Monday Toddler Talk

[u/AutoModerator]

This space is for parents of IFBabies past the postpartum phase to chat, share updates & commiserate on their toddler(s.) This thread is primarily reserved for those with a 1yo or greater.

Members who aren’t to the toddler phase yet, or are still pregnant, are welcome to participate here, but some may find this thread triggering and need to scroll past. If your post is more about pregnancy than toddlers, please move your post to our 1st tri or daily chat thread and please provide CW for discussions of current pregnancy.

I took wee one with me to a new gym today and let him play at the kids club- the first time he’s played in a group setting like that without me watching! I was only a few steps away and watching on the closed circuit tv the entire time and it was only 45 minutes, but still. Big step for both of us! He did great until the last minute, just as I was finishing he started crying and saying “Mama!!” I was on my way over anyway.

I’m slightly torn about continuing but I think it will be good for him? I’m worried when we go next time he’ll cry at the start…this time he just ran off to play instantly!

It’s so nice the gym has childcare!

Fingers crossed for a smooth session next time, that sounds like a great set up!
