Well, I can admit that I have not yet started teaching Master Paul to use a spoon and fork because I know it will be very messy. He will be 2 in 2 weeks and I know I need to start! I came across this on a blog and am going to try it tomorrow. Wish me luck...
Teaching a toddler to use a spoon can drive a mother to put her head through a wall. It is messy, and it is (for a long time) an exercise in futility. Try this......put a teaspoon-size dollop of peanut butter on a the high chair, give them a baby spoon, and let him go at it. Because it isn't runny, he will be able to have success much more quickly, and it's (slightly) less messy than practicing on, say, apple sauce. Mmmmm, and he will smell so good afterwards you might just eat him up!
This same blog had an interesting item. Paul and I went to the playground today at 4:30pm. HOT, HOT, HOT. After over an hour of running around, he was sweaty and his cheeks were bright red. This item would be perfect for a kid like mine who is always hot. And since we live in South Texas....where it is really hot! A Seat Chiller
The Seat Chiller is a revolutionary car seat cooler that is the brainchild of Baby Dagny's senior vice president, Natalie Prust, who came up with the idea after hearing her children loudly complain about their hot seats on a very warm Palm Springs afternoon. Seat Chiller is a one-size-fits-all car seat cooler made of vinyl, flannel, and flexible non-toxic ice packs. The concept behind the product is simple and very effective: Mom or Dad takes the Seat Chiller from the freezer and places it on the child's car seat before buckling in. The seat and its buckles are instantly cooled, the Seat Chiller is removed, and then the child can comfortably be placed into the car seat. You can take it with you to use when running errands with your children to keep the seat chilled between stops or anytime the car will be sitting in the hot sun. A Baby Dagny exclusive. Works great for strollers too!
Bonus: Mom and Dad love putting the ice pack under their legs to cool them off once they've cooled of the baby's car seat
