Ideas for putting both kids in the same room?

Q. We are expecting #2 in May 2012 and we want to put them both in the same room. Any ideas about getting this all together? The room is fairly small but there is room for two beds regardless. At what age is best to start having baby sleep in the room? My son will be 3 once #2 is born :) I'm also trying to come up with a plan for the layout of the room.

A. We have two babies (20 month old son and 5 month old daughter) they share a room. Its suggested babies should sleep in parents bedroom until six months, however i've known people to put baby in their own room from birth! We chose to put our daughter in the same room as her brother when she was about 3 and a half months. One reason being you're a lot more confident with your second (with our first he was in our room until about 8 months, we were too scared to move him into his own!) also she was waking every time we came to bed, otherwise she wouldn't have woken up so we knew if she was in her own room she'd have undisturbed sleep.
Our kids room isn't the biggest room known to man, we have a cot bed on each side of the room, a good distance apart so that if our dear son decides to throw his beaker from his cot it won't hit her! When our daughter wakes up occasionally through the night our son doesn't wake up, he could sleep through an earthquake. However when one wakes up in the morning the other one automatically does, where as when they were in separate bedrooms one would sleep a bit longer than the other.

Help with a display case for home care month?

Q. We have been chosen to do a display case for home care month. I am just looking for some creative ideas. We are thinking about doing cut outs of newborns, kids, adults, elderly, and all type of housing environments. Along with some FYI's about home care and thank you letters. Any creative ideas???

A. ...as I am now up to my eyeballs in elder care, within my Dad's home, might I suggest a layout which would stress ambulation by whatever means necessary to assure that the patient has skin protection from decubiti. I would start with a flow chart that might include Get up, get out of bed, dress, get to kitchen, eat breakfast, get to sitting room, entertain visiting nurse, get to kitchen eat lunch, nap, get up to reading room, read an hour, entertain bath aide, get to kitchen, eat dinner, get to sitting room, get to bedroom and get some sleep- At each point along the way, have representative devices and tools that make the job easier.
You might have representative styles of walkers, wheelchairs, seat pads, OT adaptive aides for dressing- you get the idea. Stress the need to maintain function, making the patient do what they can, rather than doing things for them. Stress safety. Stress mental health of care giver. Stress the value of care within the home, as opposed to nursing home care. Stress the ultimate satisfaction a care giver can find in the lucid moments.

How much do guns cost? For instance a shotgun versus a handgun?

Q. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100105/ap_on_re_us/us_burglary_killing

Being a new homeowner, this is one of my biggest fears (someone breaking in my home). I know you have to pay for the application and gun class, but how much does a gun cost?

Do you need a permit for a gun that's in your home, but not intended to be taken outdoors?

A. first of all there's about 60,000 gun laws in the USA so local laws may have an impact. generally speaking you can own any legal long gun anywhere without any permits or registration needed. pistols are a different matter. some states allow them any time ot place with no papers. others [NY] demand a permit with background checks and registration for both you anf the pistol. the good news is that unless you are willing to spend a lot of time at the range a pistol is perhaps not the best choice for home defense. a lot depends on your house [ construction, nearby neighbors, family members, location of doors, windows, bedrooms etc.] so you will have to look things over. as a general rule a shotgun is the weapon of choice for home defense. they are very intimidating and the KA CHUNK sound of a pump gun chambering a round is often times all that is needed to resolve the issue. a decent used pump shotgun can be had for $150 and up, new add a hundred. there's a bunch of books and videos on this issue. you need to study before you come up with a plan. a few lessons on gun safety and handling would be a good idea. things to think about 1 can you pull the trigger and kill to defend your family [this is a big one. you have to have the right mind set to use a gun. bluffing will only get you killed] 2 legal issues involved with lethal force. [people will say "better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6" but its better yet to avoid both, know the law] 3- as noted layout of your home and neighborhood need to be considered. 4- your [and your family members] physical abilities these will narrow your choice of weapons. 5 - ages of kids effects storage of gun. 6- once you choose a gun you need to pick the best ammo for it, expert advice here. 7- practice is needed both at first and later plan to burn ammo on a regular basis. shooting is a perishable skill. 8 - learn weapon retention tactics and how to use your gun as a striking weapon. a good buttstroke can end the problem and may save your life.
i commend you for deciding not to be a victim and hope you are willing to do what it takes to defend your home. study, learn, practice, plan,.and prevail.
