Y'allllll
all of a sudden, she's a big kid.
there was a 'surfing simulator' thing at the mall today. and she's fascinated by it. so we stand and watch these kids on it, and they're like 10 or 11. and this one girl is just rocking it out, spinning in circles hanging ten, crouching and things.
my little miss jumps up there and rides on that surfboard and actually manages to do a full spin around once. and she crouches down really low like the guy running it tells her to, and she does a hang ten.
then the guy is all 'do you want to rid a it faster and try it again?" and she shake her head, but is grinning like crazy.

Toby didn't want to go to sleep. So he switched the TV to Pandora, and then to his "dancing music" station. Which is basically all of this current pop/rock music, seeded from Walk The Moon, because I used to dance with him a lot to "Shut Up And Dance". Well, he drags me to the center of the living room and basically climbs me then essentially bops up and down in my arms until I "dance" with him (note, I "dance" like a white guy with an unwieldy weight in my arms because . . . well . . . yes), mainly spinning around and "dipping" him. And I'm very close to death after a song and a half because I'm horribly out of shape and I say no to more dancing, and then I suggest that he could dance by himself as i set him down.
Now, refresher, he doesn't talk much at all. More sounds and looks that words, words are sparse.
So, I set him down, I suggest he could dance by himself as I fall down onto the couch, and he says, "Not-wit-ouch-you, dada."
*blink blink* Me: "Not without me, huh?"
Him: "Yup!"
Me: "Well, I think you can dance by yourself."
Him: *grumpy/exasperated sigh* "Nah."
Y'all, I've got a teenager/toddler.

Every time I feel Sapling no these days, there is deeply exasperated sigh, and I have to try really hard not to giggle at it.

Ripley, 2.5, has become a total dick about brushing her teeth.
We have her brush then finish for her with actual brushing, but now she just walks around with the toothbrush no actual brushing happens.
To try and get her to do it I've been trying to use a timeout or wait for her to say she's ready for one of us to brush her teeth and finish before flossing.
But now she just takes the timeout and sits there waiting me out while I'm trying to wait her out and I'm pretty sure she has the upper hand here.
Speaking of brushing teeth, what's the recommendations you your all areas of the world regarding when to start with toothpaste and toothpaste with flouride?

Proper toothpaste when they get their adult teeth. Fluoride from the get go (its also in all toddler-toothpaste here)
Tried to nap with Tiny Wonder while I threw on Ratatouille for the boys. Under a blanket, back to the TV, clearly attempting to soak up some rest. So naturally, for one straight hour, Middle Guy went "Dad, look at me. Look at me, dad! Dad. Daddy. Daaaaad. Look dad. Dad look. Look, dad. Dad, you're not looking. Dad, see this! Daaaaad."
Another semester of this is gonna be *r-o-u-g-h*

I don't know what "proper toothpaste" is, but yeah, basically brushing with toothpaste from the very first tooth. I can't remember exactly if there was a time when not to use flouride toothpaste, but you should be using it pretty early. At least by 2? I think I remember earlier.
Kate just went to the dentist for a check up. They said to keep her on “kids” toothpaste. But since I’m on a well, she’s now drinking some of the fluoride water bottles to give her some fluoride.
The most common recommendation I encountered was to switch to fluoride toothpaste as soon as you're confident they won't just swallow it instead of spitting.
My 13-month old has been this way for a while, where he just constantly wants to be picked up and carried. Wife and I were in the kitchen cleaning up after dinner, and he's hanging off her legs whinging.
My 4 year old in the lounge room calls out "Come here [nickname]! I will help you!"
And he went.
Then she gave him part of her donut. Only after she'd licked off the icing, of course .
I don't know where he got the scorpions, or how he got them into my mattress.
We got a new TV a few days ago- cats put paid to the old one- and I wanted to see what the Switch looked like on it. So I brought it out and tried some stuff, it looks good.
This got the attention of my niece, who decided this was going to be the perfect time to decide to want to try games. So I talked with her mom, and we decided to start her on the original Super Mario. It took her a bit to pick up the buttons, but after an hour, she’s already reliably beating World 1-1 all on her own (she has a bit of trouble with the last pit, but... she’s working on 1-2 now.
Then she got a shot at Super Mario World, and she cleared a level of that (Yoshi’s Island 2) on her own.
She likes it so much we might be getting her her own Switch for her birthday, because now I can’t pry her off mine.
I can has cheezburger, yes?

i distinctly remember being good at mario aged 2.5, my parents got me a master system and game gear then a mega drive for xmas 1990 when i was 5
I've been up since 4am with a kid who thinks 4am is a perfectly good time to start dancing in her room.
(Probably could have just let her be, but the thumping around woke us up.)
When I was 3-4 I was called the One Man Rodeo by my brother who shared the room with me, due to middle of the night antics. I'm going to cross my fingers that my son didn't acquire that gene from me.
My boy is such a gentle soul. He's been putting his stuffed animals to bed after he wakes up. I hope the world doesn't drive too much of that kindness out of him.

Any of y'all fuck with those hiking backpack carriers for kids? What do you think of them?

My 14 month old is being super clingy.
He's also getting upset at various things he used to like. He likes listening to animal noises, but for the last week or so certain animals make him upset.
Same with various other loud noises.
I assume he's just generally cranky sue to teething.
Buy the deuter kid comfort. Super comfy for you and them.

1. I hope you like having the back of your head messed with.
2. 60% chance will not experience nature as they'll be passed the fuck out
3. Prepare for demanding of their human driven chariot
It was delayed a whole bunch, but now I've jumped through all the hoops, and with neg covid tests for the whole family we should be good to go to Bangkok tonight.
One more kid than the previous intercontinental relocation, and boy does covid playing havoc with international travel not make things easier.
Two weeks quarantine in a hotel, let's see how the kids deal with that .
This has been a wild ride. I want to say something about how great it'll be to be closer to extended family, but I don't know when travel restrictions will ease so it might be a while before that benefit manifests.
I don't know where he got the scorpions, or how he got them into my mattress.
So, I got hit was a migraine, so while attempting to not hurl my guts in the bathroom, Mini-Muzz says, "Oh, you don't feel well mommy? You should go to bed to feel better! You can sleep in my bed!"
And so I passed out in her bed (which is newer and more comfy than mine) and was only awoken by her giving me a kiss on the elbow, 'so I'll feel better'.

I have the cheaper Clevr one, and it works OK. We don't go on hard-core all-day hikes, though. Just a casual like 2-mile morning thing every other week or so.
Today teenage Lohan is going in for all his wisdom teeth to be removed along with one extra on the top on both sides for crowding. Then, in three weeks his braces finally go on. It's a stressful time to say the least, other than the cats I don't think any of us slept well last night.

Man. I have never been more amazed at this child.

Yeah, it barely tastes of mint? It's mild enough taste that they don't have to rinse their mouth afterwards. My kid likes the taste of this one https://www.jumbo.com/prodent-kids-0-6-jr-tandpasta-woezel--pip-75ml/208970STK/
I thought you rinsed to not have lingering fluoride. Either way nope I'm not an adult

My shoulders and arms have been getting a hell of a workout from Boing.
Boing is when she stands on couch and gets a Dad-assisted bounce that lets her touch the ceiling.
