Wish we had a d rive in. Mini CDC is too young to sit thru a real film w/o getting me puched out or thrown out because of his yelling and getting up

 

[snickerd3]

I forsee a lot of hey Mom can I borrow $10 to go to the movies in my future...minisnick LOVES movies.

draw out salve... I swear no one uses that anymore... it is a wonderful thing

where does one find draw out salve...walgreens? I've never seen it at our walmart

 

[cdcengineer]

It'll be more than $10. A movie is already above that in some theaters

I remember when you could go to the movies for $30 for 2 people with popcorn and soda..... Sounds like the future

 

[Master slacker]

I remember student tickets being $3.75 with the regular price being $5.

I have seen it at CVS and Walgreens... I only shop at Walmart if I have no choice in the matter so I'm not sure about there... it's also called ichthammol ointment...

it smells nasty, and you really don't need a lot of it... just the smallest amount where the splinter is, put a bandaid on it, and wait a few hours... depending on how deep the splinter is...

there is some controversy with it, but that is because people claim that it can get cancer and tumors out of your body... I don't know about that, but I can attest to the splinters!

around here $10 will get you into a matinee showing AND a popcorn/soda combo.

Thanks. I'll have to look for that stuff. Minisnick is a little klutzy like myself so I'm sure the splinters will be a frequent thing.

my parents have a doorway where our heights were measured growing up...minisnick gets marked there everytime we visit too. Between easter and this past weekend he grew over 2.5 inches. I knew he hit a growh spurt but seeing it on the wall was a wow momment. Glad it is shorts season.

that 2.5 inches was enough for him to reach the rings by himself at the park and not need one of us to lift him yesterday...which he got all excited about.

probably needs another 2 inches to use the swings the way he swings at that park...he puts his tummy on the seat and swings that way...he will not sit with his butt on the seat.

I've heard of terrible 2's, but WTF. Mini CDC hasn't gotten any better since turning 3. This terrible 2's deal was a bit misleading

 

[FLBuff PE]

They start around 30 minutes after birth, and last till they graduate from college.

 

[knight1fox3]

^ see....not convincing at all...

 

[snickerd3]

woohoo...some progress has been made with potty training...at least when it pertains to bathtime. Playtime ends, the water is drained and the washing commences when minisnick pees in the bathtub. Last night he climbed out of the tub TWICE to use the potty. This is the second bathtub time with such accomplishments....only wish it would click the rest of the time.

 

[kevo_55]

^^ That's good news!!!

Lately, we've been finding that whenever mini-kevo does a #1 or #2 in her diaper she clapps her hands. We didn't know why she was clapping at first but now we think it's pretty funny!!

 

[snickerd3]

tells are helpful for figuring out if a change is needed. definitely easier than chasing them down for poop checks.

 

[YMZ PE]

Agreed. I made a habit out of picking up Mini YMZ and Baby YMZ and sniffing their pant bottoms to see if I could smell anything. Clapping would have been a much more convenient way to tell.

That's some good progress, snick! It shows he can at least tell when he needs to go.

Sounds like he's ready fo showers.

My two boys are 18 months apart. When they were toddlers (i.e. could stand safely in the tub/shower), I'd just hop in the shower with them. Wash one and then pass him off to mom. Then I'd wash the second one and send him out, too. It got my shower out fo the way at the same time. If mom wasn't home, I wrap the first one in a towel and tell him to wait until the second one was done. I'd take a navy shower and then we'd all get dried off and dressed.

Of course, where they're both boys, this meant that shower duty was my job. My wife was working nights at the time, so I had bedtime duty anyway. It worked pretty efficiently until they could hit the showers on their own.

 

[snickerd3]

we've done the shower thing for awhile already since the main bathroom is just a shower...but mr snick had just taken a shower a couple hrs earlier and didn't want another one. We usually go back and forth with the shower and tub so minisnick can get some playtime in the tub too.

Wow, now I'm REALLY sold! <_<
