Erin has had several extremely painful cysts and one that she had to have surgically removed, but if the pain is that mild, I don't think I'd worry about it.

I've only ever heard of it being used to treat leukemia.

It would concern me, too. I don't have experience with it, other than when Erin was a teenager. She was prescribed Ambien because she had trouble sleeping and when she took it one night, she...

My vote goes to Charlie! If Laura had been a boy, she was going to be named Charlie (not Charles) Edward because DH's family doesn't believe in nicknames, so whatever we named the child would be...

This particular kid is new to the daycare this week. Erin said they have a policy that if the biting continues, the child will be "kicked out" of the daycare, but I don't know how many times it has...

DH had it wrong. Nathan did get hit near his eye, he was BITTEN! He was bitten again today on the other side of his face near his ear. This time, the teacher said Nathan took a toy away from the...

I'm sure Erin will talk more to his teacher when she picks him up after work today.

So Nathan came home from daycare yesterday with his face all scratched up. Erin had to work late, so DH went to pick the kids up from daycare. Apparently, Nathan got into a fight with another child...

Maybe if she was older, I don't know. But for now, at least, she hasn't viewed it that way. She still loves her books. She doesn't seem to be missing her toys all that much, maybe because she can...

I had a wonderful surprise visit this morning from DS, Brooke and Kayla. They brought me flowers and a box of chocolate-covered strawberries from Godiva. These were gifts from all three of my...

I have actually been doing this, telling her "let's check with mommy."

I try very hard NOT to do that with Erin in front of the kids, but of course it's absolutely possible that I'm not always successful. Katie often does not listen to me any better than she does to...

This was my thinking as well.

No, I did not say anything in front of Katie. In fact, when Katie came to me after she had calmed down somewhat, I told her that mommy had warned her time and time...

So, Erin has a really hard time with Katie not listening and misbehaving. Erin threatened to take away all of Katie's toys and leave her with only books and puzzles. Then as Katie behaves and...

I've also heard put the diaper on backwards, but I have no experience with it, so I don't know if it really works or not.

For a younger perspective (younger than me, anyway) my daughter Laura who just got married last year says that if she has ANY kids, she only wants one. She doesn't want to have even one for a while...

I am the youngest of 5. I have one brother and three sisters. When I was a teenagers, I always said I wanted 9 kids. Life happens, though, and I had 5 extremely difficult pregnancies which...

Yeah, genetics are weird. DH has brown eyes and light brown hair. I have hazel eyes (although my sister insists they're blue) and medium brown hair. DS was born with WHITE hair that by three...

Erin was on a steroid from a very young age as a preemie with lung problems. Now, she does have some brain damage, but that is totally unrelated to the steroid -- she developed hydrocephalus as a...

LOL I actually think your twins look a lot alike, but yes, I agree that siblings don't always look alike, even twins.

Congratulations! I was #5 and born when my mom was 40!

Lots and lots of prayers for Brooke and your entire family.

Amen, sister. It's absolutely ridiculous, in my opinion. Our kids are ours anymore. They belong to the government.

You said it's the worst time of day there "it's busy, DD2 is sometimes falling apart herself, DD1 needs help with homework, dinner needs to be cooked and cleaned up, piano practice, showers, etc....

OMG Erin was like that, and I know she was at least your DD's age, if not older. I just can't remember if it was after Laura was born or if it was while I was still pregnant with Laura, but Erin was...
