Baby Room Big designer Robe Hanger, where to place it in room.? Maybe I can describe the four walls in the room. The reason I am asking this question is that the beams are hard to find to hang stuff and most often, we end up making unpatchable holes in the walls so I just want to drill one hole! The room is rectangular shape. The west and east walls are shorter. The window is on te west wall. The closet is on the east wall. (Near the north wall corner. The north and south wall are longer. The door opens at the southeast corner, on the south wall. Along the north wall is the baby's bed, right in the center and the chest for toys just before the closet that is on the wall beside it. Across from it is his dresser (and the door). Should I put the hanger for the robe between the bed and the closet on the same wall as the bed, actually between the toy chest and the closet (don't forget the closet is on the wall beside it, east, while the bed is on the north side which is where i think the hanger piece should go. Any other ideas? Remember that when he gets bigger I will put a twin bed in there, same design. Thanks.

Help I am having issues with my baby? My 12.5 month old son always used to sleep throughout the night in his own room. Last night, he screamed like he was dying out of the blue at 3:30 in the morning. I brought him into bed with me and it took him about 15 minutes to get some sleep because he kept looking at the ceiling like he was scared of something. The night before, the toys went off in his room. These toys were in his toy chest and he was in his crib sleeping, then all of a sudden his toys started playing at 3 in the morning. His room is always the coldest too. Our bedroom is around 75-77 degrees farenheit at night and his room is 69-71 degrees. Last night his room was 71 degrees and my husband went in there and closed his vent all the way and turned off the ceiling fan. After that, my baby's room got colder. His room went down to 69 degrees. He is also acting strange. He is very afraid of the dark and goes into the corner of the room for no reason. We have never taught him to do this or gave him any reason to be scared of the dark. Last night I heard footsteps above our apartment, but the problem is we are on the top floor, so there is no one above us. Please I need some answers as I am worried about my little one.
sml bedroom, baby on the way... tips on storage? READ!? My room is TEENY TINY. I live with my parents until my husband can fix up a house and make it 'baby proofed' but this will take him a while due to medical reasons.. ANYWAY. My room has a bed, a night stand, and a dresser. all the room is TAKEN. my closet? has a tv in it. since I cannot find it anywhere else. I am deciding between a baby dresser to put in my closet (i dont have many clothes but i don't have anywhere to put his... and i already have the dresser...) OR i can put a toy chest (that i had as a child - my mother sponge painted it CUTE) to put in my closet and maybe you know put clothes and it looks like a bench! long but short so it won't take up very much room in my long but not so wide closet... and i can change his diaper ontop of it rather than the floor and my bed (boy - his pee for sure will be flying for the first while.. hahah) what are some good things to do with his stuff? all playpens, and travel items are folded UNDER my bed... diapers and boxes of his stuff is on the top shelf... out of the way... otherwise, the room is spotless and baby proofed.
What should I call my new baby kitten? She has black fur a big white chest and socks. She also likes playing with a toy mouse I bought her... Any suggestions?
Good gift for 1 year old baby girl? I'd like to buy a gift for a relative's baby girl who's turning 1 soon. They're wealthy, so they have mostly everything, which is why it's hard to shop for them. But anywho, something more then $100 but less than $200. I've thought of jewelry, but we bought her bangles already so.. Also thought of a very pretty musical waterglobe, but kinda not so appropriate for her age.. an adorable toy chest, but kinda don't want to buy her something that will be difficult to return (plus, I dont know her room decor, except that it's white). I don't really want to buy her clothes because we always do anyway, and we just recently bought her a rocking horse. Any ideas?
how can i stop our dog from eating baby's toys? We are expecting a baby in a couple of months. Yesterday our dog, Nikki, starting tearing apart the collection of stuffed animals that grandma has started for the baby. I'm so disappointed. We disciplined her yesterday and then I woke up this morning and found another poor little tiger torn to shreds in my living room. We keep the toys up at chest level on a shelve, and she still manages to get them. I'm scared that she of how she's going to act towards the baby. Any suggestions on how to make Nikki understand these toys are not hers and on how to prepare her for arrival of baby?

Would this be okay to do for my 2 yr old for Christmas? He loves Sesame Street (elmo mainly) and we're expecting another baby in the spring so we wanted to redo his baby room into a big boy room..we found an Elmo bed, desk, and toy chest plus wall decorations for pretty reasonable...but would that be fun for him to get at Christmas? Maybe we could throw some toys in with it, but the bedroom is already around $100.
Back and Chest Hurts? So a few days ago, I was doing some baby sitting and I had to clean up after my cousin's mess. I tripped on one of his toys and I fell with my chest against the toy. I got back up in serious pain. I was slouching a lot. Has anybody ever done something stupid like this before?
Can anyone help me find a Gigo baby doll? My daughter lost a Gigo baby doll that had a button in the chest that when pressed says "mama" and laughed. This was her favorite and she is destroyed. If anyone knows the doll I am describing and has ideas on how and where I can find a replacement, please let me know. I have check the obvious, ebay, amazon, toys r'us. etc.
Is it too weird to buy things for a baby that your not even pregnant with? Like for your hope chest? It's just very rare for me to find toys that I LOVE and I spotted this http://www.sourceperrier.com/cgi-bin/frontrunner.cgi?ri=100&rc=SPER&rs=T&ro=T&cld=GIFTS&in=P65000&whs=&clr=&mat=&bu=0&ki=&ctc=30&pgno=99&pri=137 So it's not something that would be easily found again. I guess I worry I'll jink myself since one of my girlfriends found out that she is infertile recently.

My 2 month son has chest congestion. I have seen a doctor 2 times and he keeps telling me that's normal..is it? My son has trouble even taking his bottle due to the fact his breathing is so bothered by his congestion. It sounds like a wheezing noise and he even sounds like a squeak toy when he is sleeping.

What are essential/best baby items to have as a new parent? What's junk? What's invaluable? Hints? Tips? (Sorry this is so long! Many thanks in advance to those who reply!) We are at week 34 awaiting the arrival of our Babygirl. Gifts and hand-me-downs are starting to come in that we're marking off the "need to get" list (per Babies R Us). We still have lots we need to get, so I wanted to ask for your opinions. For all those moms and dads out there, I have attached, below, the Babies R Us "Parents Checklist." What is necessary? What is not? What is invaluable? What did you get on a whim and are eternally grateful for having? What turned out to be nothing but junk? What brands are the best (i.e., I hear that Boudreaux's "Butt Paste" is the best there is)? I'm starting to scout out Craigslist and eBay for deals (who the heck knew breast pumps were unbelievably expensive??? At least I can get new, in box items from eBay and save a few if I watch like a hawk!). If any of you have insights that you would share, we would be very grateful. Thanks!

baby with broken femur? My 3wk old baby was brought to the doctor because she was very cranky. He checked her out and sent for x-rays. He said that she had a broken femur, a fractured rib and arm. The only explanation was that I swaddled her very tightly with her arms crossed over her chest and her legs crossed. Are there any pressure points on the babies bones and could the swadling have caused such harm? Also I explained that I tripped over a toy and fell with her in my arms. Could that have caused injury? This happend a year ago and investigations were done and resolved and I was never arrested but I never got any real answers also some are saying I brought her to the doctor only because she was cranky. Yes she was and I was concerned she was ill not because she was getting on my nerves and I have a 5 and 2year old and they have been fine all this time so it has nothing to do with anger or making excuses to cover up abuse. That is not the case
Is my baby's crawling development okay? My son is 6 months old today. He cannot 'crawl' yet, in the traditional sense, like up on his hands and knees rolling around. He rolls from his back to his stomach, lifts his bum and pushes forward with his legs, but then he puts his head down, and kinda worms his torso forward. My partner and I have tried lifting his stomach and chest, and putting his hands and legs in crawling position to see if he will stay up and balance, but it doesn't seem like his legs and arms are strong enough yet to hold his weight (he's a big boy, 8.6kg, or 18.96 pound). He started to work out this unique way of getting around at about 4 and a half months, but rather then move on to his hands and knees, hes just worked on improving the method he's already got. Now he can slither around the room, going from toy to toy and moving them around, and loves to be mobile every chance he can get. Basically I am just wondering if it sounds like he's developing okay in terms of crawling. baby info sites say they mostly sit first and then lunge forward onto their hands and knees, but he doesn't sit alone yet, he can for a bit but he tips over eventually, although he's less wobbly each day :) anything other mums can give me would be great, has anyone else's baby crawled like this, and do you think he will be on his hands and knees soon? thanks :)
Is it wrong for a unmarried grieving father of a stillborn ask for most of the baby stuff back that he bought ? They are no longer together. He did stay by her side through out the pregnancy and three months after the death. He has nothing of the baby's that he bought which was a substantial amount of stuff. Her family is holding on to the stuff (there are other expecting girls in the family) Girlfriend hoping for another baby however boyfriend says no. Could it be possible that getting the stuff back his way of grieving? He wants to donate the diapers to charity. He wants to save some of the toy items that were special to him to keep in a chest. Thanks for all of the responses. Her family packed all of the stuff up in the baby's room before the baby was even delivered. Father and his family had no say in the matter and they probably wouldn't listen anyways. She wants to have another baby. NO he doesn't want to sell it on Ebay, nor does he have other family members that could use it. His family doesn't even have anything that they bought that they could keep for memory.

Do you think a hope chest is old fashioned? and if given the chance would/did you keep one? I suppose I'm a little old fashioned, it might have something to do with how I was raised, but I have a toy box that my dad built me when I was little, but has since turned into a hope chest. I keep a quilt my grandma hand sewed as a girl, a quilt my great grandma made, a set of dishes that were found in my grandma's attic as well as my baby album and my American girl doll that I would like to pass on one day. I guess I'm asking if you think I might be a little old fashioned for treasuring every item I place in it in hopes of using it for the future. My mom never had one but says she has one through me.
Am I missing anything from my baby's nursery? Cot - but she won't be using it for a while as I have a moses basket for now. Moses basket - so she can sleep with me for the first few weeks in my room. Bedding Rocking chair- It used to belong to my great grandmother and has been past down. Chest of drawers - full of clothes, obviously Changing table. My great grandfather's trunk - Being used as a toy box as we already have a mountain of things for her. Mum found my old train set from when I was a baby and that is in there plus other things Storage baskets - belong on top of the chest of drawers and hold things like cloth diapers, flannels, etc I feel like something is missing. My mum thinks I have gotten everything I need but I can't help but think something is missing. It's wasn't a mistake. I don't have a husband. I'm not married. I still live at home because I'm 16.
Help with litter training a 4 week old baby rabbit!? I recently bought a mini lop rabbit from Russel's (like a feed store), he/she has been home for now 4 days.(It is a girl for the time being, named Abby) The first day (she/he got home at around 6 and wasnt able to get in the cage until about 9) the second, he/she mostly stayed in the cage, last night (the third night) he/she started coming out little by little but went back in as soon as something moved or the tv sounded. Well today, he/she is running in and out of her cage hopping everywhere. She started to lick my nose, (I was laying in the floor with her) my hand, and started chewing on the carpet. Now she won't stop. And I need help with litter training her, I went to PetSmart and payed $9.99 for a plastic medium sized litter box that has a grate above the litter so the bunny won't touch the litter. Well I tried putting the droppings in there because I read somewhere they associate the smell with the toilet. Also I have tried placing Timothy Hay in the box, but she just eats it then hops down and does her business. Well, it doesn't work. I'm not home enough to watch her every minute. I have school (8-4) and now that its summer i'm working 8-5/6. Her cage is a guinea pig sized cage, so it's not that big. But she doesn't just go in one area, she goes all over. I'm not sure what to do, she is currently sitting in her litter box staring at me because I sternly said no and placed her in her cage when I caught her chewing the carpet and my laptop wire as well as my great grandmother's wooden chest. I don't know what to do, it's like she refuses to litter train. I don't know if its just because shes a baby or what. But in her cage I have the litter box, a hanging water bottle, food bowl, 1 chew toy that hangs from the side, a honey treat that hangs, a corn hanging treat, a salt lick, a place for Timothy Hay and a chew kabob that is hanging in the middle of the cage with wood chew toys and her mineral lick, as well as a Puma stone for her teeth that she chews on. This is kind of emberassing, but I don't know when she is going to leave droppings. I mean, she's very fuzzy and she acts like she's going to squat but doesnt do anything, just plays. Please help with step by step instructions and maybe tell me how to tell.... Thanks! P.S. I want my rabbit to have the run of the house but for right now only the computer room (her cage is in here) is open for her to explore. Thanks so much!! ~*~Hay Bay~*~ Okay, well I called the place that I bought her from, Russell's Feed and Supply store, they said that they are not told what age they are. The breeder's basically say here are some rabbits and they buy them and sell them from there. Even though the woman that was helping us the day we bought Abby told us that she was only 3 weeks old brought in on Sunday, 5/29 and we bought her on 6/2 making her about a month old. Here are a few of pictures of her so you might be able to tell about how old she is: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=232715460076152&set=a.232715420076156.77492.100000130997233&type=1&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=232715510076147&set=a.232715420076156.77492.100000130997233&type=1&theater http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=232715490076149&set=a.232715420076156.77492.100000130997233&type=1&theater

