Maybe try to completely ignore her when she does it. I know that would be hard to do at times, but if she got no response from you, it would bore her after awhile. There is a reason why she continues to do this, and as long as she is going to get your attention from it, good or bad in this case, she will continue. I would also consider checking with you Pediatrician, as they may have even better ways to deal with it.
IMHO- hitting her in her mouth, no matter how soft, may not be the best thing to do.
Amen! Ignoring and walking to another room really works.

Based on the schedule - May 9th was our date. It was in my account yesterday the 6th. Wow....never known the IRS to give you something early. Keep checking your account.

For all of you moms, with love.
This is for the mothers who have sat up all night with sick toddlers in
their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Mayer wieners and cherry
Kool-Aid saying, 'It's okay honey, Mommy's here.'
Who have sat in rocking chairs for ! hours on end soothing crying babies
who can't be comforted.
This is for all the mothers who show up at work with spit-up in their
hair and milk stains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.
For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween
costumes. And all the mothers who DON'T.
This for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see. And the
mothers who took those babies and gave them homes.
This is for the mothers whose priceless art collections are hanging on
their refrigerator doors.
And for all the mothers who froze their buns on metal bleachers at
football or soccer games instead of watching from the warmth of their
cars.
And that when their kids asked, 'Did you see me! , Mom ?' they could say,
'Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world,' and mean it.
This is for all the mothers who yell at their kids in the grocery store
and swat them in despair when they stomp their feet and scream for ice
cream before dinner. And for all the mothers who count to ten instead,
but realize how child abuse happens.
This is for all the mothers who go hungry, so their children can eat. !
For all the mothers who read 'Goodnight, Moon' twice a night for a year.
And then read it again. 'Just one more time.'
This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their
shoelaces before they started school. And for all the mothers who opted
for Velcro instead.
This is for all the mothers who teach their sons to cook and their
daughters to sink a jump shot.
This is for every mother whose head turns automatically when a little
voice calls 'Mom?' in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring
are at home -- or even away at college ~or have their own families.
This is for all the mothers who sent their kids to school with stomach
aches, assuring them they'd be just FINE once they got there, only to
g et calls from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick
them up. Right away.
This is for mothers whose children have gone astray, who can't find the
words to reach them.
For all the mothers who bite their lips until they bleed when their 14
year olds dye their hair green.
For all the mothers of the victims of recent school shootings, and the
mothers of those who did the shooting.
For the mothers of the surviv ors, and the mothers who sat in front of
their TVs in horror, hugging their child who just came home from school,
safely.
This is for all the mothers who taught their children to be peaceful,
and now pray they come home safely from a war.
What makes a good Mother anyway? Is it patience! ? Com passion? Broad hips?
The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt,
all at the same time?
Or is it in her heart?
Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear
down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?
The jolt that takes you from sleep to dread, from bed to crib at 2 A.M.
to put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby?
The panic, years later, that comes again at 2 A.M. when you just want to
hear their key in the door and know they are safe again in your home?
Or the need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you
h e ar news of a fire, a car accident, a child dying?
The emotions of motherhood are universal and so our thoughts are for
young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation...
And mature mothers learning to let go.
For working mothers and stay-at-home mothers.
Single mothers and married mothers.
Mothers with money, mothers without.
This is for you all. For all of us...
Hang in there. In the end we can only do the best we can. Tell them
every day that we love them. And pray and never stop being a mom..
'Home is what catches you when you fall - and we all fall.'
Please pass this to a wonderful mother or mother figure you know.

I remember the afternoons I sat at CHOA getting stitches and staples. My youngest walked at 7months + 10 days old. The child didn't know there was a "HEAD" up there....three times stitches 6/8/9 all in the face and one time 9 staples back of the head - before the child was 2. Each time they gave started giving me the third degree, until they saw him climbing all over the desks/chairs/tv stand etc...in the waiting room while the numbing patch took effect. Luckly we haven't been back but once for 12 stitches in the leg last summer. I took the stitches out myself after the 7-10 days while child was asleep. Child is almost 8. Good Luck and hope yours heals quickly.

Its amazing what I learned from this site. I have changed most of my make up to lower risky ones. I have been a Mary Kay and Avada user for years! Even Avada didn't do well.....pretty scary huh!

We have two 4-wheelers and 2 KTM motorcycles. We live near power lines and have alot of wooded areas to ride. Other than the power lines we have asked the property owners if it is okay to ride their trails. They have given us permission. I do allow (I go with them or have someone responsible with them) my children to ride on the side of the street to access these areas so that we can ride off road. Helmets, appropriate riding clothes and shoes are manditory. I have taken riding priviledges away many times for not following the rules and being considerate of the neighbors. I also know my neighbors have done the same. I feel if everyone is respectfull of where/how/when they ride then neighbors won't have a reason to complain. We (me and neighbors) try to communicate to prevent problems and keep the younger ones safe. I can't count the number of ATV's in this (maybe 100 home) neighborhood. We do have several Cobb officers (and I think a Paulding one) in it. Communication is the key here - w/neighbors, officers and property owners. One teen in our neighborhood was getting into other trouble.....too much down time on his hands, was somewhat seperated from the other kids in the neighborhood. Bad grades, no friends and nothing to do other than get into things. He got an ATV for Chirstmas and now rides with the others, his attitude has changed and he seems to have become less troubled. Please don't think that I think the ATV was the only reason hes doing better, but his mom says he shows more responsibility. He does his homework as soon as he gets home.....just in case the others decide to ride. Be responsible, communicate, and have fun!

