In the crook of my arms

Written by Marsha Maung


Continued from page 1

Everything becomes worthwhile when he runs over to me and shouts, “Mommy!!! My mommy!” and come crashing into me, bumping my nose and cracking my lips with his forehead. He buries his head into my shoulder and I bury mine into his. We stay in that position for a full minute before we peel apart and start planting wet kisses all over each others' faces. We don't care about germs, do we? I just want to kiss him untilrepparttar day I die – just kiss him senseless and no one can tell me that I can't kiss my own baby that way.

But till when will this luxury last? Our kids are borrowed treasure for we know they won't remain babies for very long. My babies won't need me for very long now. Soon, they'll be old enough to prefer their friends to me. Soon enough, they'll want to go out with their friends and won't want me to tag along. Soon enough, they'll only speak to me when they want my car or want me to pay their cell phone or Internet bills for them. Soon enough, they'll have a life of their own and mine is kicked aside.

So, for now, I treasure this 3-year-old baby in my arms, lying so soundlessly sleeping inrepparttar 110413 crook of my arms. He fits just perfect right now.

How I wish he would fit into my arms like that forrepparttar 110414 rest of my life….and his. But I know he won't. And that's one BIG, FAT reason to treasurerepparttar 110415 moments now.

Real Monsters Under Your Bed

Written by Dr George W Graham

It works very well forrepparttar average monster.

But what aboutrepparttar 110412 super monsters,repparttar 110413 real monsters?

Think about this:

* There is usually stuff underrepparttar 110414 bed. Things like old socks, dust, half eaten sandwiches. * Mold grows on stuff. * Mold produces spores and chemicals * Spores are breathed in byrepparttar 110415 sleeping child * The chemicals are breathed, too. * Kid cannot sleep because some of these chemicals are neuro- excitatory. These chemicals disturb sleep, cause hallucinations, cause body aches, and can even contribute to ADHD symptoms. * Kid’s imagination invents monster to explain these feelings. * Plus these molds can actually cause allergies, sinus infections, lung infections, ear aches and dandruff [oh no, not dandruff]

Now I don’t know about you, but that sounds likerepparttar 110416 definition of a monster to me.

The solution?

Make two monster sprays. Exchange Tea Tree Oil forrepparttar 110417 Peppermint oil inrepparttar 110418 first formula. This second formula will help hold off on mold growth, I mean Monsters, underrepparttar 110419 bed.

Oh, and maybe cleaning underrepparttar 110420 bed might help too.