Regarding a litter box in a babies room, am I wrong? My friend just had a new baby and I went over to her house for a welcoming party. My friends sister took me down the hall to see the nursery. As soon as I stepped foot into the room I was shocked to see an open litter box next to a toy chest. To make matters worse, it was incredibly dirty and the smell was awful! Her sister went on showing me the cute stuffed animals but I couldn't pay attention, the fumes were so bad. I hurried her out of the room and simply said; "I don't mean to be rude, but it's not a good idea to have a litter box in the babies room." Her sister agreed with me. After the other guests left and it was just down to my friend, her mother, sister and the new baby I pulled my friend to the side and told her what I told her sister. I was stunned to hear her excuse "well, I don't want it in my room and the bathroom is to small, besides it's not dangerous, I looked it up online." Am I wrong? Is it safe to have a litter box in a bedroom? A new born's bed room? I had a hard time looking it up online myself, came up with nothing. I just personally feel it's disgusting, especially because my friend has been neglecting to clean it. Should I have kept my personal feeling about it to myself?
I regret having my baby? Please someone help me I really don't think I can stand this much more. My son is 8 months old. I am 21 and a single mother to him and every single day I am in tears because i just can't cope with him. It's not that I am some sort of benefits getting council house chav, I work. If h were well behaved it would be different but he acts like a selfish spoilt little brat. He screeches night and day and demands constant attention. it's not enough that I am holding him but I have to be throwing him up and down and making noises for hours on end, literally or he will just sit there howling. I have tried playing with him, buying him loads of different toys, buying him educational "baby signing" dvds to occupy him while I do other things thta NEED doing for example cleaning, washing, cooking but nothing works. He won't sleep, he wakes up at like 11.30 at night and cries and screams until I have no choice but to hold him. My life has changed for the worse I am trapped, I'm scared to go out in case he has one of his tantrums. It's getting to the point that when he screams I just put him in his cot and close the door for fear that I will end up hurting up. i don't see a crying baby with feelings, I just see a giant mouth screaming and I can;t bear it! I feel a knot in my chest and I feel short of breath when I think about him and I'm sick of discussing "does he sleep well" with random strangers who are so bloody nosy. Why do they CARE? I want to give him up for adoption, or to my parents or something, anything just to get him away from me I don;t love him and I don't want him. No I'm not a "troll" and I was on the pill IT DIDNT WORK. Reading your answers makes me feel guilty but I'm not being like this deliberately, I have tried so hard to bond with him but it just hasn't happened. I wish I could feel happy around him like a "normal parent" but I don't know how! As I said I don;t think anyone would enjoy parenting a child who screams for 5-6 hours a day
How do I know when it's time to put my dog to sleep? I hate even asking this. I have a 12-yr old Brittany that I love so much. In the past year or so she has completely lost her eyesight, I can feel small tumors or growths on her leg and chest, and she is constantly thirsty (meaning she is constantly needing to go to the bathroom). She has no energy or happiness anymore, mostly just lying in her bed all day except to eat or to go to the bathroom outside. We try to keep things constant since she's blind and only knows her way around by memory, but with a 1-yr old baby in the house, she's constantly tripping on toys and such. She just doesn't seem happy at all anymore, and with her health in decline, I don't know if it would be better to let her go, or let her live on unhappy and just spending all day lying in her bed. I want to know I'm doing it in HER best interests and not just for my own convenience. How do I know when it's time?!?
What types of things are you registered for?!? Hello!! First time mom to be here, and I just need some help on registering for important items. I'm going to register at Target and Babies R US, and I am comparing prices on EVERYTHING, if Target carries it, they seem to be cheaper on 90% of it. Anyways, I was just wondering what types of things are you going to register or did register for?? Did you register for any clothes or toys? I registered for a few, newborn age appropriate up to a year old toys and clothes, like no more than maybe 3-5 cute outfits at each place, and no more than 5-10 toys, at each place. I was wondering if people think adding clothes and toys are rude, since most people like to just pick stuff out instead of being told what to buy? I only registered for a few of my favorite ones and have no problem taking them off and buying them myself if it would offend people. Also, I use mainly organic foods and products in my day to day life. I have also registered for a few organic towels, shampoo, blankets, ect. Will people find this annoying since they are pricey? Again, I have no issue with removing them and using what people buy me and then buying the ones I prefer once I need more. I already have a crib and dresser and am borrowing a bassinet. I will be ordering my own baby bedding and accessories from somewhere I'm not registered at. Some of my items on my lists include: Medela Breast Pump Boppy and Organic Cover Puj Baby Tub Thermometers, Alarm/Timers Portable Swing Bumper Jumper Head Support for car seat Head Support for crib Dressing Table Toy Chest Bicycle Trailer Jogging Stroller & compatible infant Car Seat Nasal Aspirator Twist and Fold Activity Gym Plug Covers Nuks Grooming Kit Baby q-tips Belly Bandit (for me) What else do I need or what all did you register for?? Thank you so much for your time and help!!!!! β₯

How to deal with friends "mean" daughter.? She just turned 1 and ever since then she has become a little terror! My son is 9 months and she will push him down, yank toys away from him, take his drink, take his pacifiers, and today she smashed his finger on her toy chest and cut both sides of his finger. I know that she is a toddler now and I'm sure ever baby goes through this phase but I was wondering how I should deal with this. My friend does get on to her daughter but, I don't know if I should move my son from the situation just so she won't get in trouble. For example, my son was trying to get into one of those red and yellow cars they have for kids and my friends daughter was trying to close the door on him. He doesn't know how to climb into it yet so it obviously wouldn't close and her mom was yelling at her telling her no and all that.. but what I'm wondering is should I have moved my son so that she didn't have to get on to her? Or should I have left him there so that she will learn that she can't do that. It wasn't hurting him, so I didn't move him. If it's something that is hurting him I DO move him. Things like this happen all the time. Thanks for the help.

