&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Tip: Rather than always getting upset at your child(ren). Look at the more positive side of things, than the negative side of things...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;The Number #1 thing is : Talk to your child(ren) not at them... Don&#39;t slip into this bad habit.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
This one word alone is something that I struggle with still to this day. Which I have noticed over the years, that I&#39;m not alone: (&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Don&#39;t&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Don&#39;t do that!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Don&#39;t forget to make your bed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Don&#39;t forget to clean your room.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Don&#39;t Run. Walk!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Don&#39;t use that tone with me!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
When you use a positive word(s). You will be pleasantly surprise of the out come.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
Positive word(s): (&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Please&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;), (&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Thank You&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;), (&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Appreciate&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;) just to name a few.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;ul style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em;&quot;&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Please don&#39;t do that.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Please make your bed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Please clean your room.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;I would really appreciate. If you would make the right choice, and not run. But walk.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&amp;nbsp;Let me ask you. Are you making the right choice by using that tone with me?&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 27px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: &amp;quot;arial&amp;quot;; font-size: 18px; line-height: 27px;&quot;&gt;Now keep in mind; once you have decided that you are going to make this change. You can&#39;t just do this &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;once&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt; or &lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;twice&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. You need to stay consistent&amp;nbsp;, meaning &amp;nbsp;it will be a work in progress. Don&#39;t give up...&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;color: #333333; font-family: Arial; font-size: 18px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

Why can’t they just get along? Does it seem that they are jealous, or trying to compete for your attention?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sibling Rivalry happens in some cases right after the second child is born, and it very well might continue throughout their childhood. Don’t be alarmed, you can work through this.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Your children are trying to find his or her own voice, and if they feel their voice is not being heard; because of the other sibling; then it can turn into a rivalry.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parents try to give each child your undivided attention:&amp;nbsp;Try to give your child their own special day, or their own special time. Your child wants to share with you their own special talents and success that they have done. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just remember you don’t ever want to label them; don’t play favorites. You love them both equally, you need to always keep in mind that they need to know how much you do.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/8485668643416055113/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2011/07/sibling-rivalry.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/8485668643416055113'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/8485668643416055113'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2011/07/sibling-rivalry.html' title='Sibling Rivalry...'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15504777155745329978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawyy52FNlj-286iW95DtoaDntk_Z8Vd4CH9ww7rsGBZg3FwYzvDXYOEMDHBJ9gz1Tzef5YgVVe5QLi3vHU7K9B6IvXwvYsbDQgjH5Sv7bJj9qWulXO0gSMH8J_spQwQ/s220/pic1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098098323335679418.post-6563396954863241550</id><published>2011-04-10T12:58:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2012-05-20T09:55:49.669-07:00</updated><title type='text'>What’s lurking around the young ones?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#404040;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;How clean is your kitchen?

Even though you just got done cleaning up from making breakfast, lunch, or dinner? This is called, “grazing” in other words snacks, snacks, and more snacks. Try to create a healthy grazing/snack pattern throughout their day. Try to give your child(ren) snacks that are high in protein and low in sugar; this will help to stretch out their energy. The reason you should stay away from foods and drinks that contain a high amount of sugar in them; is because your child(ren) can get a boost from the sugar of course meaning a (sugar high), and then next thing you know they crash...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Example: Snack Foods That Have Protein&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Yogurt&lt;br /&gt;
Apple&lt;br /&gt;
Cheese&lt;br /&gt;
Peanut Butter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just to name a few...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Be creative, before preparing the snacks. Get some cute little cookie cutters. Make your snacks into cute little kid friendly shapes; have your child(ren) depending on how old they are become mommies little helper, and have them help you prepare the snacks; “get them involved.” After all is prepared, make a picnic on the floor or in your own backyard&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;Happy Snacking...&lt;/b&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/1302831183417864017/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2011/02/snacks-snacks-and-more-snacks.html#comment-form' title='16 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/1302831183417864017'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/1302831183417864017'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2011/02/snacks-snacks-and-more-snacks.html' title='Snacks, Snacks, and More Snacks...'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15504777155745329978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawyy52FNlj-286iW95DtoaDntk_Z8Vd4CH9ww7rsGBZg3FwYzvDXYOEMDHBJ9gz1Tzef5YgVVe5QLi3vHU7K9B6IvXwvYsbDQgjH5Sv7bJj9qWulXO0gSMH8J_spQwQ/s220/pic1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>16</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098098323335679418.post-421244592816433084</id><published>2010-12-31T09:48:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2012-05-20T09:56:14.682-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Family Movie Night...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Parents come together as a family and make it a movie night. What I mean by movie night; I don’t mean take your children out to the movies once a week, that can become very pricey very quickly. Make it a movie night at home, make that be your special time to spend with your children. Pick out a movie that everyone will enjoy from your local movie rental store what ever is easiest for you. It’s really nice when you do this once a week , and try to make it the same time each week. Put a blanket down on the floor right in front of the TV. Have the children help you pop some popcorn and get some drinks, and don’t forget to silence your cellphones before the movie starts. This is a budget friendly thing that you can do as a family. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 22.0pxcolor:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

