Would you say that your child/ren has more whites, lights, or darks regarding clothing? Can that color take up a whole wash?
The older 3 have more darks (blues, purples, darker pinks) but the baby has mostly lights.

What is your child/ren's favorite breakfast? Beverage? Fruit? Veggie? Meat?
A - Omelet, apple cider, pineapple, carrots, ribs.
Iz - Eggs and toast, apple juice, bananas, broccoli, ham.
Owl - Dry cereal with a sippy cup of milk, milk, oranges, asparagus, chicken.
Apple - Formula, formula, none yet, none yet, none yet.

Does/do your child/ren get jealous of your display of affection to your DW/DP? If so, how do s/he/they display it?
A used to when we first got together but now she is grossed out by it, none of the kids show jealousy over it right now.

What are your views on TV and computers in the classroom?
I think they can be beneficial if used appropriately.  A movie related to current subject matter = good, educational websites = good.  A movie just for the heck of it more than a few times a year = bad.

If your child/ren watch TV what is their favorite program?
The kids don't regularly watch TV but we try to have a movie night once a week, they usually pick Spy Kids.

Singing and dancing children in this audience?
OMG yes!  Iz is an attention hoarder, she will act a fool to get everyone's attention, including singing and dancing, whatever it takes to get people to look at her.

Does your child prefer to be barefoot, socks only, sandals only, shoes only, or socks and sandals/shoes?
A and Iz are my barefoot babies (just like me), Owl doesn't speak so I have no idea what she prefers and we haven't tried to put shoes on Apple yet.

Those with daughters, can you tell if she will like clothes/shoes/dressing up? Do you foresee her as a diva?
A likes to be fashionable but she isn't a diva at all, she prefers Vans over other girly shoes and jeans/stretchy pants and tees over dresses most of the time.  Iz (being the typical 4 year old) comes out in some CRAZY mismatched outfits when we let her dress herself, she has a diva attitude but not the style yet.

Those with sons, the same question as eight, but do you forsee him as sensitive?
N/A

And last, but definitely not least, how does your child/ren react with a poopy diaper? Runs from you when you go to change him or her? Demands that you change it right away (crying would fall in here)? Could care less?
Owl - We don't know she is wet or pooped unless we check or she wets through her diaper.  I don't know if she doesn't mind the yuck or if she doesn't tell us because her speech isn't there.
Apple - She is a crier, loud and angry.

Bonus question:

If your child can talk already, is fart or burp part of his/her vocabulary? Is it funny or is it serious? Do you not say anything? (How much of a kid are you when it comes the passing of gases *smile*? )
A and Iz went through a phase where fart and burp were insanely funny (to them) and said way too often, they would often push farts and burps out in order to be even funnier.  J and I let it go on for a little while until it got to be too much, too often and then we had a talk with them about being polite and how what they were doing wasn't funny to everyone.  We all occasionally joke about burps and farts but we try to keep it under control so the kids don't get too out of hand.

1. Would you say that your child/ren has more whites, lights, or darks regarding clothing? Can that color take up a whole wash?                                                                                                                                    I would say that she has more brights or darks for winter clothes more lights in the summer.  Not enough to do her own load we do all our clothes together.  We never used the special detergent.  She didn't break out with the hospital laundry so I though our tide would be fine.
2. What is your child/ren's favorite breakfast? Beverage? Fruit? Veggie? Meat?                                                                                                                                                                                                               Cherios or pancakes, milk, strawberries, broccoli, chicken but she doesn't really like meat.
3. Does/do your child/ren get jealous of your display of affection to your DW/DP? If so, how do s/he/they display it?                                                                                                                                                 No
4. What are your views on TV and computers in the classroom? Ella watches tv.  I am not super happy with the amount but she has a very active life and I feel like a little tv is ok.  She is equally happy to play with us or her toys so I am not concerned.                                                        
5. If your child/ren watch TV what is their favorite program?  She really likes wow wow wubzy and cailou (which I hate).  She loves curious george            
6. Singing and dancing children in this audience?  Not formally but my child loves to dance and music.  This must come from the donor since my family has no musical ability.  We are going to try to head her towards gymnastics vs dance since I don't love the make up ect of dance but if she wants to dance she will dance.                                                         
7. Does your child prefer to be barefoot, socks only, sandals only, shoes only, or socks and sandals/shoes?  I don't think she cares.  She wears her shoes when we go out but neither asks to take them off or put them on.
8. Those with daughters, can you tell if she will like clothes/shoes/dressing up? Do you foresee her as a diva? Not really she doesn't seem to care about her clothes and has never refused to wear something. (which means she will throw a fit when I try to get her dressed tomorrow.)            
9. Those with sons, the same question as eight, but do you forsee him as sensitive? n/a
10. And last, but definitely not least, how does your child/ren react with a poopy diaper? Runs from you when you go to change him or her? Demands that you change it right away (crying would fall in here)? Could care less?  She walks around all funny when she has a dump in her pants.  She has started to ask to get changed she doesn't get upset and she doesn't always ask.  We are hoping her being uncomfortable in her crap is a good sign.

