I really like this ring from David Yurman. I think the cable design he’s known for is recognizable without being overly flashy, and I like how it’s incorporated into the band of the ring. I also like the pave diamond oval shape. Nordstrom is selling the same ring with a quatrefoil, heart, and starburst shape, but I think the oval is the one to stand the test of time. Since it’s pricier than I would usually spend on myself as an impulse buy, I can see treating myself to this ring if I were to get a raise or bonus, or as a memento of a work or personal milestone I’d like to remember. Even so, when I first saw this ring, I was surprised at its relative affordability because of the pave diamonds and that it’s a “brand name” jewelry designer. You can treat yourself to this pretty ring for $295. ‘Cable Collectibles’ Oval Ring with Diamonds Here’s an option from Etsy that’s more affordable.

bigger kids in pullups says
I have a daughter in third grade who is still in a pullup at night. I wake her before I go to bed and get her up again in the morning (otherwise, we’ve had overflow issues; she sleeps through it all and is not really awake when I wake her both times). I know it’s nothing but waiting for me — we’ve tried everything else.
This is largely something on my husband’s side of the family (affecting both genders).
From my family, I am probably giving her the gift of early periods (like around when you turn 11).
I really don’t know what we’ll do if she’s still wearing a pullup by then (her half-sibling grew out of it around then, but there is an aunt I’m not sure about and I understand that she doesn’t want to discuss it). Ugh. Not sure I have a question here — maybe it is has this happened to any of you?
I’m sure if she doesn’t get dry at night then she’ll have her first period when I’m on travel for work.
AIMS says
Wouldn’t the pull up take care of the period? A friend with a younger kid used to actually add a long maxi pad to her 3 y.o.’s overnight diapers to deal with overflow, so you could prob do the same too.
Anonymous says
OP here.
I guess it would deal with the liquids, but the hygiene mess / smell of that would probably knock your socks off in the morning. Uncharted waters anyway (and I hope we don’t get there).
Anonymous says
Some people like Depends for postpartum bleeding, and Depends are just adult pull-ups, so I don’t know why kid-sized pull-ups couldn’t serve the same function.
If she’s in third grade now, you are at least two or three years away from the dual-protection concern. That’s a long time.
Anonymous says
From a girl who got her first period at the end of 3rd grade… don’t be too sure about that. I think it’s good you’re starting to think of this now if she’s starting to show early signs of puberty.
anon says
I don’t see how this is meaningfully different from wearing a maxi pad overnight? I bled for a month following my ectopic pregnancy and wasn’t allowed to use tampons, so this was me every night for weeks. It was fine.
Anonymous says
Yeah this. Pull ups are actually very effective for vaginal bleeding. Most of my friends wore Depends after giving birth.
Anonymous says
I can’t speak to the pull-up, but my first cycle was right when I turned 11 and my parents were out of town. I hated the pads and begged my mom to let me move to tampons for cycle 2 which she did. Everyone survived. Your daughter will too.

I got my daughter paint and pumpkins this weekend, and for the last three nights she has been spending an hour painting by herself (first on the pumpkins, now just using paper). She is 5 and never spends much time playing by herself, so it has been glorious.
Any other craft or toy recommendations that keep kids entertained? Life is crazy right now so I am looking for ideas once she gets sick of the paint.
EB0220 says
My kids are pretty easily entertained but they can amuse themselves with crayons, paper, tape and ribbon for hours. They also like playing with beads and buttons (sorting, “cooking” etc) and matchbox cars. They are 4 and 6.
In House Lobbyist says
We go through so many art supplies. My 5 year old loves tape, glue, pipe cleaners, stickers, construction paper – really anything. Maybe you could start with easy theme crafts? Do you have a Dollar Tree nearby? They always have in season crafts that I stock up on and my kids go crazy with art supplies there. Hobby Lobby/Michaels have good crafts too but will cost more. My daughter is more about quantity than quality. I also find the coloring posters and scratch off papers to be a big hit. And pretty notebooks – my daughter will draw and write for hours in her themed notebooks.
Katarina says
Legos or puzzles for non-art options. My 5 year old will also play a board game by himself.
Anonymous says
my 6 year old has been enjoying pipe cleaners and a paper airplane book lately. Also some simple origami and pop ups/paper crafts.
Anonymous says
My 5 y/o (just turned 5, still a preschooler) is queen of playing alone. She will do legos for a solid hour, coming by only if she needs me to pry them apart. She will do beads (stringing kind, fuse beads, aqua beads), listen to books on CD, do puzzles, “make art” (washi tape, scissors, construction paper and markers and she’s good. Yesterday she made “a computer”. Sometimes she fashions wallets, doll clothes…).
I have a 2 y/o that’s just started to get into solo play. She’ll play barbies alone for 15 minutes at least and only bothers me when she needs help with the clothes.
Spirograph says
We have a kitchen drawer full of coloring, activity and sticker books, water based paint palettes + small paintbrushes, and crayons. The kids help themselves and can put it all away when they’re done. It’s great for while we make dinner, since it keeps them quiet, entertained and out of the way, byu close enough they can talk to us if they want to. My daughter would happily paint for hours if we let her.