If you are an expecting mom to be, and you want to be successful breastfeeding your baby.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I would recommend : That you ask your  OBGYN, or if you have already established a pediatrician, ask how long should you breastfeed. Most will say you should exclusively breastfeed your newborn until they are at least six months old.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Keep in mind: The longer you breastfeed your baby the more you will be passing on your protective antibodies. Your antibodies will help to protect your baby from infection caused by the flu.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Breastfeeding is just as rewarding to your baby as it is to you. Did you know breastfeeding can decrease the risk to breast and ovarian cancers. Now keep in mind lower risk does not mean no risk.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Happy Baby, Happy Mommy!&lt;br /&gt;

There will be some days you are going to think your child(ren) has turned off their listening ears. Compared to other days; when you feel they are acting like complete angels. There are days when you feel you have done everything you can think of, when you put your child or children on a time-out, you need to also put yourself on a time out. You don’t ever want to feel that you could probably lose it. Go to a quite place in your house, and take some slow deep breathes, count to ten when you are taking those slow deep breathes, and then count backwards. Always try to keep calm, if you are starting to feel yourself really getting upset and the only thing you want to do is scream at your child, because your patience went right out the window (You Need A Break). We all know once you start to scream at your children they will more than likely tune us out or get upset. You really never want to scream at your children. Try to keep calm, and talk to your child. Let them know what they are doing is wrong, and that if they keep showing bad behavior; that you are not going to give them any warning, you will put them on a time out and start to take their privileges away from them. Until they understand that they need to listen to you the first time, not the second, or third time. &lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 22.0pxcolor:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Remember to always stay true to what you say to your children.

