As I read this I am thankful for our SMOs. Just reading the othe posts, I was thinking of Sonny Boys gait and wonder how much bouncier it would be without his SMOs. His calfs are already VERY impressive. He has PT, OT and speech. We have some sensory issues - irratic. IMHO, it is good to...

I just don't allow their tantrums to interfer with anything in my house. You can have one in your room in your bed with the lights out and I'll come get you when it's time for lunch, if you ahae been quiet. Yes, I'm that mean. I just don't put up with that carp. Crying, whining, throwing yourself...

Quote: I guess I am guilty of asking the same thing too though. When I see a CC couple with an AA or Asian baby I just assumed they adopted and I have asked if that their son or daughter because I wanna let them know we adopted too I'm playing the devils advocate here...

Here is an article, reminds me of the 70's. There is a link on the side that speaks of what the recession has done to Blacks. I noted one part of the article where one who said, I should have stayed old school with my finances. Dh and I was just speaking on this in the am. I also note that there...

Most agencies require you to be at least 25 & some of them want you to be older if you're single.

Now seriously, how long could traffic possibly be held up? I mean, it doesn't take 1 horse very long to move. Around here, if everyone got paid on Friday and we all went to the same bank at the same time, I'd have to wait in line about 15 or 20 minutes. My town is the one where folks make...

My son is also turning five...trying to be independent and still cling to mom. I think it is a really hard age...well I try to convince myself of this Lol...kindergarten, no longer a toddler...etc. We went out of town to a large city, small town here, and he kept trying to walk by himself. He...

I do enjoy rocking them - it's not that I don't! It's just hard to juggle twins by myself during the day and trying to get one to sleep for a nap while the other is crying, etc. My DH is a teacher - we have about 2.5 weeks until he goes back to work, and I was really hoping by then that they...

You know, while I'm pumping the due pulse from pink to white and sometimes blue. I just figured it was from the suction. But, that explanation does sound right. Thanks for the suggestion!

im sure some of you have been wondering what is going on with us and with our baby boy. well...im not 100% sure whats going on, and that hurts...so it is hard to talk about. and that is the reason i have not been blogging lately. im about 95 percent sure that things are still moving forward towards...

The other thing I wanted to say is that pushing around a cute little AA baby in a stroller is much different than an older AA child or teenager walking around the neighborhood or the mall. Those who have not gotten there yet don't have much experience with that. Having to explain racism to your...

i have a 5 yo DD and am working on baby #2. not crazy. but i think life will be full! i did change jobs about 6 months ago and cut from 40 hrs to 36 hrs. i needed a less stressful job, but not because of my parenting. it's amazing how an afternoon a week makes such a big difference. it was...

The only person in my family who knows that I'm planning to adopt is my little sister & a few friends. I haven't told anyone else because I already know how each will react. My stepmom will be totally negative only because she thinks that I was put on this earth to serve her until the day she...

I wonder if its wise to start listing my dh's quirks. LOL A friend of mine is prone to anemia, and she will start to crunch ice.
