I posted a few weeks ago about pulling my son from his daycare after one of the teachers yanked him by the arm. In a happier follow up, I found out yesterday that we got off the waitlist for an amazing preschool for next fall. This preschool is truly amazing – it’s a Reggio Emilia school and a big fixture in our town (a small suburb), where about 50% of the children in town go before Kindergarten. It also has an active parents community and a lot of the parents in our town are friends from their kids’ time at the preschool. But (of course) it’s only 8-12 every morning with no full day option.

Is anyone doing something similar? How do you make it work? So far we’re happy with the daycare that we moved him to a few weeks ago and I don’t feel like we absolutely need to move him, but it would be nice to be able to do this community preschool if we can make it work. Any advice?

This question shows my inexperience. Where does your toddler sleep while on vacation? We are getting a beach airbnb next week and I am not sure where my kiddo will sleep. At home, she sleeps in a crib and takes naps on a cot at daycare. I can ask the airbnb host if they can provide a crib, but it doest seem likely. Should I buy a pack and play (can a toddler sleep in that?). I have also seen inflatable cots. I think that might be too different for kiddo to sleep easily.

What fun little presents for yourself would you get if someone gave you a $25 target gift card? I’ve been on a pretty strict spending hiatus lately, saving up to replace my dying car, and someone gave me this gift card as a thank you. I’m sadly really excited.

I was informed this morning that my son is the next to move up out of infant class, starting in 2 weeks. I was not expecting it yet because he’s the third-oldest of the remaining kids (Ok their birthdays are all within the first 2 weeks of May, but still!) and he isn’t walking yet (though this isn’t a requirement and neither are the 2 older than him). I’m so sad! I almost teared up. I even tried to argue why the other kids should move up first. I love his teachers and so does he. They do a gradual transition and he is familiar with most of the teachers in the next room already because they fill in. But I’m not ready! Any advice? Comiseration?

I just realized that my LO is about to turn one, and we never sent out a freaking birth announcement. She’s our first kid. I feel like a terrible mother. Can anyone relate? Please tell me that she will not feel deprived or neglected as an adult because her (theoretical) baby book doesn’t include something adorable from Tiny Prints.

Or, alternatively, can I somehow spin her first birthday into a birth announcement? I hate all of these “optional” parenting tasks. Every time I think I’m starting to wrap my head around them, I think of three more that I haven’t done and am never gonna have time to do…

I want to buy my about-to-be-one-year-0ld daughter a charm bracelet – theoretically I would get a charm every year and give it to her at HS graduation or something. I don’t really want the Pandora-style, but more of a classic. Any ideas for reputable brands of bracelets and/or charms? I’ve never owned anything like this personally.

I’d always been a morning exerciser, and now that my four-month old is sleeping through the night, I’d really like to add exercise back into my life. But he’s still nursing, and I wake up looking surgically enhanced (and often leaking). Is it possible to work out in the mornings, before the baby wakes up, when you’re still nursing? I’m a runner, so ideally I’d like to get back to that, but should I settle for something a little less…jiggly for now? Should I pump for a bit, exercise, and then feed him when he wakes up? Just seems like so much work….