You might of heard about this simple home remedy that you can do. This will help to dry or thin out the mucus in the nasal passage, that is causing the post nasal drip to occur.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All you need is: &lt;b&gt;Water &amp;amp; White Distilled Vinegar &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Put a pot of water on to boil. Once the water comes to a boil, put one cup of White Distilled Vinegar in the boiling pot of water. Turn the pot of water with the White Vinegar off. Pour the combination of water and white vinegar into a bowl (be careful not to burn yourself or your child(ren) in the process). While you are holding onto the bowl (never leave your child(ren) unsupervised). Have your child(ren) breath through their nose the vapors that are coming up through the steam (have them do this for a least 10 to 15 minutes). Again this will help to dry or thin out the mucus, that is causing the post nasal drip. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;You will want to repeat this about every four hours...&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mylivesignature.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/352/54C12E96EE1C55FE7EB39320B00C140F.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0 !important; background: transparent;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/5267631006816572996/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/home-remedy-for-post-nasal-drip.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/5267631006816572996'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/5267631006816572996'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/home-remedy-for-post-nasal-drip.html' title='Home Remedy for Post Nasal Drip...'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15504777155745329978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawyy52FNlj-286iW95DtoaDntk_Z8Vd4CH9ww7rsGBZg3FwYzvDXYOEMDHBJ9gz1Tzef5YgVVe5QLi3vHU7K9B6IvXwvYsbDQgjH5Sv7bJj9qWulXO0gSMH8J_spQwQ/s220/pic1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098098323335679418.post-2608621409382247025</id><published>2010-11-19T09:28:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-19T09:31:55.663-08:00</updated><title type='text'>No More Slips or Falls...</title><content type='html'>&lt;font style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;This is for all you parents, that like doing a little Arts and Crafts. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your toddler’s little feet keep slipping out from under them. Those darn socks; what is a parent to do? You can go to your local arts and crafts store and pick up a product called Puffy Paint. Then go and buy a packet of socks. Put the puffy paint on the bottom of the socks. There is no limit to what you can come up with; when you start putting the puffy paint on the bottom of the socks. You can make it into different themes for different occasions and so on. Now also make sure that you try to find puffy paint that will not bleed onto other clothes; when you go to do the laundry. I would recommend you wash the socks separately from your other clothes no matter what. Overall this is a fun little Arts and Crafts project that you can do with your child, depending on how old they are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;At the end of the day when the Puffy Paint is dry your toddler will not be slipping as much as they were before.  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mylivesignature.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/352/54C12E96EE1C55FE7EB39320B00C140F.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0 !important; background: transparent;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/2608621409382247025/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/no-more-slips-or-falls.html#comment-form' title='5 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/2608621409382247025'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/2608621409382247025'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/no-more-slips-or-falls.html' title='No More Slips or Falls...'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15504777155745329978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawyy52FNlj-286iW95DtoaDntk_Z8Vd4CH9ww7rsGBZg3FwYzvDXYOEMDHBJ9gz1Tzef5YgVVe5QLi3vHU7K9B6IvXwvYsbDQgjH5Sv7bJj9qWulXO0gSMH8J_spQwQ/s220/pic1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>5</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098098323335679418.post-7003731421585032397</id><published>2010-11-16T12:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-16T13:09:31.749-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Your Child(ren) will Not Sleep by Themselves...</title><content type='html'>What is a parent to do? When we first got started that was a battle; our little ones were not going to go to bed without a fight. We asked our pediatrician to give us some suggestions on what we could do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because between the two little guys; my husband and I were not getting any sleep. The pediatrician told us, and you have probably heard this before. “Just put them in their rooms; tuck them in and walk away, and let them cry themselves to sleep”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now let me make something really clear; I&#39;m not saying don’t listen to your pediatrician, they do have some good advice. I just personally couldn’t do that; I was one of those mommies that hated to hear my baby’s cry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So I sat down one morning and tried to think of something that we could do. I put some steps down on a piece of paper; hoping and praying it would work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight:bold;&quot;&gt;Simple Example:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 1:&lt;/b&gt; Bath time - to get them to relax and wind down for the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 2:&lt;/b&gt; Bedtime story - reading a cute little story to them each and every night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 3:&lt;/b&gt; Night Light - No sleeping in the dark&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 4:&lt;/b&gt; Teddy bears: Giving them a teddy bear or a stuffed animal of their choice to have in bed with them to make them feel safe or in some cases; feel that they were not sleeping alone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Step 5:&lt;/b&gt; This step is optional, this might not work for some child(ren) - (Right outside their door) Let your child(ren) know you will be right outside their door until they fall asleep. Our children felt comfort in knowing that we were very close by.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let me tell you it was hard work to do that each and every night. It took my husband and I a good month or so to get these little ones in a routine. But we were pleasantly surprised that keeping to this routine each and every night finally did pay off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I’m not going to sugarcoat anything, we did go through a lot; our children at first did put up a fight, I’m not going to sit back and say that it was a piece of cake once we put these steps into place it took a lot of hard work and dedication.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents you are probably going through a lot, and are not getting enough sleep at night because one of you is sleeping with one of your child(ren); just so they will sleep through the night. Or maybe your child(ren) are sleeping in your bed between you and your spouse.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now how crowded can that be? I know that you are not getting a good night sleep at all. You are probably waking up the next morning with a arm in your face and a foot in your side.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or your about to fall out of the bed because your child is laying across your bed, and there is no more room for you; and lets not forget that your body is killing you from laying in the same position all night long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents I have been there, and I can tell you we were a mess; we couldn’t even think straight. I have given you some suggestions that worked for us. But the bottom line is you owe it to yourselves, and  your child(ren) to get into a routine and stick with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By the end of the day you will look back at all of the things you went through; and realize that sticking with the routine that you came up with was well worth all of the hard work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your child(ren) will now know when you say it is bedtime; that means it is time to stop playing and rest their eyes. When that day comes; that will be the happiest day for you and your spouse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mylivesignature.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/352/54C12E96EE1C55FE7EB39320B00C140F.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0 !important; background: transparent;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/7003731421585032397/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/your-children-will-not-sleep-by.html#comment-form' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/7003731421585032397'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/7003731421585032397'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/your-children-will-not-sleep-by.html' title='Your Child(ren) will Not Sleep by Themselves...'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15504777155745329978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawyy52FNlj-286iW95DtoaDntk_Z8Vd4CH9ww7rsGBZg3FwYzvDXYOEMDHBJ9gz1Tzef5YgVVe5QLi3vHU7K9B6IvXwvYsbDQgjH5Sv7bJj9qWulXO0gSMH8J_spQwQ/s220/pic1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098098323335679418.post-4989338933999569442</id><published>2010-11-11T09:46:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-11-11T09:54:22.432-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Number Recognition...</title><content type='html'>This is a fun little activity that you can play with your preschooler.

