Family Friday: No Yank Tank

I recently did a post recommending cheap Forever 21 undershirts — and here’s the more expensive version ($16.50) that I like just as much. The difference is I’ve worn these tanks on their own, whereas I wouldn’t wear the cheaper tanks as my only layer. These tanks are thick, opaque, and long; the straps are wide enough to hide a bra strap; and they come in both regular and plus sizes. They are called “No Yank,” and I do find that they stay put easily. I originally just bought one in black (they come in 20 colors), and I find myself “saving” it so it’s not in the wash when I really want to wear it. I think that’s a sign of a) needing to buy more and b) really liking an item of clothing. On a related note, after being bombarded by Duluth Trading Company ads during football season, I bought my husband their “Armachillo Cooling Boxer Briefs” ($27.50) and he says they do work as advertised.

Re-posting since I was too late the other day.
Any recommendations for toddler volume-limited headphones? I’m looking on Amazon but as far as I can tell they’re all the same.
When did your kiddo drop their afternoon nap? Little Cb is struggling with it at nursery – no amount of pram jiggling is working and I think he’s just done. But he’s so knackered at the end of the day – he basically chases after the big kids outside all day and he’s exhausted. Hoping he’ll consolidate into a longer nap at some point.
I am a certified fan of the women’s Armachillo Tank (and the Ts). Not even remotely workwear in my office, but perfect for chasing small children around the playground, going to the farmer’s market, hiking, and sitting through unending soccer practices. Pairs well with the Eddie Bauer Horizon Skort Plus, bra snaps in the shoulders! Totally worth the spend (and on sale right now . . . I might need to snap up the pretty jade color because it goes with The Kid’s team colors for soccer this year . . . ).
Our youngest (a girl) has been daytime dry for years, but can’t seem to stay dry overnight (so has a primary eneuresis diagnosis, too much urine production + heavy sleeper = this is just a thing and she’ll grow out of it, maybe by the time she is 10). She doesn’t like it though, so we are trying this: bare bottom + sheet cover + waking at 10 + pullup overnight + waking at 5am (bare bottom again after). We tried the Oh, Cr@p method of waking every 2 hours, but I don’t have the stamina for that after a month (we tried that in the summers for two years now). The plan is if she is consistently dry (for like a month) before 10 and after 5 to walk 5 back to 4, then 3, then 2, etc. Has anyone else done this? Kid is in grade school and really wants to go to sleep-away camp with her friends next summer.
