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...

Does anyone know of a introductory Track & Field video for kids? I do NOT want a training video; I want a video that goes through each of the events and gives a short explanation of the event and then shows video of athletes performing that event. Kids understand the concept of a race, but it...

My nearly 3YO son has been sleeping on the floor for about 9 months now. We've discussed it with his pediatrician who says as long as he's sleeping it's no big deal. In fact, his pediatrician (who has a wonderful dry wit) said that he will certainly outgrow it, by the time he's married at...

I am having some trouble with my wife. We have two boys, one is 2 months old and the other is 19 months. I work and my wife stays at home. Lately my older son has been whinning and crying. He does this with her, but not as much with me. It's driving my wife nuts and now she wants to sent him...

As a way to bury the hatchet and do something nice I'm offering a free printed copy of the LTC manual to the first 5 (to celebrate the # of years the project has been going) people to send me an email with a short snippet of their interest in the LT projects . For those who haven't been to my...

Friends and families, Is there interest in helping to start a summer camp program in Northern California for kids who sleepwet? A camp in New England and one in eastern Canada offering such programs, but none do on the west coast that I know of outside of programs for kids with...

I don't have children, but I thought it would be interesting to know if a 3-4 year old kid would know that a brick (or something else shown to them to be heavy by an adult) would not bounce if dropped on the ground, and what his answer would be if you asked about dropping it on a trampoline...

Okay, a few nights ago I was so tired to even come upstairs and put Daniel (2 months) l to sleep in his crib. I had no energy and I was on the couch, and his car seat was right beside it, so I put him in there, and I fell asleep and so did he. Anyhow - ever since he will not sleep in his crib! ...

Okay, I know. I really need to just make a SWTOR blog to post SWTOR stuff to (or perhaps just “a blog” where I can post whatever the crap I want.) Maybe now that I have hit level 50 on my Sorcerer I will find that I have time to spend on setting up a new blog somewhere. For now, here is where more...
