Great article! Maybe I missed something, but how do you actually go about unraveling the sweater?

Dinner Discussions 2007 Week 2 - Blog Entry

LOL. My kids' (5 & 4) primary teacher (they have the same one) asked if CTR meant "children throwing rocks", so now my kids go back and forth between the two meanings!

I also nurse, and wound up nursing him through the end of Sacrament, I think, and then again right after church. I didn't actually consider the germ aspects, although we were called in the summer, so he was nearly a year by the time winter and colds came around. Then, too, with the constant absences from his siblings, I would keep him home some of the time. Also, we had a strict "no fever, sneezes, or runny nose" policy because we had several kids in there with health problems at the same time.

Since his birthday is in February, he'll spend more time in senior nursery (we've already gone through this with my eldest son, born in January); he'll have been in nursery from 6 months to 46 months (just before his 4th birthday). The up side is that, when we were released while he was 17 mos, the other nursery teachers told us not to bother pulling him out, and we had absolutely NO problems with him going into nursery, unlike our first two.

You are quite right. One would do well to ask themselves how Christ would handle the situation and proceed from there!

Playing Inside A Parked Car - Blog Entry

No stories, just a caution. Hyperthermia isn't the only car-related death kids suffer from. Also high on the list is kids playing unsupervised in parked kids. Check out www.kidsincars.org for the statistics, especially Harrison's story, where two kids playing in a parked car at a park hit a mother and killed her two year old son. KEEP YOUR CAR DOORS LOCKED WHEN YOU ARE NOT DRIVING IT, especially if you have a curious toddler.

We were called to nursery at the same time my sons were in there (actually, our newborn was 6 mos when we were called). Through the winter, one of us was always saying home! ARGH! Since most of ours were runny noses (and the Primary Pres. had explicitely requested no runny noses; no allergies here that we could tell), we got in the habit of going to sacrament, sitting either in the back or in the lobby (ie away from other kids), and then the homegoer would leave and the other would stay.
