Dirty Teddy Bears!

My now 2-yr. old received her fair share of teddy bears over the last 2 years - most of them are WHITE! Adorable, but what were they thinking?! Can anyone share their experiences/success stories with just throwing them in the washer? This is dirt that cannot be dabbed off :) Thanks!!

What are popular summer activities with kids

I'm sure some of you have some great ideas for summer activities that are fun and inexpensive. We do not have a pool and are on water restrictions so our outdoor activities are limited for most of the day. I'm looking for some fun things to do at home with my girls. I'd love to hear your ideas, but please do not suggest movies, video games, or computer activities. I'd like to stay away from that as much as possible. Can't wait to hear your responses.

4 Year Old Always Says "I'm a Good Boy"

Hi there... this is totally new to me... so please be patient. I have recently started babysitting my 4 year old godson. My issue is that he is CONSTANTLY saying things like "I'm a good boy" when I am punishing my 4 year old as well as other kids I babysit. He has done this type of thing for as long as I can remember. Even when he was just 2. He is always repeating himself, like for example... for fighting this morning I took the boys fav teddy bears away for a set amount of time. My son got mad... but my godson says (about every 5 mins or...

First Baby Doll

My daughter is about to turn one, and I thought I'd get her a little baby doll for her birthday. I'd like to get something soft and simple, since she's really too young for a proper doll. You'd think this would be easy, right? But I'm kind of overwhelmed by all the choices. So far I've liked the Corolle Babipouce, Baby Stella, and the Gund soft baby dolls. Any other recommendations or opinions?

Toy Ideas for Daughter's Christmas & First Birthday

My daughter turns one on Dec. 30, and I'm looking for some toy or other gift ideas from Moms with little girls for her first birthday (and Christmas, since they are so close to one another)! We really haven't bought her much of anything of her own since she was born ... she plays with all her brother's toys from when he was a baby (they are 22 months apart). I have no clue where to start with girl toys that are well loved (and played with for more than a day!) by little ones ... it's taken me this long to figure out boy toys for my...

Need Evening Indoor Activities for 2-Yr. Old Not Always Interested in Toys

A little background: I teach 9th grade English full time at a fairly demanding Eastside junior high. I am fortunate to get about a half-hour to an hour of "down time" (or work time) when I get home from school before my son wakes up from his nap, but am generally pretty tired in the evenings and need to make dinner, do bath time, and bedtime routine solo, since my husband is working nights right now. Issue/question: Especially in these dark winter months, I seem to be lacking the planning ability to keep my toddler entertained or...
