We bathe our DS in an infaltable tub that we put inside the tub.
I think he's old enough for the regular tub, but once I start to wash
him with soap, the tub gets slippery and he slides all over.
Should I get some kind of non-slip bath mat?

to him whenever. He likes opening books and turning the pages. He
seems to enjoy opening and closing and turning pages more than opening
and looking at pictures.

When my oldest was about 3, I had his carseat in the front passenger
side of my van for a few days.  My husband was away, and he liked it
up front.  My van was older and didn't have an airbag.  I met a friend

So DW was upstairs yesterday morning getting ready for work, I'm
getting his meals ready for daycare, DS is crawling around the tile

Next to our little island on the floor is a box of cupcake bakeware.

Your economic stimulus payment WILL be intercepted for back child support!
Thank GOD the Federal  Government can do what the deadbeats refuse to do.

effective cloth diapers would be.

Once, when my oldest was about 2, we were at a family cottage with a

dinner around 6:30 (time we get home from work, pick him up, and get