3 year old stealing money... how should i punish him? Just at first I was cleaning my baby brother's room. He is only 3 years old and while i was putting away his toys, i lifted up his toy chest and found $137 in there. I questioned him how he got those money and he said he stole it but wouldnt tell me from who. I was going to tell my mom but he begged me not to. I felt bad for hi because he made hat little puppy face and those face get to me with little kids so i told him to go to his room for a while until i think about it. I'm 17 and i don't know if i'm old enough to handle this situation with him stealing; he's only 3, what if he does it again and he's really young right now, if he gets older... what will happen? Should i tell my mom or punish him myself?
My baby falls asleep by himself, no fussing, at night. Naps are another story altogether. Advice? Since birth, my son has been a good night sleeper, but a completely horrid napper. He goes to sleep with out a single sound at night, and has only wakes up to eat (most of the time-he rarely fusses at bed time, and very rarely wakes up at night for some random reason. But napping during the day is a fight. I have to rock him the whole time, or hold him laying on my chest. He will nap in a stroller, carseat or baby sling sometimes. I try to lay him down after being awake for about two hours, but all he does is cry until I pick him up and rock him. Please don't suggest cry it out, I have a heart and I can't stand hearing him cry. He doesn't even like falling asleep in his baby swing, occasionally he does, but most of the time I need to be holding him. He wakes up if I even think about putting him down in his crib. He will be 6 months old next week. I think part of my struggle is that he's such a wonderful night sleeper and a horrid day sleeper. I would like to not have to be holding and rocking my baby for him to nap just to be able to get more housework done. He's beginning to scoot and move around and I have baby proofing and reorganizing to do. He gets bored easily by his toys and craves almost constant interaction and he can be exhausting at times, but I love him very much and want the best for him.
My Female Parakeet's chest is bulged out and I am worried, please help!? She is a mother of 2 baby male parakeets who are now grown up birds and she has a new baby birdy recently hatched from a new batch of eggs. I am attaching another bird cage onto their already two story cage just for more toys and room to fly so I am planning to take the nest out after she decides what eggs she wants and doesn't want. (It's not my place to be messing with her family so I let her do her own thing and I provide the veges fruits and seeds and water and toys and baths etc. She only lets the dad bird in the nest. But all of my birds are strong and loud and perky and singing all the time. Her actions haven't changed at all. The only thing that has changed is that her chest looks imflamed, or swollen, or bulgey. its not her gut at all itis her Chest so it can't be an egg. I am scared and I want to know if theres something i can feed her or do to make her back to normal. Please let me know everything you know about situations like this. My birds bring a smile to my day they arein my bedroom with me so im used to hearing them climbing on the cage and makign that content sounds at nightime. I don't want to loose my only female bird, her children need her :'( Her name is Cuba, the dad bird is Mexico, the older son is Peru, the middle son (so far) is Panama, and the baby is Texas. heh :)
How should I talk to my roommates about wanting to get out of the lease? I've been having major problems with my roommates, some of which I have asked about here. I live with a family, a 48 year old and her two daughters, ages 19 and 22, and a 2 year old baby. The 22 year old recently deployed, so the woman's other daughter, a 25 year old with a 2 year old of her own, moved in to help with the deployed daughter's baby. The house is a mess...they have been slobs from day 1, but the addition of the extra child, and the laziness of this person, has made the living situation unbearable. I can't even cook, because I have to dig through piles of dirty dishes to find the counter. I've tried mentioning things to the roommates before, and we even got in trouble by our landlord for the messiness of the house. They don't do any gardening, I have to do it all. I can't do laundry because they leave their clothes in the machines for days. They leave trash with dirty diapers for days, so the whole house reeks. When the trash man comes, they leave the empty trash can out there all day, even though they are home. As an example of how crowded it is, someone uses the hall closet by the door as an extension of her clothes closet. Baby toys are everywhere; they won't buy a chest for them. They allow the babies to play with outdoor toys inside, on the $10,000 hardwood floor, which has produced scratches (which we got in a lot of trouble for.) I try talking to them about how we need to take better care of the house, they roll their eyes. It's at the point where it's not worth it anymore. It's a crowded townhome; I have the master bedroom. If I left they would have more space. I'm on the lease, as are the 48 and 22 year old. (The 19 year old is listed as a resident; not a lessee though.) How should I ask my roommates if they would be ok with it if I moved out? And assuming they would be ok, how would I go about asking the landlord if I could get out of the lease? I don't want to let anyone down, or sell anyone out, I just can't live in a place like that anymore. I have tried to come up with suggestions, including laundry days and alternating the gardening duties. Nothing has worked. Unfortunately our lease is a 2 year lease; we still have a good 16 months to go. I was thinking about suggesting to my roommates that the 19 year old could take my place on it. I paid the security deposit on my own; at this point, I am not even going to fight for any of it bad, I just want out.
I miss when I was young? I get so sad when I think about all the good memories from when I was little. I wish I could go back to that time and stay there, 4 years old. I am 14. In my room I have a big blue chest that my dad made me when I was little. Inside it keep all my sentimental stuff - baby toys, special things my parents got for me, baby pictures, old stuffed animals, and lots of other things that mean so much to me. Is this normal for me to feel this way? Or do I need more help, like a theripist? I don't know what I would do if my mom or dad died. I wouldn't be able to go on. When I think about all the old things I used to do, the friends I've had, the things I liked; it makes me so sad to think that all of that is gone now. Does anyone else feel this way? Is it normal? Will I grow out of it? Do I need help?
has anyone ever seen this stuffed toy? My lil stuffed toy from when i was a baby it is a brown beaver sitting up his tail is round not flat and his tag is unreadable, he has long puffy fur on his chest,and cloth teeth please give me some answers . i was just wandering how much he might be worth.
Baby falls & bumps head on floor? Ok, I know that baby's fall every day and they bump their heads on the floor, a coffe table, a toy, etc... I'm just wondering how hard of a fall is too hard. Last night my 7.5 month baby was standing at the coffe table. I had my hand out to help her balance, but I moved my hand momentarily (without thinking) and she twirled around and fell backwards hitting her head on the floor. There was a loud thump and she started to cry. I picked her up to comfort her & checked the back of her head, but saw no noticeable bump, redness or injury. She stopped crying for a moment and it was almost as if her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she seemed lethargic for about 10 seconds. This scared the crap out of me because I understand that a baby's brain is as fragile as an egg yolk. This is the second time she has fallen & bumped her head and had this reaction. She began to cry again and I rubbed the back of her head & her tummy and held her in my arms to comfort her. About 20 minutes later she fell asleep and I held my hand on her chest to feel the rise & fall of her breathing & feel her heart beating. I checked her pupils prior to her falling asleep & they were equal & reactive. When she awoke about an hour later, she was fine. I love my baby so much & I would be devastated if something happened to her. I take really good care of her and I know I can not prevent every fall & bump, but I am having a really hard time forgiving myself and my Hubby doesn't make me feel any better and makes me feel as though he doesn't think I take good enough care of her. :-( I need some encouraging & helpful words of advice. Thank you! Mother of 4 beautiful children with Twins due in Sept. Let me clear up a couple of misconceptions: 1) I did not "drop" my baby and 2) She had pulled herself up and was holding ON TO the coffee table.... she was not on the coffee table. Thanks to all of you who gave encouraging & comforting words. I have called & notified her Dr.
My baby girls first 6 months- Questions?: Looking for answers, advice, anything really.? Sorry, Its long... Well to start off I am a young mother, I'm 18. My daughter is now 6 months and i love her more than anything. Since the day she was born she has been very needy, I'm sure she is high need, She ALWAYS wants to be held, and given attention. She has been with me 24/7, literally. For the first 3 months she was colic and would cry for 8 hours straight every night, although I was very lucky, at 10pm when she would stop crying she would sleep for 10-12 hours straight, that started when she was 5 days old. So everyday I would carry her, while I did things around the house, ate, showered, she slept with me. I never put her down, When I tried she screamed this terrible high pitch scream, Of course I did not mind holding her all of the time, I think it was Great bonding experience. I believe you can not spoil a baby under 1 year old, and I do not like the cry it out method. As she got a bit older, about 2-3 months it got easier we were able to play and she would actually enjoy it, and she started to go in her swing for 5 minutes at a time. At 3 months she stopped sleeping through the night and started waking up every hour. She was still colic even though the doctors said colic doesn't last past 3 months. she was using her hands a lot and like to play with things but only if I was right there playing with her. She also would not for the life of her let any one else hold her, and She got a cold and that made her 10x crankier. When she was 4 months the colic stopped, but she still had a cold so she was fussy all day and waking up every 45 minutes at night, the doctor gave her an Inhaler that I gave to her twice a day, After I gave it to her she would cry for at least an hour. She liked her exersaucer at this age but only if i was sitting right there playing with her. At 5 months she still had a cold, I took her for a chest X-ray to find out she had pneumonia, Shortly after she got ear infection in both ears, then after that was cured she got it again in both ears. At this age she was a little more independent, but I still held her 75% of the day and she was with me 100% of it, and she still didn't want anyone else holding her. But at 5 months she was sitting up so she like to play on the floor a lot, if I was right there, I soon as I left the room she screamed. And every time I wasn't playing with her, talking to her, doing stuff with her only and giving her my full attention, she would whine and fuss until I did. At 6 months She wasn't sick anymore and I could see a change in her, she was happier and full of energy, but She still fussed when I dint give her my full attention and didn't like to be left alone. She is very very smart, at 3 months I started writing words on a dry erase board, like clap, nose, food, etc. and then I would show her what it meant and she now knows what each word is, when I write clap she claps, etc. So she gets bored VERY fast and easy. And Im young, not working so I can be with her and breastfeed her for a year, So i don't have a lot of money to buy her tons of toys, We are very creative. and I try to do lots with her. In a day we will, read, sing songs, play on the floor, tummytime, exersaucer, dance around the kitchen, play with the dishes, play peekaboo. I used to walk with her but now its too cold. And i am going to get a membership at the YMCA so I can take her swimming and they have a program called child minding, it is a daycare program that you take your children to while you swim or exercise, So im going to do that so I can have 30min to myself 3 times a week, Do you think its bad that im sending her to that? What are some other things that i could do with her? I have alot of questions so bare with me lol, =) Is there any toys that you would suggest, that would make her bored so fast? she is now 6 months and still sleeping with me at night and when she naps its on me, im really trying to change that, Any tips on transferring her to her crib? She used to sleep So good at night, now she doesn't, Why is that? and can I change it so she does? I would also like her to get interaction with other babies, where do I go to do that, I'm new to my city and don't know anyone. Lately I have been feeling really impatient with her, like when she doesn't sleep, cries all the time for no reason, or doesn't let me have 5 minutes to my self, I don't mean to get angry, I don't hurt her or anything, I just get frustrated and ignore her, raise my voice a bit or say things i don't mean, I feel really bad afterwords and regret it big time, im just going a bit crazy, lol. I don't know what to do, how do i get more patience with her and learn to be more calm? Anybody else who has gone through a similar situation please let me know how you dealt with any of these problems, it would mean alot. I am looking for any answers or advice. Thank You. Sorry it was so long, I just needed to write it. lol Wow, Thanks 'Blunt' you were really helpful, thats exactly what I needed to hear, you really know how to put someone down. No I dont have family, everyone passed away, its just me, im a single mom, I dont have money to hire a babysitter. I have has 7 nurses come to my home and leave cause they cant handle the things I deal with everyday, So no this isnt your typical parenting situation. I deal with WAY more than the average parent. I had 4 younger brothers I have been taking care of them since they were babies when I was 8 and that was easy, Im 18 and now struggling. And clearly you did Not read the beginning where is says I love my daughter more than anything else in this world, of course im not giving her up for adoption, Next time you run into a question like this, Dont answer it isnt helpful anyways your wasting your time. And Jackles, I do have a routine that we do excatly everyday it doesnt make a difference. Thanks anyways though =)
Baby Hates ' Tummy Time'? My 2.5 month old son hates tummy time.I see all these books saying he should be able to push his chest up with his arms, and another he can keep his head lifted, he does not even try to use his arms. He is a strong baby, he can keep his head straight when sitting. He loves to " stand" and push up on his legs. He has not started reaching for objects or anything, but he loves mobiles and lights and peoples faces. When on his tummy he screams like someone is hurting him, he has even flipped him self back to his side a few times. What should I do? Is tummy time very important? I don't want him to skip the crawling stage! help!Oh- and I've tried putting toys in front of him, laying on my belly and looking ta him, singing, dancing, clapping, i've tried * everything*. Thanks for the input! I guess I'll try letting him cry a little. It's just so hard to see him that upset! And I'll talk to his doctor at our next visit.

My baby hates tummy time, what should I do? My baby girl is 9 weeks old & she hates tummy time. She screams from the second I put her down until about 5 minutes after I pick her back up. She doesn't even try to lift herself up with her arms or raise her head. She just lays there with her head to the side & screams the entire time. I've tried playing music for her, rattling toys in front of her, putting my face next to hers. Nothing makes her happy. What should I do? She has very strong arm & neck muscles. When holding her she keeps her head up the whole time unless she's sleepy (and has been doing this since she was 3 weeks old). She also pushes off my chest with her arms all the time.
My BABY is starting to HIT...? My baby is 10 months old. This is my first child. In the last couple weeks she has been starting to hit in the face and she thinks it is funny when I say no even in a stern voice. Today she slapped me on my chest I know she is probably noticing it makes noise when doing that and that is probably the reason she is doing it. After she slapped me I said no and she did it again. I said no in a more stern voice and set her down to play by her toys. She did not like this and started throwing a fit. She was hysterically crying and yelling at the floor. Every time I would look over she would start crying harder. I felt really bad. At this age is it okay to start disciplining? How do I go about doing so without over doing it? Is this normal behavior for this age?
What should my baby be doing now? My baby girl will be 3 month on Feb. 25th and she laughed out loud a week ago and the other day my husband was holding her and letting her lay on his chest and he had a pin in his shirt pocket and he looked down and she was chewing on it and he picked her up and she tried to lean back down and get it and then he turned her were she couldn't see it and she was trying to turn her neck to find it and we got her a small teddy bear for valentines day and she was holding it by her self and if you set toys in front of her she grabs at them and tries to pull them to her mouth and she will grab our finger and pull it to her mouth should she be doing more or is this normal stuff for he age and she also keeps pulling her head up when you hold her and she is kind laying down she wants to sit up ? And she is close to rolling over when we brought her home she would roll on her side and sleep
I don't want to be a sex toy!! Is this going to turn into anything?!? He does things to make me think that he might be confused. I KNOW for sure that he wants sex, he told me that he is attracted to me sexually and wants me in that way, but he also told me that he really likes me, but he isn't sure if he wants a relationship right now. We were texting once and I said I was on my way to his house and he said "okay baby." He has never called me that before so I said, "baby? That's new," and he asked if it's bad and I said no. His response was a smiley face. The other night he cuddled up to me on the couch and put his head on my chest and his arms around me. He almost fell asleep like that. He stares at me and tells me that I am beautiful and said that he likes looking at me. He tells me that he wants to see me and that he misses me. He also told me the other night that he isn't sure about sex because he doesn't want me to get clingy, and that he doesn't care enough to get clingy. His friend has called me his lady and his girlfriend and he hasn't denied it (as far as I know). He kisses me and walks me to my car. He texted me once and asked me when I am going to ask him out. I told him that I thought that he didn't want that and he said "you never know." He asks me why I have to play hard to get about sex, but he does these little things that could be more. He kisses my cheek and rubs on my leg when we sit together. He lets me put my legs on him and stuff... The only time he is genuine about my appearance is when we are alone. Any other time he cracks jokes, but everyone knows that he is kidding. I am 19 and he is 21. He REALLY wants sex, but I want to know that I mean something. Any opinions?
Why do so many parents STILL discourage their sons from playing w/ dolls,kitchen sets,& other nurturing toys? Over the past 20 years, I've noticed an enlightened trend taking hold in regard to little girls and the toys with which society, as a whole, has been encouraging them to play. While baby-dolls, kitchen sets, and Barbies are still staple 'girls' playthings- toy cars, trains, & trucks, along with building-blocks & legos are now considered 'must-have' items for the toy-chests of all 'well-rounded' little girls. And, in addition to having dress-up boxes full of princesses' ball gowns, tiaras, and high-heels, today's little girls are prompted to explore their more rugged sides- with dress-up attire in the form of uniforms for the armed forces, and police and fire departments. Also,in these modern times,no little girl limits her play-identity to that of a nurse, instead of a doctor; or a para-legal, when she can be a lawyer. So,if play prepares children for real-life,it would seem that we're preparing our daughters to 'bring home the bacon & fry it up in the pan', but... what about our sons?