just have to vent. my four month old twins slept the best last night that they’ve ever slept- each for 12 hours, with only some brief chatting around 2am. i wasn’t feeling well and decided to drink some tea before bed…well i drank caffeinated tea and was up literally ALL night. i specifically got into bed early and really needed the extra sleep to combat my cold and fever. heading to urgent care after work to make sure it isn’t anything more serious, but today is going to be a fun day. and of course i’m sure my kids won’t sleep that well again tonight.

That’s the worst! Sending all the internet hugs.
We used ‘the no cry sleep solution’ by pantley and it has a couple chapters about sleep for moms at the end. So hard when our bodies get trained to be awake at night and then baby starts sleeping but our bodies are conditioned to be awake.
Post kids I’ve had to cut off caffeine of any kind at 4pm. I sorely miss my after dinner coffee because decaf is just not the same.
BPS says
Internet hugs and love from here. Hoping they are going to sleep that well again for you!
Sarabeth says
It’s a special kind of torture not to be able to sleep when you really, really need to. But it has happened to me with both kids. I’ve given up all caffeine (RIP coffee, I miss you so much), and my partner and I take turns sleeping with earplugs. It makes a huge difference to me not to have the anxiety about being woken up. At that age, we split the night and each got earplugs half the night.
AwayEmily says
That’s the woooooooooorst, I’m so sorry. Hope their long sleep is a sign of many more to come! Can you turn your white noise machine on high tonight, task your partner with bottles, and go to bed early?

