| Pregnancy & Parenting | How did you keep your child in their own bed? | Apr 25 2008 20:08 (UTC) |
9 |
I moved my son from crib to bed when he was around 2 years also - he is now 8. I have always believed that toys have no place in the bedroom, and I used the childproof knob on the inside. I had a baby monitor so I could hear if there was some real reason he needed out of his room. His room was also pitch black at that point. He would stay up for over an hour sometimes entertaining himself in his room in the dark with no toys - it was really funny to listen to him! Because I was determined to not allow it to be a fight - it just never was. Bedtime is bedtime - and unless he could give me a real reason for a discussion, there just wasn't one! It worked really well for him - I will let you know in a few years if it works as well with my daughter (5 mths)! |

| Foods | Protein Shake for Breakfast? | Apr 18 2008 17:22 (UTC) |

My husband and I have a protein shake every morning for breakfast - and we love it! But I make ours with 1 cup skim milk, 1 sugar free, fat free fruit yogurt, 1/2 cup frozen blueberries, 1 scoop protein powder, and a serving of fibre (I use Metamucil - my husband prefers without the fibre). I blend it all together, and its a great start to my day and takes next to no time to prepare or drink - and with my husband running out the door, an 8 year old to get ready for school, and in infant to look after I need to have the fastest breakfast possible otherwise I won't have one at all! My personal trainer actually suggested it as a great well rounded start to the day! I say if it works for you - go for it! |
