Family Friday: Boys’ Knit Pull-On Shorts

Toddlers learning to use the potty need a lot of pants. So, I stocked up on these bargain shorts for the summer.

These shorts have an adjustable drawstring and are made from at least 20% recycled polyester. They come in a range of neutral colors (so they’ll match every dinosaur and construction shirt they already own). There are even pockets for all the rocks and sticks they’ll collect throughout the day.

These shorts are on sale for $4 (!) at Target and come in sizes 12M to 5T. Right now, there are four colors available: navy, black, brown, and charcoal gray.

I had an abortion on November 1, 2021. It was medically necessary and saved my life. They didn’t call it an abortion when we were in the ER, signing paperwork and talking about the procedure, risks, and so forth – there was some other medical term used, the exact type of procedure (Karman aspiration), but I knew what it was. I was choosing to terminate a pregnancy and to save my life. I hope it will end up being the worst experience of my life, because I cannot imagine enduring much worse, and yet I would again make that decision 100 times over again. For me, for my family, for my living daughter so she could have a mom beyond the age of 3.

My heart breaks for the next woman who will be inevitably faced with the same medical emergency but will not have the same choice, the same rights as I did.

So sad about Roe. I guess I kind of thought things might change. In my state, the law is now only to save the mother, which is better than a lot of places.

We just made a disappointing but financial responsible decision (not doing an optional house project that was going to cost way more than we had anticipated) and I found out daycare is raising tuition by more than 10% next year which is not exactly unexpected but still sucks (meanwhile my salary “merit increase” this year is 4% instead of the usual 2%…thanks stingy employer). Tell me fun/happy things?

My daughters friend invited her to see a movie with her family. What’s the etiquette on paying? Should I just give my daughter cash, or ask the mom after how much it was? Or not bother with any for such a small amount?

fyi, a bunch of stuff at Hanna is 50% off right now and for once they actually have most sizes in stock…I just got a swimsuit and some dresses for my 6yo.

It looks like we’re getting more slots of vaccines opening up around us, including with both Moderna and Pfizer as options. If you’ve done this already, how did your under 5s handle it? My 3.5 year old typically hates shots at the ped office, but did ok with the drive through flu shot. And is there any reason not to choose Moderna just for the ease of only having 2 shots? Thanks all.

We are (European airline strikes permitting) heading off on holiday tomorrow and I was struck with how much easier it is to pack, prepare and travel with a bigger kid. I just have to get myself, my son, and our two backpacks through the airport. And I’ve finished the application I was working on, and handed over the writing project to a colleague, so the laptop is staying here.
So if you’re juggling two car seats and changing diapers in a tiny plane bathroom, rest assured, it gets easier.
