My oldest is past the unicorns and rainbows stage, but her former four-year-old self would have loved these rain boots.
These fun rain boots have a cheerful unicorn face, sparkly horn, and colorful tail. They also have practical features like a cushioned footbed, rugged outsole, and easy pull-on tabs. Add the coordinating raincoat for more unicorn magic!
These boots are on sale for $17.49 at Old Navy and come in whole sizes 5-11. They also come in a frog design.

We have to do something to stop my toddler’s constant ear infections. Probably ear tubes. I have an initial consult with one ENT scheduled already, but I want to shop around a bit to find the best provider. Beyond bedside manner, how would you compare options for where to get ear tubes?
Edit to add: has anyone tried myofascial therapy? I’m tempted to go that way because it could help with both ears and speech…
I lost it at my kid last night and said some really unkind things that an 8 year old should not hear from their parent. My kiddo is a tricky kid and just requires so much mental energy to parent. We had sibling’s end of year “show” for an activity (it wasn’t much of a show but that’s besides the point) and DH was traveling for work and kiddo was saying she didn’t want to go, or that fine she would go but wouldn’t watch and sibling was getting upset. Turns out something happened with kiddo at school that day that she wanted to talk to me about but for whatever reason before she can let it out, she just acts so mean to everyone around her. We are already working with therapist and psychiatrist (kiddo has anxiety and adhd) and have made a lot of progress, though often feels like 2 steps forward and one step back. I know we are all human and lose it sometimes, but really I was so mean and don’t like that my frustration got the best of me.
I completely lost my temper with DH this morning because our good friends texted asking if we were coming to their kiddos birthday party tomorrow. It was the first I had heard of it because the email invite was sent only to DH and he didn’t even open it because he assumed it was sent to both of us and I generally handle stuff like this. He never mentioned it to me at all. Mistakes happen, but this is the second year in a row that this has happened with this particular friend, I assume because they only put his email in their invite list. I definitely overreacted but why can’t DH do this incredibly basic thing?? We had a whole argument about it last year with him promising to do better and the exact same scenario happened again.
What’s everyone up to this weekend? Any fun plans?
We’re seeing my husband’s friend in a maybe-not-kid-appropriate musical and are trying out a new restaurant, kiddo has belay climbing lessons Sunday AM, and we’re getting the last little house bits done (some shelves up, some artwork) and doing a good clean.
Weird question..,my 9yo neurotypical kid does not wipe #2 well. She doesn’t take a tablet or anything in the bathroom to distract her. Also she’s not constipated so we know it’s not that thing where poo leaks out when they’re constipated. We’ve talked to her about wiping well SO many times and we don’t want to embarrass her. She’s overall a VERY responsible kid who takes care of herself and her stuff. It’s just this one gross thing! I keep buying new underwear! Any suggestions? I mean this needs to get better before she goes through puberty and really has more to take care of.
