I’ve often wondered what toddlers and really young children think when they watch "Barney" or "Sesame Street." Does it ever occur to them what exactly Barney is? I mean do they think he is real or they know he is just some guy in a dinosaur costume? Do they ever think why they never see Barney or Big Bird in real life, only on TV?

Actually, a parent once told me that their child loved watching Barney on TV, had all the Barney dolls and everything and once when they had a chance to meet ‘Barney’ at the mall they were terrified even though they knew beforehand that they were going to meet him.

You can probably tell I don’t have children. But I would like some others opinions on this. I watched these shows when I was kid but I honestly don’t remember exactly what I thought.

me and 2 of my friends wanted to be toddlers and tiaras for halloween, and we REALLY don’t know how to dress! we wanted a little sparkly cupcake dress, but there are non that fit us… (we’re 14) our back-up idea was just wearing colorful tutus with a sparkly top, but we dont know where we can get it. if you have any other ideas or know where we can get outfits….
thanks in advanced! [=
links would be great! (:

If you’ve answered this you can disregard.. But I really want to know why this is such a big issue with some people. I feel that if your child knows not to put their fingers in their mouth then its fine. Alot of people feel that painting their childs nails makes them grow up too soon or makes the child think they are too grown.. I think this is totally ridiculous. A child will be grown not by nail polish but by what she is being taught. To me its just mommy and daughter time. A time to bond and do each others nails.. Let me ask you, the costumes that Disney sells for little girls with the heels and the ear rings, do you not let your child wear the heels because it will make her think she is too grown or make her grow up too fast? Just really think about it.. Why do you not paint your daughters finger nails if she asks? Some people are so against it and its crazy to me.. Now I wouldn’t take her to a salon to get them done but I don’t mind painting my 3yr olds nails myself.

So I need help with this one…. My boy friend and i have been together 3months spent halloween and thanksgiving together….. with christmas around the corner… Confused!!! Should I put up a stocking for him? we spend everyday together and I have two toddlers that asked me where his stalking was??? And should I envite him to sleep over on christmas eve?? AWKWARD!!! Im sure we will go christmas shopping for the kids together and stuff… what would you do?

i was first gonna be a Dead doll, then a fairy, but now I want to be a toddler

i’m short, so that’s good, kinda chubby like most toddlers are, and my hair is short so I could put it in 2 little pig tails :]
i’m gonna wear some really cute pyjamas, probably with teddy bears or something on them, but the shorts and t-shirt kind, because I want to put a band-aid on my knee (kids are always getting into trouble !) i’m gonna have fuzzy slippers that match the pyjamas and carry around a big teddy-bear
my make-up is gonna be subtle, a bit of lipgloss, light pink eyeshadow, powdered foundation and some peachy blush .
it sounds like a lot, kinda, but i’m only gonna be wearing a little
so, do you like it ?

kthnxbai ^^
oh, and what type of jacket should i wear when it gets colder ?
._.
toddlers don’t use pacifiers .

Bob the Crazy Man

There once was this man named Bob. He was crazy. I don’t really know what happened to him as a kid, but he must have bumped his head really hard or something. Oh, and if you’re skeptical about whether Bob is real or not, make sure you’re never alone. Because he’ll come for you. Now, let me tell you a story about the Halloween of 2007.

It was October 31, 2007. Everyone was outside trick or treating. And of course, Bob was out with his friends dressed up as a satyr. And it looked like he had forced his friends to be Cyclopes.I never knew he’d even KNOWN about mythological creatures. Bob was acting like a monkey, which was pretty normal for him. I imagined that he would be getting in people’s faces saying, "BAHHH! BAAAH!" Like an insane goat. But instead, he would ring the doorbell of somebody’s home, and when the opened the door he would scream, "WHERE’S MY CANDY? WHERE’S MY CANDY?" And it was just a matter of time before the cops showed up.

