Express, History of April FooFs Day The history of April Fool's Day or All Fool's Day is uncertain, uncer-tain, but the current thinking is that it began around 1582 in France with the reform of the calendar under Charles DC The Gregorian Calendar was introduced, intro-duced, and New Year's Day was moved from March 25 to April 1 (New Year's week) to January 1. Communication traveled slowly in those days and some people were only informed of the change several years later. Still others, who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge acknowl-edge the change and continued to celebrate on the last day of the former celebration, April 1. These people were labeled "fools" by the general populace, were subject to ridicule and sent on "fool errands," sent invitations invita-tions to nonexistent parties and had other practical jokes played upon them. The butts of these pranks became known as a "poisson d'avril" or "April fish" because a young naive fish is easily caught. In addition, one common practice was to hook a paper fish on the back of someone some-one as a joke. This harassment evolved over time and a custom of prank playing continued on the first day of April. This tradition eventually spread elsewhere like to Britain and Scotland in the 18th century and was introduced intro-duced to the American colonies by the English and the French. Because of this spread to other countries, April Fool's Day has taken on an international flavor with each country celebrating the holiday in it's own way. So, no matter where you are in the world on April 1, don't be surprised if April fools fall playfully play-fully on you.

The answer is that baby's hearing is more sensitive than an adult's, so use common sense when exposing a child to loud noises. A good rule of thumb is if you can talk easily over the sound, it shouldn't harm your baby's hearing. Initially, your baby's response to sound will depend somewhat on her temperament Some babies are hardwired to be more sensitive; they may react more to loud noises than babies with calmer personalities. personali-ties. It also depends on what your baby heard while she was nestled nes-tled in the womb. Your baby has been listening to the muffled roar of your world since about the 24th week in utero. On the other hand, new sounds may startle an infant, causing her to cry. resources available for people with MS and how best to work together for optimal health.
