My 3-year old has always had a typical ability to pronounce things – hard for some people to understand, easy for us as parents to understand, and daycare seems to understand just fine. However, I’ve noticed that recently he is getting more difficult to understand. My husband thinks he’s just attempting to pronounce more complicated words. Maybe it’s possible that he’s just learning bad whining habits from older sibling/other kids. But I’m wondering – is it possible for something like a speech issue to present itself as a child gets older, even if it wasn’t present at age 2? I am not going to do anything drastic, but I’d like to keep an eye on it if it could become something.
How do you make your weekends feel replenishing? I have an intense job that leaves me depleted but find it hard to really recharge over the weekend. Kids are 7 and 11, and we spend about half of Saturday at youth sports (willingly! Soccer season will only last for a few more weeks) and then fit in chores, etc. This feels like a first world perennial problem, but curious what little things you do to have a reasonably fun weekend, either with your kids or without.
We currently live downtown (Midwest city) and want to move to a suburbs before my daughter starts kindergarten next year. Ideally we want to stay in our next house for the next 20+ years. Fantastic houses are rare. About 1-2 per year over the past few years. We’d be able to make a very competitive offer and the market isn’t that big so we’d probably be able to get one if it came on the market. There are plenty of houses that are varying degrees of fine, but not places we’ll want to live for 20 years.
My husband wants to just hold out for our forever home and start kindergarten in the downtown school district if needed. I lean more towards waiting until spring, but then buying a “fine” home in district if we need to and then re-assessing in 3-5 years. Downtown public schools are a lottery system and vary greatly in quality from bad to fine/good-ish. We’d need to start making choices, maybe going on tours, thinking about private school this fall before the lottery in Jan.
What do you guys think? Would you move your kid (either mid-school year or in between school years)?
I’m desperate for any advice here. We potty trained my now 3.5 yr old in February. Peeing went fine. #2 has been significantly more difficult, which I know is normal, but I’m afraid DS has gone beyond that now. He has always had a tendency to withhold , but now it’s extreme. Last week and this week he went five days without going, but every day would come home from preschool with stains in his underwear (like he’s trying to hold it in, but can’t hold 100%). He’s in pre-K 3 at an elementary school, so they don’t have a lot of patience for this like a daycare would, which is adding to my stress of the situation. We have had him on miralax for 6 months on advice of the pediatrician, we make him sit every morning after breakfast, we’ve tried books, songs, m&ms when he goes in the toilet… basically anything I’ve heard helps I’ve tried. Nothing is working. Any advice on strategies I may not have thought of? Do I just need to wait this out until he gets older and it will resolve itself ?
We are baptizing my one year old son in a more “casual” church. Most people wear jeans to the Sunday service. Any cute outfit suggestions? Not necessarily looking for the traditional baptism gown!