So what I recommend is have your child(ren) drink their juice through a straw. If your child(ren) drinks from a straw, this is known to slow down the process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The juice will bypass your child(ren)’s teeth; unlike if they were drinking it directly from their sippy cup or from a regular cup. You can also buy those sippy cups that have the straw already built in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does your toddler still use a bottle for a pacifier? I would suggest that you start ASAP; putting plain water in their bottle especially right before bedtime. Parents you don’t want that acid or sugar sitting on their teeth all night long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can also water down their juice; half juice, half water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Always remember to brush your child(ren)’s teeth after every major meal; or at least twice a day...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mylivesignature.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/352/54C12E96EE1C55FE7EB39320B00C140F.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0 !important; background: transparent;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/2795618160906524522/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/childrens-tooth-decay.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/2795618160906524522'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/2795618160906524522'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/11/childrens-tooth-decay.html' title='Child(ren)’s Tooth Decay...'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15504777155745329978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawyy52FNlj-286iW95DtoaDntk_Z8Vd4CH9ww7rsGBZg3FwYzvDXYOEMDHBJ9gz1Tzef5YgVVe5QLi3vHU7K9B6IvXwvYsbDQgjH5Sv7bJj9qWulXO0gSMH8J_spQwQ/s220/pic1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098098323335679418.post-7430563590444533245</id><published>2010-10-28T18:32:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-29T14:32:02.429-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Your Newborn will Not Stop Crying...</title><content type='html'>First thing I would recommend; is if you feel that your newborn is crying more than normal. You need to get in touch with your pediatrician, and let them know what is going on; to see if your baby needs to be seen. Now after you have done that first step and all is well, in which it should be. You can see if this works for your baby. This is a little trick that just fell into our laps.&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you feel that you have tried everything you can think of. While having your baby in your arms turn on your tap water. Your newborn will calm down when they hear the water running. We asked our pediatrician why does the baby calm down when they hear the water running. He told us; the sound of the water running is close to the same sound that the baby was used to when they are inside the womb. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So try this when your baby starts crying and you can’t seem to calm he or her down. Go turn on your tap water, and see if they calm down when they hear it. If the sound of your tap water doesn’t work very well. Then go to your shower and turn it on, it makes a louder noise than your tap water running. It will more than likely put them right to sleep. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now if you don’t want to waste water. Just record the sound of the water running, and push the play button. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just a simple home remedy!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mylivesignature.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/352/54C12E96EE1C55FE7EB39320B00C140F.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0 !important; background: transparent;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/7430563590444533245/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/10/your-newborn-will-not-stop-crying.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/7430563590444533245'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/7430563590444533245'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/10/your-newborn-will-not-stop-crying.html' title='Your Newborn will Not Stop Crying...'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15504777155745329978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawyy52FNlj-286iW95DtoaDntk_Z8Vd4CH9ww7rsGBZg3FwYzvDXYOEMDHBJ9gz1Tzef5YgVVe5QLi3vHU7K9B6IvXwvYsbDQgjH5Sv7bJj9qWulXO0gSMH8J_spQwQ/s220/pic1.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098098323335679418.post-2044049074843098906</id><published>2010-10-24T09:44:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2010-10-24T10:39:24.993-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Steps To: Potty Training Your Toddler...</title><content type='html'>&lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF9900;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;This Potty Training Method worked for our little guys.

Buy a couple of packets or more of underwear; trust me you will need them. You don’t want to feel you are spending more time in the laundry room than you are with your toddler in the bathroom. You will feel that way if you only buy one pack of underwear. Because the first day, even going into the second day you will be taking a lot of messy underwear off of them, so you need a lot of back up. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 22.0pxcolor:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF9900;&quot;&gt;Step 2.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt; When at your Favorite Store.

