still dealing with that at 4-1/2. i'm trying to let the little things go and just focus on the dangerous ones, like following me into a building instead of playing in the parking lot. also, just make him do things, or take them away. dd talked to her bagel for 10 min this am instead of eating it, so after a few warnings, i just took it away and told her she'd be hungry until snack at school. she had a fit, but I think she'll remember it.

It's pretty hard to get food from local farms. My mother had a Sussex County farm deliver meat to her, then I picked it up from her when visiting. The Union Square farmer's market gets some good poultry and beef, it sells out early though. [ Reply | More
