A Grandfather’s Love, Demonstrated in Freeze Pops

on
As the weather starts to break a bit, we make plans for Spring Break, and I book my kids in a variety of Summer camps,  I am reminded that this summer will be different because we won't have my dad to share the summer with,  My dad kept these on the rotation, in every flavor. Not even sure how he gets them now because I think they are the equivalent of "kid crack"--made with artificial coloring, flavoring, and sugar . To my kids though, these freeze pops were love and summer wrapped in a bow.

Mommy Mondays: Toddlers Are Fast Learners!

on
Our toddler goes on lots of adventures every week. She visits museums, parks and the Carnegie Library.  We send her to these activities so that she has adequate stimulation, is entertained, and learns how to interact with other children.  As an only child and first grandchild she runs the risk of getting slightly spoiled...

At 21 months, our motivation is mostly social development. However, it appears that she is learning a great deal of tangible information through these activities too. 
I got this picture of her as they were singing "If You're Happy and You Know it".  Apparently, the teacher said, "If You're Happy and You Know It 'Wiggle Your Ears'". Our eager little toddler, who is apparently a sponge for knowledge, wiggled her own ears without prompting. 

We didn't even know that she could identify her ears! It just goes to show that she is watching and absorbing everything.

NOTE TO SELF: No more bad words or potato chips for dinner...
