Jax has always loved arranging his toys. He recently “decorated” his train set with a bunch of his dinosaurs and cars. Look how proud he looks of his work.

Infants’ Mylicon Gas Relief Dye Free (simethicone-antigas) non-staining drops sold in one-ounce plastic bottles distributed nationwide after October 5 have been recalled.

Some bottles could include metal fragments that were generated during the manufacturing process. The potential for serious injury is low, and any effects are expected to be temporary and resolved without medical treatment.

Consumers who have purchased Mylicon drops with lot numbers SMF007 or SMF008 should immediately stop using the product and contact the company at 1-800-222-9435. Parents who have given the product to their infants and are concerned should contact their health care provider immediately, the companies said.

Britax One-Week Sale

Csara — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 01:35:28 +0000

Just wanted to give a head’s up that amazon is having a 10% off sale on Britax products during the week of November 17-23.

I didn’t want to speak too soon….

I was waiting a little while to see if it was just a lucky day or 2, or if it was for real before I said anything. Too many times I’ve mentioned something and then it turns out to be a fluke, so I was being cautious. But anyway, it looks like this is for real. My baby boy is sleeping through the night!!! And I don’t mean “12-5″ through the night…….I mean like 7pm to 7am through the night.

I feel so incredibly lucky. I had a helluva time with my other son, as many of you know. He still doesn’t like to sleep, but thankfully as he’s gotten older, he does it anyway. Now my only issue is this stupid time change. For some reason, my kids think it’s cool to wake up at 6 or 6:30 a.m. Hey, at least it’s light out at that hour, versus it literally being dark at 7 a.m. last week, but still…….I don’t like it.

Are your kiddos having a hard time adjusting to the change? I know (hoping) that we’ll gradually get used to it, but wish it would happen like NOW.

Trick or Treat?

Straight Ticket Voting

Csara — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 16:56:18 +0000

I know I don’t normally stray from writing about parenting related things, but I felt the need to share this. It’s extremely important.

If you know anyone in the following states, the following applies to them. These are the fifteen states that offer STV (straight ticket voting, also sometimes known as SPV, straight party voting):

1. Alabama

2. Indiana

3. Iowa

4. Kentucky

5. Michigan

6. New Mexico

7. North Carolina

8. Oklahoma

9. Pennsylvania

10. Rhode Island

11. South Carolina

12. Texas

13. Utah

14. West Virginia

15. Wisconsin

I am not sure how any of you plan to vote, but please beware. This was forwarded to me and it was checked on snopes, see below.

Regarding the voting process on Nov 4, 2008!

In the event that any of you are planning to vote democrat on November 4, I thought I’d share the following info I received today from a
registered voter. When we go into the voting booths, if we first select the button “all democrats”, Barack Obama will be excluded from the vote.
However, if we choose ‘Barack Obama’ first and then select all democrats’, he will earn our votes. It’s likely you will not be told this information when you go to vote.

THIS IS TRUE, see the link below from snopes.

*Now I’m not saying that this is going to happen in ALL of those states, but just BEWARE!!!

2 months

Csara — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 13:13:36 +0000

Jett turned 8 weeks on Saturday and will officially be 2 months old tomorrow. Last night he truly slept through the night for the first time. He’s only been waking once a night for several weeks now, but last night he went to bed at 7:30 and didn’t wake up until 5:15 a.m. when his big brother woke up and went into his room.