I have two grandsons who have a room in my home. The oldest is 8 and the baby is 16 months. For 7 years the? room looked pretty good, blue and cherry red colors, denim blue walls, buck beds with blue covers and cherry red pillows, oak furniture, cherry red blind with blue striped top curtain. Old willow chests painted blue and cherry for toys. Lots of plush dogs. Now the baby is here and the room can't look too babyish, but the older child has different interest...... Any ideas? ps the room is only 12 x12 with one window. Hopeless?

what can I do to help my baby (3 months) whose teething? About 2 weeks ago he started to contantly drool a lot and make bubbles and trying to chew on toys, sucking on the back of his palm. Now he's miserable I don't know what to do I feel like im going to go insane. He was finally settling down to his routine and now it's hard to put him to sleep at night he constantly wakes up crying for no reason. We bought orajel but he's 3 months and 2 weeks so I don't want to use that for then twice a day maybe once during the day and once at night time. We bought him teething rings but some are a bit too big for him he still tries to stick them in his mouth. We have this little tooth brush for babies and he loves me rubbing that on his gums. (It's this little latex toothbrush with soft bristly you slide on your finger) What else can I do for him he hardly naps during the day time now he's tired but he keeps waking up after 5 mins. Also when im carrying him he sucks on my clothes and on my arms when I get him to stop doing that he cries. He rubs his face against my chest and drool all over me I guess his gums are very itchy. sorry for all the spelling errors, I was typing and trying to calm him down at the same time.
Should she leave him now or wait? To protect her name I won't mention it here. My heart breaks, read what she wrote "It hurts so much, I feel like choking and at times vomitting.. When we began to be with each other everyone was against us. His mother phoned me to say that if I do get pregnant with his child he will be a bastard. She warned that he is never going to marry me as it is too much shame to have their family name with mine. She died a year ago. He likes the idea of living with 2 women. He likes polygamy. When I realised I was pregnant last year I asked myself if I am able to go through this because he was often always in contact with another woman....here or there. Sex sex sex He has slept with a few throughout our relationship. Now I have given birth to my child and is 18 months old now. He found a girl on in the Internet, a travel agent from Seychelles named Vicky Bamboche. They have been sending each other sex messages. Make plans to meet. etc etc She calls him affectionate names like Hun and baby and promises him that if they meet she will give him a time of his life....She contacts him every day by phone calls or sms... I know because he told me about her. My life just crumbled right before my very eyes.... But we have just had a baby!!! He wants to see her and buy her ticket to come see him or he goes there whichever is the final decision. I sent her emails after emails begging her to please forget him and leave him alone. Stop asking for money and attention. Times are bad and we are trying to deal with financial issues and to please stop asking him for the moon. I even have to buy the cheapest clothes for my child. To buy my baby a toy, I'd have to think over and over again at whether or not my baby needs it. I am trying to not spend unnecessarily. She replied my emails with harshness asking me to shut up and etc. She asks him to give her money.... And more.. Now she is asking him to secure her life by providing a business for her to handle so she does not have to work for anyone again. I am so hurt. I begged her but she is so cold hearted she ignores me. Now I told him I am leaving. I shall make way for her to be with him. Let my baby and I manage on our own... It hurts too much...my chest is painful"
Budgie health problem? Well, I've had my budgie for about 10 years now, and she's pretty old. But recently I noticed a big bump under her stomach area. We also have a baby boy budgie, so we doubt that she's pregnant. Lately, she has been sleeping a lot, with one foot on the stick, and the other on the cage, sort of spreading her legs, leaving the bump in the air. She has been scratching herself a lot, and when she scratches the bump she makes a weird noise, sounds just like when you press a squeaky toy. Her chest area barely has feathers. The bump is about the size of a marble. Another thing I have noticed, she's really cranky. When I try to pet her, she bites me, and goes away from me. She won't even take treats from me anymore. Can someone please tell me what they think it is? Im really worried and scared for my girl. :( Oh and, do you think its contagious? I don't want my baby boy to catch it.
Why do I get weird looks when I'm out in town with my kids? Iβm just 24 years old, and when I go out into town with all my kids, I get weird looks. I have an 8 year old son, a 5 year old daughter, a 18 month old son and a 5 month old son. We donβt do anything weird, or anything like that. But when Iβm walking around wal mart, buying dinner, or clothes shopping with all 4 kids with me, I get weird looks. Is it because my husband isnβt with me. Weβre still married, and very much so in love, he just works evenings, so heβs not with us shopping. At first it didnβt bother me, but after a while, its starting to. Am Iβm just wondering why Iβm getting those looks. Before going into town, I make sure my kids are clean, and dressed for whatever the weather is. And, I know most people say this, my kids are very well behaved in the store. If they were crying and screaming for a toy, or whatever, Iβd understand getting weird looks. But most of the time, my oldest will push the cart for me, with the 17 month old in seat in the cart. The boys play with each other. Iβll have the baby on my chest, one of those baby holder thingys. And my daughter holding my hand, or walking near me, or holding on to the cart. I always make sure the kids are in front of me, so I can watch them. Any ideas?

Watching a mean kid how do you discipline? My friend needs me to baby sit her son he is almost 2 however he is REALLY MEAN to my son and every other kid he is around.. when he is around my son he hits him shoves him takes his toys away throws things at him and is mean to him in anyway he can.. my son is 14 months and her son is REALLY big he is in size 4 T he looks like a 3 yr old he weighs 35 lbs and my son weighs 25 so he has the advantage with being big and not to mention as mean as any lil kid I have ever seen! Last time he was here my son was laying on the ground watching TV her son came up stomped on his chest and dropped a toy on his head for no reason! He's always mean for no reason so anyway how do I discipline him when he is here? His mom always smacks his butt but it doesn't even phase him I don't want to smack him because he isn't my kid but I know that putting him in a corner wont do anything because when his mom does hit him he doesn't care he just hits her back and I'm pregnant so I can't have him hitting me but I won't put up with him being mean so he will be disciplined somehow.. My mom thinks that having someone he doesn't really know ( me ) yell at him should scare him but I doubt it he is just really bratty! What would you do for discipline? How do you discipline kids that aren't yours and what would you consider acceptable for someone who is watching your child? Thanks
Is the North Korea/Nuclear Situation Turning Into A Rock In Our Shoe? Look I don't want to argue ideology or politics right now, but this is just something I want to get off my chest. Doesn't it seem like this North Korea nuclear dilemma is turning into a rock in our shoe, or a thorn on our side? The world is in the midst of chaos: The Taliban and terrorism in general, the Iraq War, Iran protests, Swine Flu etc. Yet there's always that little voice from Kim Jong: "We don't care about the U.N. We have our nukes. We can test them if we want. Ohhh America, if you attack us we'll attack you right back!" It's annoying as hell. It's like they're provoking everything themselves. All of these problems in the world that deal with human life and decency are already tough to deal with, and then Kim Jong comes along just bragging about his weapons testing and talking about hypothetical war with the U.S. Doesn't it annoy you? Or is it just me. I read the news daily and see pictures of all the monstrosities going on in our world, but then there's always that article about N. Korea talking ish about the U.S. and talking about their weapons and hypothetical attacks! Can't Kim Jong see there's more important issues in the world than his dumb nukes. He seems like a cry baby, nagging for toys he can't have! Note: If these answers turn into heated debate about ideologies I might just delete this question. I don't care if how Bush would have handled it compared to Obama. I don't care about Republicans VS. Democrats. This question is more about human decency and a world in crisis and how dumb things like weapons come in the way of our lives. Voice your opinion in a respectful manner please. I'm not implying the situation is 'not serious'. Of course it is. I'm just saying there are other problems in the world that we should give our attention too. N. Korea's leader should see that there are bigger things in this world than their nukes.
Teen and child share room. Ideas? I'm 16. My sister's nearly 6. We share a room which is quite small with us both in there but still a decent sized room. We have two walls each - hers are one white and one baby pink with disney princess wall stickers while mine are one white and one where the alcoves are black and the chimney breast is wallpapered with black and white stylish paper. We're going for a black, white and pink theme but need ideas how to finish our room with furniture and accessories. We have two seperate beds, two seperate desks, one set of shelves each, one small shared wardrobe, one shared chest of drawers and she has several toy boxes and dollshouses. Does anyone know any good tips/websites about teen and child bedrooms?
:::::My 2 year old Nephew is displaying abnormal sings::::? To start i want to say i love this baby with all my heart. and i would do anything for him. My 2 year old nephew is the cutest thing ever ..but at the same time you would think he was such a bad kid. This may sound like just another "Terrible Twos" case but it is so much more deeper..and i dont know the words to write to explain it better then this.... I know every baby (well some) go through the terrible twos...but his behaviors are so bad. When he throws his fits the looks he gives you are so mean...and he purposly hurts himself... he will constantly throw himself to the floor and hit his head (hard) ..it dosent matter if there is a toy in the way ..or the edge of the chest..he will smash his head like it dosent faze him. ..Two days ago he did something that was really bad... when he was throwing his fits he just dropped to the floor screaming sat with his legs apart and starting bashin his forehead on the ground between his legs repeaditly...so i grabbed him and held him tight so he couldnt bang his head anymore.... he SCREAMS bloody murder when he dosent get what he wants..no matter where were at church, store..anywhere....and he cuts his eyes and gives these looks like he hates the world.....but then in the blink of an eye he switches and gives the hugest smile in the world says something cute as can be...like nothing happend.......so he throws fits out of nowhere...no one knows what triggeres it....we will all be in the room together and out of no where he just explodes for a half an hour...then when he is done he seems fine....now the way im explaning this i know it just sounds like another bratty two year old....i dont know how to type this and express the deepness that this really is.....i dont have any kids...but my sister has three and the other two did not act this way at all.....yes they were typical trouble maker toddlers........but this one ....he is as if you timesed it by 10 for no reason...and he starts hurting himself for no reason....and then is done like nothing happend...tears dry up fast.....and he turns from night to day......really disturbed baby to happy as can be baby.....and he hasnt stopped rocking himself to sleep...like he sits upright and rocks hard back in forth until he falls asleep...and he does it so hard to where i have to run up and put something soft behind his head .....by the way im the uncle replacing the father role as much as i can......i brought this up to the doctor...but once again the way i discribe it just sounds like another terrible twos baby.....but its soooo much deeper then that.....there is a child psycologist who attends our church who were looking into.....what do you think could be wrong.....i promise you its not just terrible twos...as ive been around dozens of babies in my family ..and this is so much worse....people cant stand to be around him other family and friends cant deal with it....just imagine your with the cutest biggest smilling baby and in the blink of an eye..you have the worst kid who was ever on Supper Nanny.....
Which part of the script should I use to draw a picture of? Lilo And Stitch Script Read the charges. Dr. Jumba Jookiba-- lead scientist of Galaxy Defense Industries-- you stand before this council accused of illegal genetic experimentation. How do you plead? Not guilty! My experiments are only theoretical-- completely within legal boundaries. We believe you actually created something. Created something?! Ha! But that would be irresponsible and unethical. I would never, ever... make more than one. What is that monstrosity? Monstrosity! What you see before you is the first of a new species. I call it Experiment 626. He is bulletproof, fireproof and can think faster than supercomputer. He can see in the dark and move objects times his size. His only instinct: To destroy everything he touches! So, it is a monster. Hey, just a little one. It is an affront to nature. It must be destroyed! Calm yourself, Captain Gantu. Perhaps it can be reasoned with. Experiment 626 give us some sign you understand any of this. Show us that there is something inside you that is good. Hmm? Meega, nala kweesta! So naughty! I didn't teach it that. Place that idiot scientist under arrest! I prefer to be called evil genius! And as for that abomination... it is the flawed product of a deranged mind. It has no place among us. Captain Gantu, take him away. With pleasure. Hmm. Uncomfortable? Oh... Good! The council has banished you to exile on a desert asteroid. So, relax... enjoy the trip and don't get any ideas. These guns are locked onto your genetic signature. They won't shoot anyone but you. Ow! Why, you...! May I remind the captain that he is on duty. Secure the cell! Aye, Captain. Captain on deck. All ahead full. Do... Does this, uh, look infected to you? Oh! Quiet, you. Gunfire in the cell bay! Open a channel. He's loose on Deck C! Red alert. Seal off the deck! Security, converge on door seven! Deadly force authorized. Fire on sight! There he is! Security to Bridge. It's in the ventilation system. He's headed for the power... grid. What was that? I don't think he's on the ship anymore. Confirmed. He's taken a police cruiser. Yeah... he took the red one. Yee-haw! Hmm?! That's it! We got it. We got it! Hyperdrive activated. System charging. He's engaged his H-drive! Warning-- guidance is not functional. Pursuit Commander that crazy trog is about to make a jump! Break formation! Get clear of that ship! Navigation failure. Do not engage hyper... Get me Galactic Control. Where is he?! He's still in hyperspace. Where will he exit? Calculating now-- quadrant section - - area . A planet called... Ee-arth. I want an expert on this planet in here now! What is that? Water. Most of the planet is covered in it. He won't survive in water. His molecular density is too great. No... Of course. How much time do we have? We have projected his landing at three hours, minutes. Oh, we have to gas the planet. Hold it! Hold everything! Earth is a protected wildlife preserve. Yeah. We've been using it to rebuild the mosquito population which, need I remind you, is an endangered species! Am I to assume you are the expert? Oh, I don't know about expert. Agent Pleakley at your service. Can we not simply destroy the island? No! Crazyhead! The mosquito's food of choice, primitive humanoid life forms have colonies all over that planet. Are they intelligent? No, but they're very delicate. In fact, every time an asteroid strikes their planet they have to begin life all over. It's fascinating, isn't it? With this, I've been able to study... What if our military forces just landed there? Well, that'd be a bad idea! These are extremely simple creatures, miss. Landing there would create mass mayhem and planet-wide panic! A quiet capture would require an understanding of - - that we do not possess! Who, then, Mr. Pleakley, would you send for his extraction? Does he have a brother? Close grandmother, perhaps? Friendly cousin? Neighbor with a beard? He got away? I'm sure this comes as no surprise to you. I designed this creature for to be unstoppable. Which is precisely why you must now bring him back. What? Me? And to reward you we are willing to trade your freedom for his capture. - - will not come easily. Maybe direct hit from plasma cannon might stun him long enough to... Plasma cannon granted. Do we have a bargain, Dr. Jumba? B-B-But it's a delicate planet! Who's going to control him? You will. Very good, Your Highness. I... I didn't quite... Uh, you're notjoking! So, tell me, my little one-eyed one on what poor, pitiful, defenseless planet has my monstrosity been unleashed?

