Both my kids classes have an Instagram and it’s very weird to just be scrolling and see my kids in school. But I really appreciate it- especially for P. Who is in K y’all. I really wish that we had that. Our summer camp sent daily emails with pictures and I miss seeing pictures of my kids’ day. I loved all the pictures from daycare, too. Our K teachers use an app called Class Dojo. G's teacher posts pics a couple days per week but L's teacher hasn't posted a single thing and it kind of drives me nuts.

My 7 year old has no idea how to tie shoelaces. Are they going to kick him out of 1st grade? He doesn't even have laced shoes to practice on. Lol my 9 year old can barely tie, and when she does it only lasts for about an hour. I finally gave up and bought my 2nd grader no-tie laces this weekend Bc I was tired of her not wearing shoes she already owns Bc they are laced. Whatever. She will learn before college. In these times, honestly tying a damn shoe is the least of my concerns. When they decide they really want to learn, they will figure it out in a day. Just like she did with braiding. There were so many untied shoes in k-3 for E. I just gave up with C. He is practicing though.

It hasn't even occurred to me to get my kids shoes with laces. #WorldsOkayestMom

I officially have 2 toddlers now. The last few days have been nuts, between visits and prepping for party (which was today). Also, my brother surprised me on Thursday when we went out for breakfast. I haven't seen him since Fs first birthday over 2 years ago, and didn't think that I was going to see him until Christmas at the earliest!

C is not even trying to walk so I do not feel like she qualifies as a toddler yet 😅 I hope the party went well!!

W is trying, and actually walked like halfway down the hallway, but she still prefers crawling (and is FAST lol). Is C saying words at all? I swear W repeats words here and there, but DH thinks I'm nuts lol. It went okay! I'm not unhappy with it. I got a balloon arch, and we had pizza and cupcakes, and W managed to stay awake for the whole thing, even though she was SO READY for a nap lol

The most of any of my kids at this age. If you think W is saying some she probably is, it's definitely not too early at 12 months! W looks adorable in her purple dress! C seemed to love her cake at first but after 4 or 5 bites she stopped haha.

Happy birthday W! @speedy milano stringy our neighbor used to formally foster dogs for a long time, but she doesn’t really do it anymore except for when someone calls her about an emergency. She had this pup and needed to find a home ASAP so here we are haha. We were worried the cat would protest, but so far they’re getting along fine. It seems like he came from a less-than-ideal situation, so I am going to get him into the vet ASAP Tuesday.

We have two young girls who live down the street. The kids all played outside together for hours yesterday. And then I met the mom. Pro-vaccine, pro-mask, pro-science, lgbtqia+ friendly. And totally admitted she creeped on my house listing before I bought it. She’s my kind of people!

It's been life-changing for me to have close neighbor-friends. I wish that for you as well!

I was just coming here to post how excited I am to go hiking tomorrow with some pro-vax/pro-mask/pro-science distant relatives who moved to our town recently. They're second cousins third removed or some crazy connection like that LOL. All the kids are within a three year age range and play together very well. I'm stupidly excited because I grew up with no extended family so this may be my kids' chance to grow up with cousins!

Also, rhymeswithdisco, are you the one who posted in GD to apply sunscreen with a makeup sponge? That has been such a sanity saver here! 👏👏👏

mc13 are your girls still playing Lacrosse? I'm trying to decide what kind of bag to get for A's hear. Any suggestions? Backpack style, stick shaped, or duffle (which seem overkill for girls' gear)??

Yes! I played in college too. My girls all use old backpacks for their goggles, mouth guards, and waterbottles then carry their sticks. The stick shape bags seem like a good idea but they don’t fit much other stuff so kinda a waste. So if you’re getting a new bag, get the backpack style that you can slide the stick through the hole.

Perfect, thanks!! I ended up finding a mostly unused backpack in my house that has all kinds of molle and different pockets, and it works out great for holding all her gear. Phew!
