HA! I noticed this thread and thought, oh I should tell E. to look here. Anyway... we had a horrible heat wave this summer that kept us indoors for about six weeks, here's some of the things we did: Play-Doh Finger...

Does she wear panties or waterproof trainers at day care? My EC'ed daughter is a few months older, and attends the infant/toddler section of a preschool. I send her there in waterproof trainers (though she is in cotton panties at...

^ Thanks so much for responding! I really appreciate hearing from someone with a BTDT perspective. I'd be grateful if you'd share the email you mentioned in your post. Feel free to PM me, or post here for others to see as well. I'm...