It's sandwich day. Every Thursday, I take Pudge the fish a peanut butter sandwich. Pudge is a fish? And today we were out of peanut butter! So I asked my sister what to give him and she said a tuna sandwich. I can't give Pudge tuna! Do you know what tuna is? Fish? It's fish! If I gave Pudge tuna, I'd be an abomination! I'm late because I had to go to the store and get peanut butter 'cause all we have is-is stinkin' tuna! Lilo, Lilo, why is this so important? Pudge controls the weather. You're crazy. Please! Please! Everybody calm down! Girls... Shh. Lilo... I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't do it again! Maybe we should call your sister. No! I'll be good! I want to dance. I practiced. I just want to dance. I practiced. Ooh, she bit me. Eww! I called your sister. She said to wait for her here on the porch. We'll try again on Sunday. Does this look infected to you? Yeah. You better not have rabies. If you have rabies the dogcatcher is going to have to cut... Are you going to play dolls? You don't have a doll. This is Scrump. I made her, but her head is too big. So I pretend a bug laid eggs in her ears, and she's upset because she only has a few more days to... Lilo! Lilo? Lilo? Oh, no. You better be home. Hey! Watch where you're going! Stupidhead! I found a new place to dwell... Oh, Lilo! Lilo! Open the door, Lilo! Go away. ...You make me so lonely, baby... Lilo? We don't have time for this. ...I get so lonely... Leave me alone to die. Come on, Lilo that social worker's going to be here any minute! ...You still can find some room For brokenhearted lovers to cry away their gloom Don't make me so lonely, baby Don't make me so lonely I get so lonely I could die... The bellhop's tears keep flowin'... You are so finished when I get in there! Well, they been so long on Lonely Street They ain't ever gonna look back... Oh, I'm going to stuff you in the blender push puree, then bake you into a pie and feed it to the social worker! And when he says, Mmm, this is great. What's your secret? I'm going to say... Love... and nurturing. Hi. Uh... You must be the, uh... The stupidhead. Oh! Oh... Oh, you know, I'm really sorry about that and if I'd known who you were, of course I never would've... Uh... I can pay for that. It's a rental. Are you the guardian in question? Yes. I'm Nani. Nice to meet you, Mister...? Bubbles. Mr. Bubbles. That's a strange... Yes, I know. Are you going to invite me in, Nani? Uh... I thought we could sit out here and talk. I don't think so. Right. Uh... ...It's always crowded... This way. ...You still can find some room For brokenhearted lovers to cry away their gloom You make me so lonely, baby... Uh... wait here. Hey! So... lemonade? Do you often leave your sister home alone? No. Never. Well, except forjust now. Uh, I had to run to the store to get some... Oh! You left the stove on while you were out? Low heat! Just a simmer. Mmm! It's coming along great. I found that this morning. Lilo! There you are. Honeyface... this is Mr. Bubbles. Nice to meet you. Your knuckles say Cobra. Cobra Bubbles. You don't look like a social worker. I'm a special classification. Did you ever kill anyone? We're getting off the subject. Let's talk about you. Are you happy? I'm adjusted. I eat four food groups and look both ways before crossing the street and take long naps, and get disciplined. Disciplined? Yeah. She disciplines me real good. Sometimes five times a day. -With bricks. -No... Bricks? Uh-huh, in a pillowcase. Okay! That's enough sugar for you. Why don't you run along, you little cutie. The other social workers just thought she was a scream. Thirsty? Let me illuminate to you the precarious situation in which you have found yourself. I am the one they call when things go wrong and things have indeed gone wrong. My friends need to be punished. Call me next time you're left here alone. Yep. In case you're wondering, this did not go well. You have three days to change my mind. -Blah. -Eww! Lilo! Why didn't you wait at the school? You were supposed to wait there! Lilo! Do you not understand? Do you want to be taken away? Answer me! No! No, you don't understand? No! No, what? No! You're such a pain! So why don't you sell me and buy a rabbit instead?! At least a rabbit would behave better than you! Go ahead! Then you'll be happy because it'll be smarter than me, too! And quieter! You'll like it, 'cause it's stinky, like you! Go to your room! I'm already in my room! Hey. I brought you some pizza, in case you were hungry. We're a broken family, aren't we? No. Maybe, a little. Maybe a lot. I shouldn't have yelled at you. We're sisters. It's ourjob. Yeah, well, from now on... I like you better as a sister than a mom. Yeah? And you like me better as a sister than a rabbit, right? Oh... Oh, oh, oh, oh. Yes. Yes, I do. I hit Mertle Edmonds today. You hit her? Before I bit her. You bit her. Lilo, you shouldn't... People treat me different. They just don't know what to say. I'll tell you what. If you promise not to fight anymore I promise not to yell at you, except on special occasions. Tuesdays and bank holidays would be good. Yeah? Would that be good? Oh! My camera's full again. Aren't they beautiful? A falling star! I call it! Get out! Get out! I have to make a wish! Can't you go any faster? Oh, no! Gravity is increasing on me. No, it's not! It is, too, Lilo. The same thing happened yesterday. You rotten sister! Your butt is crushing me! Why do you act so weird?! It's me again. I need someone to be my friend... someone who won't run away. Maybe send me an angel... the nicest angel you have. What we when hit? There it is. It stay jammed under the fender. We better call somebody. We're looking for something that can defend itself... something that won't die... something sturdy, you know? Like a lobster. Lilo, you lolo. Do we have a lobster door? No. We have a dog door. We are getting a dog. So nice to see your pretty face again! Jumba? We need your name and address at the bottom of the form... The kennel's back this way. Go. Pick someone out. Hello? Hello?! Are there any aminals in here? Hello! Hi. Hoh... ha... Hi... Wow! Oh, yes. Mm-hmm. All of our dogs are adoptable. Except that one! What is that thing?! A dog, I think. But it was dead this morning. It was dead this morning?! Well, we thought it was dead. It was hit by a truck. I like him! Come here, boy. Oh! Aah! Wouldn't you like a different dog? We have better dogs, dear. Not better than him. He can talk! Say hello. He... Hel... Dogs can't talk, dear. He did. Does it have to be this dog? Yes, he's good. I can tell. You'll have to think of a name for him. His name is... Stitch. Now, that's not a real name... Hmm. Uh-uh, uh-uh-uh. ...in Iceland... but here, it's a good name. Stitch it is. And there's a two dollar license fee. I want to buy him! Can I borrow two dollars? He's all yours. You're all mine. Well, what's he doing? Shh! Keep quiet. He's listening for us. How good is his hearing? I mean, can he... Why don't you run? Coming! I'm coming! Stop! I have just determined this situation to be far too hazardous! Don't worry, I won't hit her. No! That girl is a part of the mosquito food chain. Here! Educate yourself. Using a little girl for a shield. This is low, even for you! Whoo-hoo! Bah! Tear him apart with all both my bare hands! Have you lost your mind?! What is it, Stitch? We cannot be seen! Bad dog, barking at nothing! You can't shoot, and you can't be seen. Look at you! You look like a monster. We have to blend in. Okay, I got to get to work. Stick around town and stay out of the roads, okay? I'll meet you at : . Hmm? Oh! Ah! Okay, I guess we should be going. What about Stitch? My friends! What do you want? I'm sorry I bit you and pulled your hair and punched you in the face. Apology not accepted. Now get out of my way before I run you over. I got a new dog. His name is Stitch. That is the ugliest thing I have ever saw. -Yeah. -Yeah. Eww! Get it away from me! I'm gonna get a disease! Somebody do something! Oh, great! He's loose. His destructive programming is taking effect. He will be irresistibly drawn to large cities where he will back up sewers reverse street signs and steal everyone's left shoe. It's nice to live on an island with no large cities. Are you okay? Doo-doo... Doo-doo... You can shake an apple off an apple tree Shake-a, shake-a, sugar, but you'll never shake me -Uh-uh-uh -Doo-doo-doo No, siree, uh-uh... Uh-uh. ...Doo-doo-doo Doo-doo-doo I'm gonna stick like glue Stick because I'm... Stuck on you I'm gonna run my fingers Through your long, black hair... Hey, over here, little buddy. ...Squeeze you tighter than a grizzly bear -Uh-uh-uh -Doo-doo-doo Yes, siree, uh-huh Doo-doo-doo, Doo-doo-doo I'm gonna stick like glue Stick because I'm... Stuck on you Hide in the kitchen Hide in the hall Ain't gonna do you no good at all 'Cause once I catch ya and the kissin' starts A team o' wild horses couldn't tear us apart Try to take a tiger from his daddy's side... When you're ready to give up just let us know, heh? Whee! ...Uh-uh-uh... Yeah! This is you. This is your badness level. It's unusually high for someone your size. We have to fix that. Ay-yi-yi, Lilo! Your dog cannot sit at the table. Stitch is troubled. He needs desserts. Oh, you didn't even eat your sweet potato. I thought you liked them. Desserts! David! I got a new dog. Oh! You sure it's a dog? Uh-huh. He used to be a collie before he got ran over. Yum! Hey... Blah! Eww! Howzit, Nani? Did you catch fire again? Nah, just the stage. Listen, I was wondering if you're not doing anything this... David, I told you, I can't. I... I got a lot to deal with right now. I know. I just figured you might need some time... You smell like a lawn mower. Look, I got to go. The kid at table three's throwing poi again. Maybe some other time, okay? Don't worry. She likes your butt and fancy hair. I know. I read her diary. She thinks it's fancy? Blech! Oh! Mmm! Aha! Look what I find! Get restraints! Right. Ow! Take that! Hurry! Uh, hold still just a... Aah! Hey, Nani! Is that your dog? Uh... All is well. Please, go about your business. I'm okay. Oh, your head looks swollen. Actually, she's just ugly. Darling... He's joking. Ugly-- look at me... Uh, this is not working out. Uh, b-but... Mm-mm. Yeah? Well, who wants to work at this stupid... fakey luau anyway. Come on, Lilo. Did you lose yourjob because of Stitch and me? Nah. The manager's a vampire and he wanted me to join his legion of the undead. I knew it. This is a great home. You'll like it a lot. See? Uh, Lilo... Comfy. -Hey! -Hey! What is the matter with you? Be careful of the little angel! It's not an angel, Lilo. I don't even think it's a dog. We just have to take him back. He's just cranky because it's his bedtime. He's creepy, Lilo. I won't sleep while he's loose in the house. You're loose in the house all the time and I sleep just fine! Hey, what are you doing? Stop that, Stitch! Hey! Look at him, Lilo. He's obviously mutated from something else. We have to take him back. He was an orphan and we adopted him! What about O'hana? He hasn't been here that long. Neither have I. Dad said O'hana means family. Huh? O'hana means family. Family means... ...nobody gets left behind. Or...? Or forgotten. I know. I know. I hate it when you use O'hana against me. Mmm. Don't worry, you can sleep right next to me. Look how curious the puppy is. This is my room, and this is your bed. This is your dolly and bottle. See? Doesn't spill. I filled it with coffee. Good puppy. Now get into bed. Hey! That's mine! Down! Mmm! Be careful of that! You don't touch this! Don't ever touch it! No! Don't pull on her head! She's recovering from surgery. No! That's from my blue period. Mmm... There. You know, you wreck everything you touch. Why not try and make something for a change? Ah! Wow. San Francisco. Save me! Eek! No more caffeine for you. This little girl is wasting her time. - - cannot be taught to ignore its destructive programming. Ooh! Push that over. What are you doing? Nothing! Uh, say, I want to try it on. No! Share! Let me try it! Hey! Ow! You're justjealous 'cause I'm pretty! Don't move. A mosquito has chosen me as her perch. She's so beautiful. Look, another one. And another one! Why, it's a whole flock. And they like me! They're nuzzling my flesh with their noses. Now they're, um, they're.... I think it might be a koala. An evil koala. I can't even pet it. It keeps staring at me, like it's going to eat me. Hello? Nani? Hello? Are you there? Now, this is interesting. What? - - was designed to be a monster but now he has nothing to destroy. You see, I never gave him a greater purpose. What must it be like to have nothing... not even memories to visit in the middle of the night? Nah! Hmm. Hmm... That's the Ugly Duckling. See? He's sad because he's all alone and nobody wants him but on this page, his family hears him crying and they find him. Then the Ugly Duckling is happy because he knows where he belongs. Hmm... Want to listen to the King? You look like an Elvis fan. Nani. Nani! Uh... yeah? Look. We can't go on together With suspicious minds... ...cious minds... ...can build our dreams... ...On suspicious minds... Heard you lost yourjob. Well, uh, actually, I just quit thatjob because, you know, the hours are just not conducive to the challenges of raising a child... Hey! I am so sorry about that. What is that thing? That's my puppy. Really? Thus far, you have been adrift in the sheltered harbor of my patience but I cannot ignore you beingjobless. Do I make myself clear? Perfectly. And next time I see this dog I expect it to be a model citizen... capisce? Uh... yes? New job. Model citizen. Good day. You look like an angel... Mrs. Hasagawa? I'm here to answer your newspaper ad. Elvis Presley was a model citizen. ...Walk like an angel... I've compiled a list of his traits for you to practice. Number one is dancing. I can't talk now, dear. I'm waiting for someone to answer my ad. That's why I'm here. Hands on your hips. Now follow my lead. Ooh-hoo. ...You fooled me with your kisses... Ah! That's my want ad. I know! ...Heaven knows how you lied to me You're not the way... Whoa, whoa! Why is everything so dark? I am all about coffee. Let's move on to step two. ...Walk like an angel... Elvis played guitar.

