Sometimes I have to put Casey in his booster while I get his lunch ready to keep him from being underfoot, and he waits pretty patiently. This day he was particularly relaxed.
Also, a tip for all the parents of toddlers out there - "Happiest Toddler on the Block". We were sold on Dr Harvey Karp since "Happiest Baby on the Block" worked miracles for us. We have recently checked this second DVD out from the library and found it to be as miraculous. This guy is a little bizarre, and his tactics quite strange at first, but they work. Jeff successfully avoided a melt down in a restuarant on Saturday. Other people might have wondered what he was doing but that's better than them wondering what we were thinking "bringing that kid in here." Anyway, give it a look if there is a little person in your house who knows what they want and they want it NOW.

Dear Jeff and Bridget:
Casey is so handsome! Just wanted to say thank you for mentioning Dr. Karp's "The Happiest Baby on the Block" and "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" DVDs. It's wonderful to read about how Dr. Karp's techniques help parents.
It was great to read how "toddler-ese" helped calm Casey in the restaurant. I wanted to mention that you may also find it useful to read "The Happiest Toddler on the Block" book, or use the book as a reference for more in-depth information that the DVD doesn't cover. For example, the book discusses in detail the following topics: discipline, potty training, sleep, picky eating, etc.
For more information, or to purchase the book, please visit www.thehappiestbaby.com.
Also, I would truly appreciate you leaving a review on Amazon because it helps new parents to read about the experiences of seasoned parents...like you two!
Wishing you and your family a joyous holiday season!
Best,
Laila
