I have a few ideas to add that have worked for my DD. A little background first, she doesn't learn in a 'normal' setting. She did preschool for 2 years and learned absolutely nothing. She loved it, had no problem sitting and listening, following directions, etc. She just didn't learn...

I nursed DD1 until 22mos. The last 6-8 it was only just before bed and in the middle of the night. DD2 nursed until 18 mos.

DD had a breakthrough today! She went #2 on the potty all by herself! :banana: Her BM's are not regular so I can't get her to the potty on time. Plus I don't like the idea of having a child sit for 5 minutes while they try to go. I think it creates more pressure and can make potty training...

Being non computer savy I don't know how to copy specific posts to reply to. One day I might try :) For those that have asked if she can get on the potty, we keep a little potty in our kitchen/livingroom area. She always wears dressed and can take off underwear by herself. She just pushes...

meshell2002 - thanks for the suggestion. I will have to try making that physical connection. I haven't thought of it before. As for how I got her trained, lets see. At 14 mos she was waking up dry in the morning (a sign of bladder control) at 16 mos I started putting her on the potty when...

I second getting halloween costumes. We are going in Sept and DD18 mos has 3 costumes to wear. Tinkerbell (18mos disney store dress) Cinderella (2T halloween costume - instead of a long skirt it has a tutu bottom) and a 2T pink minnie mouse dress (I found it in the dressups along with all the...

Hi! I am looking for advice to help my 18 mos DD with going #2 on the potty. She is fully trained with #1 and wears panties all day everyday, but she still has accidents with #2. I refuse to put her back in diapers because she is going #1 all day and when I have put her in diapers she will...

We have gone the past 2 Sept. and my DD4 has worn a dress all day everyday. This past year was DD1 first trip (she was 9mos) and she wore a onesie with a tutu everyday(one day she wore a tinkerbell costume). Super lightweight and super cute! This Sept we are going back and DD1 has a minnie...

Thanks for the info. I have been reading them, and yet im still quite confused. I guess my current frustration is that I am not familiar with the DVC specific lingo. It's a language unto itself, even seperate from the new language surrounding DW:) Is there a place I can find out what every...

Hi Y'all, My DH and I are considering buying into DVC around the beginning of 2012 (when we will have the $ saved up.) We have a trip to DW scheduled in Sept. where we will take the tour of Bay Lake Towers. Being new to the whole DVC thing, I have many ?'s. Buy through Disney or resale...

ALWAYS wash new clothes! I worked in a clothing factory during HS. We would package hanes white (among other things) to send to dollar general, grocery stores, etc. Once an hour we would have mandatory hand washing as they would get black. All I did was count and fold white shirts. If a...

Not to worry you, but my friends DD started about 4 months ago. She was 8 (has since turned 9) when she started. She hadn't been showing signs of readiness - hadn't developed at all - they took her into the pediatrician who did a MRI and they found a mass on her ovary. We live fairly close to...

I too had a bjorn when my DD4 was born. I lasted 2 weeks with it when I finally gave it away because it hurt my back. I could never adjust it so that the weight was evenly distributed and since I have a shoulder injury, it hurt...a lot! We switched to a moby wrap and I liked it...until I...

We just got back last week! It was a great vacation. Being a CDing Mamma, I did think for about a half a millisecond about using cloth on our trip. But, its a vacation and I didn't want to do laundry. I didn't even think about the detergent build up in the washers, that has scared me out of...

Last September Winnie the Pooh, Tigger and Eeyore were in the toy shop in the UK in Epcot. I would be he is still there. Plus when we went there was no line so they spent a ton of time with my DD. Have a fabulous vacation!

OP - at 18mos I would'nt worry about transitioning your son unless you want him out of your bed....or your DH does :rolleyes1. We cosleep with our kids and for DD3.9 when she was jsut over two, DH decided that he was ready to have our bed be just 'ours' again. I wasn't quite ready for DD to...

I think that in order to make the decision, you need to decide which factors weigh the heaviest. Will your friend be offended if you arent there? Do you BF your baby(if BFing, then the likelihood of baby getting sick drops dramatically because they get your antibodies.) Do you suffer from...

Answering the OP - My dad was done having kids after baby #4 was born. (4th boy.) My mom felt like our family was incomplete. Mom had two miscarriages and then had a stillbirth at 24 weeks. All of her pregnancies were hard and I would have expected anyone after going through that to be done...

Ebay is wonderful! My DD3 got her first bitty baby as a surprise when her little sister was born. We bought the doll, 5 outfits and 4 cloth diapers all on ebay for less than $40 - and that included the shipping! If you are patient with ebay you can find slightly used outfits for less than $5...

OP - you have been given lots of advice, but I wanted to add my $.02. I completely agree that preschool isn't necessary, I also agree that some children thrive in that environment. My DD is about to start her 2nd year of preschool. She is almost 4(October) As a SAHM I love being her...