My wife started this thing that when Ella farted she would say "beep" now when Ella farts she says beep it is really cute.    

2brides

1. Would you say that your child/ren has more whites, lights, or darks regarding clothing? Can that color take up a whole wash? Definitely more darks. They wear a uniform (navy pants, gold shirt, gold sweatshirt) everyday and it takes 2 loads to do just uniforms (when it is shorts and shirt it is one load.) Weekend wear is also mostly dark.
   
2. What is your child/ren's favorite breakfast? This is a tough sell in our house. The PB balls were a hit for 2 days. ZBars are good for a couple of days. Starbucks bagels 1x a week. Beverage? They only drink milk, water, or lemonade. So any of those. Fruit? Apples, grapes, or clementines. Veggie? Corn. Though technically a starch. Or carrots. Meat? They only like chicken. No red meat (due to their preferences.)
   
3. Does/do your child/ren get jealous of your display of affection to your DW/DP? Jealous? No. But everyone wants to sit next to her.  If so, how do s/he/they display it?
4. What are your views on TV and computers in the classroom? As long as it is for educational purposes and used in moderation, I am fine with it.
   
5. If your child/ren watch TV what is their favorite program? Pokemon, Spinjitsu, and Bakugan.
   
6. Singing and dancing children in this audience? Not really.
   
7. Does your child prefer to be barefoot, socks only, sandals only, shoes only, or socks and sandals/shoes? Carter - barefoot. Kid takes his shoes off all of the time. Gray - socks.
   
8. Those with daughters, can you tell if she will like clothes/shoes/dressing up? Do you foresee her as a diva? Not girls, but my boys have been very particular about their clothing since 2.5y or so. They have definite opionins on what they will/won't wear.
   
9. Those with sons, the same question as eight, but do you forsee him as sensitive? Most likely. They are both pretty tender hearted.
   
10. And last, but definitely not least, how does your child/ren react with a poopy diaper? Runs from you when you go to change him or her? Demands that you change it right away (crying would fall in here)? Could care less? Well, thankfully they have been potty trained for 2.5y (not to say we don't have occasional accidents.) But right until we forced them to PT (at 3y 3m) they have cared less.
    

Bonus question:

If your child can talk already, is fart or burp part of his/her vocabulary? Is it funny or is it serious? Do you not say anything? (How much of a kid are you when it comes the passing of gases *smile*? ) They don't know the word "fart" - they say their bottom burped. I have no idea where they got that. LOL. But they are at the age where they think poop,pee, bottom are HYSTERICAL words. No, I don't find bathroom humor funny.

1. Would you say that your child/ren has more whites, lights, or darks regarding clothing? Can that color take up a whole wash? 
   
   Eli probably has more darks at this point and Lex more lights. We don't separate their clothes from ours, but if we did we probably could still do a whole wash.
   
   
2. What is your child/ren's favorite breakfast? Beverage? Fruit? Veggie? Meat?  
   
   Eli likes grape nuts with plain yogurt and fruit for breakfast, or eggs. He only drinks water, breast milk and cow's milk, but seems to really like all three. He loves all fruit, but I think blueberries are is favorite. Spinach is probably his favorite veggie.  Lex likes pancakes or eggs or Kix for breakfast. She only drinks water, breast milk and formula. She loves all fruit--I think blackberries might be her favorite though. She doesn't seem to have a favorite veggie--seriously, this kid just likes to eat she doesn't appear to care what it is that she is eating
   
   
3. Does/do your child/ren get jealous of your display of affection to your DW/DP? If so, how do s/he/they display it?
   
   No, Eli gets really happy, but wants to be part of the hug or kiss too
   
   
4. What are your views on TV and computers in the classroom?
   
   Depends on the age and the use. I think that they can both be great educational tools if used right--but we are definitely still in the no screen time ages.
   
