We are so thankful that our second daughter, Lillian Elizabeth "Lily", was born healthy and happy on February 11, 2013. We love her to pieces.
We lost our first daughter, Hannah Grace on May 4, 2011. She was buried on May 14 during a beautiful service at my home church. We are grateful that if she could not be here with us, that she is healed and whole with the Lord. We look forward to the day when we will get to meet her. We love her so much.
Re: Tablet for toddler?
@DC2London I am not sure if you know they exist but the Fire released a version for kids that comes with a 2 year no questions asked warranty, a "kid-proof" case and a years access to lots of free content.

I can't speak for the fire itself but this is what my 6 year old is getting for Christmas as his big gift. He is also likely going to live with his grandmother (foster son) in California within the next 6 months so I figured it would be good for the plane ride as well.
I wouldn't get one for my Feb baby right now because I don't think she would be interested. I did consider getting one for my other foster son who is 2yr 9 mths. I decided to wait on him but I do think that he would enjoy it. Just can't justify getting two right now when they could share at least for a little while. If Sean leaves first and the other kids like it I will consider getting another one then for the younger two.
This is what they want to get....the kids kindle fire. They are getting one for my nieces too, sis already ok'ed it. Her kids are 5 and 2 (6months older than dd). I am torn between saying no, seeming judgy and hurting their feelings and saying yes even though I don't really want to. Dd has a few games on my ipad and I let her use it some so I also feel like a hypocrite. Sigh.

Also, if someone were offering to get one for DD I would probably just say thank you and try to find things she could use on it :-) I am not opposed to the screen time so much as I just don't think she's "get it" but ....maybe I underestimate. I am using the one we are getting as a trial to see what content is out there for younger kids too.
Flame away!!
DS already uses our tablet that's 2-3 years old. He loves the bowling game that we have on it. We also downloaded a few other games and created a kids mode because he was starting to wonder into Netflix and ebay. We were going to get him his own but I wanted to get him a 9-10 inch screen and the cheapest were $60-$100. I think we are going to give him our old one and get a new one.
