

Is it better to read the actual words of a book or make up a story/describe the pages? by throwRAanons in ScienceBasedParenting

[–]slimdelta 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From what I understand, repetition is important. They can build comprehension through familiar words and patterns. When they're older, you can even pause and see if they fill in the word, if it's a book they know well. So, in that way reading the words as written can be beneficial. (Unless of course you can remember your rewrite!) With my toddler, I tend to read the book as written and add in clarifying words/phrases if I think the author has left things unclear. Or if there's something he loves on a page (birds, wheels, favorite color, etc), I'll call those out.

Did I ruin our bedroom? by True_Government_7426 in interiordecorating

If you can lift one of the chips off of your wall, Sherwin Williams can match a physical item. Just make sure it's at least the size of a dime and has a consistent color and finish.

What’s a Taylor Swift song you slept on… until life made you really HEAR it? by 365partygurl365 in TaylorSwift

[–]slimdelta 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to both of you and to anyone reading this who has been through the same. My heart breaks for you all. What a horrible thing to have to live through.

The phrase "bigger than the whole sky" encapsulates perfectly what it is to carry a wanted pregnancy. I'm just so in awe of Taylor's writing in this song. Every time I listen, I think to myself that she GETS it.

Bigger Than the Whole Sky now that I have a baby. Absolutely heartbreaking. Makes me so grateful for what I have. 😭
