22 Months
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 14:13:54 -0700
These days I have pretty much stopped using months to describe Jack’s age. I usually say “he’s almost two” or “he’ll be two in two months.” I know lots of folks have trouble with the math past 12 months of age, and the changes Jack goes through from month-to-month are more of a slow transition than they were during that first year of his life when milestones came out of nowhere. It blows my mind that the second year of Jack’s life is almost complete. Time really does fly. My friend Daniel
here’s my 101 list
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 14:05:15 -0700
OK, as requested, here is my 101 Things to Do Before I Die List. I admit that it was a little more difficult than I thought it would. 100 sounds like a small #, but I’m only to 21 and I’m a little stuck. Don’t worry, I’m sure I will make it up to the 101, but its more slow going than I thought. Try coming up with a list of your own! Comment on this post and link to your list (if it is online) or put it in the comment that you post. I would love to hear what other people want to do! *Quic
Darling, strap in the beer…I mean child!
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 14:04:05 -0700
Maybe it was the extreme heat because that’s the only only excuse I can think of that made a, clearly demented, man strap his beer down in the back seat and leave his child to sit on the floor. I mean what reasonable person, let alone, father prioritises their beer over their child. Well I suppose this is a man we are talking about. The man from Alice Springs, Australia was pulled over by police on the Ross Higway in the Northern Territory of the country and fined A$750 (Ł362) for failure
Swim Safety Tests Disguised As Games: Weeding Out Weaknesses
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 14:01:14 -0700
One of the biggest complaints I get from parents is the fact their kid will listen and practice swim skills with me, but will not with them. So if your child can swim but you want them to practice more, or you’re just curious how strong and smart they really are in the water, using games disguised as water safety assessment tests is fun and satisfying way for you both to get what you want. Safety Game #1: Chase Toys Until Tired When 5-year old Aimee’s* mom told me Aimee’s summer goal was to

Parent Traps
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 13:59:27 -0700
The other morning, I was invited to one of those indoor gym facilities that cater to hyperactive toddlers and stir-crazy parents. There is a loose sort of structure to the gymnastic mayhem, but don’t be mistaken, it is mayhem of a toddler-colliding, primary-colored, off-gassing plastic mat sort of order. And I couldn’t help feeling at that moment that as much fun as all the children were having (mine was the exception, as he was doing his best wallflower imitation), that this was really all for

UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections) Don’t Let Your Elder Suffer in Silence
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 13:57:32 -0700
If you’ve ever had a bladder infection (the common name for UTIs), then you know how very painful they can be. If you haven’t, let me describe one for you: Many times, you don’t realize right off what’s wrong. You’re edgier than normal. You feel “different down there,” but you’re not sure. Then, you get the frequent urinating thing. Every two minutes. It begins to be painful, sometimes there’s nothing to urinate but you feel ike you have to. I mean you have to like someone’s holding yo

Growth
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 13:53:52 -0700
Sometimes growth can easily go unnoticed. Sometimes growth can be significant to some and meaningless to others. These were significant to me this week: from buds to blossoms from baby to big girl It was a big week for Sarah: first hair cut first weekend without Mommy first time saying NO!
Parenting Advice on Child Safety Precautions - Scare Tactics or Essential Modern Parenting?
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 13:44:59 -0700
Thirty five years ago I was seven years old, and the 1970’s were approaching. This meant meant I was an unsuspecting subject for my mother’s zany sewing experiments. Floral flairs with pompom fringing. Hmmm. Back then I walked the three mile round trip to school each day, ambling along like I had all the time in the world, blatantly picking flowers out of people’s front gardens to give to my teacher so she wouldn’t mention I was late. I vaguely recall the occassional ’stranger danger’ message,
Parent Alienation: Five Ways Parents Can Help Children of Divorce, Part 2
posted on Tue, 13 May 2008 13:40:48 -0700
This is a Part 2 of guest blogger and divorce expert, Christina McGhee’s article on Parental Alienation, Children, and Divorce. Part 1 is here. Parent Alienation, also known as PAS, is often viewed as a black or white issue. It has been my experience that alienation exists on a continuum and often falls in shades of gray. It can range from mild, which includes consistent derogatory remarks, subtly placing children in situations where they are asked to take sides or scheduling activities du
