tallblonde How's the supplementing going? Anymore problems with formula?
The Gerber gentle seems to be okay! I finally got a tub to keep at daycare so they can feed as needed. She may poop more than she used to because of it though, but I'm not concerned yet.

That's great. I'm glad you found something that works for her.
me too! Thanks to cagoldi for the rec. Formula is completely overwhelming. I am not sure if I'm supplementing enough, but guess I'll find out at our weigh in

J's class is studying monsters and dinosaurs right now and I just saw in his progress report that John contributes to conversations and during a monster discussion said "a monster may look like a wolverine". So maybe my Michigan book where I say wolverines are ferocious hit home.. hope he still wants to go there some day!
We finished 13 Reasons Why. It wasn't as upsetting as I was afraid it might be. Pete loved the show. Mostly because of the soundtrack, but he thought the story was good.
We were both disappointed they used a cover of "The Killing Moon" instead of the original.

Glad it's working out! It definitely is hard to find something that's just right and there isn't a ton of information out there like we have for BF.
JoeLies I must have missed what happened with this crazy DC kid. What happened 18 months ago with all those injuries? Is he just double trouble with C or does he form a posse?

vinolove, I would spend anywhere from $20-30. I usually just buy a toy and that's about the price range of many of them.
You won't get dirty looks! Most of the parties I go to, they open the gifts later, not in front of the guests. So even if they don't like it, they can't side eye you!
Hi! Just popping in to say hello. Lots of packing happening and DH is working 6a-6p for the next few days so the days are long. Movers come a week from today 😬
Probably won't be around much for the next week or so but I'll try to jump in when I can.
Good luck heymama, I'll be stalking for an update from you!!

Since I start work next week and L will be back in DC full time, we skipped today to go to the museum of natural history. Such a fun day - L loved the dinosaurs and the butterfly exhibit. He's now currently wrapping the rubber snake I bought him from the gift store around my feet. Tomorrow we hit a new playground and the mall, and Saturday the three of us are having a family day - probably last one before DD arrives. Funny how getting a job makes me sentimental and try to make the most of every moment off I have left!

So first off, this boy LOVES Colin. When they were younger, they played together so much that they often fought over toys. They're both bigger kids, but Colin generally isn't very physically aggressive while this kid definitely is. His Mom also apparently takes terrible care of his finger nails, because there was a 10 day period between Thanksgiving and Christmas (2015) when Col came home with scratches on his face 3 times. One was a deep gash a few inches long, which was still quite visible a year later. Even now you can still see it if you know what you're looking for.
They are only 3 months apart but they're born in different calendar years. Since CT follows the calendar to determine who can register for kindergarten, daycare starts grouping the kids by birth year starting with the preschool/3's class. But halfway through the year, they start gradually moving older kids up, with the bulk of the kids making the move in late August. So Colin and this kid are together again for about 6 months in total. The other boy was ecstatic to be reunited with Colin, though it took awhile for Col to warm back up to him. And now here we are.
Anyhow I always thought this kid's age was the issue, but the other early '14 kids are fine. He's just got so much energy and I've watched him run right over his Mom. She just kind of laughs it off and her general attitude seems to be "can you believe this kid?" I've only met his Dad once and he seems like an overgrown child, so it's no wonder he runs wild. And honestly, daycare doesn't really do much in the way of discipline prior to their current class, so he's coming from a place where the most he ever heard was "no", without any real consequences. Their current teachers use age-appropriate discipline, IMO.
I just don't get why our normally decently-behaved kid suddenly starts running wild, too. He's my little lemming, I guess.
Sorry about your parents @peachsmama. Hope your mom finds a place and stays close.
L talks about monsters sometimes too. We had to have his stuffed dog bark into his closet and tell the monsters to stay away! He seems to have gotten over it for now!
Still laying here feeling uncomfortable! I want to turn over but can't yet because I'm all hooked up and she falls off the monitor. Ugh! 35 more minutes till I can move around!
Are you contracting? How dilated were you when you got there?
I was between 1 and 2. Now at 3 and I am contracting quite a bit. Starting to hurt more. So, things are moving along.
My mom doesn't want my dad to know where she is. He already asked me and I said I didn't know, which is true. She didn't tell me yet. But do I lie or tell him I'm not telling?
I would say that you don't want to get involved. That you love both of them and want to keep a positive relationship with both of them so to please not put you in the middle of things. And let him know you said the same thing to your mom

I have a UO. If your family member is in the ICU please don't call your entire extended family to come visit. 1. There isn't enough room in the waiting area, 2. Your small children can NOT go in there, don't bring them, 3, this isn't the funeral, not everyone needs to be there.

@peachsmama, the answer is always to not get involved. Tell him you are respecting her wishes and if he needs info that he can contact her. If that's an issue, find somewhere else to live so you aren't in the middle of any drama.

We used Gerber Soothe formula with C and he definitely pooped more and it was oddly colored. He was much happier on it though. I'm glad things are going well. Fx for a good weigh in!
Up and Up gentle here. Both kids did great on it, but we did need to start C on probiotics due to frequent and funky poops. It helped!
So after dinner I replaced the part I thought was broken and reassembled the dryer. Still doesn't heat, ugh! Now I need to order the part and then do it all over again.
So the director wasn't there at pickup but his teacher (the one who brought up the other kid's influence) was. One of his other friends starts laughing and goes "run Colin", pointing to the door. She shut that down quickly and pulled Colin aside and told him to remember what they talked about - that he's not a follower, he's a leader. And that he's a good boy and if he's good, his friends will be, too. They had clearly had that more than once. She adores him and seems to legitimately want to get him back on track, not just to make her job easier.
Apparently DH talked to his primary teacher, who's there at dropoff but gone by pick-up. She agreed that the boys aren't great influences on each other but said they wouldn't try to separate them just yet. Though Colin said the other boy spent the day in the other 3's class, so who knows?
Anyhow I liked the leader not a follower thing, and he seemed to respond to it well. So we'll see.
