NuMoms Network Ed. 3, 08-2006

Hello NuMoms,

Well, it's that time again.  To some of us that have older children in the house, it is Back To School time.  I hope you all had a wonderful (short) Summer this year.  It may not have been short to you, but it seemed really short to me.

Anyway, on to my Mommie Questions:

1. When should you move your toddler to a real bed (or toddler bed) from the crib?  I have been battling with this one lately, and I need some guidance from my Mommies out there.
2. I have a thumb sucker.  We have tried jalapenos and Tabasco sauce.  She likes Hot stuff is what we have figured out after using those two items.  We are now onto this stuff made by Thum for thumb sucking and nail biting.  She just avoids the thumb for about 1 hour, and goes right back to sucking (too smart for her own britches).  Please give me a Down Home Remedy for thumb sucking please.

I am going to have some somewhat gently used baby toys available for anyone that wants them.  Just let me know, and I will work something out on transporting these toys to you.  They are floor toys: LeapPad Table, Farm play area, etc.

I am happy to tell you that one of our Mommies has been in Japan for a pretty long time in the Army, and she is now coming home.  Welcome Home Toni (and Ben & Lily)!

Thanks to those that sent me pix of your blessings!  I am about to start Aaliyah's baby tree in August.  I need your blessing's full name, parents' names, and birthday.  Here is a list of the pix that I have now:

• Ajemian Naurice Beckworth
• Caleb John Dwayne Lathan
• Caleb De'Shawn Darthard
• Lily Brinker
• Ryan Jevon White

I am proud to say that I will be turning 33 next week!!!!!!!  August 1st is my day!  Let me know your birthdays please (you can respond just to me with that information AND you can leave off the year if you like).  I would love to be able to send you an e-card on your day.  Especially since your blessings have taken over your life.  My inbox has more Aaliyah stuff in it than for me.

That is all from me for now.  If you would like to stop receiving these e-mails, please let me know and I will remove you from the NuMoms Network (with no hard feelings).
