Many children will enrol in some kind of preschool around this age in their life. When choosing a preschool for your child, ask questions beforehand to ensure a good fit. There are many different kinds of preschool. Some schools meet all day, every day. Others meet two, three, four or even five days a week-half day or full day. Find out what your child will be learning. Will they be playing all day long or are there actual structured preschool lessons provided? Plan to visit the preschool before you enrol your child and see what goes on in the classroom at various times throughout the day. Do the teachers seem to genuinely care about the children in their care? How do the other children respond to the teachers and each other? Is the classroom fun, bright and welcoming? Look at the toys and see if they are in good shape and proper for your child to play with.

Make sure that your child is current on all immunizations. State laws require children to be up to date on vaccinations before entering into any type of child care center, preschool or even kindergarten. If your child does not have the necessary vaccinations, call your child's doctor to schedule them. Vaccinations protect your child and other people from getting serious diseases that once killed many people.

Children need to learn how to solve problems early on. By others teaching us how to do things, we have learned how to solve problems, keep problems from arising and fix things when they are broken. Help your child learn how to solve problems and fix things. The way that they will be able to do these types of things as an adult is influenced by how well they were taught as a small child.

Around this time in your child's life, you might notice that he is resistant to affection. Your once cuddly and loveable toddler does not want to be hugged and kissed anymore. Try not to take it personally and never force your child to accept your affection or hug/kiss you. It is not that your child is rejecting you, or your love, he is rejecting having his physical freedom limited. Continue to offer your child hugs and kisses.

Many children get frustrated when they are doing something difficult. Often times, kids take on much more than they can physically or mentally handle. Allowing your child to have some frustration and work through it, is a way to help her gain self esteem and develop problem solving skills. However, if you notice that your child is in distress, you can help her figure out a solution to her problem. Select her toys properly and keep in mind what she is capable of doing. By providing a can-do environment, you can help your child eliminate frustration. Provide a step stool for your child to wash her hands or brush her teeth. Buy your child Velcro sneakers so that she can close them on her own, rather than tripping on the shoelaces. Do not add to his frustration by criticizing him when he fails or expecting things that are not realistic. If your child wants to try again, let him. However, when he wants to quit, let him.

happymommee2kj - Thursday, 30 Dec
I finally updated my profile pic. It only took me about a year to do it. THe pic is from Oct but it's one of my faves.

happymommee2kj - Thursday, 30 Dec
I'm glad to have an understanding group of ladies to complain to. lol

happymommee2kj - Thursday, 30 Dec
lol thank you.

mommyof2soon - Thursday, 30 Dec
oh it's fine, we all want to have nice perky unstretched marked boobies! You are still allowed to complain! :)

happymommee2kj - Thursday, 30 Dec
I guess that sounds vain though compared to what your going through mommyof2.

happymommee2kj - Thursday, 30 Dec
I'm still a 34b like I was before pregnancy they are just saggier and loaded with stretchmarks.

mommyof2soon - Thursday, 30 Dec
Mine right now are between a 36 DD/DDD. I think the smallest they have been was DD when I lost 20lbs. When I was pregnant I couldn't even find bras big enough. It will be such a shock going from that to nothing. but i'm sure it will be great after reconstruction going from nothing to a c.

happymommee2kj - Thursday, 30 Dec
Ugh my bbs to a hit after just one baby. I want more but it scares me what just one did to my body.

happymommee2kj - Thursday, 30 Dec
Hi ladies!

heathert - Thursday, 30 Dec
soon- It was supposed to be a full C but its more a 32-34 D. Its been 4 years and I still cant sleep without a bra or go without because it bugs me. They are not real high like to my chin because I was able to go above the muscle (which many people wont do) so they hang more natural.

soon2be3 - Thursday, 30 Dec
Heather, when you had you boobie job, what size did you get enlarged to?

monkeymamma - Thursday, 30 Dec
I'm trying! We've had back to back people coming in. I haven't even been able to talk with him about it.

3girls2008 - Thursday, 30 Dec

monkeymamma - Thursday, 30 Dec
This crapy weather isn't helping my dismal mood. It looks like it's going to rain and it's kinda windy.

heathert - Thursday, 30 Dec
I also always thought a c cup was big! I was a A cup before surgery. Never even grew when pregnant.

heathert - Thursday, 30 Dec

monkeymamma - Thursday, 30 Dec
I have no eye makeup on with very puffy eyes....not a good look

colombianmama - Thursday, 30 Dec
Time for me to go, it's icy outside and I need to take extra time driving to work. Have a good day!

colombianmama - Thursday, 30 Dec
Oh no, that sucks, I hope the rest today helps. Take care and get better!

monkeymamma - Thursday, 30 Dec
My cold came back with the eye stuff. My right eye was closed shut when I got up, then red and now just puffy and gooey. I'm at work to finish up some things then going home.

colombianmama - Thursday, 30 Dec
