  1. The wound care specialist I work with recommends no sting barrier wipes. It creates a sort of second skin- keeping it sealed from the air which greatly decreases pain & allows the skin to heal. I’ve seen it work wonders on some nasty skin breakdown. It usually lasts a day or 2 and then re- apply. I still use on my kids for turf bur from soccer and cuts and scrapes.

  2. I'm still plugging away - my DH decided to "help" clean - well he moved about 47 objects out the storage area of basement into the den - argh!! :banghead:

    I am focusing on the main level and upstairs since the basement is a disaster right now.

    The routines are coming along pretty well.  I am hoping cleaning won't feel like such a constant in a few weeks.

  3. I'm here.

    I downloaded the app to my phone today so I have easier access to the daily tasks.  

    I am feeling better about keeping up with the daily flow of life but would like to really knock out the daily tasks and get to the detailed cleaning.  I am also trying to help get the kids more independent in cleaning up after themselves (it is always faster if I just do it, but I am determined they start routinely put away whatever they get out).

     

    Completed

    2 loads of laundry finished and put away

    Sink shiny and kitchen tidy

    Bathroom cleaned

    Pile of papers on table cleaned up and dealt with

     

    See ya tomorrow

     

  4. I would also wait and talk with your primary doctor.  I have 2 who have always been small but healthy, no GI issues, and thriving with development.  At 10 they are still thin but fine (they wear clothes in size 5-6).  My doctor would talk about it but decided to wait and watch.  

    I'm a pediatric PT so work with kids with all sorts of medical issues. It seems many doctors get worked up about kiddos on the small end, but somebody has to be on bottom of the curve :)

  5. It would cross my mind if the bruising was in unusual places.

    I'm another one who was always a little worried for pediatrician visits due to my kiddos being covered with bruises - they have parcoured their way through life since they could move - pretty surprised only 2 episodes requiring stitches - same kid - on his face - he was asked at least 5 times what happened while in the ER.

  6. I think 5-6 grade is when you will see enormous variations in size for girls.

    I was the shortest kid in school though 9th grade but was a very scrappy basketball player - I went on to be 5'8 and played in college on a scholarship.

    Encourage her to stick with it - help her to understand how valuable she can be to her team (passing, organizing the offense, aggressive defense, etc) even is she is rarely able to get off a shot due to being surrounded by the tall trees!

    My DD is tiny - shortest kid by far on her team - made a 5th grade travel team as a 4th grader - she is still trying to embrace the being valuable part without being able to score much.  She is feisty and fun to watch.

  7. Bought them for my twins. They got the most use at home when big brother would pretend to be Santa and the twins were his reindeer and they ran all over the house having a blast! That game lasted for years :)

     

    I use a leash for my dog because I love him and want him to be safe- same for the kiddos!!
