Persimmons. I know they're available at least in the bay area because I had them when I lived there briefly, but have never found them in my regular home in the pacific northwest. I also don't remember them as a kid growing up in Tennessee.
A night light that turns on automatically as it gets dark. No more stumbling around when I have to pee in the middle of the night.

Parenting. Before I had kids I was often judgmental of parents, but now I've realized all the things I didn't take into account and all the things you just don't have control over. In my case, I was not expecting to be a single parent, there was the pandemic, and I did not factor in how impactful the lack of sleep and autonomy would be.
Yes, that may be the answer. He's getting help through early intervention and on the waitlist to get tested for autism so see if that's what's causing his picky eating. Luckily his pediatrician is not urgently concerned about his diet because he's growing well enough and seems healthy, but since I've stopped breastfeeding I've been keeping track of what foods he's been eating and noticed how few vitamins are in all the things he'll eat.
That's a good idea. It's rare, but sometimes he will nibble on banana chips.
Not with real food, but I have saved the mcnuggets box and tried giving him other kinds of chicken nuggets. He nibbled on a couple and then made a look like "well this whole batch is messed up."
He's a super picky eater. I serve him a wide variety but the only things he'll actually eat are the more predictable, processed stuff so I'm trying to make sure he's at least getting all the vitamins and nutrients he needs.
Just ordered some. Thank you!
