How long did you swaddle your baby?
My son loves to be swaddled! When he was 5 months old I decided I wanted to break him of it, well he's now 6 and a half months old and for the last month or so I've not gotten a good nights sleep. So I swaddled him for a nap and he's been out the last 2 hours. He loves it, and I'm worried he'll outgrow the swaddle itself before he'll outgrow wanting it. Haha! I'm not in a huge hurry for him to grow up or anything, but it did get me curious about other babies and swaddling. How long did you…See More

Your car seat has an expiration date!
Posted on March 24, 2011 at 9:22pm 9 Comments 6 Likes
I've been thinking about this today. Not many people know this but your carseat does in fact, have an expiration date. Look on the bottom, sometimes it's hard to find. You will find it imprinted there. Even after the date it may seem like it's together, but the reason for this is because everything suffers normal wear and tear. Carseats are no different. After the expiration date it is possible that your carseat may malfunction from an accident or just for no particular reason, at which point… Continue

valdezfamilyof6 said… - Honestly it isn't going good at all....... his teacher is really mean. We have caught her yelling and really being mean to my son. He is scared and not confident in himself. He doesn't wanna learn or is scared because of his teacher. I'm trying to move him into a different room but the princable is trying to say let's put him back kindergarden. But y? They are already labeling my son that he can't do it. I wanna get him in a new class and a tutor then hope it starts to get better. I hope he will make progress to move to secondgrade by may. If not then 1st again. But I need help on getting the school to do what I think is best for my son. Not what they think?????? What u think about all this???
