My toddler (2.5 yo) asks questions a lot. Most of those is kinda re-stating the obvious. When we are driving in a car, taking a walk, pretty much any time we're outside or at home, she's constantly asking questions.. Sometimes she asks same question repeatedly even if you answer it the first time...

what are some good games for a 7 yr old. Im not talking educational. She has those and says most games she has now are babyish.

We've discovered our indoor-only cat has fleas. I have no idea how she got them, and I guess that isn't important. I did notice a stray male outside and I have no doubt he's infested, but she hasn't been outside. Anyway, we're on a mission to eradicate the fleas and I'm looking for suggestions. ...

Does anyone have this product? Is it any good? Is it different (for better or worse) than the Pad? With weekend sales starting, I was looking at both. OTOH, one side of me does wonder if it's good that (seemingly) everything has a "learning" component. I noticed on the Leapster a Frogger-like...

My aunt has asked me to help her buy Christmas presents for her grandkids. We have no idea what to get them as she hasn't and probably won't ask for a list. I haven't seen the kids in years and my aunt only sees them once (maybe twice) a year so we have no idea what their current interests...

I think Santa is considering bringing one of these for Alli this year. Any recommendations? -- Donna DeVore Metler Orff Music Specialist/Kindermusik Mother to Angel Brian Anthony 1/1/2002, 22 weeks, severe PE/HELLP And Allison Joy, 11/25/04 (35 weeks, PIH, Pre-term labor)

Baby's room has a big window that faces the street. This room is usually a bit colder than the other bedroom. I put her PJ's on, close the window and blinds and turn the fan to the lowest speed just for the white noise. Still she wakes up in the middle of the night. Since she's only 14 months old...

Verbatim (verscriptim?) from a note home from day care today. 'Also, was making ATOM BOMBS and TRAIN BOMBS with the blocks today, would you be able to talk to him about this.' Talking to him so long after the event seems to be the world's least effective method to me! And I'm pretty sure he's...

Hi, I am traveling very soon to Dominical Republic (all inclusive Riu Bambu resort) with my 17month old baby. Anyone could share their experiene in similar situation? Flight 4 hours, I cannot imagine my baby sitting still. We planning to take formula from here, but I hope we will be able to...

Or anyone that has been through this. TIA. Hi Ericka, We are going through the process of having Kara (DD3) tested formally through the school for any hidden learning disabilities. I have went through this with my oldest daughter, so I kind of remember what was involved, but it has been a while....

We're thinking about "Avery" for our boy due in May. He'll be our 2nd; our 1st is Eric. Eric will be about 2.5 years when our 2nd is born. I see that although Avery was once more popular as a boy's name than as a girl's name (USA Social Security data), its popularity as a girl's name has surged...

Remember the thread about the Chicago restauranteur who took hell for asking his patrons to control their children (via a nice little sign asking them to "behave" and use "inside voices")? Here's the follow-up: A parent who actually "gets...

Okay, you know when you're in the thick of something and you feel as if it's so thick that you are incapable of being creative? Well, here goes. My dd 11 is in a bad habit of putting her stick of lip gloss or chapstick or whatever it is, in her jeans pocket. Can I tell you how many tubes I have...

I'm just curious to here your thoughts on this. I carry my 7 year old son to bed almost every night. Thankfully, he's small enough (he only weighs about 45-50 pounds) so he isn't too heavy to hold yet. This has just always been a nightly routine that my son and I have enjoyed for years. I just...

I have a seven year old who had taken a book out of the library. It was on the human body, one of the pictures it contained was of a baby suckling. He showed it to two of his friends on the bus all three decided that it was yucky and gross. My son said to one of his friends that it would be...

DS (5) has shown an interest in reading. He can sound out very simple words, but I don't really know where to go from here. Does anyone have book recommendations or does anyone know anything about hooked on phonics, except that it's expensive? Thanks.
