How long does a bottle? signs of abating and other amenities

by

Him had a close encounter of the third kind with the bottle its first real day of life (indeed, no, it was the fourth, that the first three lovely companions snacks hospital me wanted to exorcise a forza di latte with TSP. .. but that’s another story …).

Are therefore now two years and one month the bottle Damblé sail for home, facing the challenges more gory, that Crusoe.


The first time our heroes were subjected to torture. At each end (so about every two hours) were filled with water, put in microwave and irradiated by electromagnetic waves not better identified. Filled with a strange white powder (… maybe the companions of snacks would not wanted to accompaniment was generally not All Shook Up as Tom Cruise, but a hysterical cry indomitable).
Once carried out their duty, were pupattolesco with a bong cleaner strinati washerwoman Ukraine under the Jet of boiling water, then put to lie in Our microwave steriliser, where for a few moments you can pull illudevano. And instead just then came the beautiful: closed the lid of the sterilizer, malefic were tucked in the oven, and for 8 minutes once cooked to the underworld in the stake of pressure steam.


This gruesome ritual lasted for quite some time, at least until weaning. At that point, as you put in your mouth Pupattola even the soles of shoes, we decided it was useless to do the whole rigmarole, and that a washing in dishwashers was more than sufficient to protect the little hungry from germs and bacteria.
When was fine, a cycle of “light Wash-cups and plates very dirty”, when bad was “heavy Wash crockery and pans-greasy and bisunte”.


Today, more than two years later, is now on the way Loyola College, and the bottle along with her. As two old war heroes, they realized that times have changed now, and that no one appreciates more pitched battles that have dealt with dignity and pride. Often, after the evening milk, Pupattola abandons them directly on the couch, after an unorthodox and even less rewarding (for baby) free belch. Clouded by the fatigue of the day, Aprovadimamma li collects with fatigue, opens them, tucks them four seconds flat under a gettarello of water, often pure cold and leaves them there to drain on the sink. The next morning, same as above, and the breakfast is eaten without glory and infamy.


These days though, I lent a compassionate look at my beloved baby bottles, and I noticed that one of them had entered into a phase that I define jaundiced-depression. In comparison with others, in fact, had a aspect yellow tending to which was very little hope.


Write to Santa Claus and Rhémy de Noel, I will respond!

by

A few weeks ago I spoke of Santa Claus, the real one who lives in the village of Santa Claus, where you can write to receive a letter directly from Finnish Lapland.
Today, we speak of two initiatives a bit more “local” means the of postini Babbo Natale and Rhémy de Noel, i.e. the Santa Claus of Courmayeur.
In both cases your children writing the letter to NATO from the red dress and white beard will receive a nice reply!
Sure, the envelope will not have the Finnish stamp … but I don’t think your little if they notice!


Let’s start with the first initiative: the postmen of Santa Claus.


This year I will collect the thousands of letters sent by children to Santa Claus. It is estimated that arrive over 130mila letters.
To read them, even this time, there will be the ‘ postmen of Santa Claus ‘, which will respond to all children by sending them a small gift.
Objective of the initiative, extending for over ten years now, is to bring joy to children and
surprise to receive a letter from Santa Claus, by making known to them the value of email as a means of conveying emotion and cherish.


The second, and equally beautiful, the initiative is to Rhémy de Noël, Santa Claus of Mont Blanc.
Small can post the message in the region directly in special cassette, entirely dedicated to mail Rhémy, positioned in the Jardin de l’Ange.


Children banned products abroad, but in common use in USA

in fact it can be dangerous, but it also depends on who uses it (I speak of adults): If there are no stairs or slopes or slopes it is obvious that the child should be controlled and closely, or that access to such areas is somehow prevented (the stairs a pound is morally obligatory until they learn to make them yourself to 3 years).
The same applies to support for the bath: If the stick in and leave it there while you go to another room to fre other can be dangerous, but young children never go lasicati alone in the water, because even a few inches can suffice to drown, even without that support them, jammed so the problem is not the supportbut those who takes no children always under control. That if you’re there please also to prevent tipping over, and if the shootings occur on the fly.
No?
(it’s a guess because I don’t use it, my children hold them “by hand”)


