Real Life Mama: Just the three of us
So far this summer, we have done all the things – swimming, skateboarding, biking, scootering, trails, creeks, watching movies on the back of the house from the swimming pool, babies, barbies, chalking, dance partying in the kitchen and oh, did I mention swimming?

Living with Children: Help big brother understand baby’s limits
Q: Our soon-to-be 5-year-old son enjoys playing with his 14-month-old brother, but there have been three times recently when the baby has started crying and when I check, big brother has a guilty look on his face. So far, the baby has suffered a scratch under one eye, a red mark on his face where a ball hit him, and a bruised forehead from falling over. When big brother is banished to his room for these incidents, he is more upset about being punished than about hurting his brother. His lack of remorse bothers us. As a result, we’ve put baby brother off limits for a time. Are we expecting too much?
