1. Second year of preschool: how many days?
--------------------------------------------------------
kdrichman - 2/13/2012 8:57 pm

 Our 3 yr old girls are so far loving their first year
 of preschool on a MWF 8:30-12:30 schedule. We are
 trying to figure out whether to keep this schedule next
 year or bump them up to 5 days a week. Downside of 5
 days a week is that our wonderful PT nanny would likely
 have to look for another job as she can't really do
 with less hours than she's currently getting. Up side
 is they really like school and it prepares them for
 pre-K the following year. Wondering what other parents
 who started their kids on 3 days a week did during the
 second year of preschool (kids turning 4). Any input is
 much appreciated!Kimmom of Emily and Layla

 OxiClean. We used it in the early days for spit up
 stains, and now for dirt, grass, berry... you name it.

 If it's breast milk, sunlight always does the trick
 (for spit up and poop stains). I'm not sure if it also
 works for for formula or solids. Good luck!

 I second the oxyclean. I also use shout (I keep the
 spray near where I change the clothes and squirt
 stains). I also use the Kirkland Free laundry detergent
 for all clothes (too much effort to do babies
 separate...besides we're always holding them next to
 our clothes right?). Everybody's skin seems fine.

 We used this one. It stood up to two babies hanging off
 of it fairly well and was easy to take down at night
 when they went to

 We've used this one and have never had a problem. We
 like the metal and vertical bars so babies can't climb
 out. And THEY WILL start climbing before you know it!

 We really like our metal KidCo safety gate... it comes
 in sections so it's really configurable to lots of
 different situations and set-ups, and has a gate piece
 that you can put wherever you need. We have a weird
 situation with stairs in our place, and it's been
 perfect for us - we actually just zip-tied it (ours is
 black) to the black iron railings, and it sorta even
 looks like it belongs there. They're a bit pricey
 new, but they show up on Craig's List all the time, and
 are nearly impossible to wear out. I think they come 6
 sections to a set (1 being the gate), and they're very
 multi-purpose - perfect for changing as your kids grow.
 Ours went from corraling them, to cordoning off our
 stereo stuff. We even traveled with some pieces, to
 set up around a Xmas tree. LOVE them! (Only thing to
 be mindful of is the threshold across the bottom of the
 gate piece - can be a bit of a tripping hazard for
 first-time users.) The gate is easy for an adult to
 use one-handed, but pretty much impossible for a kid.

 This one isn't twin or toddler specific, but I've found
 that Raising Your Spirited Child is great in
 understanding just the *intensity* and other
 characteristics that I'm having to learn to manage with
 my twin toddler boys. They also have chapters in
 persistence, sensitivity and other stuff like that. I
 can't wait to hear what else others recommend.Kristen
