 Dear all, we recently toured Stratford school and were
 very impressed with the academic approach there.
 However our kids are still very young - do you have
 experience with their program for 3 and 4 year olds? Do
 they achieve a good balance of playing and learning?
 Any feedback, positive or negative will be appreciated.
 They told us that they have several pairs of twins at
 school :)Many thanks!

 Hi there - so we are - going through milk by the
 gallons -- (as I'm sure many of you are as well)..I was
 wondering if anyone has signed up for "Mr. Moo" weekly
 - deliveries and if it's worth the extra $? Obviously -
 I like the idea of getting "organic, pasteurized,
 non-homogenized, antibiotic & hormone-free" milk -
 delivered in glass bottles - but I'm wondering if
 anyone who has tried it, is satisfied...Thanks!!

 We use Mr. Moo and are very satisfied. We were not
 bothered by the extra cost because a: We were buying
 this already b: we needed to buy it twice a week for a
 long time since we could not store everything we needed
 in a week. Now Mr. Moo delivers 3 gallons of milk and
 this is what we use in week and I am thankful this
 thanksgiving for not carrying all that milk home from
 the store. I still have to carry it up 3 stories of
 stairs.

pack and plays

 I have 2.5-year-old boy/girl twins who have no interest in
 climbing out of anything...

 Hi - I know this isn't specifcally what you were
 looking for, but my 2.5 girls DID start climbing out of
 their pack-n-plays, so we bought these toddler size
 cots for them to use while we travel. We've used them
 several times now and have had good luck with them. 
 These are the ones we have, but I've seen other brands
 as well:

 just put extra blankets on top of them to make them a
 little more comfortable.They're collaspable and we were
 able to fit both of them in one of our larger suitcases
 for airline travel.

 My guys are exactly the same age and 75% for height and
 they also love sleeping in their cribs. We have no
 immediate plans to tranistion them to toddler or
 regular beds. Our last trip was in September and they
 each slept very comfortably in their pack and plays
 even though they are getting a little tight on space.
 Do your little ones curl up at all when they sleep?You
 might look into renting real cribs on the other end.
 Shelly Rivoli (the travel writer that spoke to the club
 last year) maintains an international directory of baby
 gear rental companies on her website-

 other product you might consider is the KidCo Peapod
 Plus. It's a small tent with an infatable matress.

 Hi,A lot of Tahoe rentals will advertise that they have
 a crib or other options for small children. When we
 went to Tahoe and our children were still in cribs but
 too big for pack & plays, we had 1 child sleep on a
 pull-out chair (smaller than a single mattress) with
 just the mattress on the floor. Could be an option for
 you to consider...check out the rentals and ask the
 owners.The other thing that we have found has worked
 well has been an inflatable mattress. The sides are
 curved up, so a child cannot roll out of it like one
 would in a regular mattress. This link below is not
 the exact one we have used since ours but it is very
 similar. Our twins have slept very well in them and no
 one ever rolled

 out.http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=537824&parentCategoryId=85184&categoryId=85218groupid=12135499;groupcategory=111;groupcategory=115;sz=728x90;fmzid=4524;dcove=r;ord=1322043511?"