   
5. If your child/ren watch TV what is their favorite program?
   
   N/A
   
   
6. Singing and dancing children in this audience?
   
   Eli has just started singing and dancing on command--so cute. Lex loves music and bobs up and down during the singing at church.
   
   
7. Does your child prefer to be barefoot, socks only, sandals only, shoes only, or socks and sandals/shoes?
   
   Barefoot or in our shoes
   
   
8. Those with daughters, can you tell if she will like clothes/shoes/dressing up? Do you foresee her as a diva?
   
   Oooh, too early to tell.
   
   
9. Those with sons, the same question as eight, but do you forsee him as sensitive?
   
   I think Eli is a little sensitive. He likes to do as much of his own dressing as possible, but doesn't seem to care what he is wearing.
   
   
10. And last, but definitely not least, how does your child/ren react with a poopy diaper? Runs from you when you go to change him or her? Demands that you change it right away (crying would fall in here)? Could care less?
    
    Pre-potty-training, Eli didn't really care. Lex wants to be changed STAT!

Bonus question:

If your child can talk already, is fart or burp part of his/her vocabulary? Is it funny or is it serious? Do you not say anything? (How much of a kid are you when it comes the passing of gases *smile*? )

Not yet, but we are right on the verge of this with Eli. I think it is funny, but we are trying to watch what we say around him.

I hate  potty humor. This is going ot be a big issue I think.

2mommiesinoh

1. Would you say that your child/ren has more whites, lights, or darks regarding clothing? Can that color take up a whole wash? I would say it is a pretty even mix. I could seperate and wash them as individual loads but only because I have one of those front loading water saving washers so it self regulates water based on load size BUT I do not want the hassle so it all goes in one load by itself.
2. What is your child/ren's favorite breakfast? Beverage? Fruit? Veggie? Meat? Ky likes bacon but she really loves her cereal with milk. Milk hands down favorite drink. She loves ALL fruit but has been showing a soft spot for pears lately and mandarin oranges. She likes corn and peas but will eat any veggie even lima beans and asparagus. Meat is hit or miss but ground beef is about the only one I can consistently get her to eat.
3. Does/do your child/ren get jealous of your display of affection to your DW/DP? If so, how do s/he/they display it? Nope usually she wants to join in the hugs and give us kisses.
4. What are your views on TV and computers in the classroom? Not until they are a bit older for tv and only educational/content related short programs. Computers I would be okay with earlier.
5. If your child/ren watch TV what is their favorite program? I would not say she really watches it but I will admit usually the tv is on in our house. I will put on Veggie Tales a lot which she loves to dance to and she may stop for a minunte or two if a song is on but other than that she ignores the tv.
6. Singing and dancing children in this audience? Ky loves to sing and dance. She jammed out in the mall the other day while I was looking at sunglasses.
7. Does your child prefer to be barefoot, socks only, sandals only, shoes only, or socks and sandals/shoes? Barefoot! She loves her "soes" but only to carry them around. She will leave them on in the car though which makes me uber happy.
8. Those with daughters, can you tell if she will like clothes/shoes/dressing up? Do you foresee her as a diva? Ky is at that mimic age so she imitates what she sees us doing and since 90% of the time she sees me getting ready she likes to brush her hair and put on make up and steal my jewellery. If she saw dada getting ready more I think it may be different.
9. Those with sons, the same question as eight, but do you forsee him as sensitive?
10. And last, but definitely not least, how does your child/ren react with a poopy diaper? Runs from you when you go to change him or her? Demands that you change it right away (crying would fall in here)? Could care less? She is starting to get to the stage where she wants it off. She starts pulling down her pants and grabbing herself. She does not mind being changed but she hates putting clean diapers on. She is a nudist *sigh*

Bonus question:

If your child can talk already, is fart or burp part of his/her vocabulary? Is it funny or is it serious? Do you not say anything? (How much of a kid are you when it comes the passing of gases *smile*? ) Ky cannot say any of those words yet but I have a feeling we will have a hard time not laughing the first time she says them. She can already say boobies and butt which I just sigh and let go now because at least she can name LOTS of body parts...

