We have 2 Tripp Trapps--one American market one and a German market one. Neither one has a "high back" adapter. The American one has a plastic rail that snaps on and a harness. The German one has a wooden rail and leather strap like the PP mentioned. Personally we only used the rails and rarely used the harness. It's doesn't really tighten or ride properly on the child so I think it's more of a danger than anything else. I really like the rails though.
You might want to look into minimizer bras for your DD if her breasts are more prominent than she likes. They can make a big difference. I'm large breasted and embrace it now, but as a teenager I would have preferred a smaller bust!
A drained pool is as dangerous as a filled pool (falling hazard), so your only option is to fill it in. Unless you absolutely love the house and are willing to pay to have the pool filled in, I would just look elsewhere.
Keen makes shoes with very good arch support for adults--I assume that their kids shoes would be the same. My DH who is a runner (runners are obsessed with arch support) swears by them for his every day shoes.
I'm having a bit of internal debate, so I'd appreciate any insight. DS is at a transitional age regarding birthday parties (turning 4). In the past we have always invited families, not individual children to our parties. It worked out well because we have a fairly tight group of friends which children around the same age. The parties were time for the adults to hang out as much as it was for the kids to celebrate. However, DS is getting to an age where he wants to...
I'd probably just give them a look like they were insane, but I'm not sure I would say anything. I do hate the smell though, so I'd probably leave if it was a small park and no way to really get away from mit. To be honest, I'd be more worried about a kid getting burned than breathing in the smoke, so perhaps I would approach it that way..."Excuse me, but could you put out that cigarette, I'm worried that a kid might accidentally run into it and get burned". I've...
Not generally, because: 1) It's too hot here (in the South) 2) A nursing cover is just one more thing to carry 3) It draws more attention to you 4) The baby always snatches it off anyway I did cover up just with a flat diaper the other day when I was nursing poolside at my friend's house, but that's because I had to completely expose one breast (I was wearing a bathing suit so I slid the strap off one arm). I wear a G cup while I'm nursing, so I'm not comfortable...
Ugh! I would be so annoyed. If I knew for sure I stayed in a place with bedbugs, I'd probably buy this and use it on everything before I brought it into the house: http://paktight.com/ I'm staying in a hotel next week and I'm so paranoid about bringing bed bugs home!

Good point about mudroom entry versus formal entry. I'm guessing since the OP was talking about hardwood floor, this was her front door. I would put a mat like that outside with a rug inside.
With DS, I froze in ice cube trays, although I didn't like it because of the plastic aspect, even though plastic generally doesn't leach when it's frozen (compared to being heated, etc.) Then I transferred the cubes into ziploc bags. I just made a bit of puree for DD (1 sweet potato worth) and made little mounds directly onto a regular Corelle dinner plate and froze it that way. Then I laid it on a hot towel to loosen and popped them off. I put them loose into a glass...
