Family Friday: Frog Rain Boot

My youngest picked out these rain boots for me to feature, so this rec is from my four-year-old to yours!
These cute frog rain boots have a 7″ shaft to keep little feet dry, a flexible sole for puddle jumping, and handles for an easy on. Just rinse them off and wipe clean. And, since May flowers follow April showers, they work for gardening too!
Western Chief’s rain boots are available at Nordstrom for $35. They come in sizes 5 (toddler) to 4 (big kid). If your kids aren’t into frogs, consider these other options including glitter, unicorns, and 4-wheelers.

Anyone have recommendations for a specific Disney World planner? We’re looking to book our second family trip for the fall. The one I used last time didn’t do much beyond book my hotel, which I can do myself. Looking for someone who’s willing to help on dining reservations, etc. Thanks!
Has anyone used a bedwetting alarm with an older child? (DD is 12). Curious as to any recommendations on brand or model of alarm and how the training experience went?
Favorite books on authoritative parenting? Open to a range of exact styles but want to avoid anything pointlessly strict or excessively “gentle.”
My kids (toddler, preschooler) are in daycare full time; we’ve never had a nanny or full time babysitter. We’re moving this spring and I want to hire a summer nanny/sitter to cover the gap until they start full time school/daycare in Sept.
I already have a few leads (came from references/other moms in the area) and am interviewing candidates over the next few days. All the candidates are teachers who are off for the summer. What questions do you ask? How do I secure them for the summer – do you pay them first week salary to ensure they don’t take another position? Do you pay off the books in this scenario?
This is new to me – thanks for any advice!