For the sunshade and cushions for bedtime instead agree that can be dangerous, because when you sleep you can’t monitor and therefore we must think all for securing children.
To me puts forward the idea that can bypass the cot in a few months, say.
I know that I will move in great, what goes under the bed of his brother and that is up from the Earth only about 20 cm …


The lie of Santa Claus

by

Your kids believe in Santa Claus?
And at what age is right to know the truth to children?
Andrew, almost 20 months, is still too small to understand certain things.
Of course, lives the party atmosphere, admired the crib notes and constantly tries to disassemble the shaft, but nothing else!
Santa Claus, the big big white-bearded, even fear.
But it is normal for children of that age.
Remember the first party at Mark’s nest. Children of the second and third year hard-on that they completely were for the arrival of Santa Claus. Those of the first year … exceedingly afraid.
Il mio piccolino refused to do the group photo with that “dude” and when he tried to greet him, burst into a desperate cry!
Luca idem. When he sees Santa Claus, if far is ok, is quiet, but when approaching … run!


Marco, now has become great, abundant, and 4 years to believe Santa Claus … and no!


In his head there. But that’s true, what flies sleigh pulled by reindeer do not see. All those found on the street are “men” dressed as Santa Claus. In short they are FAKE!
Last Sunday (maybe I have already told you!) a Santa Claus stopped him and asked: “what do you bring?”
And John replied: “you? And why should you get me a gift? “
Santa Claus there was terrible.
Then John added: “No, I don’t want anything because I don’t have space in your home. I don’t know where to put the toys “
Santa Claus opened his eyes. Then, aggravating the situation, he said: “don’t believe me? I parked the reindeer just around the corner! “.
he silenced telling him: “Coming from there, there are no reindeer. Go to control you. If you leave really well! I know that they run away! “
I don’t think someone before then gave similar responses.


I laughed like crazy under the mustache. If someone had told me a similar scene there I would have believed. Already I could not believe my ears. My son, shy stands, giving those answers!


He, however, a gift from Santa Claus, the real one, if you wait. Only one.
Still not decided which. But hopes of finding it on Christmas morning under the tree!


Last night I said, “Mom, how do we say to Santa Claus we grandparents? And then if he comes to our House and cannot find anyone? “
And I: “love, he is magic, knows and sees everything!”


But back to the original question: we are lying to our children and make them believe in the existence of Santa Claus or, if he asks, tell him the truth?


Children aged two to five years living in a fantasy world, populated by monsters, fairies, gnomes and elves. For them it is easy to believe in this magical character.


 


Baby consumers already small! What to do?

by

A few days ago  a comment that made me think much. We wrote: “this morning wanted to absolutely not Matthias a sweatshirt that I had chosen for him to go into asylum, as they are weeks that lot to put shoes more comfortable and just purchased. After various screams told me: “I don’t want this sweatshirt and these shoes because when I go to nest, Matthew tells me that my Jersey is not nothing and even shoes!”. In short the buddy takes around why does not every day a different Jersey Ben10, Spiderman etc. But I wonder: you can already start with these things in 3 years? Has only 3 years and already think of signatures? Absurd! “
Well, the latest issue of “Happy Children” I found an article that does for you and for all the Moms who are under the same conditions, i.e. who struggle daily with the “Baby-consumers“!
How to behave?
Rule number one is: “not fall into this trap“.
The child wants the latest model of a game? Or another package of figurines? All right! Here’s the game and the figurines. Basically, that’s wrong? Until you can … you do.
And then what? At first no, open sky. Hysterical, crying despair. It seems the end of the world.


Dear parents we lose sight of one important element: it’s tantrum!!
So what?


Then never say to your child “maybe tomorrow”.
“I buy? By buy me? Please Daddy buy me? ” To silence the child, in front of a mixed piagnucolii solicitation – sometimes (often) we tend to say “We” or “Tomorrow”. But this is not the way to eliminate the whim. It’s just a form to send it back. And when the child realizes that this is a lie, the authority of the parent and the value of his words are compromised.


Not good even resorting often to the policy of “do ut des”, meaning “If you buy the bravo you figurine”. If used frequently, this tactic might accustom children to want an acknowledgment for each good deed.
But then what can we do?
We can, indeed we must teach our children that desire is beautiful.
His desire stems from a lack. But if your child has everything what could want?
We leave small the joy of waiting and not riempiamoli items that may not have even ever asked.
Let us not forget that the child lives in the here and now. Its so big as birthmarks are ephemeral. Want a new game? You can answer: “Let’s see if home have something similar. If you don’t have anything like that then we buy “. In this way, you put the new game in relation to what is owned by the new obsession at all costs.


