 Hi!Can anyone recommend a night nanny? We have twin
 boys who are six weeks old and need someone 2 to 3
 nights a week. Thanks!Don and Brandon Howard-Miller

 Kaye Jarrett is great. We've kept her way past the
 initial contract term because she was so awesome with
 us and the kids. (kaye_jarrett at hotmail.com)

3. Childcare for 3 kids
--------------------------------------------------------
meganrc - 3/9/2013 7:04 am

 We have an almost 3 year old and 4 month old twins and
 are trying to sort out the childcare issue. I would
 love advice on a few things. If a nanny is only
 watching all three from time to time (say 6-10 pm) do
 you increase rate? They are all asleep by 7:30/8. And
 what do you do in case of emergencies / backup plan for
 all three? I'd love opinions on urban sittter or
 wondersitter. We've never used either. Is there any one
 that can be called last minute?Thank you!Megan

 Wondering what experiences anyone has had with the
 Stokke Tripp Trapp high chairs. We're considering
 getting them for our twins (with the harness) since
 they seem to "grow" with the babies. Do your kids like
 them? What issues do you have with them? Would you buy
 them again?

 we love ours that we used for our almost 3 year old.
 The belt/buckle could be a little more comfortable, but
 we bought first one used, and a second one new for the
 twins. 3 yo used it to climb up into cabinets to get
 chocolate however :-)

 I'm pasting this from a comment I made on an earlier
 post/question about highchairs about a month ago: "We
 LOVE the Stokke... now that the kids are almost 3 years
 old. We couldn't use them for about 18 months for a
 variety of reasons. First, we took them away and found
 a different solution because having babies/toddlers at
 the dining room table isn't as great as it seems (they
 smear food all over, and BANG their utensils, and we
 have a very nice antique table that was getting
 destroyed. You'd need to purchase the Stokke tray
 accessory to avoid this, and I'd already spent enough
 on Stokke things at that point!) Then we tried again
 and had to take them away again because at 14 months
 (or so) they started tipping backwards in them. (I urge
 you to youtube "stokke high chair dangerous" for an
 example of what I'm talking about. I caught my daughter
 just inches before hitting the ground once - so into
 the garage they went. And yes, we were using the "fix"
 leg extenders the company had made so this wasn't
 supposed to happen.) All that said, now we LOVE them,
 and we'll have several more years of using them. Also,
 I had two friends with Stokke who didn't have the
 tipping children problem that I did, so it's a matter
 of whether or not your child thinks to put their feet
 up and push back during the window of time that their
 legs are short enough to do it. Good luck!"

 well...I booked the tickets. I unfortunately am flying
 United (only direct airline from SFO) but I got two
 tickets, and paid the extra for the 5 extra inches of
 legroom or whatever, but mostly because I was able to
 get seats in the front two rows. My husband is allowed
 to help me get through security with a special pass
 that I get when checking in. But he can't enter the
 plane, so that's when I'm guessing it will get harder.
 Diaper changes on my lap?? I will update this thread
 when (IF!) I land alive :-)
