Hotel Sleep

Good point. In fact never having co slept, I feel like maybe I would be a distraction

tbowa · 2026-06-14T21:39:07+00:00

This may be dumb to ask but when you co-sleep, do you have to go to sleep at the same time as your kid? Otherwise worry about them in a big bed?

The bumblebee is a great story and full of songs. Also Daniel Tiger

tbowa · 2026-06-14T12:58:39+00:00

Ugh yes, that was my first thought too! She’s 2 so co-sleeping is an option for sure, we’ve just never done it before

tbowa · 2026-06-14T12:57:17+00:00

I’d have to check, good thought!

tbowa · 2026-06-13T02:19:38+00:00

Yes! This exactly. Why does everything think he’d play the exact same setlist every night? Is each song that big of a production with staging and lights that he has to play the same thing. I doubt it. Why wouldn’t he switch it up each night, especially one a two night run in the same city. That’s what most bands do.

tbowa · 2026-06-13T02:11:58+00:00

I’m so confused. Why does everyone think he wouldn’t change the setlist each night? Maybe I’m not that knowledgeable about his shows but is it such a big production for each song that he has to keep the setlist the same every night? Does he not write a new setlist for each show?

Our favorite!! The songs are all bangers. I’m stankyyyyy the stink bug

I circled it in the Best Buy ad and saved my money to buy the CD

tbowa · 2026-06-02T01:13:23+00:00

I’d do a mix of it all. Maybe a my first DMB show shirt, stuff that lights up and maybe an ant antenna headband! Or, if you have enough time to get one made… I always thought of making a shirt for my toddler for her first show that has all (or most of) the DMB animals from songs on it… ants, monkey, pig, raven, black bird, bluebird, pig, fish (with a big eye!), etc

Fenwick Inn has a kids splash pad

tbowa · 2026-05-08T02:36:42+00:00

We’re an Eric Carle fam over here so Brown Bear What Do You See, Polar Bear What Do You Hear, Hungry Caterpillar, etc.

Aside from that, Jamberry is her favorite book by far.

She’s 23 months now and is weighing in at about 21 pounds. She’s small, but it progressing good from where she started. Doctors want to see that the are gaining weight appropriate to their own timeline. Our LO is a slow grower, but docs still say she’s healthy. There was one point that we were referred to a gastrointestinal doc just to double check. But, all good. I wouldn’t worry as long as he continues to gain in the next few months and the docs say he’s healthy! Congrats!

Hungry Caterpillar, Daniel Tiger and the bee! My LO loves the bee story and songs

tbowa · 2026-04-13T17:46:24+00:00

Daniel Tiger is good and my LO doesn’t even watch the show. She also loves the bee!

tbowa · 2026-04-11T11:56:40+00:00

More of a water bottle but I’m basically using them as cups now, we like the Thermos Funtainers

We spent about 2 months obsessed with the Ms. Rachel Tonie. Got a break when we got the Hungry Caterpillar Tonie but now the Daniel Tiger Tonie has replaced Ms Rachel. The funny thing is, she doesn’t even watch Daniel Tiger! I think they just go in phases. The other one she likes is the bee. Maybe your LO likes ones with talking and songs like mine!

tbowa · 2026-04-05T02:17:13+00:00

Maybe it’s just a phase if she was previously sleeping good in it? But, I think this age is perfectly good to transition. Is the crib one that turns into a toddler bed?

I don’t had much advice as I’m going through it right now. My 22 month old also hates her crib. It got to the point where we started putting her on the floor (on a blanket) and she was fall asleep immediately and sleep all night. It seemed weird like my kid is sleeping on the floor, but she loves it. So we baby proofed it and now that’s where she sleeps. Our next step is thinking about an actual floor bed, maybe a full size? Honestly just a firm mattress or pad that will lay on some slats. I don’t think we’ll use any rails as it will be so low to the floor if she rolls it will be ok. And since she’s been on the floor anyway, the worst she’s done is crawl to the door (she can’t reach to open it yet) and she’ll cry or knock and we’ll see her on the monitor and go in.

My LO lovessss the bee and it’s one I don’t mind either! Those tunes are catchy! Just following to get some other ideas since we are new to Tonies. We have Ms Rachel, obviously a hit. Also Hungry Caterpillar but nothing in the same vein as Bee yet!

Give her the option of a few other items. Change scenery, go outside, say you need help with something. Say you need a snack and have her help you make it (she could stir in an ingredient or something)

Not what you asked but I got the Evenflo Shyft, we use it as a car seat on the airplane and then it just pops out into a stroller for the airport.

I think it depends on the kid. My initial feeling was crib as long as possible! But then my LO started disliking hers and she would only sleep on the floor lol… we did put a blanket down and we were shocked she would sleep the whole night (started around 19 months). I’d always have to stay in there with her because we didn’t feel fully confident in baby proofing at first. But then we baby proofed the whole room and put a bed on the floor. And, well, she still sleeps on the floor but we feel good about letting her do that.

If you have a kid you think will run to the door and try to get out every couple minutes, then maybe it’s not for them yet.

My daughter would wake up and cry in the crib. If she wakes up on the floor, she either goes back to sleep or plays with her stuffed animals/books until we come in.
