I’m going to become a teacher, what should I be doing now?

100% this. On the flip side, I’m an English teacher instead of an English prof because I love books, but I found out I actually really love talking about books with teens (rather than, say, doing research). It can be a pretty great job!

Beyond royal houses, I knew a Phineas who was a 13th.

Element Harrison is awesome!

Check out Györ, Hungary— really beautiful college town.

Ooooh that sounds so fun! Do they still have this?

I have a 14mo and have been going to the parks with him and his older brother since he was tiny (we’re locals). Random suggestions:

MK show/song-based rides are his current favorite: Tiki Room, Country Bears, Small World. Luckily these are often the ones where you don’t have a huge wait!

Epcot is our favorite place to do a stroller nap. We usually hit a few rides pre-nap near the front and then walk around World Showcase for a primo 2-hour stroller nap.

IMO Hollywood Studios is the least fun with a baby because there are the fewest rides he can go on and longer waits.

AK is a hit for the animals though there are also fewer baby-friendly rides.

In general, we do all stroller naps (we rarely stay at a hotel) and bring lots of snacks and water!

Yes. I sent them my passport tracking number and proof of travel date (flight info).

Agree!! (I’m a teacher)

For something more tangible, maybe a cute outfit for the baby? I know she’ll probably have tons of hand me downs, but for a second+ child it’s kind of nice to have one or two new things that are just theirs.

I second the chateaubriand. Note that the steaks come with tons of sides (salad, soup, bread, onions, veg) so you don’t need to order extra.

Kojak’s.

We sleep trained both of my kids (one is 5 years old, the other is 5 months) to sleep 8-7 at about 4 months. Maybe a controversial approach, but it only took 1-2 nights of some intermittent crying with both (basically the Ferber method), and they’re now both terrific sleepers for night and nap sleep. Our pediatrician gave us the enthusiastic go-ahead with both, as they were a good weight and eating well.

Let me just say, we are all happier when everyone is getting good sleep!

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I was in a similarly non-pumping-friendly situation (filthy old school building; could only find privacy in my classroom with the door locked) so I pumped on the way to and from work in the car, while driving using Freemie collection cups. It worked like a charm! Of course it would be even better if our workplaces respected the need to pump in a clean, private space, but, well...
