comment What are some do's and dont's for an effective bedtime ritual?
@Konerak We have decided that the boys will probably share their bedroom, since it is only for sleeping anyway. At least while they are in grade school.

@Konerak So far the kids are only a year old (twins) so not yet. Our plan is that by that point we will have invested in an addition with an office/library. In it will will have desks/study space for each of us. I feel it is important that even though we have a small house each person needs their own personal space. For now though we are just working on not tripping over the mega blocks that litter our living room floor. :)

comment How do I make sure I don't mix up identical twin newborns?
Even now when they are only a year it gets confusing when someone puts that SuperMan pjs on the wrong boy. :)

You just need to make sure to rotate through it so that it gets used before it expires.

comment How do you teach a child religious views?
@HedgeMage I am sorry you feel that this is a repeat of prior answers. This topic is open to each persons views of it and minor differences in wording can be a big change in meaning. I agree that much of what I said could be a repeat of what others had posted prior. But, I did not feel that what I was trying to say was truly represented in the other responses. I do not post if what I have to say has already been said.
