Comment on Ughh!! What do you do with your toddler the morning after a sleepless night? by W

In your situation, I would get up if at all possible and do whatever it took to tire the older one out so that he would take a longer-than-normal nap. With B, protein usually spells the answer to expediency in the morning. Anything quick would due – beef jerky, if you have to. Cereal or any other breakfast low in protein turns him into a nut. At naptime, I would congratulate myself for making it that far, lay down with the baby, nurse and SLEEP for the entire time the kid(s) are out. I would feel like the walking dead the whole morning but the afternoon would fix it in time not to beat hubby up too much that night.

I have trouble with the words” tried to convince” at some point I must not have to be convinced I must Just DO, because I have been instructed by the leadership. How can I be convinced when I am in control and have my mind made up not to do what you say?
These issues must be addressed concerning control/authority. When you can not sustain / take care of / provide for yourself then someone must be in charge and if we relinquish this, then all parties can suffer. Also, when giving instruction there are consequences the follow failure to obey. This is the crux of your dilemma … what do I do to prove my ability to lead and confirm my authority.
In my upcoming book “Children Must” I will expound on the intricacies of discipline and reward in relationship to growth and progress in the socialization of children ages 2-6 with a focus on
continued growth toward obedience because of love.
Yours in the struggle.
Mr. Dad :^)

I voted for the “Mr. Man” theme, because as young as the male babies or children are, they like to be respected as older than they are. I forgot about that, until recently, when I addressed a cute almost 2 year old as a “baby”. He became very indignant, turned around in his stroller, looked at me and said in a loud clear voice, “I am NOT a baby!” Well, excuse me! LOL Happy Birthday, Mr. young man, Jonah!
Love,
Great Auntie Diane

I also came across a “block party” idea that looks really cute.

Cute shots, and great with a phone. I like the one with the hoop – problem solving is big with our boys too.

Hi Friend! I hope you’re well. We haven’t tried it, but some of the other almond products I’ve looked at have been processed with tree nuts or peanuts, so I decided against them because of the peanut allergy. I like hemp products, but Marcus banned them from the house. I’ll check it out, maybe OLG will like it.

Have you tried Blue Diamond almond milk? I like the original unsweetened. Trader Joe’s is the cheapest I’ve found it.
