In one of Parenti's talks he refered to his son (who was still a babe at the time) as a "Red Diaper Baby". I thought it was amusing. Just trying it out.

Anyway folks, how's the fam? How are you?

    I had tubes in my ears twice as a kid but i only remember stuff like the hospital and getting ice cream not whether i slept better

    My kid's trying to shed their nap and it's a tough transition for my partner who is used to a little break during the day. Not to mention the fact that the kid clearly needs the nap and so they get cranky as all hell in the afternoon

      Oh I dread the day when the naps end. We call it "Quiet Time" which I hope can transition from naps to chill music and independent play. That way we still get that chill period of the day.

        It's very not fun, but early bed times have been nice. We've had problems with them sleeping the whole night ourselves

          How much earlier are they going to bed? We wouldn't be surprised if our toddler drops her nap earlier than is typical.
