Should DS’ 3rd birthday party be at the zoo or aquatic center? Birthday is in August
Now that Spring Break is in the rear view mirror, I was wondering if folks wanted to share the travel adventures they had as inspiration for future travels? I’ll post ours below.
we did this last summer. it was fun. go in with low expectations. i carried him a lot. we didn’t last all day.
My two year old twins won’t start swim lessons until June. Think it’s ok to buy them puddle jumpers to use in our personal pool until then? I wouldn’t let them both get in at the same time unless there’s another adult with me to supervise.
Taking a 4 year old to a day time outdoor music festival — yay or nay? I’m leaning no but wanted to hear ya’ll’s opinions. Thanks!
Parents who have moved your kids from a small private school to public— any words of wisdom / recommendations / things to expect? (1) Social. I know my shy 4th grader will have some trouble making friends. (2) Academics. There is no screening test to determine her academic level. Should I ask our outgoing teacher to submit an evaluation or something? (3) Homework. We’ve never done it! (4) A million small and big things I’m sure… security, lunch lines, clubs, PTA…
TW: Weight discussion
Baby is measuring small at her 29 week scan today (11th percentile for weight and abdominal circumference) and I have generally not gained much weight this pregnancy (8 lbs with a starting weight of 119 lbs, 5’7″).
Doc seemed a little concerned and wants to see me again in two weeks to see if weight gain improves.
I have always been slim and eat my normal diet plus pregnancy craving late night snacks. No working out due to low placenta and a history of bleeding in early pregnancy.
Any experience or advice to gain more weight? Also positive stories about babies measuring small would be appreciated.
16 days until I start my maternity leave and I CANNOT wait. I will be taking a long leave (2 years) and are generally undecided if I will return to this job or look for something else so it is hard to keep the motivation up.
I am looking forward to all the nesting and baby prep so tell me: What is the best baby prep? I am guessing meal prep? Anything else I should do?
any destinations in this hemisphere that would be good for a 3 to 4 week stay with kids ages 5 and 7? looking for reasonably priced with kid activities/camp options. the Colorado towns like Breck and vail come to mind but we’ve already done that. thanks!
I have an almost 10 year old finishing 4th grade and she wants to walk home by herself. A lot of her friends do. Would you allow her? She’s responsible/looks both ways/etc. It’s an 8 minute walk and she would have two slightly bigger roads (but nothing super major) that have crosswalks. I am super nervous about it!
Anyone have the Skylight calendar? How do you like it? We have one kid who is 2 so we don’t have a ton of extracurriculars and sports to track, but it would be nice to have our shared calendar and shared to do list be more visible.
