YCCII's Profile

We've been reading Lyle, Lyle Crocodile lately and it's become a fast favorite. I also second The Incredible Book Eating Boy, and remember Tasha Tudor from my own childhood. Great choices from two lovely ladies!

Hey, I remember her! Precious girl. Good to see you here.

Looks lovely Josh! Congrats.

I actually love this: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50107744

Most people seem to be going the more subdued direction, but with a frog bed I say keep it fun!

For birthday parties, how about something on the invitation like "Please no presents, just your presence!" Is that totally corny?

I wouldn't get it because I'm sure it's impossible to fold in the trunk of a car, especially when wrangling two toddlers. I love my citymini double! If all I needed it for was to stroll around though, I'm sure I would love it.

I would have called it the Dragonfly I think, but I also like Iguana, Eagle, Hawk, and Falcon. Donkeys really aren't very glamorous, are they? Not to mention it's politically charged. ;-)

k1ate-- the building blocks are larger than Duplo blocks (Legos's toddler version) and would not match up. They are softer than Duplos though do good for a baby who's still teething but wants to put things together.

The dump truck and the tool set are some of my favorites from this line.

VERY COOL! I grew up going to Toy Joy and am so pleased to see it's still around. Used to BEG my parents to go there, though I didn't really have to-- it's as much a toy store for adults as it is for children.

I'm very saddened that no other hospital in NYC is willing to back midwives so that their clients can have natural unmedicated births.

However, the fact that home births are now illegal may not be a completely bad thing.

I personally know of THREE home births that ended in the passing of the baby, and that's three too many for me. Not fear mongering, just passing along first hand information.

My two hospital births were completely natural and drug free. I appreciated having the medical facilities on hand just in case.

I do think that the C-section rate in this country is abominable and that there ought to be more effort to deliver babies both vaginally and without the help of medicine.

I believe in a woman's right to choose their own birth experience and used to very much support home birth. Sadly, three infant deaths of was enough for me.

On my baby name site, You Can't Call It "It"!, we are always drumming up new stylish ideas for parents to be.

We scour birth announcements and international stats, and help couples come to a compromise on the perfect name.
