I’m going through all my kids’ summer clothes and need to add some shorts to my shopping cart.
I can see my youngest wearing these denim shorts from Old Navy on repeat this summer. These unisex shorts have a built-in drawstring for a perfect fit, and elasticized waist and stretch fabric for comfort. The pull-on style is much appreciated by potty training parents everywhere.
These jean shorts are on sale for $10 at Old Navy and comes in sizes 12-18M to 5T.

Friday afternoon happy stories/mom wins? My 5 year old just finished a week of dance camp complete with a mini performance today and it was cool to see how much progress she’s made even since the recital in April. We do it because she enjoys it, but it’s nice to see that it’s actually helping improve her balance and coordination. And they gave the parents a cute picture frame each kid had decorated with a photo of the kid dancing. 🥺
CB are you the university that is striking over giving students grades so they can’t graduate?
We live on a cul de sac with a dozen kids all between 3 and 7. Our kids have a little “big wheel”-type vehicle they got last year. Without fail, every time we try to drive the car around at least one or two other families come out and the other kids are asking for their turn. I don’t mind letting the other kids use it, but I’m also trying to balance with letting my kids have all the turns they want – after all, it’s their car. Honestly, it makes me get it out less often because it becomes so much more of a production.
What’s the best language to use? “You can take a turn when they’re done”? One kid would not stop asking for his turn and I semi-snapped and told him my own kids hadn’t even all had a chance to drive yet, so he needed to be more patient. I’m also open to occasionally asking the parents to keep their kids inside if they’re only coming out because the car is out – we get along well and I’m confident they’d understand.
DD#2 is 15 months and has her entire life gotten bad diaper rash that turns into a yeast infection. Now that its getting warm, her diapers are additionally starting to chafe her thighs to the point they bleed. We’ve tried different sizes and brands of diaper and different diaper creams and nothing seems better than anything else. We change her super often, except over night when she goes a full 12 hours generally. Our pediatrician has suggested we seriously consider attempting to potty train as early as possible – specifically at the end of the summer when she will be 18 months. This sounds nuts to me.
We didn’t potty train DD#1 until she was 2.5 and seemed ready. It worked really well and she was fully potty trained in a weekend with almost no accidents during the training process or since.
Has anyone ever successfully potty trained an 18 month old without it turning into a months long ordeal? Any suggestions? I’m skeptical she will even have enough words at that point to tell us she needs to go potty. Also we’d have to use a little potty right? (With DD#1 she just used the regular potty and it was never an issue and in my view it eliminated the transition from little potty to big potty which I appreciated). Also taking suggestions for magical diapers, diaper creams, or ways to prevent diaper chafe.
Happy Friday!
We are starting OT for my oldest, and at the very initial meeting, the therapist said DS (5.5) may have motor processing difficulties, which may be impacting our concerns (excessive anxiety/worry and hard time following directions). We are going to meet with her for a parental education session but would appreciate any insight from anyone who has dealt with this. Any questions to ask or things to look out for?
FYI, because summer reading programs came up recently, Papa John’s and Barnes & Noble are both doing summer reading programs with prizes. My kids brought the info home from school. Papa John’s has a log and a coupon, and if you read a number of books over the summer, you can turn in the log for a free pizza. B&N has a list of suggested books for grade levels and if kids read and log a certain number of those books, they can turn in the list for a free book.
Where can I find maternity suits? I have a trial scheduled for when I’m 27 weeks pregnant. Although I don’t know how big I’ll be at that time, I want to start finding options so I don’t have to worry about it last minute. I work for the government, so am looking for something on the cheaper side. I would like to stay under $150 if possible and ideally under $100 since I don’t expect to wear this more than once.
