Good luck for your interview! Proximity always helps, make sure you play that one up in the interview.

That's so cute!!

very nice 🙂

I haven't gone to the beach yet to see stars, I hope it will be nice. Can't be as bad as all the light pollution I saw in the inner city.

I'm the same, I go into doing the new thing mode

the thing is, i get told/implication , is that their thing is both urgent and important , so the feeling of urgency gets me every time.

anyone with an ounce of self awareness would never want you to drop what you are doing

I wonder if the habit of people expecting messages returned near instantly has bled into other aspects of life

Ah, I was out of the loop. Loved him in Top Secret, 11yo me thought it was the funniest thing ever. RIP man.

He played my favourite character in Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang

So sad.

You’ll always be remembered Iceman.

I liked his role in The Salton Sea.

Hell yeaaaah get dat pizza!

That feels a bit like an optical illusion, cool!

thank you guys 🙂

it reminds me of a fingerprint

It's hard, for sure. I experimented with lots of stuff. There was an aquarium DVD with soft dreamy classical music that was mesmerising, and I used to play it before bed. It went for about 45 minutes and came to signal "bedtime" when it was over. They loved that until it stopped working and I never found a replacement :( I found a bath before bed was a no go, as they seemed refreshed and revitalised by it and were actually harder to get to settle. I also experimented with lavender oil spray (not the aerosol one, it doesn't smell nice) on the soft furnishings in the room or the straight oil on a cloth hanging near the bed, and lavender scented baby massage lotions administered via soothing back rub. I had night lights which cast patterns of slowly circling stars and moons or rippling water patterns on the roof. All of these things worked to varying degrees. Elder turned out to be a "rain noises and mood lighting" kinda guy. In the end Miniest was having none of it. Nothing but my presence would put her to sleep. I'd put her in her bed and go to mine, only to wake up later and find she'd snuck in during the night and fallen asleep with her foot touching my leg so she'd know I was there. Sometimes I'd carry her sleeping form back to her bed a few times, only to find each time she'd woken up and snuck back lol. It was destroying both our sleep so in the end I just gave up and allowed it. It's so hard sometimes, finding their little bedtime thing. No advice to offer really but boy do I hear you! I hope you find your Tiniest's bedtime something and your sanity and sleep doesn't suffer!

When I was a kid I'd resist bed time because I didn't really feel safe that far away from my family. Once my parents went to bed that end of the house was safe, but when they were still up my bedroom felt very isolated. And the same thing happened in the morning - my sister and I would usually bring our clothes to the lounge room to get changed rather than be alone in our rooms.

If it is something like that he might be able to sleep closer to you and then move (or be moved) when you all go to bed? Or maybe if you have baby monitor you could set that back up so he feels more secure?

He doesn't want to miss out on the party all parents have when kids go to bed.

you can do this 💐

I 100% agree.

I couldn't give a flying fuck that you can't decide on what is, most of the time, a very obvious and popular position.

Your faux contrarian position is incredibly transparent. You aren't special because you have a quarter of a braincell.

You've hit on one of my pet peeves. Attention seeking behaviour.

Any particular subreddits that tick you off?
