My hubby and I are going to see the little boy that had his foot cut off in the hospital this weekend, my question is what kind of things do you give a child in the hospital? I know he loves certain cartoon charactors and I...

TotalEclipse I think bringing in some goodies to snack on is lovely and any hospital will allow that. Isnt that what you do when someone's in hospital? As for present, maybe something that can entertain him while he is in bed there?, games he can play in bed, books things...

whats the correct age to pierce a childs ears?

amylou8521 @amylou8521 (324) 19 Apr 07

This is a subject very close to my own heart, i would imagine i will find people either strongly agreeing or strongly disagreeing. I walked passed claires accesories today and a woman was holding a new baby in her arms, maybe 5...

TotalEclipse I agree with you and dont think it should be done until the child can make the decision themselves. We dont go out piercing childrens noses, belly buttons and so on so why ears? Dont they have a right to decide if they ever want a piercing?

TotalEclipse I have in the past used an apron several times when holding dinner parties and trying to get food ready as well as being dressed up. It protects your clothes. With most regular clothes I am not that bothered but when they are my nice things then I rather have...

Baby and Toddler nap questions

4cuteboys @4cuteboys (4099) • United States 14 Apr 07

How long do your kids nap for and how old are they? My 2 year old is starting to not want a nap, but clearly needs one because if he doesn't take it, by bedtime he is a sobbing, cranky mess! When he does nap though it's usually...

TotalEclipse My almost 3 year old still naps about 1 1/2 to 3 hrs a day. He loves his sleep and I believe good naps improve sleeping at night too. He didnt use to nap as long when he was younger, he had to learn to do so. I would still put him to bed even if he didnt go...

Do you look your age?

leanette @leanette (3002) • India 14 Apr 07

DO you look older or younger than your age? If told you look older/younger, did you feel bad or bothered? Women feel happy if they are told they look younger, I think its the opposite with men. Women, would you rather look younger...

TotalEclipse I'm often told I look younger then I am though I dont think I do and I certainly dont feel younger then I am. Guess it is just down to people's opinions in ways. I dont think looking younger is that much of an issue but there is a certain age where it can be...

TotalEclipse The saddest moment in my life is when I lost my baby girl after 22 weeks of pregnancy. She was perfect in every way, just born too soon and didnt have a chance to survive. Its almost 5 years ago but I still miss her every day.

TotalEclipse If he doesnt want to pay for the first 10 what makes you think he will pay after 50 or 100? To be honest it sounds like a bit of a scam to me.

TotalEclipse I do shopping once a week and stack veg in my fridge, it works out cheaper as I would buy more if going shopping more often would mean I would buy more. Its easier to keep to a budget if only doing the shopping once a week as then I will just have to manage...

TotalEclipse I think she should be reported and pay back every bit of the formula she has sold on. Programs like that are done to help people that need the formula and its not for personal gain.
