 Hello! Spring
definitely has sprung. Have you noticed that May Day is the starter's
gun for the end of the school year rush? You should see our end of the
year calendar! We handle this time of year by planning may family
outings and barbecues...as well a the creation of the traditional count
down to the end of the year calendar!
Of course, Mother's Day is
around the corner and that is always a great occasion to orchestrate
some family time - and remind our kids how wonderful their moms are!

Ask Dr. Gwenn: Oh, no! Where'd the nap go? Dear Dr. Gwenn,
My
son has been transitioning from one to two naps for the last 1 ½ months
and it’s not getting any easier. He falls asleep on his own but he
wakes up every half hour if I am not sleeping right next to him,
screaming and crying. We’ve tried a myriad of things...We are dealing
with a very tired and frustrated toddler and family!
