Hi all,
I found this great group last year, and their advice actually stopped Tom’s cavities in their tracks. It wasn’t easy, but neither is losing teeth!
Check out the yahoo groups alternativekidsteeth and veryyoungkidsteeth.
We’ve been trying to sell our house for over three months now and it’s been hard for me and for Tom, and probably for Aaron as well (to a much lesser extent).
We’ve had over 50 shows, 10 offers (4 of which we accepted and they ended up using contingencies to get out of the deal, [...]
Wow. Yesterday I thought this election was important. Today I watched as the entire convention chanted “drill! drill! drill!” holding up signs saying ’drill Alaska now’ with a huge image of some beautiful pristine area in the background. These guys will leave this country in ruins given the chance.
And then Sarah Palin spoke. Wow. She just said [...]
Every election in my lifetime has seemed pivotal, and this one is no exception. As Tom’s first election, this has more weight to me than any previously. This really could effect the quality of air he breaths, the wilderness he can camp in, and whether or not he will be proud to be an American [...]

An article in Science Daily explains why breastfeeding helps with IQ. Apparently it helps raise IQ for 90% of babies, which is pretty cool! One more reason to feel good about our decisions to breastfeed.
“In two studies of breast-fed infants involving more than 3,000 children in Britain and New Zealand, breastfeeding was found to raise [...]
we watched the dnc last night while Tom played, clapped with the crowd, snuggled… I hope we get a democrat in office. With the way the republicans are wasting all our money, racking up debt, selling off our natural resources, it seems like the world (or at least our part of it) will be so [...]
there’s an article today in a South African news site (iol.co.za) called Play-back time, where they say that 79% mothers polled, from 10 countries, believe that ”people in my country have forgotten the importance of learning through play and other unstructured experiences for children.”
I’ve heard other moms here with school-aged children complaining about this, but that somehow doesn’t [...]
Today at the children’s gym was the first time someone commented on Tom’s height and then wouldn’t let it go. Almost everyone feels compelled to either say “he’s tall” or “what a great smile”, for, in fact, he is tall and does have a great smile. He’s also very clever, curious, and sweet… But mostly [...]
this morning we got up and going early so that we could get to an open house at a new ‘children’s gym.’ I couldn’t tell if Tom thought it was too noisy and busy, or if I was just projecting… It really was noisy and busy. At first it seemed fun, but then the actual [...]
