I know my boys are only 4 years old, but does dyslexia display itself as early
as this?  I'm sure it's just a matter if their age, but I would like to know
what to be aware of.  What are the signs and at what age is it detectable.  Is
there anything you can do to diminish it or ...

Hello fellow parents,
One of my twin boys, Aleem, has been having an ear ache for the past two
days and today I took him to see our GP who diagnosed it as wax build-up
related pain. Although I regularly clean his ears with a bit of olive oil

I was taking the "morning" shift with the kids today (schools were
closed because of weather, so my dw and I had to split the work
schedule). So I was at the table, playing a game with my 6 yo boy, and
the girls (9 yo) were playing in the living room. I heard one of them

It's now been nearly 4 months since my babies arrived.  To me it is utterly
amazing how quickly time flies.  I have had requests to have my DH update
our website to include pictures of our new babies.  So far, we haven't found
the time to do so (surprise, surprise).  So, we had a ...

I was wondering if anyone experienced returning morning sickness in
the third trimester? I am currently 25 4/7 days pg wth b/g twins. I

I mainly lurk here but I find myself in need of advice.  My girls just
turned a year old and sleeping had been going more or less OK until
recently. They were 6 week premature and had very bad reflux, Sonia
worse than Kirsten. As a consequence they slept in either car seats,

Ashlyn and Allyson have been invited by a little girl in their preschool class
to her birthday party next Saturday.  (BTW, I was impressed-- we got two
invitations in the mail-- one addressed to each girl.  Bonus points for that
mom!!)  I know from previous discussions to get two ...

With all the new faces posters here, I thought it might be time to reintroduce
myself.  
My husband (Juan30) and I (Kimberly25) have three girls, Alexis Iliana 4, Emma
Elidia 14 mth and Aislyn Gabriela 14mth. (zygosity unsure).  I have been

How old were your triplets when you started taking care of them yourself
(without any outside help)?

Okay, I need some advice. Our first slumber party is coming up and I have no
idea what time to start or end it! It will be on Valentines day. Since there
is two girls, I think I've decided on 8 kids total (including them). Is this
too many? I have found tons of games and ideas via ...

I'm new to the newsgroup, as my wife and I just had a set of twins on
Dec 22nd, both girls, Aimee Nicole (6 lb, 11 oz), and Kylie Melissa (6
lb 15 oz). We also have a 3 year old son, Colton Joseph (he was born 9
lb 13 oz)

Hello everyone. Tara and I (Craig) are having twin girls in the beginning of
march. We are in the process of looking at cribs, basinets etc. I have read
some articles recently that suggest that twins are happier and healthier if
they sleep together. Can any of you share your ...

Well, I thought the time had come to potty-train Katerina.  She was
showing signs of readiness and understanding.  We went and purchased
pull-ups (for the first day or two) and also 9 pairs of underwear (and
also the same for Joshua).  I was thinking that Joshua wouldn't be ready ...
