The app always kicks kicks me out of the private board, so I finally logged back in- went through and liked all the cute pics! Sorry for blowing up your notifications.
What did you guys get for your kiddos birthday presents (if anything)? I can’t decide what to get L, or how to celebrate her birthday, but I have 2 more weeks to figure it out. I want to have a party, maybe, but feeling quite unmotivated to plan and host it.

We haven’t really gotten him anything tbh. He had a ton of toys already and he is costing us $$$ with his therapies soooo I’m waiting to see what his grandparents get him 😂 🤷🏻♀️
I wanted to get him a small stuffy Elmo. Our nanny got him a big one that moves and talks though so it seems like overkill 🤷🏻♀️

They just hold the handlebars and pedal with their feet on the pavement and balance it. She is quickly getting the hang of it. I also read that a lot of kids go right to a regular bike after without needing training wheels. |

We started developmental therapy last week so that’s still too new to really get a feel for. Speech is improving a Lot but still has a ways to go. Hes advancing in some parts but still struggling in others. We will see. |

I want to have a party, maybe, but feeling quite unmotivated to plan and host it. Well we did a combined party at my parents house for me, dh, and J. On J actual birthday we will probably just go out to eat and ill make him a cake. We bought him a balance bike, new shoes, new coat for winter, and a toy lawnmower he has wanted for months. My parents got him a play kitchen. Other relatives gor hom cars, trucks, a bus, and clothes. |

I need food ideas. A eats a lot of chicken, sweet potato fries, quiche and French toast. And turkey corn dogs. But I need some other ideas. He eats all fruits and likes to snack on baby carrots. What are your toddlers current favorites? yogurt, cheese and crackers, hard boiled eggs, oatmeal |

What are your toddlers current favorites? Current favorites are pizza, buttered noodles with parmesan, tortillas with salsa, crackers and cheese, goldfish, pea crisps, and still pouches to get his veggies. |

My kid is broken and won’t eat pizza, yogurt, peanut butter, or pouches. M is also a weirdo about pouches, like thinks she might like it but doesn't. Even just the applesauce one, she starts squeezing it and looks at it like it is poison, lol |

L loves pizza, cucumber slices, all fruit, butter noodles, meatballs, any shredded meat (esp beef roast), breakfast sausage, fries, peanut butter toast. She does not do pouches or most veggies.

For birthday we did a Step2 roller coaster, wooden trains and megablocks. He got a bunch of stuff from family, though, so I feel like I went overboard.
He has become really, really picky lately and will take a few bites and then be done it just shake his head at everything. He refuses most meat. Mac n cheese and pizza are always hits as is soup and ramen noodles. I have had luck with frozen veggies, especially peas, so I just don't cook his. String cheese and slices of American cheese are a big hit. Pouches are a no, but he'll eat gogurt.

So yesterday was my first day back at work. J bawled gis head off when i left then i got behind a wreck and was an hour late. Not a great way to start the year.
I peeked in the daycare where he will be next week and it looked decent. I didnt like that naptime is supposed to be at 12 ( when dh picks him up) and yesterday they had them down at 1130. Thats not going to fly. I called the owner about a few things and found out shes a spcial ed teacher like me. She did not know i was working in the building with a daycare but she does now. The teachers do too. I just eant to make sure my child is well taken care of.

M stated liking sandwiches. Pb&J and Cheese&tofurkey. Pouches are special treats she gets to eat in grocery stores if she stays sitting calmly. It works, except she wants a pouch in Every store. At least it isn’t candy ? I could list what she likes today. Doesn’t mean she will like it next month. I saw something funny yesterday. It said something like no one prepared me for the most painful part of adulthood is figuring out what to cook for dinner each night “ I have more energy for lunch than dinner. Feels like the meals are reversed around here. Oh yeah I forgot about sandwiches. My M likes them too. MH said she took down 1/2 a meatball grinder yesterday, lol. I think she eats more than D1 at the moment. |
