In fear of him getting seriously injured, he is required to wear a helmet at all times on the bike. I'm contemplating a full face helmet to protect his face. This will weigh significantly more than a traditional toddler helmet and I'm concerned about his neck if he does crash. Any thoughts from the experts on the pros and cons in this situation?
Obviously don't fall would be the best answer but accidents happen so.......View Thread

Let's share tips to make the "experience" as pleasant as possible.
My suggestions -
Take the large (vs umbrella) stroller. If you are lucky enough to exhaust your LO for a nap, lay them down for some uninterrupted shopping time.
Make a plan, make a list and organize coupons. discount cards and gift cards. I use a
Bring snacks and treats (maybe a new toy or book).
Plan in some play time, set up a good expectation or outcome - "As soon as I finish this, or after lunch we will get an ice cream or play at the playground.
If a meltdown happens - ignore the looks! Everyone knows it has happened to them!

Check in and let us know if you have purchased any holiday gifts or if you ventured out and braved Black Friday.
We returned home from a great vacation to a dead frig! Budgeting how to adjust for the new frig while thinking about holiday gifts!

Wishing you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving,

My nephew is half a year younger and he talks so much. He repeats after me. But when I ask my DD to repeat after me she will just say something like yes, sure,etc. I'm not sure why? My closest guess is that because we are bilingual. When my husband and I talk with her we speak our native language. But when hubby and I discuss our matters. It's always in English. I'm not sure if that's why? She doesn't understand much English though. She has started to count 1-5 in English and basic words and that's about it. Everything I say in German she understands. Simple directions or what not. She knows most simple vocabulary in German. Anyway, my biggest concern is, is she behind because of two languages in the home? I haven't talked with her pediatrician about this because when we went in for her two year check up. She was fine. She is not scheduled to been seen again till she turns three. Many bilingual moms tell me not to be concerned. But how can I not? When their toddlers are talking more than mine. And they are my DD age.
Anyone in similar shoes? I would love to hear something promising. Or a professional opinion.View Thread

I have heard from family, friends and co-workers. Other than no power and lots of debris, all are OK.
