okay, one more comment! My dsd attended my shower for dd and had a great time. No, I didn't spend the whole time with her -nor did her dad (we had a jack and jill shower). But, she loved seeing all the cute baby things. She sat and...

I am having this problem too-my dd is ~20 months old and is 27 lbs, 34" tall. She has really long legs. I know that it isn't a safety hazard, but she screams and gets really upset when I put her in the car RF. I turned her around...

My dd is 19 months old- we have been EC/PL since she was around 9 months-mostly just sitting her on the potty or encouraging her to sit there, explaining what we were doing in the potty, etc. Very very non-pressured. In the last couple...

my dd is still nursing at 19 months and is in the 95% ish percentile. At 18 months she was 33"and 25 lbs. Think it depends more on genetics and overall diet/nutrition than anything.

I know, in our case at least, it is not like we are trying to squeeze a whole week's worth of chores into one weekend. When we are all doing chores, dsd gets a chore to do too-i.e. I might ask her to go and empty the compost bucket...

we struggle with this too. I don't think dsd is going to suffer b/c we have to run to home depot or grocery shopping. I don't think it is beneficial or fair for anyone to have every moment be an event while she is here. Personally,...
