I went to Camp Santa Maria, up in the mountains here, in Colorado, every summer for a week. Some years, it was awesome, some year- not. We had cabins with individual beds. There would be 5 or 6 girls to a cabin (it was a co-ed camp) and 1 teen-age "…
Thanks for the update. It sounds like she felt you were genuinely taking her feelings into consideration. Sometimes that's all they need. And too, maybe because now she has a bed the same size as her big sister, she feels important. I love it!
Hey I got your email and just realized I forgot to reply Yes i would love a kid free lunch.
This week I have a new child in my daycare. Today is his first day and we are having an interesting time of it. This inspired me to write about how kids adjust to their daycare and what parents need to expect.Kids need stability as much as possible…
Here are some books that you can read with your baby or toddler and I have suggested the signs to use:
1.I Love You Mommy!(A Little Golden Book) signs to use: mommy, cat, dog, ball, hat, eat, hot and more
2. Goodnight Moon (Margaret Wise Brown) sign…
Krys, I taught Logan some sign and he STILL uses some of them. It was great and made requests so much easier before he could talk.
Great!
Actually Trudy I have already done that! I keep a deaf blog for Isaiah's Place. I will make a post with all the proper links.
Felicia, you might consider writing a post about what it's like to parent a deaf child. What are the joys and struggles? What has it taught you? What insights have you gained?
Also on this topic: Facebook Fan Kathy Niesen posted a link to her site,…
As my oldest is deaf, signing was just natural in our house. My 18 mo old has quite a vocabulary is sign and English.
Today I had an interview for the daycare. A mom and 8 month old baby came to see us! Mom was kind of frustrated with teaching her son Baby Sign, and she asked me if I thought it worked. I said, "I do! Baby Sign is AWESOME!" Here are some hints for m…
I agree with this above post, I think it is important for kids to take responsibility for their actions and to start at a young age. I also agree that it is our job as parents to be involved and to ask questions and do some generally prompting to he…
Yesterday, my 9 year old came home from my grandma's, and went about doing her chores. She never said a word about the science test that she had today that my grandma had told her to study for. She spent the evening playing and hanging out. I didn't…
Thanks for the morning sickness tips, Trudy! The baby is still afraid of the big girl bed, but we are working on it. We have until September. I'm sure she'll switch over by then!
Unfortunately we live in a culture that has forgotten how to be creative. Children growing up today expect to be entertained 24/7. You are correct in saying that imagination is important. It is. How in the world are our children going to solve probl…
Right on!

Your Child's First Week At Daycare

Baby Sign Language- Does It Work?
Today I had an interview for the daycare. A mom and 8 month old baby came to see us! Mom was kind of frustrated with teaching her son Baby Sign, and she asked me if I thought it worked. I said, "I do! Baby Sign is AWESOME!"
Here are some hints for making baby sign work for you:
1. Don't start too early.

At what age do we begin to expect our children to take responsibility for their actions?
Yesterday, my 9 year old came home from my grandma's, and went about doing her chores. She never said a word about the science test that she had today that my grandma had told her to study for. She spent the evening playing and hanging out. I didn't think anything of it because she never has homework, and on the rare occasion that she does, it's always done at my grandma's. When I spoke to my grandma later that evening, she advised me that Catie had a science test today and needed help studying.… Continue

It's okay to let kids play alone
"What do you mean my child isn't allowed to watch Sponge Bob here?" I was asked.
I'm writing about this today because I just lost a client who said that because of my pregnancy, her son wasn't getting the attention she thought that he needed and I wouldn't let him watch his favorite shows on TV. He had said he was bored when I had quiet time at my house, which, I will admit, is a little more often since I am an "all-day-sickness" instead of "morning-sickness" sufferer. I have had to add some ad… Continue

- Hi Krysia. Just thought I'd check in with you and see how things are going. Hope the daycare business has taken off. If not, we'll think of some ways to get the word out again. Also, if you have any information that you need that you can't find on the site, message me and I'll find it for you. Have a great day.
