if your 13 mo dd, she is just figuring out stuff, not verbal. just be consistent about no, distracting, also make sure to be careful about "nibbling" her as a joke [ Reply | More

This tier stuff is so silly. Browning is a lovely school with comparable academics. It suffers slightly b/c its facility is not as large as some of the others. But you'll get a terrific education there. There is nothing third tier about it. And for every person who thinks Buckley is the "be all end all" there's another family who would kill to get into St David's. The ideas of tiers is from the "days of old" and simply don't apply anymore. [ Reply | More
