The fact that she thinks making these sensory bins are making her a better more interactive mother. could buy a bag of those colored plastic bears and teach Emma colors face to face but she’d rather do crafts and keep her busy on her own. I also think color sensory bins would be more appropriate for Emma right now than a slew of animals she doesn’t even understand yet. I doubt she actually sits next to her and PROPERLY teaches her the animals she’s playing with.
Also????? The sand is $12 for 2lbs and they recommend 5lbs.. So that’s $36 for sand and $11 for the fencing and $9 for the animals. OH, the farmhouse was $25 too.. That’s $81 to keep Emma busy for a small amount of time. Seriously? That’s insane to me.
Did y'all see her Instagram picture of Emma playing with her sensory bins? Rash was literally across the house, probably lazing on the sofa and took a picture saying something like "she's STILL playing with this and it's been 35 minutes".
So for the bold part... No she's NOT interacting with Emma nor sitting anywhere near her to teach her a damn thing. And Emma's been "obsessed" and she's been playing completely by herself for over a half hour.
Nope! I’ve been seeing the red flags for months now.

It’s hard to tell because they aren’t doing the activities normal parents do with their toddlers. She’s definitely delayed, but I suspect much of it is due to their parenting.
Seriously! I'm not a parent, but does the average parent do sensory activities with their child? I don't know of anyone in my life who does this with their children. And they are smart and average kids!
I just give my kid a bag of rice to play with and let me eat in peace An average parent wouldn't have the time to set this up and then to clean up properly.
I gave my 14month old a bowl of water, some pine cones from our backyard, a spoon, and a small colander today. She played for 20 minutes. That's the type of sensory shit normal parents do - not spend $90 on one activity.

At the same age my kids favourite thing was a bowl of soapy water, a bowl of clean water and a bunch of plastic stuff - spoons, cups, bowls, toys and a towel - theyd “wash” stuff, rinse it and dry it. Mimicking real life wash dishes.
Rachelle has all the time in the world to teach Emma but she just does things to keep her busy for a few minutes. She should be playing with the animals with her. Teaching her the actual names of the animals not just the sounds they make! Can Emma even point to her body parts yet? I saw Justin teaching her pat a cake, I did that with my kids when they were really little. I would just hold their hands and clap them together while I sang the song. For a “teacher” Rachelle sure doesn’t do a very good job teaching her kid.
I would think sensory bins, using that terminology, is more fit when you’re speaking of young babies, like 6-month olds who are just starting to grab things. You can make boxes with items of different textures, or fill water bottles with glitter and other things to stimulate their senses. But Emma is more than halfway to two. At this point, it’s just a sandbox, or a water table, or just toys. I don’t want to delve into it, but I honestly don’t think Emma is on the spectrum. I see a little kid who is finally getting out to run and is trying out new moves. Her shoes may be too tight, it wouldn’t surprise me. Rash said Emma was a size 5 when she got Emma the rain boots. My son was a 5 when he was 10 months old. Anyway, Rash calling these things sensory bins is kind of suggesting Emma has sensory issues, whether it’s true or not.
Does anybody think Emma looks a bit underweight? I'm no expert but she has quite skinny limbs? She looks bloated sometimes which could be due to poor diet. But she just doesn't look chubby at all (except for the cheeks but she was born like that) like how most toddlers look. I'm not sure if I'm the only one that has thought this though.. I wonder what her doctor thinks?

Or a wet cloth and lino/tiled floors....
Honestly, give the kid some kitchen utensils, dirt and water from the backyard and let her make mud pies or something. I can’t even comprehend almost $100 on an activity for 30 minutes!
I worked in special ed and my main concern with Emma is she has low facial expressions and hardly makes any eye contact. Rachelle needs to say to Emma, "Look at mommy" and then say the animal's name. She should make sure Emma is looking at her face as she's telling her the names..... and knock off the high pitched baby voice tone ! This child will soon be 2 years old! That just needs to stop now!
Emma's gait is concerning as well. Many disorders and spectrum characteristics come out as low muscle tone, walking/ running gait, gross motor skills.
I can't say for sure without a proper assessment, but there are characteristics that are concerning.
Does anyone know if speech therapy is still going on? If not, bad decision!!! She is very very behind.
AND GET THAT PACIFIER AWAY FROM HER!!! It discourages speech and messes with teeth! With a child that's already delayed this is grossly disturbing!!!
Maybe Rachelle will actually make her bed now that she has hideous beddys bedding! It’s so overpriced and it looks like it belongs in military barracks

At the preschool my grandchildren attended, the staff would sit a couple of bins of dry macaroni noodles on the table along with some old plastic bowls, spoons, big plastic cups or ladles. The kids had a ball filling up cups, stirring, pouring and serving dry macaroni noodles. Who'dve thunk it?!!

Well, looks like someone got a Beddy’s sponsorship. New video coming soon...

Beddys for adults lol. I’ve only seen it on CHILDREN’s beds!! How lazy are you trashy??? Pretty damn lazy... lowest of laziness now!
Great idea for disabled adults and CHILDREN!
What's a beddy???

Beddys is an adult sleeping bag, it is a giant sleeping bag for beds. It is great for kids or bunk beds but as an adult it is laziness.
On a side night, the Costco haul was sad and pitiful. Stop pushing Hello Fresh, the company has a horrible customer service. And trashy complained about her back hurting again and stated she is going to lay in bed for rest of the night and she has been laying around all day.
Her “Costco postpartum haul” was any other normal family’s weekly Costco trip minus real and fresh food.. she’s pathetic. And she said she wasn’t stocking up as much because the hospital provides mostly everything, yet she ordered that $100 frida mom box.
I have always been 100000% turned off from Beddy’s from the very first time I saw it advertised a few years ago. I get that it’s practical to an extent for kids but it just seems so stupid to me. Kids can make beds, it’s not the end of the world. Or imagine heading to the bedroom for a romantic night and hearing the ultra sexy sound of the bed zipper unzipping LMAO. And they look PAPER thin. I sound like an unreasonable hater but I can’t stand seeing Beddy’s for some reason.
Back to Rachelle, was there ever any update on Baby B’s heart? I remember there being talk on here about an update video where people were saying she almost seemed upset that there *wasn’t* as big of a problem as they thought but I don’t actually remember what they said or if they’ve said anything since.