You need to have it finished before you start the potty training with your toddler. The potty chart plays a big part in the potty training. You are going to make up a homemade Potty Chart. Just get out a plain piece of paper, put your son or daughter’s name at the top, and then state the days of the week below the title on your potty chart.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 22.0pxcolor:#404040;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF9900;&quot;&gt;Step 5.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt; Show your toddler the Potty Chart and let them know that after they have completely filled the whole Potty Chart with stickers.

You will need to get one of their special stuffed animals, and tell your toddler that their special stuffed animal is going to learn how to use the potty. By putting on one of your toddler’s new underwear on the stuffed animal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 22.0pxcolor:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF9900;&quot;&gt;Step 8. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;Put your toddler’s  potty chart up where your toddler can see it. You will then need to get their big kid underwear.

This is from our personal experience, and also from other parents stories. You will need to take your toddler to the potty pretty much every fifteen to twenty minutes. Watch your toddlers expression. You know your toddler; if they look like they are concentrating too hard, run them to the potty.  If you decided to included the stuffed animal, you need to take the stuffed animal with you also and make the stuffed animal look like it is going to the potty. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 22.0pxcolor:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF9900;&quot;&gt;Step 10. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;Make this whole experience for your toddler a joyful one. This is going to be a lot of hard work; stay consistent and stay positive. Get excited when they start using the potty. When you show them how happy and excited you are every time they go to the potty. Your toddler will start to get really excited also. Then all of a sudden they want to keep doing it over and over again, because they get a sticker to put on their potty chart. But they will also start getting excited when they see mommy and daddy so excited, when they use the potty. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica;  min-height: 22.0pxcolor:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#CCCCCC;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF9900;&quot;&gt;Stay consistent I cannot stress this enough!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;letter-spacing: 0.0px&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF9900;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style=&quot;margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 18.0px Helvetica; color:#333333;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;color:#FF9900;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;If you have a Potty Training story or tip.

Let your child(ren) know that they are going to become mommies little helper once you get to the grocery store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Get your child(ren) excited. Remember to try to say it with a lot of enthusiasm in your voice...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once you get to the store; have your child(ren) be in charge of the grocery list. Make them feel important; like they are holding the golden ticket.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on their age; while holding on to the grocery list aka golden ticket. Have your child(ren) help you pick out the items that are on the list, and put it in the cart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course if you have more than one child. You can create different job duties that each one will have. One could be in charge of the grocery list; while the other is putting the items from the list in the cart etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This will hopefully help to keep your child(ren) out of Mischief; while at the grocery store.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;Make it Fun Happy Shopping...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-family:arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mylivesignature.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/352/54C12E96EE1C55FE7EB39320B00C140F.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0 !important; background: transparent;&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/8061919935503676276/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/07/going-grocery-shopping-put-your.html#comment-form' title='14 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/8061919935503676276'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/8061919935503676276'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2010/07/going-grocery-shopping-put-your.html' title='Going Grocery Shopping???

Our son that is now in the first grade this year was a homeschooler last year. The kind of homeschool our son had was through a charter school (I loved it:-) It was a great program. Our son was of course a kindergartner, middle ways through the year he was reading at a high first grade, low second grade reading level (this was awesome:-)... He did have a teacher assigned to him, that he would see once a week (but all in all, I was his teacher:-). Our son is now in Public School this year; the reason my hubby and I decided to do homeschool last year. Was because there were no schools close to where we live (they were building a school about two blocks from our house). So now the school year is here (and well on its way), and the public school that they were building is now open. We decided to do public school this year, I have to say I&#39;m not so sure. You would think for a school that just opened this year, would be trying really hard to prove they are going to be a great school. I&#39;m sad to say a lot of the parents including my hubby and I are becoming disappointed. You have probably heard different stories, or your probably going through it your self. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: large;&quot;&gt;I would love your input mommies?

