Thinking of you and your H Betweenthelines. I hope that this all feels a little less scary after meeting with the doctor tomorrow. Crossing my fingers that the news is all positive.

Yesterday was a long day. We had OT in the morning, then E and I had a class, home for nap. Isaac had swimming after school and then I had a board meeting.
Random question, probably depends on where you live. I think some, not all, people plant veggies inside then move them outside. How early is to early to do this. At our event we are doing on April 20 (earth day theme) I thought it might be fun to plant veggies that people can eventually move outside. I was shot down because “it’s to soon”. “People don’t start planting until Memorial Day at earliest.” We do live some place cold. And I knew someone who was a master gardener who would agree not to plant outside in our state until Memorial Day at the earliest but I thought you started veggies inside for a few weeks anyway. Basically I thought it was a fun cute idea.

They moved h's appointment to 10, he rushed home and skipped his second meeting. As soon as he got home at 915AM, they called him and canceled the appt because "the Dr was driving and the roads were bad" 😠😠😡😡😡 which is bullshit because it just started fucking snowing. Nothing on the roads yet. H is so pissed.
They gave him an appointment with a different Dr tomorrow at 3, but if the snow isn't bad tomorrow I have to go to work..

Ugh, I’m sorry Betweenthelines. Sending good thoughts your H’s (and your) way. That’s so nerve wracking to be ready to go and have it postponed.

I was supposed to be Panamá bound today but my flight was cancelled. No flights available out tomorrow either. United will change our first flight or cancel the whole trip without penalty, but they will charge us to move our return flight so that we would have a decent amount of time there, so we are cancelling the whole trip. I’m super bummed. At least we get a full refund.

Betweenthelines, I'm sorry - but again, i am assuming they aren't that concerned if they are moving his appointment, this is a good thing!

I’m going to see if there’s any way we can do something in April. Otherwise we might have to wait until fall or next winter.

coconutbacon, congrats on the PR and enjoy Panama! I had the best mojito there. RunsforWineandCarbs, hurray for H being home. It sucks parenting solo, remember that your only goals are to keep the kid(s) alive and make sure the house doesn’t burn down. That’s it.

We have so much snow that it looks like narnia here. It’s a lot for us. Monday I took off, Tuesday I was out sick, it’s a snow day today and likely tomorrow. So, a very productive week for me.... And my weird kitchen implement menagerie is growing

I got a call from daycare this morning that M got in a fight with another kid and they both have scratches on their faces. I was so upset and immediately started spiraling that it's because of his issues communicating and such. Thankfully RunsforWineandCarbs talked me down. But we have books about hitting on the way and I think we're going to find the Daniel Tiger episode about calming down to watch again. He does get frustrated when he can't say things, so we'll keep focus on how to react to those emotions, as well as working on speech.

Download the Daniel tiger app. Not sure if you have Android, but it's great. You can play clips based on the emotion or situation.

I didn't know that existed Betweenthelines! Downloaded! That stupid tiger is awesome, though annoying.

armpants and Betweenthelines, I just started Poppy watching Daniel Tiger last week! I was holding out bc annoying, but he really does help with the frustration. I am going to look for that app (but I don’t have an Android).

Poppy and I baked chocolate chip cookies. If I can’t have sunshine, I’ll have sugar! H decided to work from home, but he just finished up so now he’s going to make us some sort of vacation beverage so we can imagine we’re in Panama.

Don't be too hard on yourself about the scratching armpants. Many toddlers go through that stage regardless of where they're at with language development. Abigail went through it pretty bad about 2 months ago and left some big scratches on us as a result. Fortunately it was short-lived. I found it helpful to keep her nails trimmed pretty short during that time in addition to obviously helping her solve her problems in other ways and clearly communicating that she shouldn't scratch.

Sooo worm walked up to me this afternoon with a huge grin on her face and said “Mommy look! My baby is drinking my boob” you guys, I seriously had such a proud mommy moment and I had all the feels. Then some troll decided to be an a$$ and it tore me down for a bit. Seriously brought me to tears. I’ve snapped out of it, but I’ve learned that he does this solely to breastfeeding related pictures and that pisses me off even more. On top of that, Instagram doesn’t think anything is wrong with it. So now it’s 1 in the morning and I’m still up and ragey.

mrspiatt, I saw that pic on FB or IG and I loved it. What a horrible troll that man is. Does IG let you hide or delete comments? Don’t let him bring you down— A is mimicking how her mama feeds her little brother. What could be more wholesome or adorable than that?!
