The Snuggle Spot
Posted by mommaty on
February 10, 2009
Kyle has been asking for me to sleep with him recently, since he had a nightmare a few weeks ago. Although I should not be doing this, I just can't resist the "snuggle spot." He came up with it, actually. It's when I spoon his little body that's curled up like in a little fetal position, his face nuzzled in my neck. It just feels so good, so maternal, so natural. I actually feel sorry for men because I don't think they have the ability to feel the "snuggle spot" since I think it is exclusively a maternal thing. If I am wrong, please correct me.
So I think I will be finding excuses to sleep with Kyle for the next few weeks... for a hit of the snuggle spot... ahhhh...

My good friend, Jenna, is now expecting her third baby and I am trying to put together a giftset full of stuff I know that she (and the little miracle) will love. In my journey, I found some amazing things I think I'm going to put in a big basket with a bow. I thought I would share my plans for the perfect giftset:
So many things to choose from, so little time!!! Thank Goodness, I love to shop and will add many more wonderful items to put into Jenna's box of goodies!
Is It Just Me?: Let’s Stop Scaring Our Kids
Posted by mommaty on
October 2, 2008
Vilified for letting her nine-year-old ride the New York City subway alone, our author implores: let's stop scaring our kids.
It's 7:35 on the Today show-the time reserved for big, national stories. (George Clooney isn't scheduled till later.) Ann Curry is speaking directly to the camera, her face friendly but concerned because her next guest just may be insane. "So," she asks her six million viewers, "is she an enlightened mom or a really bad one?"
The shot widens to reveal … me.
My son, Izzy, is by my side, stuffed with NBC's free cookies, both of us here because I'd recently left him, deliberately, in the first-floor handbag department of the Manhattan Bloomingdale's.
He was nine and had been begging me to please let him find his way home from someplace-anyplace-on the subway, by himself. After all, we live in New York City, and getting around by public transit is a basic part of life, like yelling at cabbies in the crosswalk. It's also a rite of passage, the first step toward feeling grown-up. So on that sunny Sunday, I gave him a subway map, a transit card, $20 for emergencies, and a couple of quarters in case he had to call me. (No, no cell phone. Nine-year-olds lose things.)
Despite a tiny twinge, however, I had no intention of losing him. New York today is as safe as it was in 1963, making it almost embarrassingly ungritty-but reassuring. So I waved goodbye and left in the other direction. After 45 minutes, he arrived home, far more tickled than your average commuter. By Lenore Skenazy

6 Food Mistakes Parents Make
Posted by mommaty on
September 16, 2008
By TARA PARKER-POPE | Published: September 14, 2008
HARRIET WOROBEY, a childhood nutrition instructor, knows firsthand that children can be picky eaters, but even she was surprised by a preschooler last year who ate a mostly chocolate diet.
“Chocolate milk, chocolate chip muffins, chocolate chip pancakes — it was unbelievable,” said Ms. Worobey, director of the Rutgers University Nutritional Sciences Preschool in New Brunswick, N.J. “His mother just thought, ‘That’s what he wants, so that’s what I’m going to do.’ ”
While most parents haven’t resorted to the chocolate diet, they can relate to the daily challenge of finding foods that children will eat. Although obesity dominates the national discussion on childhood health, many parents are also worried that their child’s preferred diet of nuggets and noodles could lead to a nutritional deficit.
Fussiness about food is a normal part of a child’s development. Young children are naturally neophobic — they have a distrust of the new. Even the most determined parents can be cowed by a child’s resolve to eat nothing rather than try something new. As a result, parents often give in, deciding that a bowl of Cocoa Puffs or a Pop-Tart, while not ideal, must be better than no food at all.
“I think parents feel like it’s their job to just make their children eat something,” Ms. Worobey said. “But it’s really their job to serve a variety of healthy foods and get their children exposed to foods.”
A series of simple meal-time strategies can help even the pickiest eater learn to like a more varied diet. Here’s a look at six common mistakes parents make when feeding their children.
