My son is 2 1/2 years old. He still sleeps in a crib, but is small for a portable crib. We would like to take him to the beach this summer. But what should I do about the sleeping? I know he could sleep in my bed, but I would like him to sleep in his own. Are there any good traveling beds for toddlers? Any suggestion?
Answer
You can get toddler air beds with attached sleeping bag. They are usually about £30ish, and come with different designs that I'm sure your son would love (cars, toy story ect..)
I advise you get an electronic pump though, as blowing them up by mouth can be a bloody nightmare!

Toddler playing with guns?

My 2 1/2 yr old wants to play with gun toys. I'm not sure how he developed an interest in them (he watches only non-violent cartoons like Dora the Explorer, Blues Clues, etc). Perhaps he picked it up from a kid at his daycare/preschool. Anyway, he makes guns out of anything -- he'll hold an L-shaped puzzle piece as a gun and say "bang bang" for example.
Now that it is summer, and hot outside, some of the neighborhood kids are playing with water guns...My son desperately wants to participate, but I am uncertain as to how I feel about it all. One one hand, I don't want to promote violence or make him think its okay to use weapons against other kids... On the other hand, its just water!!
Parents -- do you let your kids play with water guns or toy guns? Why or why not? I just don't know what to do about this situation with my toddler.
Answer
I don't see anything wrong with it, especially water guns in the summer. It can help build imagination. He's only 2 1/2, so he might not understand, but make sure you talk to him about the dangers real guns impose and that toy guns are fine, but real guns are not. If you guys keep a gun in the house for hunting/protection, make sure it's locked up where he has no chance of getting it, of course. It doesn't hurt to let him play with toy guns, but as he gets older, talking to him about the dangers a real gun can have will help make him aware that some things you just don't play with.
We played with guns when we were kids and didn't grow up to be homicidal, LOL. My dad had a rifle he kept locked up, and we knew about it but never touched it because my parents told us it was real and it can hurt/kill others.
