My DS didn't sleep through the night once until he was 18 months. He is 2.5 and I'm up at least once a night with him. A friend told me that any full night sleep a parent gets before age 7 is a gift. I believe it.

Casio has a small digital camer that can take 30 pictures in 30 seconds on continuous shooting mode. It is great for capturing a fast moving kid. I just delete the pictures I don't want.

I had my DS in there when he was 5 mos. old and he cried the entire time. I don't think the caregiver he had was very nuturing. Neither the directors nor the teachers seemed to have any idea how to help the situation. I ended up taking him out of daycare after 4 months.

My 6 month DS started daycare at the end of August. It is a federal daycare--the infant room has six infants and two teachers (a good ratio). The room has toys, is nicely decorated and they do activities with the children, albeit not too much as infants have a short attention span. The care providers in the infant room are not as bubbly or friendly as I would like, but they aren't mean...more just quite or introverted. I try and limit DS's time in daycare by having him go 4 days a week for six-hours a day. In addition, I sometimes visit him during lunch.

Here is the problem--everytime I pick him up the caregivers tell me that he has cried most of the day. They said he will play without crying only if they are on the floor with him and or when they hold him. (DS is already crawling, sitting up by himself and standing.) I've asked the caregivers for their suggestions, but they haven't given me any clear answer just "all kids are different." I'm concerned that DS isn't adjusting to daycare and that this isn't the right child care setting for him. I need advice on what I can do to help him adjust to daycare, or is his crying a sign I need to find a different child care situation (which we all know if not easy!).

I've been getting my hair cut by Andre since 1992. The customer service and the hair cut has always been great.

I really feel for you. My sister was pregnant when my father was dying of cancer. She had her baby and my father passed away eight days later. Basically, this is a really hard situation with no right or wrong answers--just a lot of mixed emotions. Your baby will have part of your father in him/her, which should bring comfort to the rest of the family. My sister asked my Dad to make a video to show her child when he got older and now it is a video that the other 11 grandchildren who didn't know my dad can benefit from it as well.
