Pregnancy and Swine Flu

Hi Moms, I am freaking out and need some advice.....I am a teacher in a school who has AT LEAST 2 confirmed cases of Swine Flu. My issue is I am 7 months pregnant, can't find a vaccine anywhere to save my life, AND...I work in a modular unit with only 4 classrooms, and that is where the kids have it are.

Son Needs Help with Phonics

My three and a half year old is a sweet little boy, but he needs some help with the way words sound. When he says fishy, it comes out as pussy. :/ I nearly died of embarrassment when he said, "Look mommy, pussies!" in Meijer. If anyone has any ideas of what I could do to help get his words to sound how they should, I would be really grateful to hear them; I am waiting on an application to YPS to get him enrolled in pre-school with their "special ed" area.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, A.

Ideas for ONE Goody-bag Gift for 5-Year-old Party?

A couple of moms and I are going in on a joint birthday party for our kids, who all turn 5 around the same time. We're looking for a good idea for a party giveaway, and like the idea of finding a single thing/toy to give the kids, boys and girls, vs. a bag full of trinkets & candy. Looking to spend $2-4 per kid, if possible. Does anyone have ideas?
