Uhmmm..thats "properly aged" <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I don't know about SiS but I've been sole (and "soul") care-taker for 14 years of my 4 so I have a teensy bit of experience...

Nothing better than a 2-5 year old, you are still perfect to them.

And a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to him!

Think balloons, go to a party store and get a small hand pump (about $4) and a bag of different shaped balloons. Heck that doesn't even matter really, the different shapes are to keep the adults amused <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Blow up a buttload of them while he is napping and just leave them on the floor! The kids and I spent hours playing with those and yours will squeal with delight kicking them around and popping them. I blew up 500 of them one afternoon while they slept and you'd think it was Christmas morn! The best entertainment $5 can buy!

Have a good day Surviving

WOW....he's hit 2 fast.....and all the temper tantrums yesterday came accordingly but I still think DS had a greatday. His day started off going to day care as mommy needed to finish enrolling us in college (yes us he's going to daycare there). he got to play with all his friends and have cup cakes then he napped really good. So then mommy got to pick him up first we went to have ice cream he even got his own little cone...but the games were more interesting he had a few bites and was done. Next we headed to this HUGE park we have in town and I let his and the combined sugar in his system go. He had a blast and even learn how to climb upone of the ladder things on a play place. After an hour or so we went to target where I let him pick out some new shirts and new sippy cups (we are so broke it's all I could afford clearance shirts and sippy cups). Then we went home to meet with a lady who bought one of our cat trees. Then to grandma and poppa's house we went where he ran and played and talked with his cousins. whew he had a day and on the way home he was lulled to sleep by the motion of the car and soft classical music.

SIHW, happy belated birthday to your little guy!

yes but the true fun will be this weekend....i've been practicing my...ARRRGGG maties's. :P

HEY! You young whipper snapper! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />



Aww you had to say it. I just happen to be on of the resident experts on recirculated cabin air. No I'm NOT kidding. Studies including air test samples have shown that cabin air quality is cleaner than any office building. Most airlines now operate their AC systems with HEPA filters that filter out 99.97% of all contaminants including viruses and bacteria. The primary source for colds on the plane is the dried out mucous membranes due to the low humidity COUPLED with the stuff you touched on the plane and the guy sneezing next to you. So the bottom line is, wash your hands and drink lots of water before long haul flights.

Jeez I'm scary. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Besides when you fly Southwest Airlines, that's what you get. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

You win! I helped my WW raise S18 from age 7 until now, and adopted him at age 12. Now, I have custody of DS8 on my own. I think I can handle it.

Great balloon story! Bravo!

Aged 2-5 or even 7 is just great. They begin to communicate, to comprehend, and then you see so many new things through their eyes. Treasure everything.

Nicely aged SIS. I like it. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
