It goes w/o saying, but be careful with the jibit-things. My 4 yo DC has them for her Crocs and my 1 yo got hold of one and, of course, put it in his mouth. We pulled it out just in time (or so it seemed). My 12-month old is not yet walking, but looks like he will soon. Do you think Crocs are good water shoes for him or should I get something with more support? Thanks! [ Reply | More

She could still have the infection. My dd is on her 4th infection in the last 2.5months. I don't think it ever fully went away. So frustrating. I would go to Ped., whenever you think its still there, it very well might be. I was always right when I thought she had one, sadly. [ Reply | More

sorry gone so long. I don't remember the med names for first two rounds (both 2x a day liquids), but the last infection was a shot that started with a C and now we are on a once a day liquid Cefdinir. Worried about all of the antibiotics but more worried about dd in pain. Tough spot. [ Reply | More

Yes. My DC got 99x3 and report was amazing so I thought it was score specific. DF's DC did well in vocab but bombed performance (huge 20+ point gap) and she said report was still really glowing and that it did not have negative code words she could tell and hardly matched the score at all. So, I guess the answer is usually, yes, the narrative is very positive. [ Reply | More