I wish I could, Nani, but I just hired Teddy and with tourist season ending... Concierge-er-ing is my life. ...You look like an angel... I just love to answer phones... This is the face of romance. ...Walk like an angel... She looks like she could use some lovin'. ...Talk like an angel, but I got wise... Oh, we might have something. Good. Now kiss her. ...The devil in disguise... I'm sure Elvis had his bad days, too. I'm all about saving people? ...I thought that I was in heaven... Actually, I do think we have an opening. Really? Okay, this is it. ...But I was sure surprised... Time to bring it all together. Oh, that'd be so great! You have no idea how badly I need this job. ...The devil in your eyes You're the devil in disguise... It's all you! Knock 'em dead! ...The devil in disguise You're the devil in disguise... Don't crowd him! ...Oh, yes, you are The devil in disguise... The devil in disguise, oh, yes... Hey, knock it off! Hey, Lilo! Howzit... Nani? We've been having a bad day. Hmm... Hey, I might not be a doctor but I know that there's no better cure for a sour face than a couple of boards and some choice waves. What you think? I think that's a great idea. -Aloha e, aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e -'Ano'ai ke aloha e -'Ano'ai ke aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e -Aloha e, aloha e 'Ano'ai ke aloha e 'Ano'ai ke aloha e...

We lost Stitch! Lilo? Lilo, look at me. Look at me, baby. Are you hurt? No. He's unconscious, but I think he's alive. David, take Lilo. This isn't what it looks like. We were... It-It's just that... I know you're trying, Nani but you need to think about what's best for Lilo... even if it removes you from the picture. I'll be back tomorrow morning for Lilo. I'm sorry. Nani? Is there something I can do? No, David. Uh, I need to take Lilo home now. We have a lot to talk about, Lilo. Thanks. You know, I really believed they had a chance. Then you came along. Lilo, honey... we have to, uh... Don't worry. You're nice, and someone will give you a job. I would. Come here. Aloha Oe, Aloha Oe E ke onaona noho i ka lipo One fond embrace, a ho'i a'e au Until we meet again. That's us before... It was rainy, and they went for a drive. What happened to yours? I hear you cry at night. Do you dream about them? I know that's why you wreck things and push me. Our family's little now and we don't have many toys but if you want, you could be part of it. You could be our baby and we'd raise you to be good. O'hana means family. Family means nobody gets left behind but if you want to leave, you can. I'll remember you, though. I remember everyone that leaves. L... L... Lost. I'm lost. Help! I don't like the ocean! Oh, look, a friendly little dolphin. They helped sailors in the war... It's a shark! It's a shark, and it ain't friendly! It looks like a dolphin. Tricky fish! Tricky fish! Oh, octopus, come and help me? An octo... octopus is worse than a shark! I hate this planet! Oh... little monster! Uh, Agent Pleakley here. I have lost patience with you both. Have you captured - - or not? Um... Uh-uh... Consider yourselves fired and prisonbound. Your incompetence is nothing short of unspeakable! But, uh... mm... We're fired! Now we do it my way! Your way? Oh... uh, wait! It seems I have overestimated Jumber and Blinkley. Uh, Jumba and Pleakley. Whatever. The mission is in jeopardy. This could be your chance to redeem yourself, Captain Gantu. How soon will you be prepared to leave? Immediately. Don't run. Don't make me shoot you. You were expensive. Yes. Yes, that's it. Come quietly. Mm... waiting. For what? Family. Ah! You don't have one. I made you. Oh... maybe I could... You're built to destroy. You can never belong. Now come quietly and we will take you apart. No, no, no, no, don't, don't run! Don't run! Lilo. I didn't hear you get up. Baby, what's wrong? Stitch left. Really? It's good he's gone. He didn't want to be here, anyway. We don't need him. Lilo... sometimes you try your hardest but things don't work out the way you want them to. Sometimes things have to change and maybe sometimes they're for the better... even if... Nani! David! I think I found you a job. You what?! Old man Kukhkini's store, but we got to hurry. Oh, um, okay. Lilo? Baby, this is really important. I need you to stay here for a few minutes. I'm going to be right back. Lock the door and don't answer it for anyone, okay? Things are finally turning around. Aw, David, I owe you one. That's okay. You can just date me, and we'll call it even. Come back here, you little...! Stitch? What is it? Shh! Oh, hiding behind your little friend won't work anymore. Didn't I tell you? We got fired this morning. New rules. Ha! Ooh. Oh, ooh! Ow! Ow! Ow! You ain't nothin' but a hound dog... What are we going to do? ...Cryin' all the time... Ooh! I love this song! Pliers. Screwdriver. Check. Come out, my friend from whomever you're hiding behind. ...Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit And you ain't no friend of mine... What the...? Ooh! Come on! What's the big deal? I'll put you back together again. I'll make you taller and not so fluffy! I like fluffy! No... No... No! Oh, leave my mother out of this! You could do with a makeover. I tried to give you my good looks but let's face it, something went wrong. No! Quick! Follow me! If we make it to... You're alive! They're all over the place! Running away? Here... let me stop you. You always get in the way! Where's the girl? What have you done to the girl? Hello? Cobra Bubbles? Aliens are attacking my house. No, no, no! No aliens! Blue punch buggy! No punch back. They want my dog! There's no need to alert the authorities. Everything's under control. Lilo, who was that? Oh, good, my dog found the chainsaw. Lilo! Don't hang...! Ha! You shouldn't play with guns. Oh, okay. Thank you. Oh, I just remembered. It's your birthday! Happy birthday! Merry Christmas! It's not Christmas. Happy Hanukkah! We're leaving Stitch? Trust me. This is not going to end well. -One potato. -Two potato. -Three potato. -Four. -Five potato. -Six potato. Seven potato, more. My... mother... told... me... you... are... it. Oh, I win! Thanks. Mahalo plenty. You won't be disappointed. I'll show up early to help with the morning deliver... Oh, don't turn left. No. One of them had a giant eye in the middle of his face. Oh, Lilo! Please don't do this. You know I have no choice. No! You're not taking her! I'm the only one who understands her! You take that away, she won't stand a chance! You're making this harder than it needs to be. But you don't know what you're doing! She needs me! Is this what she needs?! It seems clear to me that you need her a lot more than she needs you. Lilo! Lilo! -Lilo! -Lilo! Lilo! -Lilo! -Lilo! You ruined everything. You're one of them? Ooh! Get out of here, Stitch. Surprise! And here I thought you'd be difficult to catch. Ho-ho-ho. Silly me. Lilo? Lilo! There you go, all buckled up for the trip. And look-- I even caught you a little snack. No! Stop! Lilo. Aah! Okay, talk. I know you had something to do with this. Now where is Lilo? Talk! I know you can. Okay, okay. Where's Lilo? Lilo... Now all your washing is up! You're under arrest! Read him his rights. Listen carefully. Hello? Galactic Command? Experiment 626 is in custody. We'll wait right here. Huh? Don't interact with her. Where's Lilo? Who? What?! Lilo... my sister. Uh, sorry, we do not know anyone by this, uh... Lilo! She's a little girl-- this big! She has black hair and brown eyes and she hangs around with that thing! Uh... We know her. Bring her back. Oh, we can't do that. Uh-uh. That would be a misuse of Galactic resources. See, problem is... we're just here for him. So she's gone? Look at the bright side. You won't have to yell at anyone anymore. Come. O'hana. Huh? Hey! Get away from her. No! What did you say? O'hana means family. Family means... ...nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten. Yeah. Hey... What?! After all you put me through you expect me to help you just like that?! Just like that?! Ih.
What would you tell your children if you were to face death? 'Mommy's going away' On Thursday, the hospice nurse said Carolynne would likely die within 48 hours. Her respirations had fallen to six per minute. It was nearly impossible to rouse her from sleep. The nurse said she probably wouldn't regain consciousness. Carolynne's family hurried back to New Hampshire. That night, Brian sat by his mother's bed as visitors gathered around her. He often had asked questions about her condition - whether she felt pain, whether something could be done to help her breathe easier, who they would call when she died. Tonight he asked Rich why her muscles were twitching. "Mom's dying, Brian," he said. "Oh, yeah, yeah," Brian said and turned away. When Rich tried to tell him again, Brian plugged his ears. "Brian, take your fingers out of your ears, you're embarrassing yourself," Rich said. After a long pause, Carolynne's sister Laura Cummins, 36, said, "It's okay Brian. I don't want to hear it either." Even before Carolynne's illness, Rich's relationship with Brian was strained. Lately, Brian had been getting in trouble at school, where he's in the sixth grade. In recent weeks, Rich received daily calls from his principal. Brian and Melissa have limited contact with their biological father. Rich said he knows that Brian feels as though he has lost both parents. "He's got a bum deal," he said. Carolynne's sisters and cousin Anna had already assured her that they would help care for Brian. Rich said he is unsure how to move the family forward when he and Brian are battling each other. One night last week, Rich told Brian that if he didn't change his behavior toward adults, he could be sent to boarding school. Brian protested. He said he didn't want to leave home. Rich told him he didn't know what else to do. "I'm doing everything that people tell me I should do to help you," he said. Later on Thursday, Rich placed Elijah down in the bed next to his mom. Elijah draped his arm across her chest. "Mom? Mommy? Mom's not waking up," he said to Rich. "Mom doesn't hear me." Rich reminded him of the books they had read about people's bodies breaking. "Mommy's going away," Rich said, starting to cry. "Mommy's dying." When Elijah said she would never wake up "because she doesn't like me," Rich showed him the surgical scars on Carolynne's stomach and tried to explain what was happening to her body. The normally boisterous boy would later tiptoe quietly down the stairs at about 6 a.m. on the day Carolynne died to listen at the doorway of the room where his dad dozed next to his mom. Then he walked slowly back to the stairs in the blue darkness of near-dawn and kneeled, peering between the rungs of the railing at people sprawled sleeping on the couches. On Friday, Carolynne's pulse was weaker, her temples caved in from dehydration. In the afternoon, she opened her eyes for a few moments. Melissa sat at the computer in the kitchen. Rich asked her to join him beside her mom. "Your mother's eyes are open, and I want her to see you," he said. At first, Melissa refused. When Carolynne was in the hospital, Melissa had said she sometimes felt as if her mom was already gone. Since Carolynne had come home, she had kept her distance. After Rich prodded her again, she conceded. "Melissa's here," Rich said to Carolynne. "She's watching you." The next morning, Melissa stood at the end of her mother's bed quietly, her hair in two braids, and dressed for the state gymnastics meet. The adults in her family had explained to her that her mother would likely die that day. She chose to go to the meet anyway, and they let her. This was her own way of coping, they said. Through the morning, Carolynne's hands turned blue and her breath became fast and shallow. At about 1:30 p.m., Ellie Duhaime and Melody Cooper-Mishkit, longtime friends from The Family Place, turned Carolynne on her side to give her some medicine. When they returned her to her back, her breathing changed immediately. They called for Rich. The family ran to Carolynne's bedside. They held on to Carolynne and to each other until she died. Brian hugged Rich tight around the waist. "I love you," he said. "I love you, too," Rich said. Rich sobbed as he removed her wedding ring and his own and placed them on her chest. He fetched Elijah and sat with him next to Carolynne's body. "Mom's gone," he said. He touched his son's chest. "She stays in here, with you now." When Melissa came home hours later, she walked immediately upstairs to her room. She came down after prodding from the family's longtime baby sitter to go see her mom's body. Later, Carolynne's cousin Anna said she thinks that Melissa and Brian will be proud to have shown such courage in watching their mother's long fight and in experiencing her eventual death. "It will give them tremendous strength and take away - or at least diminish - the fear that they might have . . . of what happened," she said. In the days immediately following Carolynne's death, they were already showing strength: Melissa went to another gymnastics meet on Sunday. Brian has talked to his mom, if only in spirit, each night and each morning before he and Anna fall asleep on the couch together. Both kids were back at school yesterday. But Saturday night, when people from the funeral home came to take Carolynne's body, Brian sat with Ellie in the basement while Elijah ran around throwing toys. "Where do they have her sleep? Are they going to put her in a bed?" Brian asked, as the stretcher that carried his mom's body was wheeled across the floor above his head. "She's going to be lonely." Ellie told him that his mom's spirit is in heaven now, not in her body. Rich called down to say they could come up. Carolynne's body was gone. Elijah ran up the stairs, calling for his mom. For those of you who read this... this is a real artical from this week. Just wondering how people would deal or think they would deal with this situation. Elijah is 4, Brian is 12, and their sister is 14.

