You're going to want to start throwing some of that stuff out ASAP, save some of course, but it's insane how quickly that art piles up.
We saved some art that was made out of Cheerios or something under her bed last summer and discovered there was an ant situation happening down there. Took some time to clean it out.
So definitely watch for anything made out of food or poop like that horse abomination*

Where is this child getting all this leg from.
Like
Every time we turn around we're needing to get more shorts and longer skirts and longer dresses because she just keeps getting more legs.
It's just mental. Lol
She's also SUPER EXCITED that tomorrow is 1 February, because that's her birthday month (cue mommy internal screaming)
My older daughter took a header into a fence sledding yesterday and got a very minor concussion. I feel bad for her because she's supposed to take a day off screens and reading and she'll hate that but hopefully some good audiobooks will tide her over.
She did get a CT scan and she thought the machine was cool, that's something.

I'm having a small but growing anxiety over for my kid's starts school in 3 weeks.
Going to be a dumb question but what happens if she shows up in... gasp, a black and not navy skirt?
I am in the business of saving lives.

Probably nothing but my anxiety isn't accepting logic right now.
Also hahaha they're actually navy.
They're just a different shade of navy than the shorts are. Because I dunno fuck me I guess.
I'm not coping well with all these doubts about school and none of them are logical or even grounded in reality. More just me being afraid of new situations and people and things.
Sometimes I’m jealous of people whose babies weren’t giants like ours. Our four month old was smaller than our first kid and he’s already almost 18 pounds. 🧱
Edit: also, registered the big kid for Kindergarten today and I swear I had to provide less documentation for my mortgage.

Hahaha oh fuck me
One of the uniform shirts we bought her is actually a size six, not four.
And the two skorts we bought are actually black and not navy.
I am very much not ok.
I had a panicked day trying to find Burpette skirts that would fit the day before school started as all the ones we ordered were vastly too big or small (and all the normal four year old sizes obviously sell out as every parent with a kid that age needs to go and buy new uniform at the same time)
Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
Yeah, uniforms are probably they only thing I'm not a fan of with my kids' school. I am very lucky that they are very flexible. Plain grey shirt (sky-high they've been less strict about the "plain" part this year), and blue pants/ skirts/ etc. Jeans are even ok.
My daughter is not a plain grey and blue girl, though. Her favorite workaround is blue skirt with very colorful tights.
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
I love my daughter, but good lord is she a pain in the ass in the morning. She’s like her mother that can’t wake up, only unlike her mother, she doesn’t hold back her anger and tears. She’s 100% gonna be the teenager I have to drag out of the house for school.
It’s exhausting.

I think I've opened the door to my kid's rooms maybe twice in the last year and found them still asleep. Usually their rooms are already half-trashed, and the toddler is naked, and we've heard them make two or three galloping trips to the restroom
My daughter was very chubby as a baby. She got rather lean recently and is a bit short. Turns out she was malnourished due to Celiac's, woops!
She seems to be getting a bit bigger now that she's eating properly. It's hard to tell, because my husband was small as a kid, so we thought she was just starting to take after him.
Her younger brother is about her and size right now. Just sightly shorter, but a lot huskier. He takes more after me.

I hear you.
My son woke up half an hour early today and despite our best efforts he wouldn't go back to sleep. As a result he's been in a foul mood all day, plus it's rained all day so I've not been able to take him out.
Conversely, my son goes to bed without fuss, falls asleep in 5 minutes, and wakes up happy and accommodating. Yeah, he wakes me up early around 6:00-6:30, but he’s not a dick about it.

a) At what age did you learn that addition/multiplication are commutative and subtraction/division are not?
b) At what age did you learn that 'commutative' was the word for it?
I only ask because the people teaching my 5 year old think he needs to know this word whereas it is my opinion that this is unnecessary and potentially confusing.

I'm 41 and I just had to look up the word "commutative" to write this post so there's your B answer. For the answer to A . . . I honestly don't remember, probably in that 5-7 range that beginning maths were taught.
So like, the properties that those functions have, I learned when we learned them in school in the first few years of school; the actual property name I learned at 41 years old at 7:44 am on February 2nd, 2021 as I watch my kid play with a noisy toy school bus and wish I was still sleeping.
I make art things! deviantART:Kalnaur ::: Origin: Kalnaur ::: UPlay: Kalnaur
This morning as my daughter went for her morning pee, she suddenly goes "sometimes I pee standing up!" And proceeds to demonstrate on her tiny toddler potty.
Child we just woke up I was not ready for that lol
I immediately forget the word commutative every time I learn what it means, my brain just spits it back out. Asking a five year old to try to learn it is cruel and unusual punishment for all involved.
My newly 5 year old has trouble counting past 12 (he usually puts 18 after 12, and just says *mumble*teen until 20 if you're counting with him). His school is fine with him knowing up until 10.

My school expects kids to be able to count up to 20 on their own when they're going to {Dutch variant of} 1st grade, so when they're almost 6. Seems like a kid who is just 5 still has plenty of time to learn numbers. Wouldn't worry about it. Little King can count to 20, but sometimes flips 17 and 19 (they are phonetically very similar in Dutch).

Feels bad every time we toss it, but at the same time, there's just so much
It has big:
Energy to me
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better

and I just bought a Crayola Paper maker thing for her birthday.
My plan is, turn the artwork back into pulp at some point and then she can make her own coloured paper to draw on again.
and again
and again.

I'm knackered.
I wish! I'm a big guy, my wife is short though, no idea how the kid came to be.
She's has just so much legs.

B: 35 years old
That roughly mirrors my wife's experience, give or take the odd year.
Which is to say she learned the word yesterday, when the 5 year old was expected to know it to answer his maths quiz questions.
I'm going to ask what commutative means, and reveal that I am not 5-7 years old.
I may or may not know how maths works though.
