Not sure yet. I know our infant seat is probably expired, but I would prefer not to buy a new one, so maybe the baby will go in one of the Britax convertibles. I like these because they are all-in-ones and they have a booster mode weight capacity up to 120 lbs. Plus, I need three to fit across the back seat, which these are known for. I could be looking at the wrong model but I'm not crazy about the Dione because it doesn't look like recline as much as an infant seat so how the hell are they suppose to fall asleep in that thing? And it's not a travel system type seat so if they do manage to fall asleep then what? I can't take them out and carry them around it? But, like I said, I may have no other options. They make a angle adjuster to get a better recline. But you are right about them falling asleep in the seat. I hate when I have to switch and don't have that available anymore.

slenle, I'd switch and not say anything. My friend's H is a family doctor and he's adamant that his kids go to a pediatrician. He said they just have more training and knowledge about kids, since that's what they obviously specialize in. I'm sure family doctors are great too, but if you can go to someone who specializes in kids then that's the way to go in my mind!

What color did you end up painting your bathroom dapostropheI went with White Dove because that's what I had and I'm impatient 😉 But I like it! It's the color we have on our upper cabinets in the kitchen and I will probably use the same navy we have on our lowers for the bathroom cabinet. It's a little matchy for me, but it's not a forever decision.

vino , that's tough! How does A's mom react when he acts that way? Well here's the thing, and adding another layer, it's clear that we parent differently. There is no way that I would allow B to come to the table at a play place every 5 minutes fake crying over silliness. We'd be out the door. She brushes it off and IMO 'allows' it. Although yesterday, she did threaten to leave if he wasn't going to play, but never followed though. And I get it, she wants to give him the benefit of doubt to 'change' and honestly I dont care how anyone parents but now it's making B feel like the 'bad guy' for just wanting to have fun and run around.

Thanks guys. I know it's the right thing to switch. Another valid excuse is that Dr. L doesn't work Thursdays, and Thursdays are my day off so it makes sense to schedule their appts when I'm not working.

Ugh, I had a feeling that would be the case. You know it's not really going to get better when the behavior isn't really reprimanded. I'm like you, if you can't play and get along then we're gone. Too bad the mom isn't a total bitch you can't stand so it'd just be easy to cut ties!

I'm enjoying reading the thread on parenting about what you'd do if you had $1,000 to spend on yourself. Something fun and not taking into account bills, house projects, ect.

Taking Gunner to get his haircut today 😬 it’s just getting a little bit too long.
Tomorrow I’m going to the plastic surgeon my mom works at to get a bump removed off my forehead. It’s dumb but it looks like a big zit in pictures especially when I have makeup on. I don’t know what it is... maybe scar tissue?

joelies kim22 I could be wrong, but didn't both of you go to Temecula recently? Which wineries did you go to? Would you recommend them? I've been to Callaway before and one other one, but can't remember the name. Did you eat at any of them? I think MH & I will go on Friday for lunch.

vino I usually tell myself as long as my kid isn't getting hurt, I can deal with some whining/poor behavior, etc. Kids go through so many stages so quickly, he might just be in a clingy one. Sometimes it's going to be my kid who's going through a tough stage, and I am grateful when others cut us some slack. If you really get along with this mom, I would say don't throw the relationship away too easily. Mom friends are worth their weight in gold!

I'm about to have my annual review.
I already know that raises company wide were 1.5-2% so whatever, I'm sure this won't be very exciting.

jewels 2-I think that any change at this age, whether that be kids, classroom, teachers etc are enough to keep them interested, so I dont think that being bored in 1.5 years would happen. I would be more concerned with him being bored staying with the status quo 3-Since it is just daycare I dont think there is a 'behind', again set the bar high and let S rise to the challenge 4-i dont think you an look at it from a whole class perspective, think of S only and since he seems excited, i'd definitely go with it. Not sure if you were looking for a response, i'm sure you've though of everything, just an outside perspective. I appreciate the responses. Outside perspective helps to put everything in perspective

Sorry if this gets long. So, both kids see a family practice doctor (Dr. L) instead of the pediatrician (Dr. E) for no reason other than that my sister uses the family practice doc for her kids and recommended her and the pediatrician was due around the same time I was with N so would've been on maternity leave. We live in a small town and both of these doctors are friends of my sister, so I know them both and see them socially often. Anyway, a part of me wants to switch to Dr E. We have seen her a few times when Dr L isn't available and she is just so much more thorough. I feel like Dr. L is too casual toward us because we are friends. Any time I have a concern, she seems to shrug it off like it's nothing, which it might be, but I just want to given a little more attention. H's 2yr will be coming up and I have some concerns (like his height I mentioned last week). I feel like Dr L would say it's nothing but Dr E would at least give me the time of day to talk about it. Typing this out, I feel like I know the right thing to do, but I just don't know how! Obviously my kids' health comes first, but it's just awkward. Do I tell Dr. L I will be seeing Dr E or just schedule H's appt with Dr E and not say anything? TLDR: I want to switch the kids' doctor, but know them both personally. How should I handle this? I’d switch - and I would just schedule the appt. don’t make it a big deal w them. I’m sure this sort of thing happens a lot. And you’ll probably still see the other dr occasionally

I'm reading it too, but we should play here. I'd be really interested in everybody's responses. And I've been trying to come up with one for myself but it usually goes to house projects.

I'm hoping it's just from lack of sleep this weekend. Also, I just dropped Josie off at school and there are six kids in her class and four of them were absent, as well as her teacher. The only other kid that was there is a little boy who had the flu two weeks ago, and now his little sister is in the hospital with the flu. I want to go scoop up my girl so badly.

I definitely want to keep her as a friend and let the boys figure it out, but I'm just seeing this happening more and more and B is making comments that A cries and doesnt want to play, I'm just waiting for the day where he doesnt ask to play with him anymore because of this. Then what? (rhetorical question) do I disregard B and set up play dates anyway? Ugh, so tough. Anyway, I'm probably overthinking it.

I've been to Callaway before and one other one, but can't remember the name. Did you eat at any of them? I think MH & I will go on Friday for lunch. The wedding we went to was at Callaway. The next day we did a tasting of red wines at Doffo. It was recommended to us by a couple we met at the wedding. We really enjoyed it, it was a small, family owned place. We still have the bottles we brought home because I found out I was pregnant before we got to drink them. We did lunch at at Thornton winery I think. We ate outside and they kept apologizing for taking too long and kept bringing champagne. Our friend who got married there just accepted a job in that area and will be moving there when he finishes his residency here in June. We will most likely make frequent trips out that way so let me know if you find something good.

jewels as long as the school has an option for next year, I would move him if he has a good day today. T is currently the oldest in his class but they follow local public schools placement rules so he stays down. After lunch they combine classes and they 2 boys he talks about all the time are from the older class.
