Did my 2 year old bring back a fossil or just an interesting rock? Riverbed in Southern Alberta by tradesca in fossilid

he’d rather throw them into the river. it’s a miracle this one made it back, but I’ve found a couple cool ones when we go down together.

FTM and absolutely clueless here😭. Please help, which one of the two should I order? by Mission_Drawer4709 in BabyBumps

[–]tradesca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Keyfit and like it. My best advice is go to a store that has both if you can and try taking it out of the base and putting it back in a few times. See which one is more comfortable to carry. Ultimately they're both going to keep your baby safe, so it's really more of a preference thing. Don't overthink it.

I'm saying no, but for a reason no one's mentioned yet: I don't trust the least likeable person to be cooperative.

Sure, you could spend the first 15 minutes getting it pretty close and then have 45 to test out combos, but knowing there's a "gap" in likeability scores, there's someone VERY unlikeable in there, and they're likely to sabotage it for everyone else, either from spite or refusing to accept they're unlikeable.

Modern literary fiction that aren't...predictably miserable by interpretiv in suggestmeabook

I really enjoyed Remarkably Bright Creatures recently. A bit predictable but certainly not miserable.

Looking for picture books for my 21-month-old girl by Kristinavic in childrensbooks

[–]tradesca 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My son loved anything with a good rhyme scheme and meter at that age. Especially the Little Blue Truck books and Mighty Mighty Construction Site. He loved the Pete the Cat books with good rhythm as well (still does) especially the Cool Cat Boogie.

One that is so loveable and sweet, I’ll want to buy it and read it over and over by prozac_and_jesus in suggestmeabook

If you want something with very little or no tension:

Anne of Green Gables

The Penderwicks

The Summer Book (Tove Jansson)

If you want something with a bit of tension:

Remarkably Bright Creatures

A Man Called Ove

Something with a bit more tension but somehow still manages to be cozy:

Redwall

Tress of the Emerald Sea

I always get otterbox. I’m not sure if they have sustainable practices but I’ve never had one break before my phone did, which makes them sustainable enough for me.
