    He already has a cat nap most mornings, either on the way here or during the morning walk. Doesn't make a difference. :(

    I was never a fan of them until I had three kids under 4 and my 21 month old ran away twice between the car and the front door to Walmart. I went right in and bought one of those animal backpacks...

    The next time she makes a comment about you having a baby and being unable to watch the children, call her bluff. "I'm sorry you feel that way. You are certainly entitled to your opinion and while I...

    They spoke to you THAT VERY AFTERNOON and you said that per your contract you were not picking their child up from school. Despite this, they chose to leave their child at school thereby endangering...

    Looks like we posted at the same time.

    I think Lee-Bee has hit the nail on the head. He probably doesn't know what way is up if he's catered to all the time at home.

    I find the kids that often have the hardest transitions are the kids...

    Is it possible he's feeling overwhelmed by the number of kids and toys that are around and would feel more comfortable playing in the playpen? I've found that some kids like a bit of down time in a...

    Wow. I'm surprised they would mention a new daycare to him before they mentioned it to you. I'm also surprised that they wouldn't give their child care provider a heads up about such a big change in...

    That is so sad. That poor kid.
