As a mom I confess that it is so easy to shop clothes or anything for girls especially little girls. It’s a no sweat task for me. The picking and choosing is no problem, it’s just the time at times is not very favorable. There seem to be so many choices for girls. From their clothes to their hair clips, to their headbands, then down to their socks, shoes, sandals and even more. You just need to have lots of money to buy more than what’s needed for the princess of the house.
While we shop for our daughter /s, and even our hubby, there is one thing we totally forgot. Can you guess what is it? It’s that we forget to shop for ourselves. Right? We are so preoccupied of the things that will make our darling girls look so pretty, and we forgot that we too moms have to maintain our prettiness.
So next time you got out to grab things for your little girls, grab some for you, too!
Baby gifts are the perfect way to welcome a new family addition. If you want to make your gift special, for me personalized baby gifts are the best. There are some terrific products on the market that are also unusual and will be happily received by the new parents. By customizing birth announcements, baby books, journals, place-mats and other selections, you make your gift unique as well as helpful. Specialized birth announcements with the newcomer's name, date of birth, weight, length and first photo with cute added illustrations will be welcomed as the new parents are anxious to inform family loved ones and friends of the happy event. An adorably illustrated baby book or journal detailing the important milestones and pictures from the baby's first year will become a treasured keepsake and will keep those precious memories all in one place to be looked at and enjoyed for the rest of the baby's life journey. There are also sections for footprints, hand prints, weight and height from birth to one year old, first foods and much more. Laminated and durable place-mats that are easy to clean can be personalized with the baby's name and illustrated with Mother Goose characters, dinosaurs for a little boy, or with princess artwork at a royal tea for a little girl.
My Sam is very much interested of everything I do. Very curious just like any most toddlers of her age. Sure enough, she already know how to maneuver her iPad at her own pace, at her 22 months age now. She knows what phonics and educational learning app to watch. She likes to do it herself. Sarah knows how to increase and decrease volume and turn from one app to another, then tap the play button. She can even unlock the iPad. She likes imitating that Camping Peekaboo girl shouting, "Weeeeh". And every time my Sam knows a song played, she smiles and look at me, on the other hand if it's her first time encounter, she listen attentively. She amazes me. :-) She does best in handling her iPad. She can be on it like an hour or so (of course, I won't have her the iPad all day) and even carry from our living room to bedroom, good thing we have carpet and it has a protective case and screen (in cases of accidental fell and alike). And the very best thing is she's learning. Hubby and babylove even does their bonding by playing educational game like puzzle. It's a sweet thing. It's worth it.
Toddlers are fascinated with books especially those that have vivid and colorful visual prints and images. Engage her to browse at these books while you go on to read to her the adventures of little duckling or the classic Pinocchio. Remember, even though your toddler is too young to completely comprehend an entire story, this is a stepping stone in stimulating his imagination.
Attentive toddlers would have lots of “why’s” while you are reading books to her. If you get tired of the constant why’s, don’t simply fall back on “That’s just the way it is” or “Because I said so.” Instead, try to deflect them by asking her what she thinks. Her answer may amuse you, but mommy, try not to laugh at him/her. His/Her mind is really working in amazing ways as your toddler puts together what information she has about the world with a toddler’s fertile imagination. If you truly don’t know the answer, tell her the two of you can journey of finding it out together.
Great idea to ponder on, huh!
