Bleacher seats are some of the more expensive seats. They range from $22-$45 if you buy them originally. But since they sell out so fast, you'd likely need to buy them secondhand for a lot more (especially depending on how "hot" the Cubs are and who they are playing).

Don't know the bus/train price from 50th & S. Kedzie, I'd start at metra.com...

Hot Dog is probably $5 and POP is probably $4.

Holy CRAP. I actually have a bleacher ticket from the 80's. I'm scanning it this minute to show it. It was 2 dollars and it was opening day! I had 8 tickets, but only 7 of us went so I kept this ticket. I can't believe they could go from 2 bucks to over 20 or 40. I mean it's not like it was the 50's. It was the 80's.

Yep ... we went to see the Blue Jays many times in the 80's and paid $2 for seats!

We pay $6 for our minor league team here. Hot dogs are $1.25 and sodas I think $2. Taking the family to the ball games is one of the cheapest things to do around here and something we enjoy occassionally. But, if I had to pay that much, we'd never go, lol!

Naja, that is amazing. Even just 10 years later, (maybe even less) I was in my early 20s and went to a lot of Cub Games (I'd say about 1989-1992ish) and even then no way were the tix were even close to $2. Guess by then the bleacher seats became really trendy and expensive. My dh went to just about every CUB/CARD game at wrigley field when he was about 10 (around 1982) and he took a ton of photos. There are a ton of empty seats in his photos. You NEVER see any empty seats in Wrigley Field theese days... Maybe the 1984 Cub team changed things?? Maybe Harry Caray?? (When did he jump from south to north anyways??)

Spy, I just checked with my resident tax expert and he says you can definitely file yourself.

If you are keeping score, that would be 3 definite yesses and one logic says yes.

I say go for it! Goodness knows you're probably 10 times smarter than he is anyway.

You don't owe him anything if he hasn't done the taxes before you do them yourself. I think you should do them and then tell him you did so you won't be needing his services after all.

Early morning Julie, like 8 or 9? My nephew gets to watch it every once in a while and it's usually right after we get back to my house which is around that time. He's a huge Spongebob fan though so that's usually what I let him watch (he isn't my kid, but I do limit him on his tv time here just like my kids, lol.)

Last week it was on at 10:30 on Thurs and Fri. And maybe some other days as well. But now it seems like it has been replaced with what seems to be one of the most unappealing shows, Yo gabba gabba or something like that. Despite the fact that DCFS should be called on the parents of Max and Ruby, it is a really cute show... And as far as I can tell, it is not on Nick Jr at all...

Julie, I just checked my tivo listings and it has Max and Ruby scheduled on Nick on July 7th, 9th, 11th, and 14th at 7am. That was the only listings for it though in the next two weeks.

You're welcome Julie. I don't really like Max and Ruby (they're kinda boring, lol, but then I'm not a toddler) but everytime my nephew watches it, he laughs and laughs.

I guess I like it cuz it is so innocent. Guess they are kinda of boring. I don't understand how Ruby learned to be so responsible without any kind of parental guidance (other than the occasional visit from her grandmother) for so many years.

I am not liking how Nick Jr. has so few toddler shows. Since school let out, they are down to practically nothing (one wonderpets--talk about BORING!!, one Dora and one Diego. Oh, that newer chinese Dora rip off too. Other than that it is mainly older kid shows like fairly oddparents and Spongebob.

Oh well, we actually don't watch too much TV, but I like to tape stuff for when I want to get something done!!!

Max and Ruby are great for toddlers. They are nice friendly simple stories. Max is funny.

It's funny though how time passes. Now my kids are watching Hannah Montana and all of those shows.

My nephews not much of a tv watcher. He loves the tv, changing channels and turning it on, but like Dakota he just doesn't have the patience to sit there and watch it most the time. Except for SpongeBob, he loves Bob. He talks about Bob all the time. For his mom and me that's the show we put on when we need to get something done cuz yep, it'll keep him entertained for 30 minutes, but it's the only one he's like that with.

Is Mickey's Clubhouse still on in the early mornings on Disney, Julie? Handy Manny, Mickey and Friends and I can't remember what else was on. That's pretty early in the morning, 7 or 8. You might check PBS too, I have no idea what they have on for toddlers other than Seasame Street.

Disney does have some toddler shows, but they are typically over by 9 am!!! My sweet baby loves her mama and she sleeps til 9am or later!!! (So nice of her, isn't it? PLUS she'll take an afternoon nap!!!)

She is not like Ryan in that respect at all. He was up early and never took a nap, not even as a tiny infant. He'd cat nap for 15 minutes here and there, but that was about it. And until he was about 4, he would not watch anything on TV with the exception of a baby einstein video now and then...

Abby doesn't like much TV or videos either. Just Calliou and Max&Ruby. Oh Elmo too! Though she does seem to like Word World and Super Reader. She loves letters.

9am??? That is very nice of her, lol! My nephew doesn't get the chance to sleep late. His mommy works from home and starts at 8am, she has to get him up at 7 to fix him breakfast and get him dressed before she starts working. I pick him up around 8:15-8:30 (that's where spongebob comes in handy for her, lol) cuz their house is across the street from Kota's school. When the kids aren't in school, she drops him up at 7:30, so he has to get up a little earlier to be ready to come. Even when he was a younger baby, he didn't take naps unless I had to go out somewhere around 11 or 12 and then he'd sleep in the car.

With his daddy laid off right now he probably has a different routine. I watched him for a couple hours yesterday but it was much later in the day than normal.

He really won't watch tv much at all but if I turn the stereo on he'll spend hours dancing in circles around the living room. He reminds me so much of Kota at that age.

Eww Julie, you better watch it. LOL My youngest was a sleeper.... bed by 7:30pm, slept until 9 am, napped from 11am until about 3pm....she was like this until almost FOUR YEARS OLD. Wanna know why? Because she was stockpiling enough energy to make us dizzy for the next decade. RFLOL

Calliou cannot be on anywhere within my earshot, that kids' whiny voice makes my ears bleed. LOL Until we are comfortable with a particular show we always made a point to watch it with the kids so I was so glad when they graduated to mainstream Disney (Wizards of Waverley, Zoey 101, Lizzie McGuire, etc.)

I thought the Noggin channel for just for per-schoolers. My niece is 4 and that is the channel she watches. She likes Little Bill, Wow Wow Wubbzy, Franklin, and Little Bear. They also play Max and Ruby and Wonder Pets later in the afternoons.

My little guy watches Word World... talks about it all day long... even when I'm putting him to bed every night!!.. he'll say.. More Word World?? He just can't get enough of it..I have many recorded..

He watches a bit of Max & Ruby, Franklin & Little Bear... sometimes Hi5 but he only has a focus for Word World.

I agree Rissa, Calliou is such a whiner!! Really really whiny.

I would love to get noggin, need to check into the price of upgrading our cable... Or maybe get a dish or ???

Why do they make stupid shows like Gobba gobba goo or wonderpets??? Well stupid is my opinion, but it you think Calliou's voice drives you nuts, what do you say about the constant annoying singing of the not so "wonder"ful "pets"???

Some of my fav preschool shows are/were clifford, little bill, stanley, PBJ otter, max&ruby & word world.
