Dr. Suess' ABC

Toys are not merely something to play with, toys are friends too. So when giving toys to children, it’s important that we give them something that can be an effective tool to develop our child’s motor skills. For example, an alphabet book can help any toddler master his abc’s, identify colors and some shapes and learn how to count. Simple and useful yet inexpensive. Another inexpensive toy which can truly challenge our kid’s imagination and creativity are puzzles. Though we have to be a little careful in picking the right size for our kids. We have to make sure that they are safe enough and our kids won’t choke on it.

My baby girl Sophia at 2 months can appreciate mobile toys hanging by her crib. Soon she’ll probably appreciate rattles and other baby toys. So before buying that talking doll or motorized train, think about it and ask yourself, how will it help your child.

Gotta go and finish up reading infos about laser spine surgery and 10 more minutes, it’s time to pick up Ate Alyssa from school. Ciao!

the sisters... Alyssa and Sophia

My husband Mark is going to attend a costume party in 2 weeks and he needed a Hats for men just like what handy manny is wearing on that famous cartoon show. It was Alyssa’s idea that daddy dressed up as handy manny. It was also around that time that I dig up some baby photos of Alyssa and decided to upload them on my facebook account. She looks exactly like Sophia and both of my girls looked like their father. Sad but true hehe…so that made me go through all of our past photos. Alyssa’s newborn pics, my husband’s and even our old photos together. It was like strolling down memory lane. And to give you a glimpse of what I was talking about, here are some of our baby photos. tee hee!

Mark as a baby

...and of course ME

Lullaby and good night, in the skies stars are bright. May the moon’s silvery beams, bring you sweet dreams….

...you are mother's delight

What else would be a soothing way to put our little ones to sleep than playing a lullaby to calm them when they c ry or fuss. So far Sophia likes it when I put her mobile on and soothing music comes out of it. When Alyssa had to missed school for a day because of a toothache, these songs calmed my big girl and helped her fall asleep. I have the Sleep Baby Sleep CD by Nicolette Larson, Baby Einstein and Return to Pooh Corner. Youtube’s Fisher Price selection of lullabies are also nice and would sometimes play them as well. Here are Sophia’s sleeping pictures…aww I just love staring at her.
Meanwhile hubby and a friend are trying to figure out how they can use his apogee jam on his acoustic Yamaha. They’re going to make music with it and hoping Sophia will like it too.
