hi patreiche
my son was afraid of bath time so i got him these bath crayons that are formulated such that they wash off. now bath is a pleasure and he love writing on the walls of the tub. maybe that could boost your little ones interest in crayons. hope it helps

its a two piece puzzles matching the arabic number to the picture. they fit into each other like an adult puzzle. the pieces are big for a child though.
will give them to him again as i put them away for later and see what he does.
heres a song for finger exercises
shake shake shake your hands as slowly as you can (sing slow and shake slow) shake shake shake your hands as quickly as you can (sing fast and shake fast) wiggle wiggle wiggle your fingers as slowly as you can wiggle wiggle wiggle your fingers as quickly as you can pound pound pound your fists as slowly as you can (ball fists and place on top of each other) pound pound pound your fists as quickly as you can
teaches kids fast and slow and they roll over in giggles when you sing fast.

getting a baby turning toddler to brush his teeth can be difficult. he wants to do it himself but plays around with the brush in his mouth. i dont think his teeth get brushed and then i take the brush and he lets me brush for approximately 2 secs. im going to try the wipes. musical brush seems fascinating. maybe that will help

i would agree with your statement. the value of a life has been lost today and history keeps repeating itself. we must impart wisdom so that each child one by one can help change the world. fear of God would lead to wisdom. i think gratitude as well.

The avant-garde sailor jumped over dandelions near forest fairies. How can unicorns run sideways and frolick says Teletubby?! I always wonder if bouncing balls really vibrate? Do dinosaurs move around with rollerskates, over spiked branches, through green valleys overflowing with candy, probably fudge.
Alternatively, if calm prevails, therefore hope some thing will happen spontaneously. But blue eyes are really stunning with brown hair and pink lips, so are rosy cheeks .
All fairyfolk belong to communities delightfully

hi there.
you could also try randomising your words and changing the order around. you also want to make it something treasured and special. try coveting words and show your baby how exciting it is for you. im not sure if this is mean but try using it yourself infront of baby and as soon as baby shows an interest take it away. usually they want what they cant have. maybe in a few days your baby will then want it more. you also dont want to flood them with the slides and reader because then its not as special. they will probably get bored

that last pic is just too cute!!!
for baby's first bday we didnt do anything with people because we figured he wouldnt really understand so we just took him for ice cream which he loves and gave him a gift.
for his second bday i would like to have it at a party farm we have close by. they host parties and they have a petting zoo to entertain kids.
i think he will enjoy that

EARLY LEARNING / Teaching Your Child to Read / Re: TIME article on Teaching Your Baby To Read

you know i read an article about babies and reading in a mag called your baby i think about a year ago. the article discouraged moms teaching their babies to read. i was dissapointed when i read it because it could have turned so many moms away from teaching their kids. but then i think of all the moms that didnt even know that something like this existed. atleast by reading the negative sentiment it has made them aware that babies can read. its like when you push against something it comes back with an equal and opposite force and so does that negativity. from it you get believers.
i am in the process of recording my lo with his little reader lite. the star was being abit too dramatic and demanding today so will try tomorrow. hopefully he wont ask for a star on his room door or evian still water at room temp or scented candles.

i guess that when we impart knowledge to our kids we must not forget to tell them the wisdom behind it. an educated person may not have wisdom. i wonder if enhancing our kids problem solving skills will help lay a foundation for the attainment of wisdom or is only experience that does that.
