I went through the same thing with my son. He would go in and out of clingy phases which made finding a sitter very frustrating. Right now he's in an outgoing phase which is WONDERFUL. I think that part of my sons issue with being clingy was because his father was deployed to iraq from the time he was 6mo to 18 mo.  I think thats part of what made him so desperatly clingy.

Hi all, my husband is filipino and has sort of tried to teach me tagalog but I admit I', not always a good student. I really want my son and baby #2 to learn tagalog before they're five and am wondering what has worked for any of you. My son really like the video flash cards but I can't figure out how to make one so if anyone know please share your knowledge with me!

my husband is pinoy and I need help learning and teaching the language, any suggestions?

M ost Classical Feng Shui practitioners, (which I am) are wary of the newer systems that don't really on the I ching, time and date of birth and don't customize each consulation to each person.  The newer systems can be identified by there use of the bagua.

OK so I had mommy brain when I wrote this part, my two year old wanted my attention but now he's sleeping.
Classical Feng shui uses the I Ching, the Five elements of Chinese medicine, and a compass to determine which way your house faces and in what area each of the rooms are located. Your date of birth is used to determine your best directions which are then used to decided which is the best way for your home to face, what your sleeping direction is and where to place those water fountains to attract prosperity in your home.   The Other newer systems use a one size fits all strategy where everyone's welath areas, love areas ect. are all located in the same parts of the home. For example saying that your wealth area is in the left hand corner of the house may be true for some people but for others that particular area may be a disater area and it would be undesirable any thing realated to money in that are. Again a Classical Feng Shui  consultant would take the time to ensure everything is where it needs to be. 

just FYI for anyone thinking about Feng Shui, there are a couple of different techniques used, CLassical Feng Shui which is the oldest and most complicated, and Black Hat sect which was invented last century. M ost Classical Feng Shui practitioners, (which I am) are wary of the newer systems that don't really on the I ching, time and date of birth and don't customize each consulation to each person.  The newer systems can be identified by there use of the bagua.  For more information The Idiots Guide to Classical Feng Shui is a great book. www.qi-whiz.com, www.astro-fengshui.com and my blog at healyourhome.blogspot.com are other good sources of information. By the way my blog is still under construction and will HOPEFULLY be done by the end of the week.
