I did! I want to learn more about the blonde lady (juliette, i think)......Anyways, I couldnt believe when she said she had been there for 3 1/2 years and she was finally going to be able to go home.....was she also being held against her will?? 

Also, did that guy arrange for the bus to hit her ex-husband?? He seems really weird, I wonder where he fits in with the "Others"....

Although the episode was really good, once again it leaves me with more questions!!! I cant wait for next week!

Jacob had to go through a breathing treatment, once. At the time he really liked playing with the car keys, so I let him play with those. I also had a couple other toys for him to stay occupied. He was around 8 months old. He was still pretty squirmy, but it did help to keep him still for a while. Try bringing his favorite toys, or maybe things that he likes to play with but isnt allowed to, like car keys. I never let Jacob really play with them, so when I did give it to him, it kept him busy.

Hope this helped you.

I just looked this up at babiesrus.com Its a bottle warmer. Its a pretty reasonable price too. Maybe you could also heat up the milk, and wrap in a little wash cloth or something and put into the diaper bag. That might be enough to keep it warm. I think your best bet is to buy a bottle warmer like the one at babiesrus. I am sure they also have some at Walmart or Target.

Hope this helped!

With a cough I usually go to the dr. Only if it sounds more like a deep wet cough. If it seems to get worse, or doesnt get any better I would go.

Hope he gets feeling better!!

I would take him to see the dr. Our kids have had many rashes, although non of them ever looked like that. We were always told it was an allergic reaction, although we were never able to find out what it was to. They would just prescribe some medicine and by the next day the rashes usually were going away. I always get nervous with rashes...I think if it is an allergic reaction I want them to see the dr ASAP just in case it starts to close up their breathing. Better safe than sorry!!

I hope he gets feeling better!! Let us know what happens.

Heather

I just found a link with a whole bunch of info on rashes. Its everything from common rashes in children to when you should call the dr. Hope this helps a little.

Here is the story.........My son is 6 years old and in Kindergarten. He has been getting into a lot of trouble lately with talking, not sharing, and today hitting another little boy. I have tried everything with him....When he does good he is praised, and on special occasions rewarded. When he misbehaves, he is disciplined by having things taken away....Tv, games, etc.... 

Just this Monday I had a conference with his teacher and we talked about him and his behavior. I told her I have told Steven that if this continues I will come into the classroom and sit with him until he can start minding the teacher and start following the rules. Well, he did good Tuesday and Wednesday, and I praised him so much. I told him how happy I am with him, and how good it is that he is minding. Well, yesterday when school was let out his teacher came to tell me that he ripped another boys valentine. So we have now arranged for me to come in Tuesday and sit with him. I asked Steven why he did it, and he said because he was about to rip his. I explained to him that if that was the case he needed to go and tell the teacher, by ripping his valentine he himself got into trouble. So he ended up loosing his tv privileges for the night. Well, this morning I reminded him about minding and told him he needed to apologize to the boy, and his teacher for misbehaving. He said okay, and things seemed to be okay........Until around 8:39 this morning. His teacher called to let me know that he was sent to RTC (its like detention) for hitting another boy in the stomach. She asked me if anything was going on at home that could be causing him to be acting out. I told her no. I have been sick all week, so things have been really unorganized, and we havent been doing much, but other than that nothing has been going on. I did get the number for the school psychologist, and have left a message. I feel that I have tried everything that I know, and right now I dont know what else to do. I dont know if there is something going on that he will not talk about, I just dont know. I hope to have a meeting with the psychologist, and maybe she can help to see if there is something else going on that I cant see. He is only in Kindergarten and I really feel like this is my only chance to turn things around. I really fear that if things are not dealt with now, things are only going to get worse, and that is something I do not want for my son, or for my family.

If any of you have any suggestions or have been through something like this before please help!!

No, we were planning to register him for Karate, but the classes started at 7:30 and ended at 8:30.....that was way too late for him to stay up on school nights. They are always sending home flyers for classes every couple of months. I told him the next time they send one home we will sign up.

I was hoping if he had extra curricular activities that it might help him with his social interacting. He isnt very good with sports so baseball wouldnt really help....if anything I think it would only frustrate him more.

Heather

Thank you for all the help. I can definitely relate with SJ.....Steven is also shy and at times can be insecure....he is a very sensitive boy. With him hitting I am more concerned than angry.....this has shown me that there is something going on with him that I am not aware of. Here at home when he gets angry it usually has to do him not being heard. He gets frustrated and lashes out.

Steven is now home (early release today) and I asked him what happened. He said the boy was taking bubble gum from another kid and Steven said he cant have bubble gum, he said that he didnt listen and that is why he hit him. I have told him many times you cant hit other people to get them to listen. I told him he needed to go to the teacher and tell them.

As for our home life, his dad is around. We all live happily together. So I know it doesnt have anything to do with that. What I feel it is, is that he doesnt know how to express himself. He gets very frustrated and then lashes out. I hope that talking with the psychologist we can find a way to help him express himself without becoming violent.
