I have had success in the past by speaking on behalf of my daughter and letting the other kids know how they are making DD feel.  "DD really just wants to play with you guys, and it is making her sad when you run away from...

I would at least try moving up to a convertable seat - it is money you have to spend otherwise.  Or before you do that, have you checked if the straps on his infant seat need to be moved up?  As an infant whenever DD started...

I would have no problem with it, but we tend to ration out candy like that.  I would probably only let her have 2 or 3 at a time so it is not like she would have the opportunity to stuff a whole handful into her mouth at...

No way would I change a poopy diaper near where people were eating.  Sorry.  I am not surprised that someone complained.   I have changed diapers on the floor of public bathrooms before.  As long as you aren't...
