I hope everyone has a lot of fun with the blocks. I can't tell you how quick and easy it is with fabric markers and kids can really do it themself or you can trace a drawing that has special meaning. Muslin is pretty easy to see thru as it is light and has a lower thread count.

I think most professors are understanding and will allow extra time for students who really need it and if you need to stay in school and extra sememster I think it is still worth it.

I say talk it over with you counselor at school, take fewer classes if you have to and just do it.

<t>Some kids seem better equipt than others to deal with questions.<br/> <br/> I think we are lucky as we also live in a small town and as our son is only 6 his friends have not noticed yet. Hopefully because of this delay he will not have to address the issue often and will be mature enough to let ...

<t>I did get the instructions for an 8" muslin square decorated however you wanted.<br/> <br/> It will be in the mail today. Used fabric markers to trace our state and put an outline of a handprint with a heart drawn on the palm. The traditional heart in the hand design if you will.<br/> <br/> I hav...

We are not far from Ellsworth.<br/> <br/> I don't check the boards often as our son is now six and doing well but he had surgery at TCH at 5 1/2 months.<br/> <br/> I do hope lots of people can make it as it is a beautiful place to visit and we certai...

<t>I wouldn't worry excessively over tummy time. Developmentally children need to be on the tummy and your child should have the opportunity to learn how to roll over and crawl and do the things normal children do. Yes, my children slept in the family bed too but only because I wanted them to not be...

<t>Our son was born with Erbs Palsy and had surgery at 5 1/2 months old at TCH.<br/> <br/> We sent them a tape to see if he was a good canidate for surgery and have never regreted the decision to have the nerve by-pass done.<br/> <br/> Our now six year old son swims, does karate and gymnastics lesso...

<t>I have e-mailed to get details but have this suggestion for everyone.<br/> <br/> Fabric Markers!<br/> <br/> Seriously easy enough for anyone to use. I have purchased two kinds from our local Wal-Mart and lord knows there are plently Wal-Marts around. There are two packages of permanent fabric mar...
