We have a strict 8:00 bedtime and they all usually go with it. And if I can getthem to eat ANYTHING with nutritional value- it's a goood day. Whatever works for you!

She also plays with my DS. And sadly she LOVES playing with cell phones, only to take pictures or listen to the music ringtones, but pretty much you hand her a phone and she can get to the camera, or the ringtones! It is funny watching her teach my grandparents (Both in their 60's) how to use their computer and camera! I think in a technology filled world we have now days it is important that kids know how to do things. Alexis also LOVES her some coffee! Black, and HOT or even with cream and sugar, she DOESNT CARE! Now, she doesnt get it often, but she does love it... We all parent different but I agree, whatever works!

I'm not sure where we'll fall on the laid back/strict spectrum yet. It probably depends on the context. I just still feel like we're newbies with our 2.5 year-old. I think we have similar philosopies on food. I don't have a problem with junk food as long as the good stuff gets eaten too (and more often than the junk). I have no plans to give soda, and I actually don't even tend to give any juice due to the high sugar content. We were stricter about sleep training than some of my friends, though we end up being overall more flexible about the sleep schedule. If we have a party to go to, Phoebe comes along even if she is up several hours past bedtime. Or we sometimes forego the nap in order to go someplace. My friends, on the other hand, will opt out of plans due to the sleep schedule. alejnas last blog post..<a href="http://collectingtokens.wordpress.com/2008/08/03/juggling-acts/" rel="nofollow">juggling acts</a> It’s great to see what works for other parents.

Like you, I pick my battles and figure some things are not worth fighting over. I also hope my kids like the discovery channel and stuff too. I'm currently living in Dora hell, but I don't let her watch all that Hannah Montana crap and don't think I ever will.
