comicsans I totally get that. We went through something similar with H when he was younger. We went screen free for a week at a time when it got bad (more torture for me than him) but he did eventually grow out of it. I wouldn't be introducing anything new either in that situation. Hopefully this phase passes for you soon.

At least he should go to kindergarten next year and it won’t be an all day battle 😄 Last week after vaccines he had nightmares and ran out his room yelling something about I was almost on the next level, but I couldn’t beat it! He’s intense.

If anyone wants books for gifts, Scholastic is doing ship to home orders now so you can order through my class but have it shipped to your house I believe. They have great prices.

comicsans, I'm pretty much afraid of the same thing with DS. We'll see if he's ready for his birthday.

We have the code-a-pillar or whatever it's called but it isn't a big hit with our kids. We did get the Osmo coding kit last week though and the kids love it. It involves a tablet and is a bit of an investment, but I highly recommend everything Osmo. Eta: osmo goes on sale for black Friday, prime day, etc so we have never paid full price.

We will handle the switch much like we handle the iPad. You can set timers/ alarms for when screen time is up, there’s a passcode that I have to enter, etc... so he has to ask for time and usually it has to be earned. Works for us.

My kids want a barbie dream house, but they already have a couple of princess castles and doll houses, so I don't think it will happen. We will probably do some legos since they really seem to like the set hat Dd1 got for her birthday.
This will be the 1st time in almost 20 years that I won't be going out to do Black Friday shopping, and will be doing it completely online.

We're going to get DS a sled and some other toys for the snow. I also just bought cozy winter socks for some family friends we exchange small gifts with.

We can track him, call him when it’s time to come in, he can call us, take pictures and play games on it. It’s allowed us to let him out to play a lot more than we normally would (he doesn’t go far and it’s to the end of the street) but it’s great for telling him to come home for dinner ha ha. It also has school mode so the games/calls etc are disabled and they only can use it for the time.

lulu that looks awesome but way more than I want to spend. I'm looking at cheaper versions with similar functionality. activebaby I didn't know they made a Fitbit for kids. I'll take a look.

I started to panic because I was going too fast so I decided to jump off 🥴 It was not a good look when we we went down the shore the next day and I had bandages everywhere 🤣

I just went down an early morning Amazon hole and bought DD a bunch of cute outfits for her American girl doll. Including a Christmas ensemble I'm thinking she can open on Christmas eve. It's so cute I think i was enjoying looking at the stuff more than she would😂

DD wants an Elsa styling head. Walmart has one today for $10, but apparently only in store. Amazon has a deluxe version of $20 and that sounds better than having to go to Walmart.

Does your Walmart do curbside? I have the app and get anything I need there that way. I hate going into Walmart these days.
