I really like this sleeveless top from Anthropologie — I think it’s a good combination of whimsical and professional. The pattern looks geometric from far away, but upon closer inspection, it has rain clouds, umbrellas, and suns. The print in combination with the tied neck gives it the whimsical aspect, but the asymmetrical neckline with the full coverage straps and back keep it adult. I like how it’s styled with navy blue pants (though not these particular ones) and gold jewelry. This top also comes in a cat print — and just a note, I think one of the reviewers of this top got confused with the star rating and raved about the top while only giving it one star. Both prints are $68 and are available in XXS–XL. Nimbus Top

- The concept of “backup care” is so stupid…
- I need tips on managing employees in BigLaw who have to leave for daycare pickup…

- I’m now a SAHM and my husband needs to step up…
- How can I change my thinking to better recognize some of my husband’s contributions as important, like organizing the shed?
- What are your tips to having a good weekend with kids, especially with little kids? Do you have a set routine or plan?
Hoping to buy all my Christmas present this week. Looking for ideas. What are you getting your husband and kids?
I will start. So far I am thinking magnatiles for my 4 year old. Lost on what to get husband, as I am every year.
For those that did CIO, how long did it take before the crying stopped??? Started Ferber CIO with five month old four days ago. Bedtime crying ranges was 20 minutes night 1, then 2-5 minutes, then an extinction burst and 40 minutes on night 4, naptime <5 minutes. He is still waking up once a night to eat, but otherwise not waking at night or only fussing for 5-10 minutes, and sleeping 8-7, which is great, especially after so many transitions (dropping paci and swaddle, dropping snoo, moving to his own room in the course of 3 weeks leading up to sleep training).
I was hoping the crying would end by now , as for my older daughter this worked in 1 night. Also I hear all these stories of people for whom this worked in a couple days. But it is not working as well as I hoped (why is he crying at night 4?). Naps are crappy (45 minutes), LO is overtired and cranky all day long (fell asleep when playing the other day). He just looks depressed honestly, which makes my heart melt.
Also I keep worrying that I am setting up my child for years of therapy with CIO, every time I google advice I get all these articles saying CIO is damaging and mean ugh.
What are everyone’s favorite thanksgiving recipes (for both the turkey and sideshow? i just realized thanksgiving is on Thursday and I still haven’t figured out what I am making.
Just wanted to thank everyone who commented on my “whether to have baby #2 despite health issue and other concerns” post. I truly appreciate your kind and honest thoughts.
When did your kids drop naps altogether? My oldest has been refusing to nap and taking forever to fall asleep at night on days that she does nap so I am thinking it may be time but the internet suggests she’s to young (not quite 3). Is it possible to drop naps sometimes? Like nap some days, but not others?
Silly, silly, silly questions. DS turned 1 today, and after nursing him, I put him in the highchair with some cow’s milk in sippy. This raised some questions for me:
1. What is the routine for others who have kids this age? As in, once I’m done nursing (goal is 12/1), do I just throw DS in the highchair with sippy cup once he’s up?
2. How long did it take your kiddos to start enjoying cow’s milk? I’m not too worried, because worst case if he doesn’t there’s yogurt, cheese, etc. but just curious. He seemed more confused than anything this AM since it was the first time.
3. How do you manage your sippy cups to/from daycare? I’m thinking he’ll have a set of 2 for daycare for water and milk, respectively, and a set for home, but ideas welcome.
4. Can you put the sippy cup back in the fridge with milk that’s unfinished?
Like I said…silly questions. :)
My 15 month old nurses first and last thing and has started saying ‘All gone?’ after a few minutes so I think our nursing sessions are coming to an end. A recent illness seems to have accelerated the process. This will be my only baby and I’ve been so lucky that feeding him has been such an easy and positive experience. I know it is time but I’m quite sad. Commiserations?
We carpool with a really tall four year old kid who doesn’t fit in our convertible clek carseat – but only once a week. Recommendations for a booster seat (convertible booster? whatever’s the next step) that’s easy to install and remove for that once a week trip?
Favorite convertible carseats? I’m leaning towards the Britax Clicktight because of safety reasons and excellent reviews. Any recommendations for Marathon vs Boulevard vs Advocate? Price isn’t a huge concern. We’re going to buy a Scenera Next for air travel, so I don’t anticipate taking the Britax in and out of the car much. We do roadtrip occasionally, so comfort and how easy it is for kids to sleep in it is important. Kiddo is big (both chunky and tall) if that’s another factor. I’m assuming when she outgrows the Britax, we’ll be able to transition to a booster seat but maybe I’m wrong about that?
Thoughts on trying the Ok to Wake clock with a 2.5 year old who is already sleeping in a toddler bed? My understanding is that part of the training for younger kids is that you tell them you’ll only get them out of the crib once the clock is green. What should we say to our son to get him to stay in his own bed (or at least room) until the time we want? Aiming to go from 5am wake-ups to at least 5:30, ideally 6am.
Sorry for another baby sleep question. My 9 month old has been down to 2 naps per day for a while and most days it works really well. But occasionally, she crashes about 2 hours before her normal bedtime. If I let her take so much as a 15 minute catnap in my arms, it can push it back by 2 hours or more. But if we just go ahead and do the bedtime routine and put her down early, she takes a nice ~45 minute – 1.5 hour nap in the crib and then wakes up ready to play for another 4+ hours. From a practical standpoint, catnap seems like our best solution, but I’m wondering if anyone had been here and had any advice?
I can’t be the only person whose baby/toddler gets far more food on the floor than in their mouth…how much do you clean up the floor in restaurants? I know I should clean up after my kid, but a restaurant floor is usually pretty dirty and the idea of getting down there on my hands and knees amidst other people’s messes grosses me out. Can a big (like 30%+) tip compensate for leaving a mess?
Admin/design question for Kat:
Is it possible to bring back the functionality where an entire thread + all subthreads’ comments can be expanded with one click?
Right now, I’m needing to expand each level of comments individually, which is pretty cumbersome.
