has anyone had a wart frozen off on their kid? How uncomfortable was it/how did it go? My kid has one in a super annoying place and it’s getting to the point where it may need to be removed (think: armpit crease). Our pedi referred her to a derm and told us that would probably be the course of action but that we don’t need to do anything unless it becomes uncomfortable- which it now is.
I have to share something refreshing. I continued easy mountain biking in my first trimester and cycling on a safe paved path off the road until 20 weeks. When I told my dad and my brother that I was pregnant, both assumed that I would still be biking and asked if I wanted to meet up for rides. I’m in my third trimester and my dad just asked about scheduling a postpartum ride once I feel up for it. It is honestly so refreshing to be treated as a human first and to have it be assumed, never questioned, that I’m making safe choices for my baby and that of course I’ll still be interested in my hobbies after birth. Why is that so rare? My husband has been great too, but of course he was more a part of discussions about risks than other family members were. My family isn’t perfect but on this subject, I’m pretty happy and refreshed.
We’ve had two swim classes so far and DS refuses to get in the pool. I was thinking of taking him to the pool on another evening this week to see if he will get in the pool with me. Any other tips to get him over his fear? I won’t force him to get in the pool or anything, if he is not ready then we will wait and try again when he’s a bit older. He’s 4.
Another positive share – my husband is away visiting his dad, and my mom flew in to be an extra set of hands, and it’s been so nice. She’s helped me tackle some neglected house projects, we’ve had great chats, and she’s taught my son to play blackjack with poker chips (justified on the basis it’s good for his math skills).
Another positive update!
I’ve posted before about my kid in speech therapy, as I’ve had a lot of anxiety over it. We just got an update from his therapist – she’s essentially retiring his goals around articulation and sentence production, with now a focus more on conversational basics – e.g. retelling stories, describing things, etc. I’ve already seen him do some of this stuff on his own, so I’m sure he’ll continue to progress with the support of therapy.
He turns 4 in December, so still a nice chunk of time to see where he lands at his birthday. While I still have some concerns about a few other areas, it is great to know that he has benefitted and responded so well to some extra help.
Thanks all for reading, and for supporting this anxious mom.
Can we talk about having a 3rd child? My husband and I had a conversation recently where we realized we were both in a place where we’re open to a 3rd child. He’s really excited about the idea, but now I’m freaking out a bit about whether I can really handle one. (My husband is incredibly resourceful and calm, and I’m sure he can handle another one:-P) Basic facts: twins about to turn 3, my husband and I are a great parenting team, we don’t have major financial constraints, we both currently work but my job has a natural end point in about a year, and, I’m officially old so if we’re going to try this we need to do it soon. I feel like we have enough love for another child, but, I’m not sure I can handle another one, if that makes any sense. Things like – my nerves are already fried sometimes by 2 noisy kids; would adding a 3rd be completely overstimulating? Right now when both kids want to be carried, I hold one and my husband holds one; but, what do we do if we have a 3rd? Would we ever get out of the door again?:-P Is our little happy family unit going to splinter into one parent with the big kids and one with the little? For those of you who have made the leap, can you share your perspective? Thanks!
Permission to take the easy route for Halloween costumes?
My 4yo has been saying for months he wanted to be Rocky from paw patrol. Found a couple cute diy versions I was planning to try.
Asked him again this weekend before we buy supplies and now he says he wants to be a ghost. I should just do the ole white sheet poncho and black fabric for eyes and a mouth and call it a day right? No need to do some fancy “big boy” version.
I’ve done some googling and found a few tutorials but if anyone has other ideas, let me know.
