What's Happening Now
When my five-year-old came out of her room from her nap on Friday, she was pantsless and pieces of the disposable diaper she naps in were spread all over the room. I vacuumed them up and didn't think much about it -- she has a severe language delay and other neurological challenges so couldn't tell me what had happened. But now I'm concerned she may have eaten the disposable diaper. She's bad about chewing on paper, crayons, et cetera, and since Saturday morning, her poops have been green and grainy, very unusual for her. She isn't running a fever, and she is eating, drinking, and playing normally right now (Sunday afternoon), so I'm not panicking at the moment. But I'm curious to know if others have had experience with this. I'm planning to call the pediatrician tomorrow, but if anyone knows of any reasons I should so anything more urgently, please let me know. Thanks!View Thread
We've had issues with him like peeing all over the toilet and floor, not helping to clean up, talking about inappropriate things, throwing lollipop sticks on the ground, etc. BUT giving him the benefit of the doubt, he's a kid. He is also the 5th kid out of 6.
Anyway, we have a lot of problems with this. Besides for showing up like every day unannounced, sending him home I am uncomfortable with. What if god forbid someone takes him, he falls off his bike or he gets hit by a car?
How should I handle this? I am posting as anonymous just to be safe but you all know me JView Thread

Michael and his class appreciate your help!!View Thread
My 3YO eats with us (she snacks all day so usually just comes to the table). Then she gets a bath and bed by 9:00. She doesn't have to get up in the mornings so she sleeps in.View Thread
Don't have any book recommendations for you but all the other ladies suggestions sound great and gave me some good ideas. Ryder is an ok reader but I wish he would find a love for it like I do. I keep encouraging him to read and delve into the adventures he will find in books but it hasn't clicked yet.View Thread
