Child Labor Laws

The Department of Labor is the sole federal agency that monitors child labor and enforces child labor laws. The most sweeping federal law that restricts the employment and abuse of child workers is the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Child labor provisions under FLSA are designed to protect the educational opportunities of youth and prohibit their employment in jobs that are detrimental to their health and safety. FLSA restricts the hours that youth under 16 years of age can work and lists hazardous occupations too dangerous for young workers to perform. Enforcement of the FLSA's child labor provisions is handled by the Department's Wage and Hour Division.

Please don't report us...I can't help it if he chooses not to wear the provisions we provide him.

Nicholas Potty Update

Last October marked a new milestone for Nicholas. A Big Boy Toilet. A new beginning and endless "Potty Candy". An end in sight for diapers...??

We had no agenda, he's not even 2 yet.  We just provided the toilet and the temptation. (usually marshmallows, m&ms, and jelly beans) Then it faded and he lost all interest. And the toilet sat and collected dust.

Then last week everything changed....Peepee became a hot topic and Nicky started taking his diaper just to dash to the potty and go.  Afterwards, so proud of himself, he runs naked around the house, occasionally jumping with glee, laughing and making sure Daddy knew what he did.

Now we can expect potty usage about 4-5 times a day, however, big boy underwear has no bearing on his decisions to use the potty or not. So we do a lot of wash.

In any case, we are well on our way to being diaper free! Way to Go, Nicky!

Frogs and snails

And puppy-dogs' tails...

That's what little boys are made of.

Meet Reese, Lola and Dylan

Here's why I hate most diaper bags: So many of them are made with the baby in mind, not the mama. They have ducks, polka dots, or sailboats on them, and they don't have any place for your stuff (and Laptop). Aside from strollers and what kind of bottles, diaper bags caused more stress than birthing and the epidural together. Since Nicky was born, I have literally gone through 6 or 7 different bags. As mommies, you know, these suckers are not cheap. Most of them have not survived endless formula spills, sticky candy, and baby messes. Not only does the idea of shopping for a diaper bag drive me crazy, but for all the THOUSANDS of bags out there, I still cant find the perfect bag to house stuff for 2 baby boys and MY stuff.

Until  now....

Meet Reese, Lola (I made that up), and Dylan

You're Welcome. Now go nuts. Or have another baby, you'll have more than enough room in your new bag!
