Stay at Home Schedule

I am looking to create a daily schedule for our 4 year old. Some thing from 8AM wake up time to 8 or 8:30 PM sleep time. Some basic activities, structured play, he is a type A personality child and we are trying to get him into a daily routine to have more peace in the house. Plus I DO NOT LIKE the amount of tv he gets in a day. He has an addiction to the tv we can't even turn it on for us (the adults) because he gets glued to it. It is extremely difficult to get him to sit still at any time for anything, even meals. I breastfeed...

Seeking 12 Month Old Routine

Hi. What do you do with your 12 month old, especially in the morning? Mine takes a long nap now around 10:00 (about 1.5 to 2 hours) then it's time for lunch. At this point, I can get him out. I would take him to a class in the morning, but then I'm stuck in the car for his 2 hour nap afterwards. He doesn't transfer well from car to house. Anyone care to share their typical day with me? thanks!

Miss No Naps

Hello, My almost three year old has decided she doesn't want to take naps anymore. Every afternoon I read her a story, tuck her into her bed with her music on, and then the battle begins.

Flight with 16 Month Old

I will be taking a flight soon with my 16 month old. I have flown with her many times, but not since she has started walking and I took her off the bottle. I plan to bring our portable DVD player, but she is not at an age yet where that takes her attention for long. I am looking for ideas on small, but entertaining toys for the airport and flight. I am also wondering how to help with popping her ears (when she was on the bottle I would just put it in her mouth). By the way I will be by myself with her. Thanks!