Phantom Pregnancy - 4yo unspayed ...? Hi - very new to this forum stuff however I have a peculiar behaviour happening with my female 4 yo Kelpiexmaremma unsterilized dog. Today, she found a soft toy on the floor and took it with her to the lounge and lay there with it between her back legs, tucked into her belly. If she moved, she moved it with her and tucked it up under her chest. My daughter lay on the lounge with her and threw the toy on the ground. Dog then jumped off the lounge and picked up the toy, and wanted to go outside. This she did and we silently followed her. As she carried it in her mouth she 'spooked' thru the garden and scratched the ground like digging a hole. I may add she has, since a puppy, buried food, crusts etc. She spyed us watching her and continued like in a trance to a place next to our shed and dug a hole and buried the toy. I had to come and answer the phone so daughter stayed and again the dog saw her. My daughter went to dig up the toy, to find it was not there, the dog had obviously been aware we were there and has now buried it in an unknown to us place. The dog kept walking around the house, panting etc. She found a very old squeaky toy in the garden that we still occasionally play with with her. She has done the same with the squeaky toy, on the lounge etc. She has since buried that too. A little while ago she gave up walking around very alert and in search of 'something' and settled back onto the lounge.......and I said to her " where is your squeaky toy"....she immediately got up and again started prancing round the house ( inside )looking for something. She came out of 15 yr daughters room with a small stuffed monkey !! and is again on the lounge asleep with it........ is this the classic phantom pregnancy? I have no idea but is very weird behaviour for her.....yes, she is spoilt, yes she is our 'baby' and yes she used to 'hump' larger soft toys, but never been so desperate to have one with her........let alone bury them. What can/should I do.... thanks
Swimmer syndrome / flat chested canine? I just took over a 6 wk pekingese pup that has a flat chest sometimes called swimmer syndrome. This beautifull baby was going to be put down, since we have another dog from this breeder she gave the pup to us at no charge. At 6 weeks she is wobbly when she walks, but she is spry, playing with toys, dragging leaves across the patio, chewing on fingers and a tiny bone...normal puppy stuff. She eats well and eliminates properly. I have done some reading online and have found that since she's already up and walking , all be it wobbly... she should be ok. I understand she may experience some other difficulties later in life. If you have had any experience with this condition I would love to hear your suggestions and experiences. I am keeping this baby, she will NOT be bred. She is just a doll, BTW, we named her "Buttons" Thank you in advance. I and my breeder know that she should not be breeding these puppies. This baby was from a litter of 5 and is the only one who has the condition. This is the 1st time my breeder has ever had a pup liek this. She did not knowingly breed this condition. It happens randomly and there is no rhyme or reason to which pup if any get come down with it. I was given the dog because she knew that If I can indeed rescue this baby, she will be cared for very well and not be bred.
Is this normal? My baby is almost three weeks old. He is doing things that he shouldn't be doing until he is 5 months old. He rolls from his stomach to his back, holds his head steady and straight, lifts head neck and upper chest when on his stomach, holds and shakes toys, watches people alertly, and smiles when you tickle him or when you smile at him. Is that normal for some babies or is he just super fast. He has been holding his head up by hisself sinse he was two days old. My sister said babies don't blinking until they are 2 weeks old, but he was blinking the first day he was born.
What do you think of this peice ? I'm writing a story. I've just started and it's yet to be completed. Please read and comment and if you have and ideas, like where should it take it , i'm open. thankyou !! I was having a blast tiding up my shelf. Woohoo!! Ultimate and absolute fun!! Taking out books, dusting them, sizing 'em up with others and then for the final touch carefully placing them so as to not make my over-loaded shelf go tumbling down. Just kidding. I wasn't having a blast. Just passing time...waiting for something interesting to happen. That's when my friend Sidrah called. Me: Hey!!! Sidrah: Wheedleoklleemulleetyt? (She spoke the whole sentence in a go..so fast!) Me: What!?!? Sidrah: Will you come with me tonight? Me: To the Mall? Sure!! (We'd been planning for the mall since ages!!) Sidrah: Not the Mall! Remember Camper? The boy from Summer Fun Classes I told you about? Iβve to baby-sit his little sister so I was wondering if youβd come with me? Me: Camper? You mean that cute boy you told me about? You are going to baby-sit his sister? Sure!!! Iβll come. (How could I not..CUTE BOY!!) Sidrah: Not the cute one, Sana, the weird one. Me: Ohhhh..That oneβ¦ (Smile straightening) Sidrah: Oh please, do come with me!! Me: I donβt want to dieeeβ¦ (Yeah...I know I can get morbid every so often) Sidrah: Please!!! ..Iβll give you anything you want. Me: Really? (Cheering up) Sidrah: Yes!!! Me: Umm β¦let me see (I was imagining rubbing my finger's together in an evil way just for the effect) ... Can Iβve that Zac Efron poster you bought on Thursday? Sidrah: No! Not that one! Besides you bought one yourself too. Me: Yeah, but yours different and I think heβs looking way cuter in it. (Oooh Zac!! Love his smile) Sidrah: You can have my pink earrings. You were practically drooling over them when I showed them to you. Me: But now I think theyβre a bit childish. Give me the poster...just two weeks. I want to show it off to my cousin. (Who's imaginary. LOL. And Ooh Zac!! Love him dance!!) Sidrah: Fine. Only for two weeks. And come over my place, now! Me: Hey! You canβt boss me around. (Happy Day!! Ooh Zac!! Love his nose!!) Sidrah: The poster! (In a singsong voice) Me: Iβm coming β¦.we donβt wanna be late, do we? Sidrah: Yes, we do not. Cya! Me: Bye! Sidrah & Me: And thanks! Sidrah & Me: Whatever! Sidrah & Me: What are friends for! Sidrah & Me: Yeah right! Bye! Yay! So I was getting Zac's poster AND I was going to have some fun at Camper's place. Well I hoped 'coz from what Sidrah had told me it sure didn't sound boring. OK so it was half-past six and I had about fifteen minutes to get to Sidrah's place. I checked out my clothes in the mirror. Blue shirt, black trousers. Fine. I quickly put on some facewash and splashed water on my face. Done. Oh yeah shoes too, I slipped into my black sneakers lying nearby. I ran out and climbed into my bike and rode with the wind blowing my hair away. *** I got to Sidrah's place in time. She handed over the poster to me. Zac was safe and sound. Sidrah was almost ready, trying to put on her pink earrings. They weren't childish, but Zac's better. Anyway, we were off to Camper's place soon. *** We reached Evilsville..umm Camper's place easily. After parking our bikes in the yard we headed for the door. Sidrah rang the bell. I wanted to ring! A lady opened the door. Must be Jane. Sidrah introduced me to her and I saw Sidrah noticing me still clutching Zac..the poster. I was confused 'coz Jane did not say "Come in, come in.." I wanted to go in. So I told her it was nice meeting her and then I shook hands with her. And before the handshaking was over she was hugging me. Sidrah said something about Zac.. the poster. About why I'd brought it with me. I was midway replying when Jane snatched it from me and was all over Zac. Before I knew it Coral was thudding down the stairs and Jane declared, "Oh itβs that boy from TV girls are always talking about. Coral loves him! " And then Coral was standing right in front of us hugging a rather huge but cute teddy. Jane was like "Coral just look what Sidrah and Sana have brought you! " "Who's Sana?β, the little girl demanded. And I was introduced again. Then her mom gave her our Zac poster. I felt so angry but I couldn't show. I didn't listen to what she said next but soon Coral was going back to her room with Zac. And Jane had left. "Hey Coral, listen, itβs a mistake.. I mean itβs not for you, really β¦your mum just thought we brought it for you...β, Sidrah sort of mumbled loudly. "Is that so?", Coral raised an eyebrow "Well, you can have it back when youβre going but meanwhile Iβm going to play with it", the next sound I heard was her door slamming. Oh well! "Sheβs up to something", Sidrah told me in a suspicious tone. "I donβ think so. She looks fine to me." Well what else could I say..I only saw her. But I'd agree if Sidrah said she was mean and rude and ...uhh Zac-stealer. "Then youβre mistaken because sheβs not fine", Sidrah said in a mark-my-words tone. She rarely spoke like that. Anyway we closed the door behind us and turned on the TV. Something good ought to be on. But we ended up watching Cartoon Network. But 'twazn't that dull. We had a few laughs. I liked Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends. And I knew Sidrah liked Blue. She'd told me once. And then Sidrah was hungry like always. She brought me an apple from the kitchen and herself two. Before having a bite I thought they might be poisoned. I ate anyway and I' still alive. Then we watched a cartoon about a boy called Timmy who had really stupid parents and two friendly godparents and an evil babysitter Vicky. And here at Evilsville it was the girl who was sort of evil according to Sidrah. And then it started to get boring. When it looks like we're gonna die of boredom, we snoop, we spy, we imagine and solve mysteries. Strange mysteries. "Let's SPY!", suggested Sidrah. I nodded in agreement and we were off to Camper's room. Camper's room was HUGE. On one corner was a bed with a Batman bed sheet and assembled neatly just in front of the bed were rows of boy toys; cars, action figures, yo-yos, slingshots, Lego blocks etc. In another corner of the room, rather far, was a really cool computer. Black and sleek, flat screen. Anyway, not one bit like my useless mass of metal. There was another little table with comic books and magazines and a shelf with loads of CDs. But there was no stereo in sight or a CD player for that matter. Maybe he listened music on his computer. Anyway, we made a run for the computer. Since it was Sidrah who rang the bell, I got to get the mouse. The desktop was a crowd of icons and peeking behind the icons was the Bobble wallpaper. Bobble was Camper's imaginary friend. Sidrah told me so. He was a green circle with an orange nose and a sunny grin. Excessive-cuteness, I'd say, for an imaginary pal. Sidrah wanted to check out all the music, I was more for hidden documents. But 'there was no a secret treasure chest of either as we were hoping. Not much music, not my taste anyway, and no secret folders at which we could "OOH" and "AAH". Sigh. But we did see some family pictures. Looked like a really loving family. They'd taken pictures of everything. Camper having a bath, Coral having a haircut, Jane washing clothes etc. The funniest one was of Camper and Coral piggyback-riding a man who was in the process of vomiting. LOL. Of course the man was their dad, James. Sidrah said he didn't live with them. Then we checked out a couple of more folders. Oh right, here's a quasi-secret folder "OUR IMAGINARY PALS." It was full of Bobble and Voldimod, Coral's imaginary creature. He was really Prince Charming. Coral's imaginary crush! We laughed so hard at all the images our stomachs hurt. We were in such an uncontrollable fit of laughter that one of us, don't know who, accidentally hit the switch, cutting off the power, and the computer screen went black. Oh well. We snooped around Camper's room some more and then went for Jane's room. I was still annoyed at Jane for snatching Zac."Isn't Jane niiiiice? Let's clean her rooooooom", I squeaked bitterly. I was only being sarcastic but I guess Sidrah took it for real. Anyway the room was already spick and span. Her room was as huge as Camper's and very very pink. The carpet was fluff and the pillows were fluff. And everything was insanely pink. It was like stepping into a room made of cotton candy. Jane was sooo girly! I couldn't have ever guessed that. Sidrah went checking out the closet. I went for the side-table drawers. Whoops..wrong one. This one was undergarments. You guessed it, pink and fluffy. I was SOO embarrassed and disgusted. Oh my. I slammed it closed. Okay, cross my finger's, I thought, and go for the middle drawer. I was hoping I'd find something TOP SECRET. And I did! Before I even took another look at it I yelled "Sidraahhh!!!" ...jeez I was excited. So the fun's begun! After all our efforts. I had in my hands three stuffed manila envelopes. One was stuffed with pictures of..any guesses? ... Hereβs a hint - IT WAS A MAN. Yup you're right it was James. The second one was full of letters to Jane from James. And the third one had in it a diary. Every page was scribbled with hearts ... PINK HEARTS and in each was written Jane & James or Jane loves James and so on. "What should we check out first?β, I asked Sidrah, as I was too excited to make that choice myself. "How about the letters?β, Sidrah said without a pause and it was almost a whisper. I could tell she was just as excited as I was. And it was the kind of excitement where you know you could get caught. And the terrifying possibility of getting caught was a boost to adrenaline rushing all through us. "OKAY!!", I exclaimed and we were poring all over the juicy letters.
Do you think my dog is smart and a good dog? everyone loves my dog, what do you think? ok she is 16 months old..... Black shepherd/malamute, she is all black with a white mark on her chest that we've been told looks like the RDS skateboarding logo, she has one very bright blue eye, and one very dark brown eye... never been to any kind of training/behavioural classes, all of her training was done by me and my husband. she wont bark unless she thinks something is a threat to me and my son, only when my husband is not present (like when our dryer was delievered, and the delivery guys came in while my husband was at work). She will hold her duty as long as she has too (we once had to leave her home due to an out of town big emergency, from 3:00 friday afternoon to sunday at 2:00 in the afternoon, and she didnt make a mess, we expected one, and werent going to give her trouble obviously, but she made non, and i felt bad that she held it that long) she is incredibly gentle with our just over year old son, lets him pull on her face and fur, fall on her and everything, and will just stay there, and give him a little lick and wag her tail. she does quite a few tricks like- Play dead (flips onto her back rather quickly, and holds her one paw beside her head, and stays until you say "GOOD GIRL!!) sit stay (for as long as she is told to, she will stay for over an hour if you ask her to) give you her Left paw on comand give you her Right paw on comand In A Circle (she will turn around in a circle) Other Way (she will turn in a circle the other way from what she did the first time) lay down head down (while she is laying down she will put her head on the ground on comand) up (she will stand up at the instant you say this) Up up! (she will gently jump and put her paws on your chest, or arm if you hold it out) crawl -if you ask her to "stay", and throw her toy, she will stay without hesitating, and then if you say "Now, when i count to 3, and only when i count to 3, you go get that, ok? 1....2....3!" and she will only go on 3, you can even phyc her out by saying another number in place of 3 and she will move, but stop before a paw leaves the ground. -if you say "go to the front" she will trot to the front door mat and laydown. If you say " go to bed" she will trot into her kennel, and just poke her head out. If you say " go over there!" and point in any direction, she will go that way. If you say "Go see the baby!" she will wag her tail really fast, and go give one little lick to the top of the baby's head. If you say "with me" she will stay at yopur side, and not leave it, while she is off the leash, inside or outside. If you say "wanna fight?" and hold a fist out, she will just put her mouth on you, but the more rough you are with her, the more rough she is with you (ie- my 70 year old grandma does this with her and she is gentle as can be, as does my husband who like to play rough with her.) and as soon as you say "enough", she will stop and put her head on your lap if she can. she will give you a "high five", if you hold your hand up chest level, she will gently jump up and put both her paws on your one hand she will most definately not jump up on you unless you tell her "up up!" when someone comes in the house, and she wants to greet them, we like her to wait until they have their shoes off first, and we tell her to "go up stairs", and she will go there and stay there until we call her down. (our stairs are right at our front door, so she can see them the whole time) If you tell her "downstairs" she will run the the basement door, she loves it down there, as it is almost completely empty, and she loves playing down there too as it is cooler than the rest of the house. she is a submissive dog when meeting any other dogs, from little one and pups to bigger ones than herself. If you put a piece of food on the floor, and she sees it, if you tell her "dont touch" she 100% will not touch it till she is told If she is starring at you while eating, and you say "dont beg", she will immidiately leave the room, but if she was told to stay, and is told dont beg just moments after, she will turn her head so she cant see you eating. Thats all i can think of that she does... wow, i never realized she does sooo much lol and is only 16 months and just turned it too. We have had her since she was still supposed to be with her mom, she was 4 weeks when we got her, but the owners were going to bring all the pups to the pound, so we wanted to give her a good life and didnt want too see more pups in the pound, but at 150$ a piece, we could only afford to take one, or we probably would have walked out with all 8 and their mom, whether the owners liked it or not! they shopuldnt have bred her if they were not ready to care for the pups until they found a home right?lol. Anyways... thats my dog, and I love her, i just want to know what other people think.... Thanks! and sorry for the long post, i'm just proud of my dog lol

