A pair of pink, green, and purple waterproof sandals for kids

I feel like my kids are constantly outgrowing their water shoes so it’s a constant hunt.

Here’s a pair from outdoor footwear expert Merrell. These shoes have flexible, quick-drying uppers and a reinforced toe bumper. A wider toe box fits little feet (it even comes in medium and wide widths), and the hook-and-eye closure keeps them secure. These shoes will last through hours of splash pad fun!

Merrell’s Kids’ Bare Steps H20 shoes start at $24.99, depending on the color. They’re available in toddler sizes 4–10 in six colors here and here.

We are getting ready to transition the 3 year old to a big bed, and he has some pretty bad bedtime routines. For quite a while, dad has read him stories and then sat with him in the glider/recliner until he falls asleep in his lap. I really want to get him out of the need to fall asleep with his dad. Any tips/tricks to transition back to independent sleep?
We sleep trained him at 12 weeks, and he was great for a couple years until they got into this habit. We tried to redo CIO a couple weeks ago, and it was a mess.

How often would you guys recommend I take LB (1 yo) to the pool, considering:
~It’s important to both me and DH that he learn to swim someday.
~DH loved swimming as a kid and really treasures this chance to share an activity. But he works later than me, so he can’t make it happen without my support.
~The pool is 15 min away from work/daycare and 45 min away from home, so it pretty much requires the whole evening. Then we go home and rush through dinner and bedtime.
