My 4 year old has just started to read and he's really ready to move on from his work book, but all the books I have are too advanced. What's a good book (or books) for a very new reader to try?

What's with all the deletions?

GuateMom @GuateMom (1411) • Canada 29 Jul 10

I keep getting notices that a comment I left has been deleted because the discussion was deleted. It's driving me nuts! I'm not commenting on scammy stuff, so it seems a tad odd. Any insights?

Anyone heard of BlogRush for getting traffic to your blog?

GuateMom @GuateMom (1411) • Canada 15 Sep 07

It´s a pretty new system, I just heard about it from a IM guy. When I checked out the video, it all seemed to be a good idea, but I´m wondering if it isn´t a bit like those traffic toolbars. The difference here is that you get to...

Moms, trust your instincts.

GuateMom @GuateMom (1411) • Canada 11 Jul 07

I just had the scare of my life. My 19 month old son sleeps in a separate room and we usually leave a night light on so that we can see to change him when we go in at night, without turning on the main light. The night light...

GuateMom @GuateMom (1411) • Canada 10 Jul 07

My 19 month old has a LOT of tantrums, as in, every two or three minutes. Part of it is because he has a new baby brother and he is jealous, but no matter what I do to try and make him feel loved or keep him occupied, he just...
