    Going through a particularly rough one right now with our near 3 year old. He randomly decided he's done with his crib about a week ago and will not sleep there anymore. All previous techniques that worked aren't, so we've been forced to abandon them. The screaming sessions are so loud and prolonged that I think we'd get CPS called on us if we didn't intervene. He's slept in the little tipi in his room for small stretches but mostly with us. Tried to wait it out but giving in and converting the crib to a toddler bed today, because we really don't know what else to try. Not looking forward to managing the escapes, but we had a really good run

    went through a similar fight when we moved our kid out of a crib. had to go through a process of letting her sleep with us, to moving her to a sleep pad on the floor in our room, to putting her to bed in her room then letting her move to the sleep pad when she woke up two hours later, to finally now where she stays the night in her bed. Took many months. Always started with the same bedtime process though, just modified where she was allowed to go to sleep.

    My kids start 2nd grade and kindergarten tomorrow. This is the first time “long days, short years” has hit home.

    I want to fast forward a lot out of fear, but I hope they understand how much I love them.

    Had to do this every night for my daughter when she was younger (like 4 or 5 maybe). Didnt matter how tired i was, she wouldn't give me a pass. Eventually it fell to the wayside and it's been years

    She's 9 now and is already anti affection (unless she initiates it) and won't say "I love you" anymore :tebow: But a couple nights ago she spontaneously asked me to lay next to her and tell her a story and it was awesome.

    so our 4 year old has now decided he wants to pee standing up which is fine, but still seems to be wrapping his head around that you can only do this if you arent going to take a shit too. almost had an issue this morning and he had to jump mid-stream onto the toilet (with the seat up) to take what ended up being an adult sized turd. not sure how he didnt fall in, but he seems to have good balance at least

    So we took the kids to the Bucs training camp yesterday and we saw a guy there wearing an Optimus Prime helmet that he painted up in Bucs colors. My 7 yr old son, who is this perfect blend of disarming sweetness and shameless confidence, managed to talk the guy into giving him the helmet.

    That sounds even more expensive, I'd have a very hard time keeping that if it was free and if I were you unless the guy basically forced it on me and then ran away so I couldn't give it back.

    oldest started Kindergarten today which I am still not ready for. mainly because I just want him to be more care-free for even longer and not have to worry around structure. I know it's good and the school is good and all - but it's a real 'not turning back now' moment.

    Also when did you go from car seat to booster? He's 5.5 and really would help for faster pickup/dropoff for the one buckle. thats not a good reason to switch but it crossed my mind today in the car line.

    I think it depends on the weight. Mine is 6 and in 1st grade but for the purposes of drop off and since he was right at the weight limit we switched to the booster seat so its easier for him unbuckle in the drop-off line.

    He fell off the couch into wooden coffee table. Head hit right on the edge. It was not as bad as wife let on. That and it has probably already started to subside.

    edit: was standing on couch and his forehead broke the fall on this table edge.
