Hi! We have two sons - one is a summer birthday June, and the other is May. Would love any advice on sending our son to kinder on time and him being on the younger side, or holding him back and him being much older. There are no signs around academics or social that would come into play. Hoping for those moms with older kids to offer advice who have been through it!

Summer Baby - send to kinder or no? -
Kindergarten Help!Agree with the above! Have patience for the first 1-4 months. I think the transition depends on if your child has been in a full time daycare, or more like a mother's day out. Our son still napped (shocking) so we had a bit of a transition as he was exhausted! There were LOTS of emotions those first couple of months. I always greeted him at the bus or as soon as he walked in with a snack with some type of protein, he was starving.
Also, it helps to have a few familiar faces before they start the year. If you know any kids that will be going to kinder with yours I would get together with them.

Lice help!!The dreaded lice...all 3 of my children HAD lice and little did I know I had it as well. My husband of course got away without having it! Lice Fairies in Austin TX was a life saver... we went into the salon and they removed everyone's lice.

Papasan Chair??@OrangeMouse Are you wanting the chair inside or outside? We LOVE our world market one, and its a GREAT price. Urban outfitters also has a good one but its more expensive, I believe like $279 and the world market is $99.

Weaning off steroid, specifically floventHi! Our little girl was put on a steroid inhaler "flovent" after having a few respiratory viruses and RSV. We worked with a pulmonologist and he recommended flovent 2 times daily. I did it for awhile, but I do NOT want my 9 month old on a steroid for the next 2 years. When asked about weaning, he was very defensive and tried to make me feel bad and not recommend it. Hoping someone has had experience with Flovent and getting off of it!!

Looking to cut down on alcohol in 2025.I typically like to start the year with a whole 30 in January that helps me kickstart my no drinking for January, and then I tend to cut back the next 6 months.
Mocktails are a “go to” at any dinner or social event. Also- as the above mom mentioned I like CBD drops, or CBD gummies. If you are local to Austin you can get them at people’s pharmacy!