Never more than an hour of tv a day. Select programmes by limiting exposure to advertising, maybe using the dvd. The information that travels at the speed of light off the imagination and create false needs.
More leisure time and game free and spontaneous. In short, less structured games answered by the mass media but more space to creativity, to disguise, to magical powers which has of course every child who passes within seconds from one character to another.


And we end with a staggering: according to a report by Unicef British children are the most unhappy of the industrialized world, trapped in a cycle of compulsive consumerism.
The cause? Parents to forgive of them long absences filled with toys.
In short, “they all are unhappy”. But these small, in fact, they’ve all just in appearance. Interviewed children have admitted that to make them sad are not toys, but the time spent with family, especially outdoors!


 


 


Men mono-tasking

by

Yesterday evening has arrived home, I was greeted and made his debut with “Tomorrow I harbour the Pupattola asylum!”.
Not that I’m wary of departure (aehm …), but I know that Aprovadibabbo can do only 1 thing at a time, and bring the Pupattola asylum, especially on occasions like this, where there was to renew also the set for the change that was soiled the day before … Yes I know that there seems to be a triviality, but it is more than 1 thing!


In short, I decide to silence all my preconceptions and prejudices against him, ever which is my fault that I don’t know if he doesn’t then delegate knows muddle through. And so, sympathetic towards his great participation in school life of the child, Office of trust, I give you the benefit of the doubt.
Under caution, this morning I alleggerirgli the Office dealing with however I whole preparation: give her breakfast, wash it, change it, dress her up, etc. etc.
Meanwhile ask him 1 thing: “Please, get the shirt is purple on the drying rack, put in a bag, which is to bring asylum?”
Panic.
“Tshirt? … purple? … drying rack? … bag? … asylum?”
“Yes, dear. The only purple shirt which is the only clothes that we have. Put in a bag? Thanks “.


Meanwhile I finish preparing the Andrew, and when I leave him has already slipped the jacket and holding in a hand bag with a t-shirt, as saying “have you seen? are already ‘ ready! “.
“Ok, the Pupattola is ready. Hello. “and I give myself.
“Ah, no, wait, I take the phone” and rests on the ground the poor baby girl-paccopostale.


If there is one thing that I learned from when I have children, is that children should not be made to wait. You must be ready long before them, and when they are ready they part without a hesitation. But of course HE does not know.


Child Comfort by Beaba, to go to the supermarket with MOM

by

One of the problems of bringing the small shopping cart, holding it, is that often his indomitable instinct to bite pours on the cart. The handle in the mouth, however, is not really the maximum hygiene.
The same can be said of the car seat folding cart, where everything is leaned and all. In short, put the cart in the supermarket pupo equates more or less to make it roll on the ground, from the point of view of hygiene …


A friend tried the Child Comfort by Beaba, specially for this service.
When closed, fits comfortably in embedded shopper his (last photo below right), equipped with handles. So you can easily keep in the trunk of the car along with shopping bags.


When you need it, it extracts from the handbag (which remains attached) and it fits in the seat of the truck. As you can see from the photos, in the front there is an elastic belt that completely the cart handle, protecting both your hands of your child. The band also maintains the seat ben adeso to cart without risk that move or moves.
The rear is equipped with raised back one to cover as much as possible the baby on his back.


It’s strapsequipped, which can be used both for bind ulteirormente the seat Comfort to cart, which-if desired-to bind the child.


Handbag that the remains prominent on the front, side, MOM is useful for preserving the child’s scarf and hat, rather than the pacifier, the teddy bear, or any other thing to keep in hand.


The whole child, with the exception of the handbag, is coated in plastic waterproof outer side, in contact with the shopping cart. In this way, even if the cart was wet cuz maybe held outdoors, you won’t have to worry about to bathe the baby, thanks also to the plasticised coating.
Instead, everything inside the car seat is lined in cotton.


The only thing we found not to be able to do was keep sitting your child in that stage of growth that is not yet able to sustain itself well sitting alone. Does not support side then the seat of the child, but only protection against contact with the shopping cart.