I would definitely have to say that it&#39;s not the easiest thing to do while driving. It really got me thinking in the aspects of my children; my children&#39;s safety is number one in my life, and trying to answer, dial, or text while driving with or without my children in the car; I would have to agree that it is unsafe. To be quite honest with all of you; I never considered my cell phone to be a distraction at the end of the day.  So does that make me a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt;horrible&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:large;&quot;&gt; mother?  No I don&#39;t think so. It just makes me now more aware, that I need to rethink what I thought wasn&#39;t a big deal, now is and always has been a Big Deal. The way that this email was presented to me, has really made me aware... I&#39;m going to from here on out, only answer my phone when I am parked in a parking lot same with trying to dial out. I never want to put my family&#39;s life or others in danger.

The other night he came to us and said, &quot;Ok Daddy I&#39;m ready for you to pull it now,&quot; and opened his month as big as he could. My hubby didn&#39;t even have to touch the tooth to see if it was ready to be pulled or not; you could just see that it was holding on by a thread (by a little bite of skin)... My hubby wrapped some string around it, and with in a blink of an eye the tooth was out. Our son started screaming, &quot;The Tooth Fairy Is Coming Tonight,&quot; over, and over again (he was so excited). He gave daddy a big huge and said, &quot;thanks daddy it didn&#39;t hurt,&quot; &quot;how much money do you think the tooth fairy will give me?&quot; We just started laughing; we couldn&#39;t believe that a 6 year old would be wondering about the profit that he would be receiving from the tooth fairy (what a character). The Tooth Fairy came later that night when he was fast asleep. Because the next morning our son came running into our room yelling at the top of his lungs, &quot;The Tooth Fairy came,&quot; &quot;The Tooth Fairy came,&quot; &quot;she gave me a whole dollar.&quot; That child was acting like he won the lotto... But all in all, just to see him so happy was a good day :-)  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mylivesignature.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54487/352/54C12E96EE1C55FE7EB39320B00C140F.png&quot; style=&quot;border: 0 !important; background: transparent;&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/feeds/7636245421879421606/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2009/10/tooth-fairy-came-last-night.html#comment-form' title='10 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/7636245421879421606'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6098098323335679418/posts/default/7636245421879421606'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://womanandmom.blogspot.com/2009/10/tooth-fairy-came-last-night.html' title='The Tooth Fairy Came Last Night...'/><author><name>Kris</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15504777155745329978</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhawyy52FNlj-286iW95DtoaDntk_Z8Vd4CH9ww7rsGBZg3FwYzvDXYOEMDHBJ9gz1Tzef5YgVVe5QLi3vHU7K9B6IvXwvYsbDQgjH5Sv7bJj9qWulXO0gSMH8J_spQwQ/s220/pic1.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh47TrqnLFnGtFklVvV5qCNeCS8WDEab1dc4FgFU9bcPjsJsZnyYvs24-fRsOWWL1Cmm7_GRhZkiZSnxG55_6byOiz5L_0yRGzCPfCWpC7yiUNsUK2PqHqako5CFezyFNg-q2vyywWwX9Q/s72-c/o.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>10</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6098098323335679418.post-8789821423473277203</id><published>2009-09-29T12:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T15:06:08.969-08:00</updated><title type='text'>One Lovely Blog Award!!!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio5OjFWhMZcwb0Yuv8df-R0VOi46tHdlVD6O3Iy7g2mXuqWjLH50hqG2BZIiBPrCj7u5uEXSQdPjYz_lGLFi9bzi6rxHeR5Fo3IrqUfDyw_Ea6l4UY1ctIhGoeGqEzt8ZCeAoB83uv-a4/s1600-h/lovelyblog.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 150px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio5OjFWhMZcwb0Yuv8df-R0VOi46tHdlVD6O3Iy7g2mXuqWjLH50hqG2BZIiBPrCj7u5uEXSQdPjYz_lGLFi9bzi6rxHeR5Fo3IrqUfDyw_Ea6l4UY1ctIhGoeGqEzt8ZCeAoB83uv-a4/s200/lovelyblog.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386969699865522146&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;This is really exciting, thank you so much Jeniel at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://whatswrongwithmommy.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&quot;What&#39;s Wrong With Mommmy.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt; For giving me the &quot;One Lovely Blog Award&quot;:-)... &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;line-height: 20px; &quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot;  style=&quot;font-size:medium;&quot;&gt;The rules for the One Lovely Blog Award are:&lt;br /&gt;Accept the award; post it on your blog together with the name of the person who has granted the award, and his or her blog link.
