ttcbabyj, is it nap time over there yet? I feel very invested in your kid's nap situation. So sweet! It’s Tuesday, so she was home with me. And as usual she took a 3 hour nap. She will be back at daycare tomorrow. 😬😬😬

Hurricane Florence approacheth (luckily just the edge of it here) and I'm worried about keeping kiddo entertained inside for basically three or four days straight if the rains and winds come down hard enough. Praying our power doesn't go out - we lost it for two days in a wind storm in March. There's only so much sensory play or coloring you can do.

How old is your kid again? I have a ton of activities pinned for rainy days depending on the age.

I have a lot of activities, but I know they'll be stretched thin after one or two days. Luckily, how it seems that the storm is moving more south so FX'd it's just light rain.

We are entering an 1+ hours with playdough. I guess I will need to make more. I'm kind of annoyed that the most of the store bought containers we hard already without being used at all. I guess I will just keep making it.

I actually got this recipe from someone on here.

Months. Make sure to not skip the tartar, that's what keeps it from molding.

I guess I will just keep making it. DS1’s program makes all their own play dough. I asked when they said that they make it, and they said the store stuff was too expensive with how fast they went through it and didn’t last as long. They make a new batch monthly, but I bet 16 preschoolers are pretty rough on it

We close on both houses a week from today. Packing a house with two kids has been....less than simple.

It was our biggest regret when we moved last fall that we did all the packing ourselves. We only have the one kid, but it was a nightmare.

We have movers coming to put the heaviest items in the truck but otherwise we're packing by ourselves. It's just hard to do with DS2 who needs constant interaction at every waking moment 🙄

piratecat thank you so much for the sitting suggestion. DD slept for an hour and half today!!! I watched them sit her down and she went right on her tummy. I’ve submitted a request for the personalized sound machine as well. I’m on mission to get this child to nap as long as possible!!

We moved when I was pregnant with DS2- I actually took a day or two off work to pack and enlisted family help 🙈 Since we know we’re moving sometime before the end of the year, we’ve been slowly packing during nap time and accepting the fact we’ll live out of boxes before we move.

@starzia I’m sorry, hang in there. Can you get some help from family so you can take a break and some time for yourself? I hope it gets better soon.

Oh yay, you got this! They'll be so fun together! Thank you. I really hope so. She has a doll baby now I will try to prep her the best I can. Don’t squish the baby. Meanwhile she is squishing her friends. She got so exited we babysat her buddy she wouldn’t stop hugging him. And knocking him over. He cried. At first I was like omg so cute , but then I’m like omg give home a break, give him air ! Now he’s probably afraid of her. She'll get better with practice. Also she'll be that much older.
