So loving this handmade toddler tunic/dress from the Ashley Lynne Etsy shop. Isn't it gorgeous? The tunic is $29 for sizes 18 months, 24 months, 2T, 3T, 4T, and 5 and $34 for sizes 6 and 8.
Wish they had my size...

It's time for a Mom Confession -- because, let's face it, we're real mothers and sometimes it doesn't work the way the parenting books say it should.
This Week's Confession:
I let my son watch way way too much TV. We would do things like go to the park but I don't have a car. — anonymous

CafeMom aurorabunny is back with another edition of Special Needs Living.
aurorabunny's 3-year old son Brody was diagnosed with classic autism at one year, falling on the severe side of the spectrum in terms of development. At present, Brody is still mostly nonverbal, using a few words, sign language, and PECS (Picture Exchange Communication System) to communicate.
Each week, aurorabunny discusses the everyday struggles and triumphs of raising a child with special needs and an invisible disability.

One mom's question about whether or not to pierce her 4-year old's ears sure sparked some debate over in The CafeMom Newcomers Club recently.
What's interesting to me is that age wasn't the controversy, it was gender — her child is a boy. So in an era when many CafeMoms agree that little boys should be allowed to do ballet, many at the same time believe that earrings are only for girls, not boys.
Wow. What year is it?

After reading the Daily Buzz post French Fries: Most Popular Tot "Vegetable," some of you tot mamas — although you have a pretty good idea — wondered what good toddler nutrition should look like.
I asked Catherine McCord (CafeMom weelicious), the founder of weelicious.com, to tell us what she knows about good toddler nutrition.

The Baby Einstein debate, and Disney's refund — you've probably heard a lot of talking about babies and kids and the "big bad TV" lately.
Well, here's an interesting perspective from Julia Pimsleur Levine. Julia actually makes an educational DVD series for tots, but she's also a mom. And she makes a very valid point about the importance of promoting media literacy rather than "demonizing" the television altogether.
When it comes to toddlers watching TV, it doesn't have to be all or nothing, does it?

"Little boys in ballet/tap?" asks CafeMom hanksmom0207 in the Advice for Moms group. "Is that okay for little boys?"
I'm probably about as "pro" boys in dance classes as they come, but I'd love to hear what you have to say.
