    DS 7 is really misbehaving at school - any suggestions?

    My son is adhd and gifted. He gets very bored in class and frequently gets in trouble. We're on the schools speed dial I'm sure... and he's 7. I agree that adding punishment does not work. Focus on positives. Also, just a thought, my ds has a hard time controlling behavior when he is hungry...

    Touring Plans and "Lines" App???

    We used it to plan our trip and it was spot on with the crowd predictions. The lines app was very accurate. If we encountered a wait time that was not correct my dh just submitted the correct wait time & it was updated pretty quickly. We loved it & would use it again. I was actually sad when my...

    Crazy8

    I have bought many things from Crazy8 and love them. I find their items to hold up well to my rough and tough boy. I find their sizing to be generous. I have never had any trouble with their jeans, in fact, they're the best jeans my son has in his closet. My dd is 10 and will not wear anything...

    Leaving Saturday and both kids are sick

    My ds can hang on to a cough forever. We've tried many OTC meds and rx meds. For him, Mucinex cough and chest congestion works the best. It will knock out his cough. Also, an old wives tale I've heard is to apply Vicks Vapor rub to bottoms of feet at bedtime then put on socks. Apparently it also...

    Leaving 21month old at home...Torn...

    Dh and I took our dd (5 at the time) without her then 2yo brother. And I do not regret. And he is not scarred because of it. ;) My son has always been a handful, and was dx last year with adhd/odd. He went on his first trip this past May. It was still a little too crowded and busy for his...

    End of May Question

    I just saw that you stated your dd has Aspergers. My ds is adhd, and while not the same, he has many characteristics of an aspy kid. My fear for him was crowds and dining. We ended up with the free quick service dining plan and it worked great for us. He does not like to wait or be rushed from...

    End of May Question

    We were there this past May 27-June2. Was it crowded? Yes. Was it miserable? No. Would I do it again? Sure, why not. It wasn't overwhelmingly crowded. We avoided Star Wars weekend at DHS because we knew it would be a madhouse and we weren't interested. What worked well for us was subscribing...

    Another on the dog topic...

    Our labbies eat Iams. They do well with it. I had tried to change to a less expensive dog food and they developed skin issues, scratching, dull coat, flaky skin. When we went to Iams, all problems disappeared. My dogs have an age difference (14 and 2) so I buy the large breed kind that is...

    Labrador retriever puppy chewing and chewing

    Patience... That's about all I can offer. My oldest lab just turned 14. She went thru her chewing phase on my first house... base boards, kitchen table, cabinet, etc. We tried lots and never found the perfect solution. Our 2nd lab (mix breed) was 1 1/2 when we got her, so we haven't had much...

    Something special for kindergarten first day?

    Our kids were a little nervous when they started kindy. One thing we did for both was to find a smooth shiny rock. Mommy and Daddy filled that rock with kisses and then we drew a heart on it. The rock went into the kids pocket and whenever they felt nervous or sad, they could put their hand in...

    Keens?

    I bought my kids at different online stores. DD's came from Shoemall and DS's came from zbSports. Both kids wanted specific colors so I searched until I found them. They were $35-$38 free shipping.

    for a great mom

    My first thought was to pick a pearl in either Japan or Downtown Disney. But, I think taking a camera and getting lots of pictures of the two of you while you're there, then making her a photo album when you get back home would be better. Have a photopass photographer take pics with your...

    Any Advice on lice?

    My neighbor dealt with this 3 times last year and we ended up with it at our house once. I HATE lice! It was very stressful, but since my friend became the expert, she was able to help me. Go to www.licekiller.com and order the product. It is all natural, works great, and will not harm the...

    Hybrid owners, or knower abouters... Need your help!!!

    My husband is a mechanic and we recently bought him a car with better fuel milage. We considered hybrids, but the cost benefit for fuel would not out weigh the overall cost of the vehicle for quite some time (as dawn M pointed out). And, in the long run, repair expenses are more as well. We...

    Rain Jackets

    I told dh that I wanted these for our next trip too. For me, it wouldn't be used so much as rain gear, but to put on at night when I get chilly and on cold bus rides back to our resort. My kids were so cold at the end of the day but taking a jacket when it's 100 degrees outside is not an option...

    AirTran

    Hey Big Kid in Alabama, what airport are you flying out of for Airtran? On our trip last month I kept looking for flights from BHM and couldn't get them under $1000 roundtrip for my family of 4. Would love to know there are other options out there!

    Mickey/ Princess Meet and Greet Fastpass?

    We just returned Thursday. For the Princess line, we just walked right in, even though the wait time posted said 20 mins. The line for Mickey was longer, but we didn't go in that line because we met him at the Character Spot in Epcot. We loved the Princesses and met Princess Aurora, Belle, and...

    Weather this weekend?

    Thanks for that outlook! The one I looked at kept saying 60% chance of rain so I went and bought more ponchos. I can handle 20% rain chances. I live in the South and 20% rain chances are good, just enough to cool you off.
