Parents warned about cough medicine

 

The FDA issued an advisory about cough medicine in children under the age of two. I know I have heard conflicting reports about this and have certainly given the medicine, so I share this as a concerned parent.... an important read.

I copy the following article directly from the New York Times on August 16, 2007:

Things will be great, when you're....downtown

 

We spent some highly enjoyable time downtown today. Pete was serving on a jury, so the kids and I met up with him at Ira Keller's fountain on our way back from the west side.

The fountain is a little hectic because it has all these different ledges and I was fearful the entire time that someone would walk into a deep section. Other than that, it was quite pleasant - tons of people were sunning and many were actually swimming in the fountain. I took the littles behind the waterfall which they liked even though it was too loud! » Read more

Browsing in Lake Oswego

 

Stopped by Meringe Boutique this afternoon. The place is amazingly cute - every item is worthy of a look. Great plase to browse(and buy, too, of course). I spend a lot of time looking at clothes for children that it is a treat to also check out some hip garms for women. I was quite enamored with the True Religion jeans for little girls. They are just so cute in that tiny size! Also some great shirts for fellas - not your standard tee shirts but not mini-dad either.
