Last week, I found my teenager reading with some curiosity http://sweetval.blogspot.com It's a blog, fairly well-written, supposedly by a girl named Valerie who lives in Wells, NY, a very small town in the Adirondack region of NY. The blog details the purported sexual awakening of the girl...

Dd#3 has a baby who is just a year old now, and she writes me that her youngest child has RSV. I looked it up on the CDC website, but I don't see how this is that different from any other virus exactly - is this something that we've had all along, and just now they've given it a specific...

Hello, My wife and I have an 11-month-old boy. About 2 months ago he started to scream occasionally, which we thought was kind of cute. It was a happy scream, or at least not a bawling-his-head-off unhappy scream. Well, since then it has gotten so much worse that it is driving us crazy. If we are...

Dear participants in the misc.kids forum. I am a PhD student at The Norwegian School of Management (BI) in Norway.

Are there any good tips for moms who can't take a day off even if they're sick? DH is taking off work early when he can to help, but he just started this new job so he doesn't have any sick or vacation time built up. Basically I have the worst cold I can ever remember getting. Sinus pain from...

My 6 mo old DS just outgrew his plastic baby bathtub - not that he is too big for it, but he squirms so much he practically tips it over -he loves his baths! Someone suggested those baby bath seats that suction cup to the bottom of the tub which sounded like a great idea, I think he would...

My son will be 2 1/2 in a couple weeks, and so far, he has only learned how to say "uh-oh" (which he does use appropriately). He babbles all day long, but refuses to copy any words that we say to him. He has been learning some sign language, which has been VERY helpful (saving all of us from many...

Well.... Kivi went pee and poop on the potty. Ever since last weekend, when she asked for the potty, the only encouragement I gave was "hey, Kivi, I'm going to the bathroom, do you want to go with me?" She would sit on the potty, usually fully clothed, but at bathtime, with a bare bottom. Once...

I'm looking for the lyrics for John Lithgow's rendition of "She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain". This is the children's version he's played on PBS and on Treehouse. There was something about cutting off a chicken's head and other goofy stuff. Your help is much...

(Cathy Weeks) wrote in message ... So basically, she still really needs a second nap, but really doesn't want to take one. Any suggestions? Well...the decision was made for us. By Kivi! After several days of us...

I was getting ready to leave work just after 7pm tonight, when the ER nurse came up to ICU where I work to say that a pediatric code was on its way in and could I please stay to help. It was a 4 year old boy- his dad found him at the bottom of their pool. They think he was in the water about 6...

As many of you know my granddaughter is very tiny and has been having eating problems and sleeping problems since she was born. Her mom is due with the second baby very soon (Mar 22). The nutritionist who evaluated her today gave advice that I sort of agree with, but that I wonder if anyone here...

My 3-year-old daughter and I are in a wonderful playgroup that we've been attending since her birth. We've been meeting one weekday morning a week, plus having once-a-month "mom's night out" dinners. Most of the group is stay-at-home moms, with several of us working part time. For the past 3...

Since the clothes washer broke, I'm home today waiting for the repair company rep to arrive. My ten-year old daughter usually rides some sort of two-wheeled conveyance, bike or scooter, to school. She wanted me to come with her this morning, since I was at home anyway. I asked if she wouldn't be...

My DS at about 9-10months started saying a few words (cat, mom, dad) and now he's back to babbling. He had an ear infection and we thought his hearing went away. We would make a loud noise behind him and he wouldn't respond. The doctor said to use a bell instead saying that people often...

Now that we'll soon have two itty bitty kids in the house, we would like to plan about Will or some such "legal" documents to make sure the kids are taken care of in case something happens to us. We've been thinking about it for a while. Anyways, I was wondering when you decided to write a will,...