More Sleep Would Be Nice p2 says
DS has been up around 5-5:45 on-and-off for the last month, tired and cranky. Thanks to some of the tips here, we’ve moved bedtime to be strictly between 7-7:15. Been diligent on his 2 naps and their timing, and asked daycare to do so, too. Good nights, he’ll sleep until 6:30 or 7 AM and wake up happy and refreshed.
Still nursing him (he turns 1 next month), but other than that can’t bring him into our bed to snuggle and sleep more because he’s an active, wiggly one. This morning he fell asleep again while nursing, something that is not common for him.
I’m at my wit’s end trying to tweak. DH suggested it could be some type of regression, or even teething. Getting worried it’s only going to get worst with daylight savings time and weaning…any suggestions welcome.
Annie says
Black out shades?
OP says
Thought about this – but now with the season, it’s dark until 7 AM or so.
AwayEmily says
He may just be an early riser. For your own sanity, consider an ok to wake clock. My daughter was and still is a natural early riser, so we trained her with the OK to wake clock so now even if she wakes up early she knows we won’t come get her until the clock turns green (she goes to bed at 7:30 and it’s currently set to turn green at 6:40). She now often will wake up briefly at 5:15 or so and then falls back asleep when she sees her clock hasn’t turned green yet. sometimes she doesn’t fall back asleep but she is quiet and rests there. We started with the clock when she was around 5 months — she’s now 2.5.
OP says
Ordering now – thank you. It has been suggested here before and I was trying to avoid one more “thing”, but I think he is a naturally early riser so this cannot hurt. Can you share how you introduced it, please? :)
anon says
I’m not AwayEmily, but here is how we introduced the OK to Wake clock:
-Set the clock for 10-15 min after current wake time. Make a big deal about it at bedtime. “Here is your big kid clock. I will see you in the morning when the clock turns green. Night night!”
-The next morning, go in at exactly the time you set the clock for. “Good morning! The clock turned green. That’s how we know it’s time to wake up.” The reason I suggest setting it for just a short interval after current wake time is you may have crying until they get it.
-Once kiddo has gotten the concept and is no longer crying between current wake time and ok to wake time, you can start shifting the wake time back to your desired time. Once we mastered step 2, I got greedy and tried to fast forward straight to desired time. I know people who have done that successfully, but it backfired for us. It was just too long for them to wait, and they hadn’t yet trained themselves to go back to sleep if they wake up and it isn’t green yet. So now I recommend slowly shifting the clock time in 15 min intervals every couple of days.
That sounds like a lot of work when I write it all out, but it was less work than waking at 5:45 every day, and now it works like a charm. Plus, we no longer have to go in the moment the clock turns green. They know what it means and that we’ll be coming to get them, so they will play happily for a bit, which buys a little extra time. :)
AwayEmily says
This is exactly the process that we did (incremental change). And note that even though the clock is marketed as a toddler thing, my experience (and that of my friends who’ve used it) is that even fairly little babies learn the association between “green” and “parents coming in” relatively quickly. My daughter figured it out when she was less than a year old, as did several other babies I know.
Anon says
I’m pretty sure my 6 month old gets the connection – when it turns green and the birds come on, we will be in shortly. Otherwise, go back to sleep.
Doodles says
How does this clock work if you want to teach your baby to sleep in on weekends? Or does it work? My 5 month old wakes up between 6:30 and 7:30 every day. That’s fine for weekdays but I would love to sleep in on weekends.
Anonymous says
There’s basically no sleeping in when you are a parent unless you and your partner swap off getting up in the morning. That’s what DH and I do – I get up on Saturday, he gets up on Sunday.
Anonymous says
So I’ve always heard this, but my toddlers do sleep in on the weekends. Weekdays we have to wake them up at 6:45 to go to daycare, but on weekends they’ll easily sleep until 8:00 or later. It sometimes makes me wonder how much we’re screwing them up by forcing them to get up early during the week, since I know weekend sleeping in is atypical toddler behavior.
Anonymous says
If they’re sleeping in on weekends, it means they’re sleep-deprived. They need an earlier bedtime. Sleep needs vary widely so you can’t judge based on how many hours they sleep. But a later wake-up on weekends is a sure sign they need more sleep.
Anon says
Eh, I push wakeup with the clock 15-30 minutes on weekends but I don’t think kiddo’s internal clock will allow for much more than that
lawsuited says
My LO has gone to bed at 7pm and woken at 6/6:30am since he was about 6 mos. He’s 18 mos now. He goes through periods where he wakes early at 5:00/5:30am for days or (less commonly) weeks at a time. Over the months I’ve tried a lot of things: extra soothers in his crib, extra lovey, racing in with a soother at the first peep, going in to tell him it’s still sleep time a la interval training, not going in at all, overnight diapers, doubled up overnight diapers, blackout shades, white noise machine, dehumidifier, warmer pajamas, cooler pajamas, and on and on. None of it has had any effect that I can discern, and it just stops at some point and he goes back to waking up at 6/6:30am after a while. I have a hypothesis that it’s caused by teething or developmental milestones, but the cure is just waiting it out.
You may be a better parent than me, but when he’s going through a phase like that, I turn off the baby monitor so his babbling doesn’t wake me up (loud crying would still wake me up because I can hear it from the hall).
Pogo says
+1 to all of this. However, I will say my LO’s early wake ups rarely amount to more than babbling or mild whining. I’m not sure if this is because we did sleep train, but he definitely doesn’t cry first thing when he wakes up. If I wake up to a noise from him, I check the time and if it’s too early, I put an earplug in and go back to sleep.
He has the Peaceful Panda, a lovey and his Wubbanub in his crib with him. He likes to push the buttons on the panda and will entertain himself with that in the mornings. He has attempted to gain early parental intervention by chucking the lovey and Wubbanub out of the crib, but we stopped responding to that and he has mostly stopped – now if they’re out of the crib, I can tell it’s by accident because of where they are (not 3 ft away lol).
Sometimes I tell daycare that he was up early, so she knows he’ll be extra ready for a morning nap, but half the time I forget.
OP says
I love this earplug no-nonsense approach because I’ve been thinking about this. Eh, we sleep trained and our kid still wakes up crying often. Sometimes he wakes up happy. Sleep is such a freaking moving target.
OP says
This is my life, although LO often wakes up with fussy babbling that turns into crying. We pick up from daycare at 5:15-5:30, dinner no later than 6, and he is in bed by 7 PM. I cannot put him down earlier, I already leave work early to make it to pick up. I wouldn’t mind if he babbled but the crying…ugh. Makes it hard to go back to sleep. :)
Katarina says
I found that dropping to one nap and weaning helped consolidate sleep and led to sleeping later.
Did moving bedtime earlier help, hurt, or have no effect on the waking time?
Anonymous says

