Hi, I have been lurking for along time but have never posted. I was wondering if anyone had ever given their child playdough on the airplane. We will be flying to Florida from Seattle in May with a 25 month old and I was thinking about entertaining him for awhile that way. Has anyone tried that?...

What is it with three year olds and band-aids? It seems like nearly every 3yo I've met has gone through this stage. Obviously from my post, guess where we are right now. He has bandaids on both knees, ankles, and elbows. Apparently he likes symmetry. He even wanted one on his nose like the...

I have a SIL (DH's sister) who sends thank you notes for *all* gifts, including those opened and thanked for in person. I know it's considered unnecessary by the etiquette gurus, and no one else I know sends me notes in that situation, so I don't send them to anyone either, including her. My...

Hi All, For those of you who wash cloth- what method do you use? I have the method from weebees.com, but it seems like it calls for an awful lot of cycles. I have purchased Chinese prefolds from weebees and want to identify the best method for keeping them in good shape - I'd like to use them...

Hi, I'm looking for an outfit for a newborn that has the fold-over cuffs on the ends of long sleeves to prevent the baby from scratching his face. I want an outfit with legs, not a gown/sac type thing. I'd prefer it to be footed as well (or have fold-over cuffs at the ankle too). I've been...

Argh! In searching for a Jewish name with a "z" in it I discovered the author Anzia Yezierska (1885-1970). I like the name Anzia but I simply cannot find out the meaning and derivation of it. Can anyone here help me? I am thinking it is probably Russian or Polish but I can't seem to prove that...

Any hints on how to get a child under the blanket when she sleeps? She kicks her feet when it's on her when she's awake, and seems to eventually do so at night too. I've got her bundled quite a bit at night. I know that she'll eventually grow out of it, but if I can help in the transition, I'd...

i'm wondering what activities you do/did with your 15 month old during the day, especially for a very active/busy toddler. can you outline a typical day when you are at home for most of the day? -- elizabeth (in australia) DS - born 20-aug-02

Well we have decided to get a double stroller that makes me happy, since I don't like the two I have now (long story if you don't already know it). But since we're moving in a month and ended up buying a home in the mountains, on a rugged dirt road, I've realized that I"m going to need something...

My nephew is 10 months old and was vomiting for two days and had diarrhea for the second day, so severe he ended up hospitalized overnight. He's home now and doing better. I got an email from MIL saying they were on their way out to pick up Gatorade and Kool-aid for him, as he seems not to like...

In the course of the x-posted thread, I came accross this article which brings some of the important things about children's nurturing into focus as it relates to the gender of the person who is nuturing the child. I suspect it might be of special interest to those here who are...
