  Arcain, my DS (11 months) is wonderful at drop off.  He loves his teacher and the other kids so he happily waves bye to me each morning.  But pick-up is a struggle every day.  He goes to my mom's hous more »

  Another tip, when completing your registry with the coupon I found other items that weren't on my registry that I wanted to buy.  BBB let me use one of the registry guns and add items to my registry a more »

  Thanks Arcain.  He's definitely crawling and cruising all over the place so that could be part of it.  He did grow an inch and a half so I guess he's just thinning out.  I probably just need to relax more »
