I know, this is old news, but I wanted to say...

We watched Daddy Day Care last night, and I was happy to hear one mommy say that she'd just weaned her son. The kids are all 3 years old in the movie.

The other vision was that as Eddie Murphy was sitting in bed "studying" for being a good Day Care provider, he was reading MOTHERING magazine!

I also thought that the admiration of one woman of the two dads who were staying home with their kids was great!

It's just nice to see this stuff!

I just saw Daddy Day Care for the first time last week, and I was going to post about the same thing, LOL!

I was sort of wondering if they were implying that extended nursing makes clingy children, though. Hopefully not too many people got that impression and more people will start to accept toddler's nursing as normal.

WOW that's really cool! I've never seen that movie, but kudos to the writers and directors for leaning towards the AP route. LOL

We watched that recently also and I noticed that stuff too!

I like that movie too. I really liked how he really worked on connecting with the children on their own terms. I think the writers must have AP'ed their kiddos.

The movie also had some points about food allergies and also covered a bit about healthy eating. Can't argue about that!!!
