@Miss Sandman: Good night! :)



@Anarchist Beauty: Yep, a doodle~



@Gatorlec: Oh dear, that's not good! *^*;; You really should care about yourself!
That's fine! I'll get on it when you get it posted. :)
@Miss Sandman: Not a problem! *^* I save the avi so I'll start on it when I have a bit more free time. :)
@Miss Sandman: First
@Anarchist Beauty: Second
@Gatorlec: Third

The randomizer picked ya'll in this order so please pick an avi or somethin' you'd like doodled and I'll get to them as I can. *^*
@Gatorlec: I'm glad you haven't be worried about it. *^*
I've been being careful like I do when the flu/cold is around since I have a weaker immunity.
I just hate being sick in general. XD
@Gatorlec: I suppose you're right! I feel like it depends on the person at times though cause some seem to shut down instead of freaking out then some are smart about it. XD


@Miss Sandman: Yeah, it really kind of is but it really helped the first few months until he started sleeping on his own. You can warm up a blanket and swaddle instead of a bath! It makes them sleep too. XD It was my goto when kiddo was really fighting sleep. *^* I don't blame you there! The lotion is only really needed if they have dry skin. (My family has eczema so it's a must) Doing what you think is right for your little one is best! :)
@Anarchist Beauty: Lol Then you did really good! XD
Gotta love the best customers.

@Miss Sandman: That's good! Then just sticking with a routine helps the most. *^*
Yeah, I wasn't sure how old your little one was so that's why I mentioned if they were old enough and depending on what your doctor says. XD
Our doctor gave us the go-ahead when my kiddo was 3 months since he was acting interested in regular foods.
When he was a baby, we'd do a warm bath, lotion, clean diaper (if needed) around 7 pm, then we'd massage, put on PJs, swaddle, turn off most lights, and just talk to him. By about 7:30 pm we'd feed him while playing lullabies then I'd read to him after he finished eating. Then I'd rock him and snuggles. When he started acting like he was falling asleep, I'd lay him down in his crib. By about 8 pm he'd be sleeping. But as he got older the bedtime slowly got later. By the time he was 1yr old, he preferred to sleep at 9 pm so we just adjusted his schedule as he needed it. It takes time but it's worth it. Lol
@Anarchist Beauty: Lol Artists tend to not like their stuff as much so I think you're probably waaay better then you think. And just from the cute buttons in your sig, I think it's true. *^*

@Miss Sandman: Bedtimes tend to be a fight but it does get better as you figure out what they need. A warm bath, lotion, and massage before bed tend to help make them relax which makes it less of a fight. And depending on their age and what your doctors suggest, a bit of baby cereal before bed can help them keep a full tummy which helps them sleep better.
@Miss Sandman: Aw. Yeah, then she's probably just a bit extra tired. It happens. I'm sure she'll end up really hungry after a nap. :)

@Gatorlec: Oh, I know. But some people just over worry, which can't be helped with how the news has been. Hopefully, they'll realize that being calm would help more soon so it stops. *^* Our shops even offered to do drop-offs so it's started calming down big time here.

@Anarchist Beauty: Oh, that's really cool! XD I'm bad with that stuff so I toss together something just so my thread wasn't barebones. *^*
@Miss Sandman: Aw, poor dear! Hopefully a good rest will help. *^*
@Miss Sandman: Lmao Right? Mama instinct kicks in if it's quiet. *^*
I hope you manage! XD That was always a fight for me. They eat when they're hungry.


@Anarchist Beauty: Lol Very true! I used to have no problem with mouse work but after getting my hands on a tablet, that changed.
Ah, cool! What kind of banners do you do? *^*

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'll post the winners when we get to page 6.
@Miss Sandman: Not a problem. An' alright~ XD I remember those days with my kiddo, it was so nice after the first few nights when he slept through. (The first few made me freak out cause he didn't cry at his normal time...) Thank you! I'm doing quite a bit better now so hopefully, I'll be over it the next day or two. And thank you! We did. He made pasta. Lol

@Anarchist Beauty: Okay, cool! XD I could always add a moving bit or something to make it more noticeable. I planned on making the cat blink when I had the time but I hate doing art without my tablet, mouse work is too tedious. X3


@Anarchist Beauty: lol I can hope they don't bug anyone else. I probably should have thought about that.*^*


@Gatorlec: It's probably because they worried about being quarantined but over did it. I'm just glad it's not too bad here. Right? Our teachers are awesome. Like they really go above and beyond. I try to send little thank you gifts for them.

Super close to page 5!! Then I'll pick a random pep to draw... Maybe two~ So make sure to pick an avi or such that y'all might like drawn in case you win. XD
@Anarchist Beauty: Lmao I can totally see that!
What's funny is that I actually made these while being sleep deprived. #parentlife XD
@Anarchist Beauty: Oops... Sorry about that! I hadn't thought it might mess with anyone. My bad~ X'D
