Because "Parent" is a 24/7 job—and we’re right there with you.

I'm Dr. Kelsie Oatmen. If my house was anything like yours this morning, it was probably a mix of lost shoes, spilled snacks, and a snotty nose or two. As a mom of three, I know that parenthood is beautiful. However, I also know it’s hectic, it’s exhausting, and sometimes, it’s plain scary.

That's why at Casas Pediatrics we are always here for you. There are no phone trees, someone is always available to talk when you need us most. You can even schedule appointments at all hours of the day using our portal app.

Being trusted with your child’s health is the highest honor I can think of. I aim to provide top-tier, quality care, but in an atmosphere that puts your family at ease—friendly, caring, and casual.

Welcome to Casas Pediatrics - It’s a privilege to partner with you in this crazy journey called parenthood. I am accepting new patients at Casas Pediatrics for all your family’s questions and pediatric needs, more information:

Believe it or not, this guy can be a picky eater! Kids enter peak picky eating between 2 and 6 years old. Young kids may use their food choices to exert control and slow growth rates at this age often curb appetites. While this picky phase is normal, we still need to be careful not to build bad habits. If a kiddo learns they can refuse dinner to get their preferred foods, then that picky toddler turns into a picky adolescent!

With a 2 and 3 year old at home we are in the thick of picky eating. The two year old is a work in progress, but the 3 year old is turning into a solid eater. Stay strong out there toddler parents, consistency counts! Below are the mealtime rules in our house, I hope this helps!
-The kids eat what we eat, we never make them a separate meal. We may add some fruit or bread we know they will eat.
-When their preferred foods have been eaten, they need to eat some of the main meal before they get more of what they want. The 3 year old needs to eat several bites, the 2 year old just needs to TRY it
- Dinner lasts 30-40 minutes tops. There is no arguing or fighting. If they try the foods they get the seconds they want. If they don't, no more food that night.
-We do give them a sippy cup of milk after dinner to fill any tummy holes.

Girly's first manicure! Now that we are a family of 5, its harder to be intentional about spending one on one time with each child. While family time is important, I want my kids to feel sought after and loved as individuals. Dedicated attention can also increase confidence and strengthen emotional, social and communication skills.

Number one and I went for a manicure at her request! She was thrilled, absolutely living her best life. But more often our one on one time with the kids is more simple. Taking just one kiddo to run errands. Doing a special activity while the others nap. Leaving the other kids home with one parent to take a kid to swim lessons solo. At the end of the day, we all get to come together for dinner and bedtime. Hang in there all of you in the beautiful chaos and enjoy getting to know what makes all your babies special!

Took the big kids on their first Jammie Run! What is that you ask? Only the best idea ever. My MA does this with her kiddos and shared the tradition with me and my family. After dinner we got the kids dressed in jammies and went for an ice cream run before bed. With the addition of the third baby I have been using more screen time than I would like to pass the time. Instead of putting a movie on before bed we decided to make some fun memories with a jammie run. I realize I'm exchanging screen time for sugar, but you know, whatever :) The kids loved it and I anticipate more jammie runs in our future!

Yesterday my 2 year old walked into the kitchen while I was making breakfast and asked, "I cook?" Our older two love being involved in the kitchen. I think its a great way for them to get involved in the work of the house and gain skills and confidence. Its also an opportunity to be directly involved in making and preparing their food. The investment in their meal can help them try new things, they want to try what they made! We let them use, to some degree, nearly all kitchen tools and appliances while supervised. Its a great way to teach them to respect the hot stove and sharp knives. Pick up a stool and get your kiddos started!

We are deep into sleep training at our house! The baby is 10 weeks old and refuses to sleep in her own. Good thing she is cute! I highly recommend the book "Precious Little Sleep" by Alexis Dubief. I have pulled this book out with all three of my children and ended up using different methods to achieve independent sleep for all of them. The current nugget is a BIG cuddler so we are working on gradual weaning of our presence as she falls asleep. Starting to see some progress after a few days! Here is some encouragement to all of you in the same boat!

My precious daughter is so intelligent that I sometimes forget she is only 3 years old. While pushing her to be independent and confident, I sometimes find myself setting expectations that she is not developmentally ready to meet.

Going potty, for example, was turning into a painstakingly slow, defiant and adversarial event. When asked to use the potty independently she will forget to wipe, flush etc and then fib to us about it only for us to find a nice surprise later. When I joined her in the potty, I would be frustrated by her slow pace and lack of focus.

I turned to a good friend for advise who reminded me she likely still needs more support. I implemented the strategies below and our potty time has become much more pleasant and time efficient, and I still feel like I am fostering her independence. I hope this helps for anyone in this phase!

Be Present: While she is capable of going to the bathroom on her own, she is rarely able to complete all the steps on her own in a time efficient manner. She forgets steps, wants to rush back to play or just gets distracted by bath toys. I realized she is not quite ready for bathroom privacy and still needs some coaching.

Visual Prompts: We posted the pictured sign in the bathroom. I explained it to my daughter and she was able to explain it back to me. Now, instead of me telling her what to do, I can simply ask, "what's next?" She can take a look at her sign and execute on her own. Then I get to praise her! Sometimes she even checks her sign without prompting which is helping her gain bathroom independence.

Time Challenges: She wants to do everything by herself like a big girl, but sometimes we are moving at the pace of molasses. Luckily, she loves a good time challenge. Phrases such as, "do you think you can finish wiping before I count to 10?" and "I'm going to flush before you do..." all get her moving! And when she beats me/the clock to the task she is all smiles.
