There is something about newborns I will never get over: their cry. They are "newborn" for a very short amount of time, and as they get older, their cry matures. The newborn cry is a sound unlike any other and is sweet, grating, demanding, and sad, all at the same time.read more

The past few blogs have been quite serious and philosophical. So, I think I will write one on a lighter note today. It is amazing to me how we have a natural born rhythm in us. We like to move.

The air is lighter and cooler. Sunset comes much faster and sunrise much later. Trees are turning fantastic shades of yellow, red, brown, gold, and orange.

The emergence of baby's first tooth is always an exciting event. But getting there, however, can be quite an exhausting challenge! My first daughter began teething at three months of age.

I have heard as many potty training stories as there are kids. All kids are different and each of them approaches life very differently. There is no exception when it comes to potty training.
