We had a very interesting discussion about this in my car seat tech course. Apparently there are 2 things driving up the weight limit on harnesses... first is heavier children. As we have larger and larger children (by weight) it is more...

Those sound like really hard choices. I don't think I'd want my 2 yr old sitting doing school work and I REALLY value 2nd language learning (especially if there is exposure to the language outside of school) It's ridiculous that 2 yr...

We use VERY STURDY real bowls (actually custard cups - square white ones) that are very cheap and very sturdy (did I mention very sturdy? lol) with our 12 mth old. We used them the 1st time around too but we don't hand them to her that...

I think what I love most about Jan is that she treats me like an equal in my care and like an intelligent participant in my care. She is upfront and honest about choices I can make/ she can offer (legally or otherwise) It's really hard...
