Toddler & Preschooler - November 2007

Just for fun...

How old is your toddler?
What did your toddler do today to make you laugh?
Name one thing you fed your toddler today.
Where did you both go today?
Did your toddler go to bed for you tonight?

Mine is seventeen months old. She danced and made me laugh today. I fed her broccoli, she loves it. We went to Walmart for Christmas pictures, they turned out cute! She cried tonight for a while when I put her to bed, which is really unusual for her.

My 3 y.o. loves bread, grilled cheese sandwich, mac and cheese, chicken nugget, and ham. That's about it. Can you suggest anything quick and easy that she might go for? I've tried spaghetti, she doesn't like that. Something like making pizza from storebought biscuits, something like that. HELP!!!

My daughter is 17 months old. She is still breastfed, maybe 3 times a day at most, and each session is growing shorter in time. My 3 yr-old son had problems with encopresis, so I am trying to not let her get that far.

When I offer her apple juice or milk in her cup, she only takes a few sips. She will only drink maybe 4 oz. from her cup a day, and refuses water and prune juice altogether.

I put ground flax seed in her oatmeal, and feed her pureed prunes 3 times a week. She also eats whole-grain Fig Nutens for snacks. For lunch and dinner, she eats what we eat, and we are fine.

She also takes 1/2 tsp of Milk of Magnesia twice a day as recommended by her Ped.

The last time she had a BM was because of a glycerine suppository. It has been about 5-6 days since. She "spots" at least once a day, so I know she is trying.

I don't know what to do anymore. We went through the same thing with my son. He was constipated from ages 1-3. How do I get her to drink more water? Advice?

My daughter is 5 and has had her hamster for 3 years. He died today and she was upset crying for like half an hour. Now she's on this kick of we have to buy another hamster that looks just like the one that died.
Do you think it's a good idea to go right out and buy another one?

What do you think would happen if you gave a normal little boy only girl toys to play with and they only played girls?

Do you thinks babies play with girl or boy toys because they are given to them or because they instinctively play with their gender's toys?

My nephew is 3 years old, my daughter 4 months. He's a little rough but never mean or evil. He pulled my daughter's arm to get her a little closer and my wife freaked out on him. What's the right thing to do?
I disagree in yelling at other people's babies. In this case my brother's.

I've heard from a lot of people that if you put panties on a little girl it will train them faster bc they won't like the sensation when they go in them. A friend of mine put princess panties on her daughter and told her to "not get the princesses dirty" and it worked immediately. Has anyone got success from this??

I have 2 young children and we sit in our house all day! I have been a SAHM for 3 years and not sure how much longer I can do this. I am really starting to get depressed. What kinds of things do you do in the day to keep busy? I am thinking about a part itme job in the afternoon and put the kids in daycare for a few hours (son is already in preschool). I think it would all do us some good. Would this be a big mistake? Anyone work a few hours a day because you want to? Did it help you to get out and have some adult interaction? I feel so lonely!!

Alright i have been sitting since i was about 10ish.I can change diapers, cook (easy stuff, if needed) never leave the kids bored always play a game or go to the park sometimes i bring surprises and arts and crafts for them. I just want to know what a reasonable amount it to ask for. I originaly asked for 5$ an hour but now i find that a little for the lot that i do. I also went to the babysitting classes and will know CPR, since we are learning it on school on the 1st of december. I learned it at the babysitting class but i dont really remember some of the steps. Other clients pay about 7$ an hour or 6$. I dont want to go over 9$, thats kind of outragous. thanks!!!

My daughter is 2 1/2 years old. I want her to know about good touch and bad touch, since she goes to preschool now. Do you think this an appropiate age to talk about it, and how would you go about talking about it?

Found a good site that reminds you to take a picture of your kid every 6 months and has a printable child photo Id kit and a printable safety book.

I babysit for a 16 month old boy. He wears overnight diapers so I don't know if that means this is okay...but...he goes to bed at 8. He leaves for my house at about 6:30 and gets here about 6:45. His parents don't change his diaper before they bring him because he is "tired". I think it's odd. It's very cold out, snow on the ground and he's outside with a wet toosh. I've tried to hint. When they come to pick him up I say,"Let me check to make sure he isn't wet. It's so cold out and I know I'd hate to be out there with a wet diaper on." But it hasn't helped. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing?

on one side of her ear,and the other side under her back of her neck.hair line!
I put It in A pony tail with a bobby pit to make it look like her hair is up with the pony tail but oh my gotch!!! My husband Is PISSED!

She has hair down to her butt!

Should I just leave it this way and let in grow with her hair.
then trim it when it starts getting longer.

What do you think?
OH MY GOTCH! Im just shocked!!!!

I want to know what you guys think are the best toys for a 2 year old girl. She seems to be pretty creative and she really likes to draw and color and use pens, pencils, crayons, markers whatever.
