Once I discovered I could roast them in the oven, I switched to mostly buying frozen

Since it sounds like he’s used to you or your wife being there, you can try slowly removing yourself. What we did with our kid is start with a parent sitting or laying next to the bed, then every few days moving a little closer to the bedroom door. We’d still stay until they fell asleep.
Our kid got most anxious when we got to the part where moving put us out of their room, so we did that step a little more slowly where we stayed at the entrance of the bedroom but would have to leave the room for increasingly longer periods of time (go get a book to read, go to the bathroom, etc). They struggle with anxiety in general though, so your kid may not have this hurdle.
We too keep books next to their bed which they can read or look at until they get sleepy. We also have a volcano lamp we turn on at night they can watch.
My sister in law is very hard to shop for, but she knits and crochets. She also makes kimchi throughout the year, so I painted the ingredients for kimchi on some stitch markers she can use with her knitting projects.
I make these in memory of my grandma every year when my family gets together for Christmas, following this recipe. The recipe makes 16 kolache, 12 with apricot filling and 4 with poppy seed filling
Outside garden is asleep til spring, but I still grow a few herbs and lettuce for our pet rabbit
Just in time to start my mystery knit along, I finished both yip yips. The knit eyes worked out really well. I’ve never laughed so much while knitting something, these were a really fun project
Remember those “Martians” from Sesame Street? A friend asked me to make a couple of these for their kid. My first one is on the left and the pattern photo is on the right. I’m going to try to knit some eye balls instead of using ping pongs, we’ll see how that goes
This came up unexpectedly and I’m waiting to see what it’ll be. I didn’t plant any squash or pumpkins this year. In fact I’ve never planted either in this garden bed. We affectionately call it our “pumquash” while we wait.
I have it under a greenhouse because we had our first frost warning this weekend, and I’d really like at least one fruit to mature so we can solve the mystery. This is the furthest along.
Today’s our first frost date, and I haven’t had a single ripe tomato yet. Time to break out the plant covers and cross my fingers.
I usually make green tomato relish. What are your favorite green tomato canning recipes?

Our favorites are broccoli, green beans and brussels sprouts. Take out of freezer, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, spread out on a cookie sheet, and bake at 425F (~220C) for 20-30 minutes turning once. For broccoli I usually bake 20 min, flip, then bake another 10 min.
Sometimes when there’s 5 minutes left I sprinkle some cheese on the veggies (usually parmesan or cheddar) and let it finish baking so the cheese melts and gets crispy.
