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.

for when everyone comes back lol i have always always always been a 34D (except when preggers) so for me to be a 32C now i feel so tiny! and yes just like soon the only reason I am a C cup is because all of the loose stretched out skin needs some cupage lol actual breast tissue is prob a B cup!

soon2be3 - Wednesday, 29 Dec
LMAO!!!

monkeymamma - Wednesday, 29 Dec
soon..that's goes back to my theory that we should walk around hunched over...then I'd have a great C cup!! hahahahahahaha

soon2be3 - Wednesday, 29 Dec
I think C would be pretty average if you had normal boobies, but mine have nursed 3 children, so the only way they are C cup is when I gather them from around my waist and hoist them up into the bra cups. lol

monkeymamma - Wednesday, 29 Dec
I always thought a C was pretty good. Is that not average? I moved up to a B when I gained weight back and I was happy! haha

3girls2008 - Wednesday, 29 Dec
soon- i am right there with you! i am barely a 32c and thats only because of the loose skin factor! they are so wrinkley and gross...

soon2be3 - Wednesday, 29 Dec
Oh, and I am also having surgery on the 14th! Not nearly as involved as yours, I'm just having my vericose veins lazered shut.

soon2be3 - Wednesday, 29 Dec
Mommy, I would be really depressed too. I am sure it will be a huge shock at first. I know this is nothing similiar, but when I lost a lot of weight after having Jake, I was really shocked at how much my boobies shrunk. I went from 38D to 34C. I honestly don't even know if I was that big at the time because they looked so horrible, hence the reason I came up with the name 'deflated fat sacks.' It took me several months to get use to it and feel ok with them. So, this will for sure be difficult...just remember that you can come on here or FB and complain, cry or rant away. No one is going to discount how emotionally involved this process will be for you.

3girls2008 - Wednesday, 29 Dec
mommy- hopefully just taking the time to heal properly will help the time go fast! then you will get really really pretty boobies!

monkeymamma - Wednesday, 29 Dec
mommy....that's not that far away. Glad it's 'going away' soon.

monkeymamma - Wednesday, 29 Dec
heather......I have the urge to clean my house until I get home. Then I'm too pooped to care! It's gotta change soon!

mommyof2soon - Wednesday, 29 Dec
so we finally got the date for my mastectomies. Jan 14th. I'm ready to have the cancer out but I hate that I won't have reconstruction surgery until many months later! I have a feeling I will be very depressed.

heathert - Wednesday, 29 Dec

soon2be3 - Wednesday, 29 Dec
Poor CM! Heather! Great to hear from you! Sounds like your kiddos had a great Christmas. Ours was nice too. The kids got a puppy. Grace rated this gift higher than getting to go to Disneyland! lol

monkeymamma - Wednesday, 29 Dec

monkeymamma - Wednesday, 29 Dec
Colombian just got to work about an hour ago after dealing with around 3 hrs of traffic due to stupid drivers.

monkeymamma - Wednesday, 29 Dec
OK..this green goo has got to go away! Everything's cloudy in my right eye

heathert - Wednesday, 29 Dec
mm- am I reading right? You are planning on a baby?? YAY!.. Ok I am going to post a poll which has been posted several times but I am having my friends baby shower on teh 7th and need some ideas! We are doing the m&ms in the bottle, the guess how big with a string, and 30 seconds to look at baby items and write down what you remember. I might do the animal game where you have animals and have to write down the baby name for it like horse- foul. SO any other ideas would be great! I need to find a punch bowl. Ok sorry to go on and on here. Hope everyone is good!
