Halloween is one of the most exciting times of the year for kids—and one of the most stressful times for parents as they worry about sugar highs and safety.
Can you guess what is the most common injury to children on Halloween?

Sometimes a plain old bandaid won't do. Sometimes your skinned-knee tot requires some deluxe first aid — alá a lovely Ouch Art School bandaid.

I wonder if any of those companies that make baby-proofing supplies employ any 2 and 3 year old consultants on their quality control staffs, because they should. Most tots I know can bust in, click open, or scoot over many of those clever little gadgets that are supposed to keep children out, in, or away.
It took me about two hours to install what seemed like 25,000 white plastic cabinet locks in my kitchen ... and about 15 minutes for my son to crack the code: pull down over the little notch, swing open. Unfortunately, if they made them more difficult for toddlers, the parents wouldn't be able to open them, either.

Does your little one always want her fingers and toes painted just like Mommy?
Lots of moms are worried about their toddlers putting their hands in their mouth and ingesting the chemicals from regular nail polish. But there is a natural solution...

Congratulations to CafeMom mjgreeley who won this awesome booster seat! Stay tuned for more CafeMom giveaways every week.
Is your toddler growing like a weed? Mine sure is. It's just a matter of time before he'll be wanting to sit in a booster seat like his big brother.
The general guideline for switching to booster seats, although every state has different booster seat guidelines (they let parents decide when to switch), is not before age 4 AND 40 pounds.
Our state suggests waiting to move to a booster seat at age 6, and so we'll go with that for our youngest, as we did for our oldest.
Right now on CafeMom, you can enter to win a Britax booster seat for your growing tot.

Can you find the sleeping child in the photo?
Oh, yes, there she is ... to the left of Mickey Mouse and due south of Pink Pig. And I think she's being kissed by Mr. Brown Bear over in the upper left corner.
This little girl is a year old. My daughter is 4 and I allow her two stuffed animals with her in her toddler bed at night.

Introducing ... a papoose board. An effective way to restrain a petrified and flailing child during a medical procedure.
OMG!
I had no idea they even made such things!
While I hate the idea of giving my child any kind of drug for otherwise quick and routine dental and medical procedures ... Hello, anesthesia! Maybe it's because I'm claustrophobic, but I would never consider restraining my child in a contraption like this, would you? Is it really more humane and less risky?
