"I don't need to go to the toilet! I don't need to! *has screaming meltdown*" 5 minutes later guess who pissed their pants? god damnit, she knows perfectly well how to use the toilet and when she needs it and she does it at nursery but as soon as we switch from pull up nappies at home it's nope, we're gonna regress

daughter is 16mo now and we’ve been going pantsless at home for a while, it’s a mix of going to the potty, peeing, and emptying it by herself to starting to piss on the floor and being weirded out so she starts backing to get away from it leading to a puddle at least a meter long… also I don’t know if I’ve bragged about his already but if you ask her “what sound does daddy make?” she blows fart noises. also if you ask her what sound she makes

my boy is starting to pull himself up on things and is able to get onto his feet by himself. once he's there all he can do is stand pretty much. hoping he'll start to figure out surfing soon. he keeps falling over though, i think he's had like 2 or 3 falls today? just leans over too much and whoops!

went and met my newest nephew today. poor little bugger has been in the nicu for the last week or so because he had some heart issues that were detected before he was botn, and now those are fine but his O2 levels aren’t where they need to be, so it sounds like he’ll be in there for at least another couple days he’s eating/pissing/shidding/farding/crying normally though, so i’m just waiting patiently for him to go home

i bet it's extra annoying to be in that room with him if his o2 levels are fucky. at the nicu my son was in they had audible alarms for everything, so if his stats dipped too low you'd hear a *bong ... bong ... bong* and if it was way too low you'd hear *BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP* and the nurse would run in. one time my wife was doing skin-to-skin with our son and it started picking up both their heartbeats on the monitor, so it'd start freaking out when it'd accidentally register 200bpm or whatever lmao. then go back to normal when it locked on his heart rhythm.

he’s up to normal-enough levels, he just can’t sustain them. dude is a couple days premature, so we’re all assuming it’ll improve with time, which all signs are pointing to he has to either way, i already have plans for him in his part in my world conquest

(as context, before they discharge a baby from the nicu they have to sit in a car seat for 90 minutes and their oxygen level can't drop during the test). he just refused to eat very well for about a month. still doesn't, he's chugging along at like 10-15th percentile weight i guess he's just a tiny dude.

i threw a ball backwards and forwards over a goal post at a park next to where we’re staying at the moment I biked there, he ran … and we got there and threw a ball. we passed that mf until it was barely possible to see and then I biked home thru these quiet suburban streets I grew up in a nation that revered rugby, at least when I was a kid. and tbh I like rugby except not quite enough to go out of my way to watch it but I do like that poo poo and so to conclude at some time that an american football is a superior passing object was difficult. I was not equipped to deal with this reality . but I had to learn and now I can accept that this disparate accounts of facts are a bistable reality

FAT32 SHAMER posted:I grew up watching rugby union and Gaelic, and yeah lol. American football slots right in there for me american football seems like a game between two coaches and the players are their chess pawns. almost like a game of strategy does my head in how often the play stops. sometimes you see these long plays where there is lots of passing and etc and it’s like “this was good football”, but that’s what rugby is like most of the time. at least good rugby rugby league is fun to play in person but imo boring to watch. rugby union when it’s good is one of the best sports to watch, because despite all of the great plays and stuff, those dudes are huge and make insane tackles etc. lol remember when jonah lomu came on the scene and literally ran over england? now pacific islanders are big in american football I believe? those genetics are insane. certain african genetics may be good for sprinting but when it comes to sheer volume as a human not many touch pacific islanders god. my son is a wee white boy and rugby was good until they got to puberty age and then gOD drat the boys from the side of town that have lots of islanders… you’d feel like a very bad parent putting your 12yo son in a rugby team when they’re playing island boys who are like 85kg at 13yo ..

oh yeah well my kid pooped in the potty too. he's so good at it he did it three times in an hour yesterday morning at daycare so they sent him home and we have to keep him here for today too. he did get some on his underwear on the last run to the potty which the daycare responded to by cutting off his favorite pair of dinosaur underwear. the admin claimed it was a big mess but the fact that there was zero poop marks anywhere in his jeans and he told me about what size it was (and he likes to exaggerate how much he poops)... yeah I'm not buying it being anything other than them taking the easy way out. I know they are down a float teacher because they hadn't been able to find someone to replace a teacher who just left despite having a month notice. we're switching to a new non-chain daycare with like a decade of immaculate inspection reports, but the slots don't open up until January. it sucks.

on a related note, if I am made ruler for a day one of my decrees will be that any piece of children's clothing which is sold as part of a multipack must also be offered for individual purchase (or a multipack of just that design) at roughly the same unit cost.

my boy learned a new trick today. when we put him down for a nap he just crawled to the edge of his crib and stood up until he started crying because he's not good at getting back down. one weird trick to avoid a nap. now i've got to stand him up in his pack and play and let his legs tire out before putting him down for a nap.

I dunno if he did it on purpose or if he was just coincidentally chewing on his arm, but junior mayo clinic coughed into his elbow today instead of directly into my eyeball and I wanna bottle that feeling.
