OK....so ju st in case you are looking or thinking to buy
these 'safer' GLASS bottles but are concerned with breakage here is some food
for thought....
Go ECONOMY - and just buy the Evenflo glass bottles...be
sure the get the ones with silicone nipple. Some stores still sell the
ones with the rubber nipple until the supply runs out. You can get SIX
bottles for about $10. That is CHEAP!

I"m trying a different font for my friend, michelle, who can't read my blogs cause of some computer thing that i don't understand. So, don't be freaked out by this crazy arial font. I just had to show you all this picture of josie on her bar/rings on the jungle gym. She is quite the gymnast & i'm thinking we should've just kept sending her to gymnastics instead of trying tee ball.  Her third tee ball practice is tonight & so far she hasn't moved from the bench. She just will not participate. We can't force her, especially when she's so scared about it. My mom & i agree that i would've been the same way when i was that age. I know she'll grow out of it, but sometimes it's a little frustrating. If anyone out there has any suggestions to boost her confidence in groups, reduce her anxiety, anything, i'd love to hear. She's just a completely different girl at home. Then when she's in a group, she just freezes up.
Uh-oh, jakob's tv show is over, so it's time to go play some thomas the tank engine. Woo-hoo!

 Josie has had a boyfriend at school all year. Recently, he started to actually notice her. Since the first day of school, tommy has been josie's "boyfriend". She talked about him endlessly:. his red hair, his freckles, what he did at recess, how many graham crackers he ate at snack time, etc. She was a little obsessed. She played with him a lot in the beginning of the school year .. or played next to him and looked at him. Josie doesn't talk much at school. Eventually he started playing with other kids & josie played with some girls. A few weeks ago we found out that tommy was on josie's t-ball team. Oy! Josie was SO excited that her boyfriend was on his team (she actually calls him that, too).

I wanted to share my story of Jakob's expanding

I'm a tree hugger and proud of it. My dad is, too, though I doubt he'd admit it. He's more of an undercover tree hugger. While growing up, my dad took us on long walks through the woods, nurturing my love for the Earth. He could identify trees and flowers, muddy animal tracks and birds by their songs. It amazed me then and his knowledge still amazes me today. I can identify some tracks and a few easy trees but just don't have an ear for bird songs. Maybe my kids will be blessed with that gift.
A love for the Earth and nature is important to me. Even more important is passing this love on to my kids. We spend lots of time outside looking at bugs, listening to birds and watching our big maple trees swaying in the wind. We're lucky to live on a half acre lot with mature trees, wildlife and lots of different bugs.
As Earth Day approaches (April 22) why not introduce your kids (and maybe even yourself) to nature. We have at least five nature preserves or

All babies cry. This is a fact of life. However, some babies take it to the extreme. Doctors call this colic, I call it hell. Colic is diagnosed with a "3" pattern. If a baby cries more than 3 hours a day, 3 days a week, for at least 3 weeks in a row, it's colic. As a survivor of two colicky babies, I empathize with anyone suffering through this stage.
The big question of what causes colic is unknown. Experts suggest a variety of things, including an immature digestive system, allergies, overstimulation, or the temperament of the baby. Regardless of the cause, it's frustrating when your baby cries constantly.
My son had a bad case of colic. Really bad. So bad, in fact, it wasn't unusual for my husband to find me, my son and my 2 1/2 year old daughter, all sitting on the couch crying when he got home from work.

 Have fun with your kids this St. Patrick's Day (March 17). Surprise them with a fun Irish accent when they wake up in the morning. Serve that with some green shamrock-shaped pancakes. If you're not quite so kitchen-savvy (like me) serve Lucky Charms with green milk, can't get more Irish that that!
For lunch, make shamrock-shaped pb&j sandwiches. Just don't serve the kids green bologna -- that sounds gross! In the afternoon, get out the green play-doh & have some fun. If crafts are your thing, make some lucky shamrocks to hang in the window (or give to Grandma & Grandpa).
