What to Do for 2Nd B-day?

Hello, MOms, My son will be turning two in February and I do not know what to do. He loves balls - any and all. He lies the monkey from Curious George and Jungle Book.

Any suggestions would be great on some kind og ball themed 2nd year b-day party. Thanks!

How to Throw a 3 Year Old a Birthday Party?

I don't know how to throw my daughter her 3 year party (October 25th). The last two years have been close family only, and I was fine with that. But since my B-day in mid-August, Arden is running around singing happy birthday to herself almost every day...the time has come. Thing is, all of the 1,2,and 3 year old parties I've attended have been for both parents and kids (and I mean BOTH parents). These are typically held in the late afternoon/eve, and invlove lots of alcohol, the guys gathering to themselves, and the moms taking care of...

Goody Bags or Not??

I'm planning on having a party for my daughter who will be turning 3 at Pump It Up and need some advice about goody bags. Is it really necessary to give goody bags away to guests?? Honestly, I don't see a point to those goody bags, but was wanting some input from other moms. The kids will get to bounce for 80 minutes and then they go into the party room for cake and juice....I'm having the party at 3:00 so really don't need to provide other kinds of food since I don't want to ruin their appetite for dinner. Can kids and parents just go...

I Have a 3 Year old...enough Said :)

OK, mainly I'm just venting, but of course would love any ideas, input, etc. from those who have or have had 3 year old boys. My biggest frustration is...why in the world does he have to be so difficult with me? The simplest of instruction from me becomes a big issue. "Honey, please come here so I can change your diaper"...."no" (and runs away). I am firm with him, I use positive discipline, rewards, consequences, time outs and anything else I have learned, but it just seems like EVERYTHING little thing is a battle. By noon I've had it. I...

Birthday Party Ideas for 3 Year Old

I am looking for some inexpensive ideas for a 3 year old birthday party. My son is turning 3 and wants to go to Chuck E Cheese -- that can be expensive. Our house is pretty small, especially for several 3 year olds and their parents...We are struggling like most everyone else financially and are looking for some ideas on doing an inexpensive but fun birthday party for our soon to be 3 year old.

Unruly 3 Year Old

I wrote a couple of weeks ago and i really need some advise. My 3 year old girl is completely out of control. She does not listen to anyone, she is horribly bratty, and has no regard for anyone else. When we are with other children, she will rip toys away from them, push them, and is ALWAYS the boss. But, she is the first to cry when someone else does something to her that she doesn't like. She has started talking baby talk all the time. It's not an attention thing, because I give her attention 24/7 and try very hard to be patient. ...
