I can't remember how the song goes when you are teaching a child how to tie their shoes. I know there are more than one song any that you remember or used with your child would be helpful. Thank you

It's getting frusterating to me to people are mentioning names such as "Olivia" or "Hailey" or "Brayden" or " Aidan" as different and unique...Have you seen the list of the most popular names of 2006?


And while I'm here, what's people's hang up about being teased...Kids are going to be teased about their names, personalities, looks no matter what...even if they have "common" names.

(latter comment excludes bizzare "made up" names)

As I child (back in 1978) we had a neighbor named Ian (he was 3) and a friend at school named Liam. No one was named that for many years, and now that I might have a child they are pretty popular, so I would not use.

Also, as a big Jane Austen reader in grade school (1970's) I liked the names Emma (from the Novel), and Elinor (from Sense and Sensibility) just because I loved the characters.

Now Emma and Ellie are so popular....... so again I would not use.

I was even telling my friends that Jane and Hazel were due for comeback (i'm always trying to find something not popular) and they laughed.

One of my friends promptly named her baby Jane (it was going to be Alessandra???) and within 6-months Julia Roberts named her baby Hazel!

I don't mean to be rude but I don't see what the big deal is. Almost half of the people on the planet can become pregnant and the process of becoming pregnant is both fun and easy to accomplish for most women. Sure, babies look cute at first but the majority of them grow up to become normal, boring adults. You should also think of the impressionable young women who may be on here and then want to become pregnant when they are not prepared to do so. I suppose it has something to do with being a guy but perhaps someone could explain this to me.

My little girl is 4 yrs old and wets the bed every night. Ive tried telling her to be a big girl and get up when she has to pee, ive put diapers on her at night thinking maybe she wouldnt like them, ive tried to bribe, what else is there? If i try to wake her up in the middle of the night to go pee she cries because she dont want to get up. Right now i put diapers on her at night but shes almost five and i would like to get her out of that.

My first day of my last period was june 6, 2006 which then my due date should be around the 15th or so but my doctor has me for the 23rd of march. I can't figure it out and if I went by his due date it wouldn't match up with june 6, 2006 it would be much later.

My wife and I have been mulling this for 2 years. We have a daughter (that is 2) and love her like crazy. Some days we think that we should focus only on her and have enough money to take her on vacations, etc, save enough to get her the things she needs/wants or we want. Other times we wonder if she's missing too much by not having a sibling. Any thoughts about the 1 or 2 kid question?

If my next baby is a girl, I was thinking of naming her after my mom, sort of. My mom's name is Sally. I don't want a daughter named Sally, but if I move the first letter to the end, I get Allys, and would pronounce it "Alice".
Is this too weird of a spelling? Would people have a hard time with the pronunciation? Do you think my mom would feel bad because it says "your name is not good enough, I'm going to change it"?
I'm really not into weird names, or weird spellings of names, but I wanted to somehow honor my mom (she does not have a middle name, nor do I, nor will the future daughter).
Thanks!

So most of you told me to change dr's, when do i do this? My ultrasound is for the 28th of january and my ob appointment with this BAD ob is for jan 31st. On the 31st they are also doing the quad screening, so should i stick it out for these things and then change my ob? or should i cancel my 31st appointment with him and try to get a new dr before then? Thanks so much for all the advice :)

I am 29 weeks with my first pregnancy and have had a lousy cold for the past week. My midwife, doctor and pharmasist have all told me that except for paracetamol there is nothing they would recommend taking for it as very little has been tested and declared safe for pregnant women.

I have all the usual cold symptoms; sore throat, hacking cough, bunged up nose and am getting even less sleep than usual.

Anyone out there got any tips or been through similar. I am also worried that all the coughing and sneezing will hurt the baby or the baby will ' catch' my stinking cold; so any reassurance from the sisterhood on this good too!
