After five years on Hudson Street, Doodle Doo’s, a children’s hair salon and boutique, is moving to Christopher Street in November. Why? “We’ve simply outgrown our space,” says owner Dana Rywelsky. “The space on Christopher is beautiful and it’ll give us more opportunities to expand.” For example, at the new 1,800-square-foot digs, she’ll be able to host birthday parties without closing down the entire store. The West Village mom also plans to add story hours and events for parents. And since the boutique is a huge part of Rywelsky’s business, expect to see an ever expanding selection of toys, books and cute clothing items.

From the school of Count Your Blessings: You’ve probably heard by now about the woman who gave birth to a 19-lb. baby.

If that isn’t enough to make you even more grateful for the healthy 7-lb. bundle of joy you delivered, our friends at the HuffingtonPost have rounded up a handful of other astonishing birth stories, including a baby with a birth weight of 8.6 ounces and a mother who became pregnant two and a half months after becoming pregnant; yep, two due dates two-and-a-half months apart.

When my daughter’s pediatrician suggested that she get the Gardasil vaccine, I was shocked. Isn’t that for sexually active gals, I wondered. While she’s had her share of crushes, my tween certainly wasn’t anywhere near having sex (just the thought of it sends me into a tizzy). Of course as we’ve probably all now heard, docs recommend this series of three shots, which help prevent cervical cancer and some HPVs, starting at age nine.

So here’s how the conversation went between me and my kid on our way to the doctor’s office.

“Why do I need these shots?”

“Because they will prevent you from getting warts that carry viruses when you have sex.”

“MOM! You’re embarrassing me. Keep your voice down.”

[Said in whisper] “You won’t get the warts that carry viruses.”

[Continuing the whisper] “What’s the sex part?”

“You get warts on your vagina from other people who have them.”

“I hope you realize that I am not having sex.”

“Ever?”

“MOM!”

“What now?”

“I don’t need this shot. Cancel the appointment.”

I explained that this was a preventative measure and she went along with it, but with the proverbial tween scowl. Between the shots, STD-HIV discussions in health class and the idea of sexual partners with warts, she’s thinking this whole sex thing might be better left untouched. Just wait until her teen hormones kick in.

It may not feel like Spring yet, but that doesn’t mean you and your brood can’t go green this weekend. Acclaimed jazz musician Hayes Greenfield performs a concert on Sunday at the Highline Ballroom in Chelsea, where he sings tunes from his album of the same name, all about being environmentally-friendly.

The show is just in time for Earth Day (May 20th), a gentle reminder to keep the planet in mind as we become A/C-dependent with the approaching summer months. Though rain may loom in the sky, your kids will likely leave Hayes’ performance with a little bit more of an appreciation for Mother Nature, and maybe even inspiration to keep their rooms clean (for now!).

Williams-Sonoma recently launched a new part of their Website–just for kids! I’m obsessed with pretty much everything on it. From this rocket spatula (only $9!) to the PB&J spreader, everything comes in cool colors and is the right size for tiny hands. Oooh, and don’t miss the Learning Tower. The device totally solves that where-to-put-your-helper when you’re cooking problem. Sitting on the counter? Not so safe. Standing on a chair? Too much worrying about falling off. This thing? Genius.

Plus, the site has fun cooking projects, yummy-sounding meal plans, cool Valentine’s Day cupcake ideas and more.

Check out the site at wskids.com and let me know what you think about it!

Jaime Lynn Spears isn’t the only kid getting knocked up these days. According to The National Center for Health Statistics, 414,593 babies were born to females between the ages of 15 and 19 in 2005. The number of babies born to teens increased 3% — to 41.9 births per 1,000 girls — between 2005 and 2006, according to USA Today.

In Texas, school officials aren’t trying to combat the problem by teaching abstinence only–or even safe sex education. Nope, as reported by the Houston Chronicle, if a plan passes this week, Texas health teachers will be required to add parenting lessons and paternity awareness to their curricula by next school year. Courses would focus on relationships, money management, domestic violence, marriage preparation and paternity laws.

Although the proposed lessons are mainly targeted toward high schoolers, one Texas teacher thinks the new curriculum could be beneficial to middle schoolers, too.

Jean Smith, who oversees the teen parenting program in the Alief school district in southwest Houston told the paper, "It needs to start sooner, frankly, If they’re watching soap operas and movies and all of this by age 13, then they need to be exposed to what relationships are all about."

Is this curriculum something you’d want approved in your child’s school district? If so, what grade should it start being taught in? Talk back below!

No, we don’t always have potty mouths around here, but today the toilet talk was hard to stay away from. The city’s first pay-to-pee vestibule had its grand opening in Madison Square Park this morning. Made of tempered glass and stainless steel and about the size of a newsstand, the kiosk is the first of about 20 public potties that will soon inhabit our streets.

Gaining access is easy: A simple 25-cent deposit allows the automatic door to open, giving the toilet-goer 15 minutes to do his or her business, you know, in case your little one really, really, really has to go.

But(t)–see, the jokes are just too darn easy–the real question is whether these bladder refuges will be a hit with the barely potty-trained set. Despite our natural inclination to think the toilets are a bit creepy, they do actually sound more kid-friendly than not. The toilet is flushed with the press of a button (similar to an airplane), there are toilet covers available, as well as a sink, a mirror and a hand dryer to keep your children sanitized.

In addition, the toilet is equipped with plenty of safety precautions. First, whoever designed the high-tech port-a-potty must have children. The floor is equipped with a weight minimum and maximum. We’re entirely sure what the over-400-pound max is supposed to do, but the 45-pound minimum is genius for parents with tots who like to play hide-and-seek all. the. time.  The door will not lock unless the person inside weighs more than the minimum, meaning little kids are way less likely to lock themselves inside.

Despite the safety precautions, we’re still kinda skeeved out by the whole thing–particularly the sanitary factor. There’s supposedly a disinfectant that sprays after each use, but… Well, what do you think? Are these bathrooms any different than ones at Starbucks? Would you take your kid to use one?  Tells us your thoughts.
