my friend and I were discussing the estimate of the basic living expenses,.food,.shelter,.clothing,.enter… the first day the baby leaves the hospital to the age eighteen,.,.??

Those 20 in 1 electronics kits from places like Radio Shack.
A chemistry kit.
A microscope with slides.
A small telescope like the one from Meade for $60
An Erector set (do they still make that!)
The visible automoble engine kit
The visibal human kit
A weather station (barometer, hydrometer, thermometer, cloud chart)
There are also kits taht demonstrate physics. You know, 10 balls and you swing two they hit the others and two on the other side move out. Newton’s laws of action.
A film processing kit with contact printer or enlarger. Plastic Yankee tank, little enlarger, tri-chem pack, velox printing paper.
(Do they still make those?)
Go to Edmunds Scientific on the net or Radio Shack or Toys R Us and see what they have in October which is the start of Christmas season.
There is also the odd-ball.
Visual BASIC from E-bay, version 4 or 6 used.
Go to the First Basic site and they have stuff too.
Get the older version on E-bay cheap!
Computer programming in Windows.
Then you get a few books and work the examples.

what toys are good for a 2 1/2 year old girl (will be 3 in october)? I want to get her something that is educational but something that is in her age level. thanks

And what do you give them?

I started my son on diced veggies…like cooked carrots and peas, little pieces of cooked potatoe things like that. at about 9 months up until then he really did seem interested he started baby food at 7 months. and still nursed frequently.
Gerber makes the diced veggies tht are really soft adn just the right size for little fingers… but you can make the same at home just be sure they are fall apart tender befreo you give them to your little one and don’t add salt. there is no need.
he also liked Cheerio’s and gold fish crackers but that was a little closer to 10-11 months.
one last tip …there are these little things that you put food in it looks like a rattle , or toy but the end is mesh, you put the food ( that would be otherwise unsafe for your baby to try to eat) and let then suck and bite at it. my son loved that thing and I felt safe knowing he wouldn’t choke on something. but it does look a bit gross after a few minutes of biting on it
it also doubles nicely as a teething ring( or a way to get liquid in them when they are sick) with a piece of ice , or pieces of crushed ice in it.

my new little grandson was fussy after his mom had pizza. I remember when I nursed my childrend that certain foods the mother eats can bother the baby. Does anyone know any other foods that do this besides tomatoes?

I’m going to a baby shower in a couple of weeks and they want us to bring finger foods. Does anyone have any ideas for something that is light and appropriate for the setting? Thanks for you input!

Such as diapers , bath care, wipes,clothes, etc etc
