Colors

I borrowed a colors-and-shapes story kit from the library for my 20-month-old daughter. I know she’s still young, but I’m trying to add a little more structure to our days through books and simple activities.

My original plan was to read a different book from the kit each day and highlight a different color each day—for example, red on Monday, blue on Tuesday, and so on. However, I’ve noticed that many parents on TikTok focus on one color for an entire week. Is introducing a different color each day too fast at this age, even if it’s only for playful exposure and I’m not expecting her to identify or master the colors right away? Would you recommend focusing on one color per day or one color per week?

My sons dad and I can't agree on potty training rules.

My sons dad and his girlfriend wanna keep my son in underwear all the time instead of pull ups for potty training. Then when they took him to me to mcdonalds he had an accident in the play place playground. Then my sons dad and his girlfriend got mad at me for putting him in a pull up instead of underware. Then I i had to change his outfit for a 2nd time cause i had to wash his hair in the mcdonalds bathroom sink cause his hair got sticky. His dad said "he does not usually have accidents. He is potty trained" i told him "no he is still in the process of being potty trained. He just had an accident. He is not potty trained." The girlfriend also kept trying to override me and said "he has underwear" when i handed my sons dad a pull up for our son later. I think she wanted to embarass me on purpose. The dad also acted weird when they left. I offered him the rest of the pack of pull ups and he said no then his girlfriend gave me a mean look and then he changed his mind and said yes and took them. This is so weird to me.