Bob heard the sirens of the police car and ran up a tree. His satyr costume fell of and everyone witnessed the traumatizing scene of his plaid boxer shorts. Toddlers thought it was a game and started throwing rocks at Bob. Police yelled at him, telling him to get off the tree. He finally gave in and followed the Police’s instructions. I guess he hadn’t done anything too bad, because he was back in his house the next day doing his crazy things.

LOL IT WAS SOOO BAD. I KNOW…..

What do you think of these outfits? We are going to disney world in August and we are taking our oldest daughter and my god daughter to get their hair done at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique.

for my 2.5 year old:

or
2) http://www.disneystore.com/girls-little-mermaid-costume/p/1245281/57493/

For my god daughter who is 7:

or
4) http://www.disneystore.com/girls-ballerina-tinker-bell-costume/p/1241484/57493/

Which ones do you like best? The girls like both and can’t decide which one they like best. I like the first one the best only because its going to be pretty hot when we go.

I’ve found a few and they’re…ehh.

Can’t I just buy her some toddler boy’s black slacks, a white t-shirt, and black shoes?

Sadly we already own the sequin glove…

I don’t want anything to look chincy. Do you think "home made" costumes are better than store bought, in this case?

BQ: For Halloween, do you put makeup on your toddlers/younger kids? Do you paint their face or use any kind of make up?
Okay so that leads to another question: I found this video…would that just be absolutely creepy on a 2 year old, or do you think it would look good (assuming I do it correctly lol)?

http://www.buycostumes.com/Category/0/Product/17742/ProductDetail.aspx ok go to that link and u know where it sais "size chart" well click on that and look at the childrens section and it sais Medium 50"-54" and waist size is 27"-30" well im not toddler,small,or large, size or waist size but im the perfect height for medium but not the waist size cuz im between 20 and 25 but i cant get small cus i not the height for it and it will be too short for me.So im none of the sizes or waist sizes except the height for medium.What size should i get?

I’ve always LOVED Christmas and the season. Not even so much the gifts, although I do love when you look forever to find the perfect gift for that one impossible to but for person; and find it! But I mean I LOVE the lights, and smells, and sounds and just overall family spirit of the season. Our family has lots of little get togethers, be it a family dinnner, home party ect. And everyone’s houses are all lite and decorated ect. I have a 2.5 YO daughter and am due in 29 days with #2! I think the past few years with her have made me want to start "Christmas" in september! LOL. I find it sooo hard to resist in the first few weeks after Halloween not to rip the Christmas things down from the attic and make spiced cider and watch frosty the snowman 6000 times. I manage to hold off simply because I don’t want to rush it and make it lose and of it’s magical 2 YO luster. But if I had it my way, hubby would have been leaning over the roof yesterday to hang the icicle lights LOL. Anyone think they are MORE affected because of their kids; especially toddlers? I also think it’s so much worse for me being as I am due at the very beginning of Dec and will likely end up (if I don’t go into labor on my own) with a repeat c-section.So basically from Dec 3-Dec 17ish I will be out of comission. So I either have to have it ALL done by Decemeber or wait to do it all until just a weekish before. I’ve already got basically all of my shopping done, at least what is "in store" now it’s left to me and online ordering LOL
My 20 month old has used crayons/markers since she was 1.5 She is always supervised so why not? She has really good dexterity and is able to handle regular sized markers/crayons. Try the Crayola "Color Wonder" marker line. It’s the marker that ONLY write on the special paper. That way there is NO chance of a mess!
Well she’s actually 2.5 now; I ment when she was 20 months old LOL

Does anyone know where i can find a shirt and overalls similar to the ones chucky wears? for a toddler

i dont think it is good for them either i just wanna be it i always change my mind be4 halloween i might or might not

My cat loves to be dresses up he never fights me when I put clothes on him, he loves it when my kids try to dress him up and he wants to wear clothes all the time (even tries to put them on himself , unsuccessfully) I would like to know if there is anywhere I can get clothing for a male cat. sweaters, Halloween costumes anything cute but not confining, I still want him to be able to move around and chase after his ball and my toddler.
