Hi,I've been contacted by Amy Crawford at the SF
Examiner. She's doing a story that is due to run this
week on families who experienced issues getting their
twins placed in the same school last fall. I offered to
count up the number of families in our club who fell
into this situation. And, if you have time, perhaps,
you can also add how your situation was resolved, e.g.
both got in before/after school started, decided to
wait another year, or decided to go to an independent
school instead.This is time sensitive so if you can
please get back to me by no today or tomorrow at the
latest, I can forward it to Amy.Thanks!

BASEMENTYelling can be caused by stress, fatigue,
depression, anger, or other reasons. Most parents agree
that yelling isn't beneficial, but many report that
they just don't know what to do when their children
misbehave. We will discuss how to come up with a plan
and learn more about what triggers your yelling.Rona

We also are using cloth diapers from Tiny Tots. Great
service, really smart support staff, and the cost does
actually break in favor of cloth over
disposables.Buy/Craigslist more diaper covers than you
think you will need - they do require washing and you
have to air dry them. But the ease of diapering, the
absence of diaper rash, and the knowledge of reducing
your carbon footprint is well worth the effort. The
indirect costs of the disposable diaper industry are
staggering! We'd be happy to share our setup with you,
contact me or Natasha offline.

Does anyone have experience (positive or negative) with
switching to cloth diapers at around 1 year of age? We
decided not to do cloth in the beginning b/c of the #
of changes in a newborn and other aspects to our care
situation, but I've always been interested in cloth . .

I highly recommend Melitta Hoder. Although I breastfed
my older son, bf'ing twins was a whole new experience.
She was very knowledgeable and taught me so much. She
was also great at identifying my needs in those early
days, and making sure I got the rest and nutrition and
support I needed. I could go on, but it's late, and I'm
tired!! Feel free to contact me if you'd like more
info. Melitta can be reached at MelittaHoder@aol.com.
Good luck.