We also went from At&t and we were fed up with them! So comcast didn't have to do much to make us happy. One thing I love is the internet is way faster than the dsl from At&t, and I love it that if I have a problem, they are out here the next day. Direct tv, nor AT&T ever did that! My modem was acting up and they sent someone out and he just replaced it. They also came and set everything up for free.
The only thing I miss about our phone, and I haven't even looked into it with comcast was the privacy director. If you don't identify yourself, you can't get in.
Best wishes!
Didn't you just love that privacy director. We did! Only problem is I have lots of family out of the country and they needed a password (3 digit code) to get thru just to say who they were. Otherwise I enjoyed having it.

I have an 11 & 7 yo. The have their basic chores to which they do not get $ for. If they go beyond that then they earn $. (small amounts) There will always be the basic responsibilities, then I try to instill in them to work for what they want (extra). They are always required to put 50% of their earnings in a jar for saving, so they actually have two funds. One they can spend whenever they choose and then one growing right in front of them. They see the growth and it sitting there (hopefully learning - $ grows when left alone. They do get excited when they put more into the "sitting" one. Good lesson to teach young. Good luck.

Pcom posters - Thanks for the list.....always looking for books to read.
I just finished "The King of Torts" by John Grisham and Now starting "2nd Chance" by James Patterson. A family member gave them to me.
-
Thanks for the couple of good notes about the skits.....I will pass them along to the girls. They loved doing them and laughing together with their silly troop leader....."I thought you would!".
BTW - The cookie money earned will be funding their trip to Savannah in May. They are so excited! Anyone else going?
-
Quick question - for those of you attending Saturday at County Line Church - Of what you could hear of the skits from troop 604 - Did you like it? Do you think the girls will remember some/all of the tips? Our girls had very little time to work on it and really enjoyed trying to put it together quickly.
I also love our troop leader - what a personality?
"Thought you would!"
-
My mother always told me......If you don't like something, Change it, and if you cant change it, Accept it and move on.
-
I would guess she wasn't there Saturday????
Or, maybe just maybe she couldn't hear it because of all the chatter from the RUDE parents chit chatting in the back of the room.
Yes, I was there.
Follow the rules and let the kids sell the cookies......Jeeessh
Obviously she wasn't there and in our troop we were told if we didn't attend, we would not be allowed to sell cookies. Last year the Council withheld the "bonus" money for the troop if each didn't attend. (Only rumor).
I also agree with you about the RUDE parents.....If parents don't show respect then how can we expect our children. I also laughed each time the Guy yelled "QUIET". After the meeting, I found out he was also involved in Boy Scouts and Military. THEY DONT TAKE LIGHTLY TO DISRESPECT. I'm glad he was there. Our troop leader will not give each girl their packages to sell until Thursday. Keep the rules intact. Good luck to all selling as we will be out Friday afternoon door to door. Thank you to all that buy from GS.

We love the Brain Age games....may be too young, but get them for you and hubby! 7yo loves sponge bob and mario!

Thanks Jess, I wanted the ones that would work on plastic ornaments. I want to make them for children to take home from school next week. I thought this would be a great gift for the little ones as we need to send 18 items in for their friends. I was also gonna let my 2nd grader write the names and feel that the fine pointed ones would be easier for him to write with. I think the children will like them as they will be made by their class friend.

Deco Markers
Do I have to buy them at a craft store? and do they come in fine lines so that you can write names on them? Thanks for the help!
-
On Good Morning America they showed that you could write names on ornaments. I think they were the glass kind. My question - Is there a paint pen that you could do this on plastic ornaments. Need to know type of paint pen? Any one know?

If your dog goes nuts during a thunder storm, pet him/her with the dryer sheet, I read somewhere that they go nuts because of the static elect. in their hair. It will calm them.

I'm so grateful all mine are home from Father(ret), FIL(ret), hubby(out in late 80's), cousin (was on the USS Stark in P-Gulf when alot of the middle eastern crap started) and nephew out this year! I pray for those still there and wish all of them a safe return.
Also, Thank you for the video, I needed a couple of tissues now!

Sara Babb Park was recently deeded back to the city of Dallas from Paulding County Recreation. It is the city of Dallas that can do with it what they will. Your voice needs to be heard by the city council members, Mayor, and city manager. Keep it positive it reflects on us all.
Over the summer the City of Dallas learned that they would not receive a grant (I think from fed govt.) unless they had X amount of recreation space. This is the reason the park was deeded back to the City. I think the City of Dallas needs to re think "Why they do something".
I'll be there Monday.
