We don’t give our toddler too many toys; we much prefer that he has a few that he really likes and not clutter him with too many options.And even the ones we assume he’ll love aren’t hits with him; for instance, I bought him a toy phone thinking he’d love pressing the buttons and pretend [...]

A few weeks ago, my family and I visited a children’s museum that could have kept my toddler’s attention all day long. He opened and closed the doors to a bus, inserted circular discs into slots, floated boats on water and pushed a bazillion buttons. The museum was an amazing place for my toddler, and [...]
My toddler has been subjecting Morris the monkey to eat play dough “sweet potatoes,” complete with a bib that he insists the poor monkey wear. He will also tear the play dough into pieces, just like how his mom and dad dice or mash his food for him. And of course Morris’ meal isn’t complete [...]

So in true C&C Music Factory style, below are LO’s things that make you go, “aww…” My little prankster So I’m walking with LO towards the kitchen and decide to make [...]
We received a big shipment of diapers this past week, so what better way to make use of the boxes than by letting LO go at them? He colors on them, opens and closes the flaps, and with this huge box we have, made what he calls a “cave” out of them. First he pushed [...]
