Noggin is a channel for toddlers/preschool aged kids on TV. It will pretty much melt an adults brain after about an hour of watching it, but Chloe and Claire love it. When their favorite shows come on (Blue's Clues, Jack's Big Music Show, The Wonderpets, etc) they are glued to the TV.
 
Their favorite part is in-between shows when this cartoon Moose guy comes on and sings songs. They dance around and try to sing along.
 

Everyone has been telling me at work about local communities having twin clubs and I was told there is one in my local community but I've been searching and have been unable to find a link to them.  If anyone has suggestions on how to go about finding them it would be great because I am interested in getting connected with some for feedbacks and eventually when my girls are older establishing playmates and stuff which I know they do from what I'm told.  Also if anyone has joined groups please provide feedback on your opinions if you've had good experiences and would suggest joining them.  Thanks.

Hi my name is Kim and I am 17 weeks along with boy/girl twins. Yikes!
This my first pregnancy ever (and last) and I would love some advice on how many items I should be getting two of.  We are starting to think about our registry and need to know what exactly to register for in duplicate.  First of all is the crib or cribs?  I hear different things like they sleep together for the first 6 months.  Then others say it was the first 6 weeks.  Should we just bit the bullet and buy two cribs at first?  I know about the discount at Babies R Us. I think what I have read is to get two bouncers, swings, highchairs and obviously car seats.  Then only one pack n' play.  Does that sound right? 
With a boy and a girl how do people decorate the room?  I was think just something with bold colors and not gender specific.  But do I buy two of the same of the bedding?  Gosh I have so many questions?
Any advice would be greatly helpful.
Thanks.

Hi I have twin boys that are 3 1/2 years old. One is very attached to me to the point that I cant sit by myself. He is also very jealous if the other one gets any attention. Example; One was sick with a high fever  so of course he was getting more attention. The one that is jealous kept trying to sit on me and his brother and push him off. I know jealousy is normal and Im ok with that. Its just that his attachment to me is getting more and more. I teach so in Sept. I will put the boys back in daycare and Im nervous about how its going to be. Last year I cried my eyes out watching him cry and be pulled off my leg. I was wondering if any of you have gone through this and if you have any suggestions on how to deal with this. I have started bringing them once a week to ease into school. I guess its the times we are home is where I need the help. Thanks

One of our twins was just put on Similac Alimentum for reflux and for him to digest easier, any suggestions how to go about affording this at $26 a can?  We have some coupons but $5 only gets you so far.  What can we do?

My boy/girl twins are 6 weeks old and want to be fed every 1-2 hours then only sleep for 20-60 minutes. We've tried everything to change this. Is this normal?

Hi, my twins are 5 weeks old and I am going to have to goback to work soon. My problem is that I am not getting any sleep at night because the twins have become night owls. They sleep all day long and want to be awake and entertained at night. I have no idea how to get them onto a different sleep schedule. It seems that when i get one to sleep the other wakes up, even though they eat around the same time. Thanks so much..
