Toddler & Preschooler - December 2006

They have become very good at going #1 on the potty, even in public places (which was a huge obstacle.) However no matter how I try, I cannot get them to even try to go #2. I have tried the reward system, putting up prize posters where they can put up stickers and the like to win a "prize," having nice conversations with them, and of course I have had moments in my frustration with it where I get angry and lecture them. They do not wear pull-ups during the day time, however they wear them at night. Generally they only go #2 once they are in their pull-ups at night. My fear is, if I get rid of the pull-ups at night, they will go #2 in their underwear and it will get inside their pajamas and you know what kind of mess we would be talking about then. I am open to suggestions. Help!!

Yesturday I notice that my sons (4 years old) eyes were watery and had a lot of goop in his eyes. Like a boogery look to it. And then I said, "If it continues for about 3 hours more, I'll call the doctor. So I called my friend and told her, she came right away and said, "Thats pink eye, take him to the doctor."
So I got him onto the doctors rooms, the doctor looked at my son and said, "He ok, its not pick eye," and didn't give me anything for it.
Today I checked his eyes and his left has right eye has got like a bloody dot on the cornea.
Is this pink eye or not? Is there risks, if it is? Or if its not, what is it?

She will just walk around the house, picking up toys that happen to strike her fancy, and pile them on one particular couch in our living room. If anyone tries to touch or move those toys, she has a complete meltdown. She isn't even actively playing with the toys, she just has to have them in a certain place, a certain way. And it is only after asking her numerous times that she will take the toys off the couch and put them back where they belong. I was wondering if this behavior is normal for her age and how we can peacefully end it. It is particularly frustrating when we have company over and she doesn't "allow" anyone to sit on "her couch."

When they were infants I read to them, then we went thru the stage around 1 of them wanting to yank on the books and pages, so we slacked off. They are now 27 months old and when we try to read one of them wants the book I have, tries to turn pages before I can read it or jabbers louder than me, pretending they are reading. Something I wish we could enjoy and want to be fun turns into a disaster. Any suggestions?

I want to surprise my friend with some clothes for her daughter, who will turn 1 in January. I know that sizes vary, so just a general idea would be nice - I'm totally clueless. I guess I'd rather err on the side of too big so she could wear them longer.

I am having a Polar Express Pajama party and I need some unique ideas on what to put in gift bags for the kids to take home. I'm thinking like maybe toothbrushes or something for the bathtub. Do you think toddlers would like that?? Thanks!!

My daughter is 2- 3 in April of '07 and she has just recently (maybe the past 3 months or so) had her own room and her own bed. She has done decent up until the past two weeks or so. Now, I'll wake up in the mornings and she'll have her pillow and covers at some random place in the house asleep on the floor or something. What I think is odd is she never comes to our bed. This morning I found her in the kitchen under the table fast asleep. I found her behind the couch the other day, or layed up against her door in her room .... Is this normal? What do I do to stop it?

on November 20, 2006, my grandfather past away and my daughter has been asking to see him. I have already told her that he is in heaven with God and Jesus. We cannot see him but we can talk to him and he is watching over us. For the past year and a half we went to the nursing home every weekend to see him.

I had a baby 5 months ago, but these problems have only just developed and he does not seem to be jealous but seems really loving towards his little sister, do you think this is just a phase and any ideas how to help him?

one morning my 3 year old ask me for a taste of my coffee (which was mainly milk) and I gave him some...to make a long story short, he drinks coffee now (because of the taste); he screams if I don't give him coffee every morning. I only give him about 4 oz and I make it "weak", is that bad? I have already tried those "taste-like-coffee"-mixes where you mix with milk and suppose to have the "coffee" flavor, but that doesn't work..I want to stop giving him coffee, what should I do?

My son always wants to play with mine or my wife's phone and it ends up getting thrown or beaten up. We've tried our old cell phones but have concerns with small parts etc. The toy phone he has is crazy colored and unrealistic, I want a realistic looking one that he'll play with.

Thanks.
