I currently babysit for a friend who has a two year old boy who is very laid back and calm. My son on the other hand (20 months) is super active and a little crazy. They both play pretty well together however, I am constantly having to stop the figthting over toys as soon as one picks it up the other wants it. I know I can not fully break them of this, they after all are toddlers but what can I do to help?
Answer
There are some age appropriate toys that have multiple sets of things, which they can both play with at the same time. Or a project that they both contribute to assembling...something big enough that they can work on it without getting in each other's space. May I suggest Place & Trace by Discovery Toys...a set of three separate puzzles geared to their age. Give each boy one puzzle with its 4 pieces. They can complete the puzzle, use it to cut out Play Doh, or even cut out cookie dough and bake cookies in fun dinosaur shapes or transportation or house pet (each puzzle has a different theme). Often, an open-ended toy will be played with in different ways by different kids. That's what you need to look for.

Does your toddler have a favorite movie or tv show?

My daughter will be 2 on the 22nd of this month. About a month ago I bought the movie "We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story" and we watched it together as a family. Every day since she has wanted to watch it, sometimes two or three times a day (though I don't let her watch it that often in a day).
So do your children have a favorite? What age did it start at?
Answer
my daughter will be 2 next month and she LOVES Toy Story 3!!! She started watching it when it came out on dvd (probably several months ago now) and loves watchhing it ever since. She can point out Buzz and the potato heads and other characters she sees in stores and will repeat things they say in the movie. I personally thinks its a nice movie too :)
