MD, I had the no cry baby book but haven't looked at the toddler one. I tried a couple of things suggested when W was little but it didn't work for us.

Were Borders and Whitcoulls over there in danger of going under? They just about sank here but thankfully someone bailed them out. I LOVE browsing around Borders (pre children - would be a nightmare now!). Why are they all shutting down? Internet shopping? Or people just don't read as much now?

I think we will do a family day out when DH gets back - W is busting to see the new Cars movie but it seems rather violent compared to the first. I guess we will just watch it at the movies and not have it at home for constant viewing if it isn't as appropriate as the first.
