Both my kids hate hats, so once there’s a chill in the air, they’re always in a hoodie.
Here’s a cute choice from Tucker + Tate. This darling hoodie has a contrasting ruffled hem and fun animal ears. Made from a soft and stretchy cotton/poly blend, this topper will keep your little one warm all the way from fall to early spring.
This hoodie is $39 at Nordstrom and comes in sizes 2–8. It’s available in three fun patterns.

Does anyone else spend time (lunchbreaks) at daycare? Reading yesterday’s discussion about the other daycare dad made me think maybe wonder a little bit about interactions I have with other kids at daycare. I spend an hour in LB’s classroom once or twice a week, so I’ve known the kids for most of their lives. At this point, they are pretty comfortable cuddling on my lap, asking me to put their shoes on, etc. I would never scold aggressively like the post yesterday, but I definitely say things like “no pushing” or “that’s not yours”.
I’m not particularly worried, because it’s A) all good and B) all within the written policies. But I was wondering if that kind of parent interaction is really unusual at other daycares? And would you be upset if your kid were in this class?

Fellow parents that started school this week – we made it to Friday!
This AM DS #1 told me 30 times that “I do not like [Elementary School].”, “I want to go somewhere else”, “There’s too much math and my brain hurts.”
My response – “Okay, I heard you, got it, let’s move on.”
Bedwetting advice question. Our 5yo is again going through a strange stage of bed-wetting, after being fully potty trained since 3. Last time we realized dream-peeing him before bed was making things worse, and once we stopped that it phased out. This time it started when he was sick AND when he was getting nervous about starting kindergarten. Now, he’s completely better, has started KG, and is still wetting the bed. It’s a lot too- soaking under the waterproof mattress cover to the extra pad I got, and several times a week for about two months now. (Weirdly, and thankfully, he did NOT have any accidents on vacation smack in the middle of those two months!). His OT has suggested an ADHD eval for him, which I mention because it appears sometimes there is a correlation with ADHD and bedwetting, per google. We are going to try to really enforce drinking water at dinner and then nothing after that, but it is also hard to stop a 5 yo from drinking anything (as in, he can go get a cup himself and sometimes I don’t notice until he’s chugged it). Any suggestions or tips? (Other than checking for a UTI, which he has no other symptoms for).
Low stakes Friday questions:
1) What’s your favorite frozen pizza?
2) What’s your go-to low-effort food to leave for your kids and babysitter (e.g. minimal prep for the babysitter, but enjoyable by all)?
Ugh, mom solidarity? It’s my first day at new job (not in office til Monday b/c academics don’t ever come to the office) and my kid is home “sick” and I just feel really overwhelmed with life. Teaching starts in a week, and there are all these systems I don’t understand yet (I started prepping classes a few weeks back).
At home, we got a call from school that he had a stomach ache on Wednesday, from aftercare with a headache, and some conversations with friends/triangulation revealed that a playground issue with an aggressive kid last year has resurfaced. I think the tummy/head was a result of stress so gave him a mental health day today. We emailed last night and got a solid reply from the school with their plan, but I hate that my 6-year-old is dealing with this stress at school.
Those of you who have RSUs and/or options you’ve exercised, did you do your own taxes? DH is adamant about not paying anyone to do our taxes, even when we had a nanny and had payroll etc.
I’m sure we could figure it out, but wondering how much of a hassle it is vs just paying someone. I had both RSUs and options this year that I exercised, if that matters.
