Well, I just have a little peanut. But I've signed us up for mommy and me swimming. She loves the pool, so I figure it's a good way to spend time and have fun while getting some exercise. Joining my local Y only cost around 40/month and everyone has things to do.

I am a first time mom and I have no idea how I can interact with my six week old son. Everyone I talk to keeps telling me the same thing "He will only eat and sleep...you don't need to interact." That can't be true - there has to be more I can do with my son. I need help! Please provide some...

I don't know what it is about video games. When I let them play games they turn bad. I can keep them away from the games for a few days and they get better. I try to let them only play on the weekends now.

It's free and they love it! The librarian reads three stories, within the same theme, then hey do a craft following that theme. In our local libraries you have to sign on so that they have a count for the craft supplies. I signed up for every Tuesday (4 Tuesdays), which is great 'cause they are...

Today we went apple picking and go the girls their big fall pumpkins. I will carve it with them and allow them to dig out the seeds themselves...At 2 years old that sure sounds like an outdoor activity to me ;) . I also picked up 3 of those tiny pumpkins you can hold in the palm of your hand...

I've been on FT for a few years now and hadn't found this board. My triplets (g/b/g) just turned 3 and I could really use ideas to keep them from just randomly bouncing off the walls, especially as the colder weather will soon be here. I did try their first 'game' and now DD asks to play it...

I have a 5 year old, 3 year old and a 2 year old that would be participating. What would be a good activity that all three could do? TIA

Hi All! :) :) :) My three boys are getting tired of the small indoor pool at the YMCA and we'll soon be heading to the public pool when it opens. BUT! I remember last year my kids complaining that the water's too cold after about 45 minutes - even when it's 85 degrees out! (...they...

Lots of snow in the northeast today! So cute when DH went to shovel and I looked at DD- age 2- and she had her hat and gloves on. No way was I going out in that cold blizzard so I brought the snow in for her. Dumped a few buckets in the sink, brought over a chair and let her play in the snow with...

I just took graham crackers and let them put chocolate frosting on them and stick on some of those candy hearts. They are 3-1/2 so I let them use a small plastic knife, sitting at the kitchen table of course. They loved it! :) L did end up just eating the frosting at the end though....

To say I think this is an awsome Idea! I can't waitt to see what people post. thois afternoon it is the high 60's (68-70) and the kids have there Toys outside. Benjamin is paying with his castle and horses and super heros and Jillian is having a lemonade party for her stuffed animals!