ctbride08

1. Would you say that your child/ren has more whites, lights, or darks regarding clothing? Can that color take up a whole wash?  Mostly darks but we don't seperate anything.
2. What is your child/ren's favorite breakfast? scrambled eggs Beverage? all 3 only drink milk (almond for RB) and water. Sprout's fave is chocolate milk. Fruit? bananas Veggie? cucumber Meat? chicken - preferrably nuggets!
3. Does/do your child/ren get jealous of your display of affection to your DW/DP? If so, how do s/he/they display it?  not jealous, but they want to get involved.  Sprout will try to get in the middle of the hug and every time RB sees us kiss she will say "I love you so much!" or "Tiss (kiss) me too!"
4. What are your views on TV and computers in the classroom?  Computers, yes. TV no.
5. If your child/ren watch TV what is their favorite program?  Sprout watches very little TV - his favorite is probably Super Why or Inspector Oso (he has a very limited selection).  N/A for the girls.
6. Singing and dancing children in this audience? oh yes, dance parties are a regular occurence.  RB has been taking music classes since she was 13 months old and dance since she was 18mo.
7. Does your child prefer to be barefoot, socks only, sandals only, shoes only, or socks and sandals/shoes?  none of them seem to have such strong preferences.
8. Those with daughters, can you tell if she will like clothes/shoes/dressing up? Do you foresee her as a diva?  Please. forget 'foresee' - RB IS a diva.  She's been picking out her own clothes for ages.  I cant take her clothes shopping with me because she will grab every animal print item in the store and insist I buy it for her.  Thankfully her sister seems much more calm in this department.
9. Those with sons, the same question as eight, but do you forsee him as sensitive?  He cares about clothes - and he's sensitive - but i see them as 2 seperate things.
10. And last, but definitely not least, how does your child/ren react with a poopy diaper? Runs from you when you go to change him or her? Demands that you change it right away (crying would fall in here)? Could care less?  I dont remember either of the girls caring much.

Bonus question:

If your child can talk already, is fart or burp part of his/her vocabulary? Is it funny or is it serious? Do you not say anything? (How much of a kid are you when it comes the passing of gases *smile*? )  We call it 'toot' in our house and RB has dubbed burps as "mouth toots".  Its cute   At this point there is no silliness with the potty talk (RB doesnt get it as funny yet so Sprout has no one to share the humor with) but we treat it as nuetral.  Nothing wrong with talking about it in the right context and environment.

 

Two*True

Would you say that your child/ren has more whites, lights, or darks regarding clothing?  More darks/colors  Can that color take up a whole wash? Yes.  However I'll throw her colored bath towels in there too. Or throw in some of my clothes sometimes.

What is your child/ren's favorite breakfast?She has eaten a banana almost every day of her life (well since starting solids).  Right now she also really like whole grain blueberry waffles (plain, no butter or syrup).

Beverage? Water.  Juice is a treat and I only give it to her very watered down.

Fruit? She isn't picky when it comes to fruit.  However, blueberries are her crack.

Veggie?Hmmm...technically tomatoes are fruit, huh?

Meat? Chicken

Does/do your child/ren get jealous of your display of affection to your DW/DP? If so, how do s/he/they display it? Yes.  She finds it funny though, not upsetting.  If we are hugging she usually runs over and says "ug, ug."

What are your views on TV and computers in the classroom? They both have a place and a time but must be used appropriately.  And for me it depends on the age.  JB has neither in her class room but I won't care if she gets a raining day movie when in grade school.

If your child/ren watch TV what is their favorite program? TV is limited for her but she LOVES Signing Time.  She requests it constantly but signing "Signing Time."

Singing and dancing children in this audience? She definitely claps to music.  She'll sing with K.  And she dances a lot.

Does your child prefer to be barefoot, socks only, sandals only, shoes only, or socks and sandals/shoes? No preference.  She is opinionated about which shoes she wears however. 

Those with daughters, can you tell if she will like clothes/shoes/dressing up? Do you foresee her as a diva? See above.  She cares about shoes. The rest of her cloths, not so much yet.

And last, but definitely not least, how does your child/ren react with a poopy diaper? She tells me she has poop.

Runs from you when you go to change him or her? No, she had that phase but it seems to be over.  Particularly since now she is PTing.

Bonus question:

If your child can talk already, is fart or burp part of his/her vocabulary? Is it funny or is it serious? Do you not say anything? The words are not part of her vocab.  But if one of us (including her) farts she says "poop" and laughs.
