All is well. Really, what was all the fuss about?? There was a little bit of crying before orientation last week - but smooth sailing ever since. Not one bit of separation troubles. (we won't talk about how much mommy cried...) Stephanie Jake and Ryan 9/3/99

Hi Everyone, I was wondering what cute "bonding" things your twins/triplets do. Mine smile and coo at each other, and their faces light up when they see each other. When they are out in their double stroller, they hold hands. The other day, Aimee, who always sucks her fingers, began to suck...

Has anybody tried Roomba robot vacuum? Does it really save you time?

Well, I knew this day would come. ;-) We're trying to get our kids to listen to us when it comes to yanking on electrical cords, running with scissors (kidding), and the like. Seriously, when we *do* find the need to say no to our 15-month old twins (Henry and Ella), we've been trying a 1-minute...

was today. Ryan and jake were both crying and upset that they just "had" to be in the same class. DH and I were thinking this was just going to be a horrible day. But once we got there and saw the rooms and found their seats - they were fine. I think it's going to be okay. We had a bus ride...

Our kids are 15 months and have lots of teeth already. Certainly the back molars are in and 4 top and bottom front also. Night-time problems seem to get attributed often to teething, but if this is going on, would you expect the kid to instantly settle down the minute you pick him up? We've also...

Is it possible? Isabella is going to start crawling soon. How can I babyproof and still let the twins have freedom? Suggestions? -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://ca.geocities.com/bironmonger/ Please excuse the quality. It is under construction and I am still learning. :-)

Hi there, I just wanted to let those that are interested know that I am posting some things on Ebay this week. Here is a link to my things for sell. Thanks! ~Kimberly Mommy to Alexis Iliana 07/17/99 and Emma Elidia & Aislyn Gabriela 10/01/02 come see...

Four nights later ... first two while dh away she ended up in my bed howling (at 1am and 4am). Third night dh lay down on the floor by her bed to keep her in it (at 1am -- he escaped back to bed around 3am). Last night she made it all the way thru with no howling, although she did move to the...

Who has a birthday in September? -- Brigitte aa #2145 http://ca.geocities.com/bironmonger/ Please excuse the quality. It is under construction and I am still learning. :-) "To repeat what others have said, requires education; to challenge it, requires brains."

Madison has been having a difficult time with me going back to work and I don't know how to help her to deal with it better. She has tantrums constantly over every little thing. If I tell her to get dressed she falls on the floor and has a tantrum. Trying to get her to clean up her toys is a total...

My son Andy is VERY strong willed. We have areas in our house that are blocked off for various reasons (keep away from electrical chords, away from TV and equipment, stairs, etc.) Andy seems to continually find ways to get past the barriers and go where he does not belong, and of course,...

With so many of our babies turning 2 I thought I would pick your brains for party ideas. I was thinking of renting a bouncing castle and just having a small party with family and our 4 friends from play group. My two love to jump so I thought it would be fun for them. I was thinking of an Elmo...

We have made it through the first two days of Kindergarten!!! Everything has gone relatively smoothly-- for the girls anyway-- I was pretty much a basket case for most of yesterday morning, but did a good job of hiding it from the girls with some help from DH. No real tears until we got back to...

I swear I posted a similar post to this when my kids were around 1 1/2 - 2 and now here I am again at age 4. My girls, Jordan especially, have been getting into *everything* lately. I thought that by age 4 they would be over this by now, but they seem to have regressed lately. This weekend Jordan...
