My daughter used to help herself during swim class when she was 8 months -2 years old. I’d make my way to the side.
It’s a costume let children of any
Age and gender wear what they want.

Nanny-Then at about 1.75 did 3 full days a week until 3, so glad we did I see a big difference in immunity and adjustment with the children who never had any daycare prior to prek3, I can’t imagine fighting with a 5-6 year old about school for the first time nor would I want to deal with a child that large and independent being sick as much as they get when they first enter community environments. Babies/toddlers are easier patients.
iPad? Motorized car? DisneyWorld? A Cruise?
Those have been some of my daughter’s big ticket items and jewelry.

Bobo is ethnic slang for a pacifier or hair plastic ties, she’s using it incorrectly. I would also tell them to please use proper body part names as this helps children with boundaries and god forbid incident reports in the future.

Comfont them and if not new daycare. Maybe a Waldorf environment.
Underwear with pull-ups on top, putting them on the potty mid sleep.
This worked for us before the age of 3.

Once a year for pro upholstery and carpet cleaning.
I went with the monte recliner and matching ottoman, it was great for pumping/breast feeding and some hard toddler sick nights
I have discussed “pop-pop-pop” with my daughter since she was almost 3.
That if she hears loud noises and screams or a stranger to run and hide in a cabinet or a bathroom with her feet up on the toilet. And to close her eyes and cover her mouth and not come out until the police come.
I have told her not to worry about her stuff or her friends, that everyone will hide alone and be ok and she will see them after.
I have told her to lay on the floor and play dead.
This is the reality of the world we live in I have to prepare her.

I did 3 full days from age 1.5 to 3, full days made more sense for my schedule. The other days were spent with nanny and doing extracurricular with me, I wasn’t ready for full time and I still make time in my work schedule to keep her 1 day a week now that she’s in Pre K3.
Early flight, own seat, safe travels!!
Fellow single mom here, took my 1 year old snowboarding at liberty 2 years ago, last year was a wash due to warm weather. She loved it and the snow tubing at night. Super close drive made my decision easier.

It’s tempting to want to show off the language skills for grandparents or be constantly listening for “progress.”
But for your kid, this language exists in the classroom and is about play and relationship with other kids and their teachers. It’s hard to explain, but it won’t belong to you (unless you speak it too). So they may never use it at home with you, but speak it a lot at school. (The first time I heard it was when my dd was speaking to her doll while playing alone at home.) Or they may be slow to start using it at school, but their teacher will be the best judge of their pace of learning. So just keep doing all of your normal parenting and keep the language pressure low at home. You don’t have to add a bunch of supports or push them to use it or monitor progress.

Very well stated. My kid has been in Spanish immersion for two years and loves Spanish. Can speak in full sentences, express herself clearly, etc. The caveat is the ONLY reason I know this is because her teachers tell me. She won’t speak Spanish around me or anyone else who she speaks English with. I have heard her speak Spanish with random kids she hears on the playground but her brain truly keeps who she speaks Spanish with separate from who she speaks English with. It’s really interesting but her teachers assure me they are so impressed with her interest and ability in speaking Spanish.
My daughter who is bi-lingual from birth does the same thing. She first started correcting my accent and now tells me “speak English” when I try. It’s normal
