Anytime we ask Aydin if he did "something" we asked him to do (ie: "did you clean your room?"0 THe response is always the same......"not even close" and he is dead serious when he says it. We giggle every time, but he remains stoic.

I am not sure of the science behind it. It has something to do with the heat the vicks creates causes blood to rush to the feet , therefore increasing circulation, hence easing congestion. ( i actually googled it to find some kind of answer for you ) Here is a quick example, the kids are...

Try putting Vicks vapor rub on their feet and then put socks on right before bed, you can still put it on their chest too. It is like a miracle. No all night coughing, a good night sleep for everyone. I do this when I am sick too.

My advice for the "why" or the "what" questions is simply to ask him or her. Ex: kid-"why is the sky blue?" You- " Why do you think it is blue?" Kid- " what is this (holding a toy truck)" you- "what do you think it is?" This has cut down on the questions in my house ALOT!!! Try it it...

I think kids know and understand more than we think/expect them to when it comes to death. My 4 and 3 yo do the same thing to us. My 4 yo has said to me before " just kill me , i just want to die....etc..." Not good! IT makes me very sad that she would come up with these kind of things to...

xo= hugs and kisses M-L-E = Emily ( my name )

It is fuuny that you say all of that. I had that arguement with my parents a couple of years ago about just that. They wanted us to "sneak out" to avoid the crying, but I thought the kids deserved a goodbye! It was a learning lesson for me, so the kids could learn that we might leave but we...

I know!!!! and I am just terrible at that! I can't help it, I am such a pushover for them....:o So today was day two and I took DD to her class and DH took DS to his, that worked out much better ( for me) DS did not cry , he just looked like he wanted to. But his teacher is fantastic and...

seems like two weeks might be the concensus here, huh? Good thing Dad will be dropping off the majority of the time!!!! I know he will be fine It just felt like he was looking at me like I was just breaking his heart. Thanks for the comfort everyone.

Long story short, I was a stay at home Mom for the first few years of my kids life. Then when I went back to work we took them to a in home sitter two maybe three days a week. Then DH got diagnosed with Leukemia, and has been a stay at home home for about 6 months now. They still went to the...

Both of mine stopped napping around 2 yo. We switched to rest time, they had to stay in their room for an hour or so, they could play etc... just as long as they were quiet. Sometimes they would fall asleep, mostly not though. But it gave me a break and time to do what I needed, and it gave...

Our kids shrink just offered some advice on this. She says to say " excuse YOU, wait your turn", or something along those lines, when they interrupt, therefore putting it back on them. My kids seem to respond very well to this. We had been doing it the other way... " you need to say excuse...

I actually let my parents pick what they wanted to be called. Luckily though I had the luxury of having the first grandchildren. After lots of discussion they finally deceided on Granny and GrandBob ( my dads name is Bob- obviously) Ultimately though all that matters is that they are even...

We are terrible at discipline. I think DH is too strict and he thinks I am to easy. But in reality we both are push-overs. We give waaaay too many chances. :o But it does seem to work for us.

Emma will play in her room for hours. Her imagination astounds me! Aydin- well he plays everywhere. But toys are only aloud in their rooms or in the toy room.

I usually glob on the thick high SPF from a tube. It's messy, and my hands never get as tan as the rest of me, but I feel like I have more control over putting it on them. I am going to get the colored stuff, the kids would think its cool!!!!
