    My 2 year old is potty training... she's done great - no accidents after the first weekend. She still wears a diaper at nap and overnight, though.

    Get her this morning and she had managed to take her wet diaper off, place it carefully upside down away from everything, and put her pants back on. Nothing in the crib or her clothes were wet. What in the world.

    We aren't potty training my 2yo yet, but lately she has sometimes decided she wants to take off her pajamas sometime during the night or early morning. So we will go in there and she's half undressed for who knows how long lol

    My 2 year old thinks he’s poopy when he farts. Perhaps he’s ready to start the magical journey of PT!

    Chaperone for 1st grade field trip today. Waiting in the classroom before loading buses and I’m being introduced to Danny Go! This is their way to get the kids moving.

    And we’re going to crayola experience in Orlando so it’s more of a playing field trip as opposed to a museum or show.

    I bought a 6 pack of football cards last weekend. My son conned me into giving him a pack and now he is obsessed. I told him every Sunday we can open a pack together, be our little thing. Funniest thing was him asking why doesn't this guy have a neck? But seriously wtf is up with this card he looks like a midget. I swear they enlarged his head.

    Hate HATE this fucker, there's a million of these kinds of videos where kids are supposed to dodge obstacles but my daughter will just get on a binge of sitting on the couch watching them not doing anything.

    Edit: You also see why he produces hundreds of them, they get millions of views in a matter of days.

    My 3 year old loves Danny go. We rock out to his videos in the car and do some dance parties at home.

    Digging in the dirt, Freeze dance, Dinosaur Dance are some classic hits

    Is a fake Christmas tree better for toddlers? I didn't want to spend the $350 or whatever. Wife says toddler will get into the water under a real one, mess with the needles, etc. She's probably right damn it. Obviously in the long run it is cheaper too. Guess I just need to sack up and buy the damn thing.

    If your kid is gonna get into it, they’re gonna do it whether it’s real or fake. In either case youll have to be adults and find a way to keep the kid from fucking with it.

    3 year old has started calling me “babe” instead of “Dada” or “Daddy.” I guess me and the wife should probably start using each other’s first names around him. It’s kind of hilarious when he does it in public, though.

    We had an early balsam hill tree, it was good quality. Bought it offseason on a sale. I gave it to my MIL and she still uses it. That said, they are way more expensive now. Your threshold for breaking even on a nice artificial tree is probably 4-5 years now. We buy real trees now because we have a large space to fill and I’m not dropping $2k on an artificial tree for that. Also we like the ambiance of a real tree.

    All that said, I don’t think there’s much of a reason to prioritize real versus artificial trees for toddlers other than allergy or other personal preference.

    Well the wife just bought a $400 fake tree from Home Depot. It is kinda nice not having to go to the tree farm and mess with lugging it inside from my truck and shit getting everywhere. On the whole though, I like a real tree better. I'm also not so sure my kid would have gotten all into it.

    My nearly 3.5 year old son desperately wants to pee standing up. He's so fucking bad at it. Just pisses everywhere. Yesterday his pissed all over both his hands, the wall, floor, and I'm pretty sure got 0 of it in the toilet

    My 4 year-old is the talker of our two, and he loves to talk to us while he pees standing up. He also has to turn and look at us while he’s talking so I’m constantly trying to not be an asshole to my child but also make sure he looks where he’s peeing.

    Since unlocking the ability to pee standing up, mine will be inside playing with whatever and excuse himself to go take a leak in the backyard instead of using the toilet. He’s 50/50 standing/sitting when that’s not an option. Pretty good aim so far
