longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 09/09/2026When they demonstrated an ability to climb/fall out of the crib. Maybe 1.5-2? They are 9 and 13 now, so that period of time is hazy. 011
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 09/09/2026First kid we successfully convinced that he couldn’t get out of bed unless he called for us, except to go to the bathroom. Second kid we had no such luck even a tiny little bit. 110
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 02/09/2026You could assign colors for types of grey, like purple is for road asphalt, yellow is for sidewalk cement. Or something. 120
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Maybe double the amount of snack that you think is reasonable. 110
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Using a specific number word to mean “many” was one of my favorites of toddlerhood. Mine really wanted lots of… something, and when I asked how many he said “2!” 010

longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 11/08/2026If they’re still making shows, this might’ve changed. My youngest is 9, so it’s been a while since I’ve watched. The engineer girl fixes all the things (which is cool!), but mostly within the Octonauts’ main ship/base. 140
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 11/08/2026My only gripe with Octobauts is that only the boys go on adventures (90% of the time). Otherwise it is amazing. 230
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 05/08/2026If the problem is staying asleep, time release melatonin helps me. I still frequently wake up (not refreshed) around 5 am and try to fall back asleep, but it’s better than without the time release.Exercising during the day helps me too. 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 29/07/2026It took me a few days to reach a human. Calling in the morning was better than pm or lunch time. 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 29/07/2026This has happened to me.With enough persistence, you can get through to the IRS. Once you get a person, they’re usually very helpful. I found it best to call, put in headphones, then do lots of tasks that were fine if they were interrupted. 100
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 27/07/2026That seems mostly reasonable. It’s about 16 ounces a day. Of course, for every person who drank 0 coffee, someone would need to drink 32 ounces, which is a lot. 010

longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Craft stores have egg dye. Found by accident. 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 22/03/2026The Scarlet Letter in 6th grade. I used a dictionary a lot. 021
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 06/03/2026Melted cheese with some Dijon mustard. Chile does mashed avocado, mayonnaise, and a spicy ketchup. I’m not quite recommending it. 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 04/03/2026All the butter off the biscuit! My kids would bite the frosting off the top of donuts at that age. 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 13/02/2026And the sewer and water access fees? That’s way more capacity planned to be used than it was as a warehouse. 040
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 26/01/2026I can’t remember, but exact same text with the awkward text about moving toward message. 0240
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 26/01/2026They also posted on one of the local reddits 2231
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 16/01/2026They also have week long summer camps that are more fun than competitive. Registration hasn’t opened yet (I think?) but it is only medium cut throat to sign up. 020
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 09/01/2026Beware. It’s not like chicken pox where you get it once and then cannot get it again. It is like a cold where there are many variations and each one only protects you against that variation. 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 09/12/2025I’m not sure there are enough likes for me to give this. 000
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 05/12/2025Don’t mess up the things that Carter got right (changes in public works, coordinated response to homeless encampments, relationship with police department). Then work on increasing housing starts. 040
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Editing, or even better yet asked your child to write the note. Clearly should read more carefully. 110
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 02/12/2025Hahahahaha! I’m glad the teacher wrote you a note instead of expecting the kid to successfully deliver the message. :) 110
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 16/11/2025And sometimes they are crying because the want the apple / why would you ever give them the apple they hate all apples always. At the same time. 000
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 05/11/2025Umm…Is the loon statue the loved building? 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Hey now! We occasionally send them a sternly worded letter in the mail. 030
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 14/10/2025Bribe the younger ones with an alternative special activity that the older one come with or do? 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 13/10/2025We had to check our really good stick for the kiddo. It was about 5’. Shorter sticks might be ok for a carryon? 020
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 13/10/2025You need to check the sticks. If they are big. 110
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 31/07/2025It gets better. They are just having amnesia of what the day-to-day was like when their kids were little. 120
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 26/07/2025The age when the children both want/don’t-want something simultaneously is both soooo long and eventually done. 010
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 20/07/2025Treating in-party losers as leaders in development is so perfect. I even thought that the person who conceded but then ran should have ran for county commissioner next. That was before un-conceding. So much political and human capital in the unchosen candidates. 110
longblooming.bsky.social @longblooming.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Yes! One camp I tried 3 or 4 years in a row to get in (succeeded this year!). Some near me are super popular and sell out that fast, others are slower, especially through parks and rec. 010
