other toddlers, apparently, I hope it hasn't become a habit.
I bet he's lost weight. I hope he has been taking his anti-

I am a single father. My seven week old son is extrememly fussy and
very gassy. He eats Good Start DHA & ARA soy based formula. He eats
every 3-4 hours about 6 ounces at a time. HE has no concept of night

However, she refuses to poop, or even sit on the potty.  (She will ask

I have moved from Arizona to Minnesota to be a part-time dad...instead
of a 5 times a year dad. Here is the situation in a nutshell:
Child support was set up in Arizona before she moved...the numbers are
based on me seeing my children 5 times a year for a total of 25 days a

Yes, it's that time again when there is no news but the election and
