Hi everyone. The posts have been slow here at Kidzwire because I had and am still battling my first severe sinus and inner ear infection. I had no idea how debilitating they can be, and prior to this experience, I never understood how people could need multiple rounds of antibiotics to battle them. But here I am, slowly getting better, and still fighting it.
We will have more KIdzwire updates this week. I hope you are all have a good start to the New Year.

Happy New Year and Update Mon Jan 14, 2008 12:28 am
Hi everyone. I have been on a bit of a hiatus lately because we have had two deaths in my family: the first was my cousin and the second was my uncle - both on the same side. My children have not been able to help hearing about the deaths, and we have been fielding a lot of questions that were due to come at some point. It has been a real learning experience to work through their questions and answer them as honestly and as age-appropriately as possible.
We have a new year to look forward to as a gift from a higher power (or whatever belief you hold), and these events have helped me identify the noise in my life as a parent and treasure the precious moments we have with our kids. Happy 2008 everyone!

Sleeping Sat Dec 15, 2007 12:48 am
Hi all - I apologize for the hiatus in posts. I was doing the working mommy track at a conference, and then I immediately went to visit a terminally ill family member in Iowa (I saw Senator Biden while I was there). The family situation has prompted lots of questions from my kids about death and seeing people before they die. That being said, I am trying hard to keep my kids on a sleep schedule as we work up to these holidays. Here is an article I found interesting on sleep deprivation in children.
