Board Game Suggestions for 3 Year Old / Preschooler

Looking for more fun games to play with my 3 year old. We already have Bingo, Memory, Matching Game, Fishing Game, and Hungry Hippos. Are there any other games out there that are fun for both parents and kids? It's such a good way for us to spend time together as a family, especially since it's a calm activity before bedtime! Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Transitioning to a Bed

My just turned 3 year old son has been sleeping in a crib since he was a baby. He used to sleep great in his crib. A week ago we trasitioned him to a car bed(one of those low lying beds with 4 tires and having the frame of a car). The first night(on 2/13) he went into the bed he threw up all over it about 2 hours into sleeping. 6 days later(2/19), he threw up again all over his bed. Each time, he coughed and looked nauseous just before he threw up. Yesterday night he started coughing but I went into his room and held him before he...

My 3 Year Old Doesn't Sleep

Please help, I'm so frustrated, I just want to cry. My 3 year old doesn't seem to sleep more than 8-9 hours in a 24 hour period. Aren't kids this age supposed to get 11-12 hours of sleep in a day? She's been out of her crib for two months, and she started preschool earlier this week. Our bedtime routine is a nightmare (for me), and it has been for a while, not just recently. I start with the end of her TV show at 8:15, then it's brushing her teeth, which usually takes 15 minutes to half an hour because she doesn't want to cooperate,...

Night Terrors and Irrational Fears

Hi Mama's, you all have been a great help in the past and I am again seeking your advice. My Son just turned three and has always been a great sleeper (NEVER up more than once a night unless he is sick). Recently he has been getting terrified of things in his room at night time. Shaddows freak him out and we had to remove some toys that frightened him in the dark. Also he has been experiencing night terrors (I think). He will "wake up" screaming and crying hysterically unable to answer questions or calm down. He does not seem to be awake...

Revising Nursery Rhymes

Some feedback to a recent question brought up the topic of "black sheep". I've come to learn that the classic- "ba ba black sheep" is now sometimes revised to "ba ba rainbow sheep?" If so, why? Also, one of our kid's fisher price toys, sings "Jack and Jill went up the hill to see their favorite colors, the grass was green, the sky was blue, the shiny sun was yellow". What's wrong with fetching a pail or water? Hubs, is rather old fashioned, and prefers we use the classic versions. Me, I'm nostalgic for the classic version, but if,...

Blankie and Thumb Sucking

I am seven months pregnant and my youngest is just about to turn three. She has a special blankie that she sleeps with and sucks her thumb with. Our pediatrician said that around three is when we should deal with the issue. I think we waited too long. Also, my concern is that if I try to take it away now and try to discourage the thumb sucking with the baby coming that the events are too close together. I know she is going to have other issues when the baby comes. Any advice about how to get rid of the blankie/thumb and opinions on...

Hello there...I am looking for new tricks to have up my sleeve when dealing with my 3 year old daughter. As of late she has taken to shrieeking when put on a time out.

Could It Be Night Terrors

A little back ground... My one and a half year old daughter has what I thought to be night terrors.. It started at about two and a half to 3 months old, right around the time she started sleeping through the night which would have been great had her 15 month old brother not had them too.. He, however, would belt out this shriek of a cry and cry for anywhere from 5-15 minutes and then silence.. But the doctor told me they were night terrors and would go away.. they did.... Oct 2007.. anyway... my daughter is completely different.. She just...
