I wanted to give everyone a little time to get used to the forums, the service, etc.; before hopping on. I wanted to say "hi" to everyone. I am glad to see so many members in such a short time. I hope you are all having a good time on MommyTalk. Trust me, it's going to get even more fun. The company and I are excited about some of the new services you will get in the next few days. We will have a complete email system, complete with your own new email address (I told my brother-in-law that this was the best, because i can't get a Lorraine@.... email anywhere - they are all taken up). Also, we will all have some different background customization options (color schemes - they look really nice). Lot's more to come over the next few weeks and months, but you are going to love the new changes happening this weekend. Sorry about all of that company ramble, but I felt like sharing. It's exciting. I am really looking forward to chatting with all of you. So many interesting people have signed up already. I might not get any of my housework done! Now I have to go shopping for my little men. Chat soon!

One's not old enough to play around, but the other two love it. Don't know about girls, we havent had one just yet. But I would guess that tea party or dress up with friends would probably be a big hit. Dress up kinda goes with the beaded necklaces too.
Raine Joined: 8/06/06 Posts: 935	Title: Adding friends? Posted: 4 yearss ago Yeah, i have a nice list of friends with my account. I told my family and friends to sign up. You can also invite them by clicking on "invite" in the top bar of options. You get an email that you can send to your friends. I told them my username in the email, so that once they signed up, they could search (also in the top) for my profile by typing in my username. They get to a page that they see my pic and name, and can go to my profile and send me an invitation to join my friends. Also, if your profile is locked to only allow friends and family to view, it will pull up a page saying so. They can shoot you an email for you to accept them and give them access to your page. For security and privacy. Yeah, build your friends list. Makes it easy to see your friends pages and communicate to each other. : )

I want everyone to get help when they need it, father and mother alike. Keep up the question asking, you are coming to the right place.

Raine Joined: 8/06/06 Posts: 935	Title: hi Posted: 4 yearss ago Simon is so cute. Welcome. Great to have you here. Is Simon your first child? I have 3 boys, it only gets better.
Raine Joined: 8/06/06 Posts: 935	Title: myspace Posted: 4 yearss ago Yeah, myspace has some good stuff. I just didn't like the drama as well, or all of the people on it. I wanted a place that will have all of the features of myspace, without the college boys on it! I don't want those types of people viewing my family.
Raine Joined: 8/06/06 Posts: 935	Title: myspace Posted: 4 yearss ago Sally, Yeah, it's me. Thanks for the profile nod, I really liked that background. There are so many cool new features coming out, it's going to look even cuter! Thanks for the kind words, we are really working on making MommyTalk.com everything that it can. I just love the idea of having people like me online. I mean, can't parents have a place online too. I think that a site like MommyTalk will only work to make parenting easier. I hope everyone else feels the same way. We shouldn't be afraid of technology as much as understand ways in which it can help us. So, thanks Sally, you have been a really great MommyTalker.
Raine Joined: 8/06/06 Posts: 935	Title: hi Posted: 4 yearss ago We went to Outback with all three boys tonight, of course with our extended family. Yeah, not the greatest. I really love (not so much) the look and understood notion that parenting and raising children is easier that what it is! I mean, it's not easy. Everyday is a new challenge! Even with three. I say, enjoy the first. If you think you want another one, chances are you will already be working your way towards one before you realize. That's what we did.
Raine Joined: 8/06/06 Posts: 935	Title: Formula Feedings Posted: 4 yearss ago Rule of thumb, your baby will let you know when s/he is hungry. If babies eat too much then they tend to spit up. I have three boys and all of them were on formula (one still is). When they were younger I would give them four ounces every three to four hours as they got older I would increase gradually to six and then eight ounces. Keep in mind that the more you feed your baby in one sitting the farther apart the feeding times should be. Only you and your baby no how much is too much. Regardless how your childcare provider feels, you are your babies mother and what you say goes. If you do not agree then you should sit down and talk it over. Hope this helps.

It was difficult on us because our son would come walking out of his bedroom over and over again before we could convince him that it was time for bed and not play. Our second son made the transition early also, because we found out that we were having another baby and would need the crib. In this case we made the move fairly early because we did not want him to connect his loosing his bed to receiving a new sibling and become jealous. We made a mistake with him, we took him out of his bed but had not broken him of the binky yet. So, we ended up putting him back in his crib for a week, taking the binky away, and then put him back in the toddler bed. He loves his bed. In your case, your little girl is definatly at a good age. Just prepare yourself for her ups and downs. Invest in a baby gate to put in front of her doorway this will help keep her in her bedroom. Most importantly be consistant when mom and dad say that it is bed time, it's bed time and that's it. I still struggle with my two year old because he and his older brother share a room and he can't understand why he is going to bed but his brother is staying up. Good Luck!

Exposing your little girl to the public may it be play groups, preschool, or kindergarten can be one of the best things you can do for her immune system. If she is never around germs then her immune system will not learn to battle in the fight. Trust me a little runny nose or cough is no big deal. My primary care doctor told me that the average child will have at least six colds in a one year time span. My suggestion to you is, put her back in daycare or at least a playgroup. My boys have been going to preschool and a babysitter for quite some time now and their immune systems are continuously getting stronger.

He began in a Pre-pre-K class and now he is in Pre-K. Last year we thought that our son may have had a speech delay and were worried about our options. After expressing my concerns with his teacher we began to have short conferences almost every afternoon through the end of the school year. I feel that having a teacher that is concerned about that concerns of the parents plays an important role in a good education. Now, we see a hugh improvement in our sons speech and are extreamly pleased with the help that we received. Open communication is key no matter where you decide to have your child educated.
