This past week Little B turned 2. Where did the time go? I swear he was just coming home from the hospital, learning to crawl, and jumping in the bouncer. Now he is running and climbing all over the place. He has definitely started to come into that two year old stage. Luckily, we hadContinue reading “COSI Birthday Celebrations”

The added educational incentive is just icing on the cake. There are times when I struggle to understand a word she is saying. SheContinue reading “Read to your child!”
Yes, my toddler does chores!
First off, my disclaimer. She does not do things that would be inappropriate and there is no chore chart for her to follow and earn stickers or rewards. She simply showed a lot of interest in helping out around the house, so we are teaching her ways she can feel important. At the ripe ageContinue reading “Yes, my toddler does chores!”