We did a 7:30pm bedtime with one long nap (12:30pm-3:oopm at one year. Didn’t wean but kid would often fall back asleep after nursing upon waking in the morning, DH got up with him if he didn’t.

At what age did you start trusting leaving your baby in childcare? I have the hardest time leaving baby in church, gym childcare. Wondering if I will ever get over it.
Anonymous says
Well my kid went to daycare at 3 months. But I didn’t feel comfortable with drop-in daycares where we didn’t know the caregivers and they weren’t as credentialed until she was maybe 3, although I don’t think we actually used one until she was 5 (little use for it, except on vacation) Before 3 she had too much separation anxiety and I also wasn’t very comfortable with it before she had the language skills to tell me if something inappropriate was happening.

Around age 3 as well for drop in childcare. I want my kid to be able to tell me about it if they are uncomfortable with something or someone hurt them.
CPA Lady says
Daycare – 12 weeks
Gym – never, because I’m a lazy slob who can’t be bothered to go to the gym
Church – 7 or 8 ish months?– around the time she was very mobile. My church attendance was fairly sporadic at that point though. Now she’s so obsessed with the church nursery that she begs to go to church so she can hang out with her little buddies.
What exactly are you concerned about?
Spirograph says
I am a stereotype.
First kid: nanny at 5 months.
Second kid: gym at 3 months, daycare at 4 months
Third kid: church nursery by 1 month. The nursery ladies Looooved having a tiny baby that would just sleep on them the whole time. And i loved having an hour without the baby!
govtattymom says
I started leaving our daughter at the church nursery when she was about 6 months old. Our church is pretty small, so I know the other families that attend, the caregivers (we hire teachers from local daycares), and the coordinator. There are almost as many caregivers as kids, and I know that the kids are never left alone with one caregiver. All about comfort level and knowledge about how the nursery works, I guess. I look forward to church as the weekend’s “adult time.” Also, my daughter adores church- I’ve actually threatened to take it away if she misbehaves- which now that I’m writing this I realize is not very Christian, lol. Guess I won’t do that again.
Sarabeth says
We have an amazing daycare at our gym. I was comfortable leaving both of my kids there at 8 weeks – the workers looooved babies and would snuggle them the whole time. While I was on maternity, I’d go sometimes just to drop the baby off a drink a cup of coffee in the lobby.
Otherwise, nanny at 5 months, daycare at 1 year. Nanny was more to manage the logistics of breastfeeding than because I didn’t trust daycare. I work from home 3 days/week, so having a nanny meant I didn’t have to pump on those days, which was amazing.
Spirograph says
Lucky! My gym won’t accept babies under 3 months. I remember wanting to leave them there on maternity leave, but it wasn’t allowed.

