Parenting Index
Listed below is an alphabetical index of all my parenting and family fun posts.
Looking for something specific?
Try using the Find feature in your browser:
On a Mac
Hold down the command key and press the letter F.
On a PC
Hold down the control key and press the letter F.
Either method should give you a box where you’ll be able to type in a word (like potty or birthday). Click the “Find next” button, and your browser will show you all of the places on this page where you can find that word.
If you’re looking for a word within the text of a post (but not necessarily in the title), the “Search the archive…” box at the top will work better.

- Attention: Little Girls' Swimsuit Designers, Manufacturers, and SellersWho decided that sexy bathing suits were appropriate for small children? Would it be appropriate for little boys to wear revealing bikini suits? Of course not. So why are they being sold for little girls? Did anyone in the supply chain, from designer to manufacturer to store buyer to store manager pause to think about these bathing suits?

- Cheering Up A Sick Preschooler (Plus a $100 Giveaway)Does this look like a happy baby to you? Of course not. She was sick. She didn’t go to day care that day because she had a fever. The baby sitter was a little overzealous, however, and took her to the park, for a wagon ride, and out to the backyard to swing. Nice, huh?

- How To Spend the Day with Small Kids in Washington DCWe spent the whole day today in Washington, DC with our friends from Washington. All five of us had an amazing day. There's definitely an art to creating a fun day for a two-year-old, a three-year-old, and three nerdy adults in a place as enriching as Washington, DC. The only sour part of our day was driving home. Grace and I were sad that we won't be seeing Allie and her son, the Philosopher, again tomorrow. Such is life.
