Do they crack you up with silly faces or silly sounds? Do they dance to certain songs or music? Do they do something silly when they are excited?
Share the silly side of your LO!

Yikes, hopefully she is feeling better and you have contacted her doctor to figure out what is going on.
We do have a First Aid Guide for Nosebleeds which may be helpful. Also, keep our First Aid & Emergency Guide bookmarked on your computer for an easy-to-find resource for minor emergencies.
Please check in to let us know how she is doing.

I am sorry to hear you are struggling with these issues. I know you want to know if your son is OK and also figure out how to help him communicate and potty train, one of the best things you can do is schedule an appointment with his pediatrician to go over your concerns, your son's behaviors and responses.
It is difficult to give answers over a message board, but we can provide you with some resources to help out. You can also post specific questions to Dr. Benaroch, our expert on our Parenting Community for possible response.

Dr. Seuss sounds fun! You will have to post pics, can't wait to see the cake and shirt.
A friend of ours had a party and used these. She made signs copied out of books for signs at each game or station.
Use a Dr. Suess book for guests to write bday greetings in. Have a sign that says "Wait! Stop! Take a look! Grab a pen and open the book! Leave a birthday wish or just say "Hi" to the birthday the birthday guy."
Signs directing guests "To There" "To Here"...
Games - Put the Fish back in the bowl. Ring the Gack. Hop on Pop, hopping game or bounce house.View Thread

At our house, our mischievous leprechaun, John, arrives to turn our house topsy turvy - green toilet water, green milk, coffee table and pictures upside down.
I am wondering how many other homes the leprechauns visit. How do you celebrate St. Patty's Day?

I say all that because recently, both his grandmother and two daycare teachers have told me he is holding his urine. I put him to bed dry around 8:30pm, he wakes up dry at 7:00 AM. I put him on the potty but he won't use it. I take him to daycare at 8, but he won't pee until 10 or 10:30 there---and when he does, it's a LOT of pee. This has been in the span of a month or so. He isn't showing any discomfort and pees pretty liberally here at home but I have noticed him holding it in the mornings with me so I know he is holding it sometimes. he's been to the doctor since the first occurence and it seemed like a fluke, but he's done it since then and now I'm not sure if this is just an aversion to potty training or a sign of a serious medical condition. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.View Thread
I think we all learn from our past experiences, so truth time - Is there anything you have done that you wouldn't want your child to ever know about?

Gross factor aside, I hope your pediatrician was able to assure you all is OK.

Watching the news of survivors, destruction and the number of deaths is very disturbing. I have tried to shield my 7 year old from the news, but she did see the news this morning and she has lots of questions.
Check in and let us know how your weekend was and what you have planned for this week.
