Mine is pretty easy going but yeah, right at two she had a little attitude swing and it's sort of "terrible twos lite". She yells "STOPPITAH-MUM-MUM" at me and it's so funny I laugh and she starts laughing too. I can usually distract her from tantrums and attitude by making her laugh.

We are 26 months old and we don't know any colours. William know about two letters of the alphabet. For a long time they would count by saying "deux, deux, deux..." it was cute. Now they finish off with a spirited "quatre!" since we have 4 steps to the house and we count them as we go up and down everyday. Yes, we are delayed a bit when compared to the average, no I'm not the least bit worried. I've been...

DD2 is cutting her first molar. And it is kicking her (and me!) in the butt. She didn't teethe her first 8 teeth very well, but geez. She is a poor sleeper to begin with, but it's even poorer now (help me!! ) The last 2 nights she has been up at 4:00 am and 3:30 (I am longing for her 5 am days...) ready for the day. We finally had to let her cry a bit after 2 hours last night of rocking her and her waking when we put her down (she...

I hear you on this DS#3's attitude is out of this world some times. The world has a whole new volume level with him around. I hope its a stage they will all grow out of.

8 months. Don't let it scare you. DS2 didn't roll over until 8 months either, because he spent his whole time on the floor trying to do crunches to sit h imself upright. So, we traded the rolling for the situps.

Found this: * Color blindness (color vision deficiency) is a condition in which certain colors cannot be distinguished, and is most commonly due to an inherited condition. Red/Green color blindness is by far the most common form, about 99%, and causes problems in distinguishing reds and greens. Another color deficiency Blue/Yellow also exists, but is rare and there is no commonly available test for it. * Depending on just which figures you...

At the age of 2 it isn't really cradle cap. It's just dry scalp or possibly a bit of psoriasis which is the result of the under layer of the skin developing before the top layer can sluff off. Try a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner, and then start getting in the habit of doing the old "100 strokes with a hair brush" thing. It needs to be a soft bristle brush and you need to brush from the scalp right down to the bottom...

I did have a child proof door handle on DS1's door after he was in a big boy bed until he was night time potty trained. I was worried he'd get into stuff & I wouldn't hear, as our house has a funny layout too. Now we have a gate at the top of the stairs on the floor the kid's rooms are on. It's a wooden one meant for the top of the stairs & you have to have some hand strength to open it, DS can only now open it...

DD will be 3 in April and she naps regularily for 2 hours every afternoon. Having said that, there are times that she does not sleep, but nap time is non negotiable in this house. She needs the sleep, and if she misses one nap it is not a big deal, but if she misses more than one in a row it is really bad!!! I don't even give the option, she is in her room for nap time and if she comes out the gate goes up or the safety handle goes on the...
