Weaning For Bottle or Breast
As you may know, I also write occasionally for Your Celeb Source. A lot of talk has been going around about Suri Cruise still drinking from a bottle on various news sites so I wrote about it.
Both my boys self weaned before they turned two, one at around a year old and the other around 18 months. I admit that I never put much thought into weaning because it came naturally for us.
But, does it come naturally to all children? I haven’t met a child yet that doesn’t have a natural understanding of themselves. As parents, our job is to help guide the child as they grow and learn.
We began providing sippy cups to our boys around 9 months old as an alternative to the breast or bottle. Sometimes they would choose the sippy cup, sometimes the breast or bottle. As they got older, they choose the sippy cup more and more.
What do you think about weaning from the bottle or breast?
Boy Suspended For Having Long Hair
Meet Taylor Pugh.
He is 4 years old.
A suburban Dallas school district has suspended a 4-year-old from his prekindergarten class because he wears his hair too long and does not want his parents to cut it.
What? Yes, you read that right. A school district suspended a 4 year old because of the length of his hair.
School officials say the district’s dress code serves to limit distractions in the classroom.
I do not understand the correlation between hair length and education. If having long hair is distracting the classroom, does it really matter if the body under the hair is male or female?
The district states that a strict dress code “is a vital step toward furthering excellence and better preparing our students for college, careers, and life as adults.” I have never, not once, been subjected to a dress code this strict so how does this prepare them for life as an adult? Do some adults have a dress code this strict? Of course but the real question is how many adults have a dress code this strict?
I’ve read a few comments on various articles stating hair is hair and the parents should just cut his hair because his education is more important. I can’t imagine having to tell my children, who absolutely love their long hair, that they must cut their hair because someone doesn’t like it.

Baby falls onto railway tracks in front of train… and survives!
Mom finds her baby alone, locked inside daycare
The baby’s mother, Julia Castillo, says she came to pick up her son Monday at the My Special Place Early Learning Center in Johnston, only to find the center locked and no one around. A neighbor heard her yelling and banging on the door and helped her get inside, where she found her baby boy crying in a crib.
I can only imagine what was going through the mother’s mind when she realized the facility was closed. I don’t know how a facility can care for a child all day and then forget that the child was in the building when they close for the day. I hope the facility changes their policies and does a complete check of the building prior to closing up for the night.

Article: “Why don’t friends with kids have time?”
This was posted in a local group that I’m involved and after reading, I thought I’d share it will all. A person without children asks “Why don’t friends with kids have time?” This person feels that her friends with kids are “either lying or competing” with her and she wants to know which one is the case. It is quite obvious that the writer of the column understands having children because she either has kids or has observed someone with kids.