Seven yo BIL trying to hurt my 11 mo. I really need advice on this one! (Please ignore other thread)? This is long, but I really need some advice so please take the time to read it. Thanks a lot! Over the last few months, my husbands little brother has been really getting out of control. My husband and his older brother are 25 and 28, he is only 7. He's been the "Baby" all this time, but since my son was born his jealousy is getting scary. Here are just a few of the things he's done to my son: Put his foot on his back and pushed/kicked him Throws numerous toys at him Jerks things out of his hands Yells at him When I was holding my son on the balcony of our porch to show him some things outside he came over and pushed his chest really hard. Had I not been holding his hands, he'd have fallen over 10 ft. Shakes him Squeezes his wrists Every time I've told him to leave him alone (not nicely), and MIL has told him to stop, but he just tells her to shutup Okay. This is over the last few months. I get soooo mad every time, and MIL usually smacks his leg or yells, but nothing ever eally comes of it. He just rolls his eyes. Well, yesterday we were over at thier house for our sunday visit, and while he and my son (I watch his ever move while we're there) were playing in the toybox he put my son in a semi-headlock and pushed him over. MIL yelled at him to stop and I picked up my son and told him to play with me. (which obviously pis$es my MIL off) A few minutes later BIL is sitting on MILs lap and my son crawls by and he kicked him in the back! I didn't know what to do! I don't think it's my place to yell at another kid but I told him that the next time he touches him, it'll be the last time he sees him. MIL smacked his leg again, and he rolled his eyes. I just lost it. I took my son and went to the bathroom and was crying. She never addressed me or the situation, so when my FIL woke from his nap I told him about everything that has happened because MIL won't ever say anything. The little brat just gets away with EVERYTHING! He spanked BIL. I went to my MIL and tried to explain why I had talked to him and she said "well, I already smacked his leg" and was SO MAD at me. I just told her that it's her responsibility to control her son, and it's my responsibility to PROTECT mine, and we left. Well, I fully expected to get in the car and have my husband back me up but instead he claims that I overreacted and that I blow everything out of proportion. I need someone to tell me he's crazy. I need to know that I wasn't in the wrong. I told "D"H that I didn't want to take him over for a visit for at least two weeks and that he wasn't spending that night anymore (because if he'll do that with me watching, what is he doing when I'm not there?) and he said he'd be dam*ed! He said I wasn't going to hang her grandson over her head. Well, the way I see it is, if she cares so much about her grandson, than his safety will be JUST as important to her as it is to me and she needs to know that if she expects to see her grandson, she's going to have to keep HER son under control! "D"H said he'll take DS over there anytime he wants and that I won't stop him. What am I supposed to do with these people? I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle with the whole family. The only sane one is my FIL, he said that MIL would get over it. But I don't feel like the situation is better, but worse because now he's been spanked because of my son.

What do you think about this? I RECEIVED THIS FROM THE BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE BAHAMAS, SO ENCOURAGING!!! ENJOY!! A young couple wanted to have a family very much, but the wife was unable to conceive, so they decided to adopt a baby. They went to several agencies and were told that it would take several years before they could get an infant, but if they wanted to adopt one from a foreign country, such as Korea or Vietnam , they could get a baby much sooner. They were told that if they would consider a child of about 7 or 8 years, they would get one almost immediately. So, they put their application in for an older foreign child. While all of this was taking place, the couple was contacted in the door-to-door ministry by Jehovah's Witnesses. They began studying, progressed very quickly, and were soon baptized. They became very active in field service, and decided to regular pioneer. Therefore, they decided that they would wait until the New System to have children. They went to the adoption agency and informed them of the circumstances, and told them of their desire to stop the proceedings. However, they were told that the agency had just been notified that a little boy from Vietnam was on his way for them. The agency pleaded with them not to cancel. With mixed feelings they went home to think it over. They took it in prayer to Jehovah and decided to go ahead with the adoption. They figured since he was older and would be in school most of the day, they would go ahead with their plans to pioneer, and just see how things work out. They prepared their home for the arrival of their new son, fixed up the bedroom, bought lots of toys, and placed a copy of 'My Book of Bible Stories' on his bed. At last; the day came to bring the little boy home. They showed him through the kitchen and living room. He seemed so sad and hardly glanced at the room full of toys, but spotted the Bible Story Book immediately. He ran over, grabbed the book, held it to his chest, and began crying. When they were finally able to calm him down enough to talk, he explained that both his mother and father had been Jehovah's Witnesses before they were killed in Vietnam . He had been praying to Jehovah that he would be adopted by a family of Jehovah's Witnesses. This experience was given at a District Convention. The District Overseer concluded by saying, Never feel that Jehovah doesn't answer prayers, even those of a little child.'

tummy time/push up problems? Does anyone have any ideas on how to get my 3 month baby boy to want to push up? He will do it when hes on us but not when hes on the floor or bed. we've tried toys but he just gets annoyed or falls asleep. He loves to walk up our chest and sit up to look around. I know he would enjoy it if he could just get past the tummy part. I work with him 4 times a day for five minutes. Most of this time he's being held (on our shoulder) He doesn't have that much time on his back. I do have a mat but i'll keep trying it
Kitten help I know this sounds crazy but? I have never had a kitten or cat before & when I first bought my Siamese baby home he was scared & didn't want to be picked up. After about 3 days he got used to me. Now he doesn't leave me alone especially when I am trying to sleep he needs to be on my neck or face area & that makes it difficult to sleep. Even when I am just laying around he needs to be near me or on my chest. When I leave he cries for about 1/2 hr ( my neighbor told me) I am all for him being affectionate but sometimes I need to be left alone. When I push him away constantly he is soo determined to be near me that I just give in cause he cries. I bought him almost $200 in toys to try to hold his attention and it does only for about 15 min. I live in a loft so I cant lock him in another room ( wouldn't do that anyway he is just a baby )is this normal for a kitten?? If so will he grow out of this constant wanting to be on top of me?? It's bothers my boyfriend 2 because my kitty gets annoying but he understands Had a 9 month old female cat with her but my friend moved out and they started to get along but he was still the same way with me

Is this normal??? help?t? My daughter is almost one..& my Question is.. on saturday she got the sniffles...(wasnt too bad at all) Sunday it was a little worse to were she had a runny nose..(so we suctioned) on monday i bought baby Vick's....and was giving her Tylenol when she was fussy. (in case there was pain) I was suctioning her nose as well.. I can feel on her chest when she breaths that she is congested too like that inner cough feel (hard to explain) you can hear when she breathes.. (reminds me of someone who has bronchitis) (its not hat though bc shes not coughing) now she is waking up every half hour crying.. and the last thing is that yesterday she started pooping out clearish white poop.. with some yellow in it.. with little things in it.. im not sure what they are..and she went at least 6 times yesterday..and that isn't an exaggeration.. its almost as if she has diarrhea but there isn't much to it..im making sure she is hydrated since she is going so much. & now its to the point where she wont take much food .. if she does its very little and shes been spitting up a bit.. not so much through up but its there..im going to the doctor today.. but any ideas until then? She doesnt look sick at all... looks happy and plays with her toys .. talks.. walks.. everything! its just this nose and pooping!

What has been your favorite age so far? A Little Long? My son is a year and a half old. When he was a newborn I LOVED all of the cuddling and the falling asleep on my chest and rocking him to sleep. When he got to be about 4-5 months I loved that he could reach and grab for toys. When he was 8 months I loved that he crawled and when he was almost a year old I loved that he walked...Now he talks so much and runs around and plays. Its so hard to pick a favorite age. What are your favorite ages? I also have a 3 month old and I just love the fact that I have a toddler and a baby..I have the best of both worlds
