Anyone have any good ones? We don't want to have a party--my dad will be in town, so we'd rather do something special just with the family (me, dp, dd, and grandpa). In the past, we've gone to a farm or the Audubon Center nearby our...

Before I became a mom I never thought I'd be doing this, but I'm happy to announce that our crisis has passed, as it were! But these are such great suggestions and I will file them away for future reference. Thank you SO MUCH, mamas!

What are your best remedies? I've tried: pushing her to drink water (hard with an almost-3-y.o.) nursing giving her prunes (she likes Earth's Best prunes and oatmeal) giving her other fruit (NOT bananas) urging her to run...

Good ideas--thanks! I haven't yet had the heart to trim it, but I know I should; it would certainly help! (Also, she probably won't let me near to her to do it any time soon!) But I'll check out some conditioners. You're so right...

I think there was a utensils thread some time back, so someone might point me to that, but I'm really wanting a whole set of utensils, plate(s), bowl(s), and cup. My dd is turning 3 in May and while she has drunk from a cup and used a...

These are some wonderful names! Great thread. My dd's name is Sage Elizabeth. Sage because my dh and I had moved from California to the northeast and were very homesick for the West; we especially like this wild-growing herb and...

Not a ton of time to write just now, but I wanted to say that I've learned to choose my battles and it sounds to me like you have, too. Some things are not negotiable; then, we gently explain and can be sympathetic but firm if a tantrum...

Like others, sending you sympathy! How totally frustrating! I'll also echo some pps and say that dignifying it with a detailed response, and doing the research for him, may not be the way to go. It's his responsibilty to educate...
