Kids and Passports
Not if you stay in the United States. Most kids under 18 can travel in the United States with a parent without a passport.
Do you want one?
Probably. If you want to travel to Canada, Mexico, the Bahamas, etc., your child will need one.
Why am I posting this?
Because my daughter's passport expired in January and I have been struggling with the question. Mainly because it costs more than $100 between the application, processing and photo fees.
But two trips to Canada… Continue

Sick Kids And School
As I write this, I'm waiting for the phone call from school. Was the stomach ache real or just a plea to spend some time at home? Last time we didn't believe her, she barely made it in the door before throwing up all over the floor.
And then crying that she had made a mess.
My brother once cautioned me that kids generally can't tell the difference between hunger and upset stomachs.
So right now I'm… Continue

But it doesn't work that way.

Mail Game
She writes "letters" to us and then
"delivers" the letters as the "postal carrier."
This past week they were Valentines. But sometimes they are ways she wants to communicate when she has issues that she doesn't know how to resolve.
I've gotten letters that start with "I'm mad at you." Through the "game" we can sometimes get to the heart of the issue. I write back, using simple sentences, and ring for the postal carrier. Sometimes… Continue

Amber said… - Hey Marnie, I have a recall list on pool toys for babies, but couldn't find how to add it. so.... here's the link:
http://www.cpsc.gov/cpscpub/prerel/prhtml09/09261.html
It's a VOLUNTARY recall, which means retailers can still sell them, so please get the word out about these! I almost bought one for my little boy. (not that I would leave him alone, so I would have been able to catch him if he had fallen through, but still).
