Is this Childrens book CREEPY or just cute? In The Night Kitchen is definitely a weird story for children but is it too much for youngsters?

I think its great that he climbs and shows such great balance, grip and obstacle negotiation skills, but some of the things he climbs on are dangerous for a kid his age.

Does anyone know of a travel website that has recommendations of places to rent for vacation that are kid-friendly? We are currently looking for a place in Lake Tahoe, CA and I can't find anything that specializes in "kid-friendly" (ideally somewhat childproofed) rentals (homes or condos). I am also looking for something in Kauai. Does anyone know of a website that can help?

My son has yet another runny nose. He has gone through about 3 colds/runny noses this winter season. It seems that when he gets better his nose starts running again. Does anyone have any suggestions on what we can do to kick this?

At what age do you transition your child from a crib to a toddler bed? My son has shown no signs of wanting to climb out of the crib yet but we are wondering if you know the age when you transitioned your little one.

Does anyone have any suggestions on educational DVD's to watch? I do not want my son watching too much TV but I find that maybe 15 - 30 minutes would be ok so I can get some things done around the house.

I have had a hard time transitioning my 15 month old son to one nap a day. He is going to sleep around 11 - 11:30 and sleeping until 2 - 2:30 and then I find him rubbing his eyes aroung 5:00. I do not want to put him down that late for a second nap because he will not go to bed at his normal 8 - 8:30 time. Does anyone have any suggestions on to make this transition smoother?

How do I brush my son's teeth? He is 14 months old. He likes the toothbrush and puts it in his mouth and chews on it- but there is no real brushing with him as hard as I try.

I am in the market to buy a Jogging Stroller. I have read good reviews for the Bob stroller although I am not sure I want to spend that much money. Can anyone recommend a good jogger for around $150 - $175?

My boy loves the bath, always has. But recently he has taken to filling up a small toy cup (that we usually use to dump water on him and wash the soap off) with water and imitating mom & dad by tipping it back and drinking it.

My 18 month old daughter will not sit still long. She hates being in her car seat for more than 20 minutes or so. I have a long trip coming up with her, and I need to keep her entertained.
