SweetJudyB replied to Zealflyer's discussion 'Helping DS find his own interests'

"Yes, yes, yes. Our E is about to turn 4, and is NOT good with solo play. He is a social creature and has a hard time playing independently. The second we get home he wants to knock on the neighbors door and see if their two kids…"

SweetJudyB replied to Michael Tuchman's discussion 'Three Weeks'

"This exact questions is why we chose one preschool over another. Going to the school district preschool would have left us to cover 6 weeks over the course of the year. Next year, when we have to be on the district schedule, I'll…"

"I was on the fence about this one, but now will definitely see it. I just re-watched Lost in Translation (saw it last time when it was released). I cried at the end and also could see myself as Scarlett's character- stuck, lost,…"

SweetJudyB replied to G.G.'s discussion 'Ugh. School. Kindergarten. Help.'

"Thanks for this thread G.G. I too started here when E was a blob (inside or out, I forget). Turning 4 in a few weeks and I'm mentally preparing for preschool this fall. He's been in a home day care setting since 9…"

SweetJudyB replied to kommishoner's discussion 'Talking about Guns'

"I grew up around guns (thanks to my big brother). 4 yo E fits all the stereotypes about boys and guns. A stick turns into a gun, a sticker on his finger turns into a gun. He has squirt guns galore. Grammy sent him home with a…"

"My BIL and his wife are going through the same thing, but with just one 18 month old. I saw problems on both sides of their equation and have to say I'm not totally surprised. I've been urging my BIL to be more proactive, but…"

SweetJudyB replied to wookie's discussion 'Lego'

"I get the feeling that we're on the wrong end of the curve here- totally not into legos at this point in time and space. We had some of the larger duplo ones, but E didn't really get into them. I wouldn't be surprised if…"

SweetJudyB replied to Zealflyer's discussion 'A reasonable grocery budget'

"Ditto- I get myself all excited for finding great coupons, but when I get to the store, even with the coupon, it's still not a good deal, or it's just not something I want to feed the fam. My mom swears by Aldi, and we have one 30 minutes…"

"I'm getting a little sick of all these spin-off videos but this one did make me laugh. Some of it...err...may have hit a little close to home. But like most people said, I was in my most crunchy mama phase when I was pregnant with my first."

"So, I saw that a few days ago. I laughed at the 20 dollar maple syrup, because that's what we buy--and I have said "Ooh, only 20 dollars?" Then I went to the mamanatural site. I thought it was going to be a joke, but no. See,…"

The Oracle replied to SweetJudyB's discussion 'If you're not her, you know her'

"Oh, I certainly did some of those things, too. It's the self-righteousness about them, and the assumption that there's only one right way, that I like to think I dropped once I had kids."