I don’t attend church or have a gym with childcare (sob), but I started using drop-in daycare (Bright Horizons) around 14 months.
I wanted to use gym childcare at 12 months while visiting in laws, but spouse wasn’t comfortable.
Pogo says
If I had references, I wouldn’t have a problem at any age. Technically the first time I used any kind of drop in was 9 months, at a wedding. The babysitter was the former nanny of one of the bridesmaids, and she watched the kids at the bridesmaid’s house. I can’t say I wasn’t nervous, but the reference of the bridesmaid (who was a family friend, not known specifically to me but someone that our family trusts) was what got me over it. Obviously if this was her nanny, she’s great. And it was totally fine.
A lot of other moms in town use the drop in care at our local indoor playspace and have positive experiences, so if needed I would consider that.
I use the gym at work so my daycare doubles as my gymcare :)
Mrs. Jones says
10.5 weeks when I went back to work.

Ranging from 6 weeks to 4 months for day care (which was a Bright Horizons, which meant I was also comfortable with drop ins at Bright Horizons starting around 6 months). I took DD to BH at 6 weeks, but she was the third so we were super familiar with the teachers and the place by then.
Non-familiar dropoffs – around 5. I was a little protective, plus my older two had food allergies which made me nervous.

Has anyone ever successfully introduced the OK to Wake clock for a preschooler? I’m wondering if it’ll help us – right now kiddo reliably comes up to our bed (basically in my face as my side of the bed is the one that’s open – HI MOM! mom I’m hungry!) shortly before 6am. I would really like him to either sleep in or at least play on his own and wait till 6.30 to wake us up, because we’re also dealing with 1-2 baby wakeups in the middle of the night. I suppose if nothing else the OK to Wake clock can be used for baby sister down the road.

Yes, we started our son with it at 3 when he moved to a bed from a crib.rough couple days if physically taking him back to his room repeatedly, then it worked miraculously well. He naturally wakes between 6:15-7 and we have it set to 7. Only comes out if he needs to poop st 6:30, which is not an uncommon thing for him.

Guys, i Have a 17 month old that will not sleep consistently through the night. We’ve sleep trained since 5 months, she knows how to sleep through the night and does a lot, but every month or so, will have a week where she wakes up 2-4x nightly. She wants me to hold her and then when I put her back in the crib, cries for 10 minutes. It goes on and then stops randomly and then starts again and it is beyond infuriating and challenging. My husband and I take turns, but her shrieking still wakes both of us. I feel despair that this will never end and just hate hate the nights so much.
Any and all commiseration / advice is greatly appreciated.
Anonymous says
Around that age, things that helped us were:
– baby wearing – put kid on my back in the ergo as soon as I got home and stayed up there while making dinner. extra physical contact seemed to stave off requests for middle of the night snuggles
– advil when necessary for teething – two year old molars are no joke
– saline spray before bed or during nighttime wake ups to deal with stuffy noses
– ear plugs – DH and I take turns with nights on and nights off – whoever is off will usually wear ear plugs.

Depending on her size, seriously consider a weighted blanket. My daughter went through a stretch of really bad sleep at around 2 years or so. She would fall asleep fine, but then wake up 2-6x per night. We were like zombies. Getting a weighted blanket was a game changer. There are weight requirements for a kid though, so make sure she fits that criteria.

Any advice for transitioning away from bottles? My daughter has been drinking out of the 360 cups since she was 6 months old, but we just now transitioned her for milk to these cups and it’s a disaster (she’s 18 months). I think she’s long past due for moving away from the bottle, but I just want her to have her milk and not throw a huge tantrum.
Do i just stick with milk in 360 cups or is there a better inbetween option?

When moving away for bottles for milk, we found it worked best to introduce a new specific sippy for milk. Straw sippies worked best.

We purchased one from SensaCalm. It looks like they might be having a sale right now. Check out their site for recommended sizing (google sensacalm and “weight guide”).

We have gotten several off of etsy. Jutsice gifts is the maker. We have the 4-5 pound option, 35X40 inches. The first one is from a year ago and it has stood up to daily use by a 2 to 3 year old! We have one for home, one for school, and a back up for cleaning. I think there is an option to completely customize your blanket, but I think we have always gotten a premade one.

Along those lines– has anyone purchased a weighted blanket for themselves that they liked? I like the idea of one, but there are so many options.
