I signed up for lots of newsletters from different sites when I was pregnant, but I often find myself surprised by what they suggest to fix sleep issues, etc. I don't feel it is right to try to force a sleep schedule on my toddler, I work around her natural schedule (which fluctuates, as does my own). Just one example.<br /><br />BTW, I'm linking this post on my Sunday Surf this week... which will be up shortly (late).Momma Jorjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736034293320117257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024351871781886029.post-7638737699317480462011-01-03T23:45:14.695-05:002011-01-03T23:45:14.695-05:00@Meghan, thank you, I think they're pretty cut...@Meghan, thank you, I think they're pretty cute too :-) I remember thinking at five months, "Oh, babyproofing will be a breeze!" They soon taught me otherwise!<br /><br />@MommaJenn, we got lucky in that we moved to our new apartment before the boys became mobile. We simply set up the place with them in mind, although we did have some major readjusting to do after we figured out all they could really reach!<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!Mama Mohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08554633560302397335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024351871781886029.post-39818081923464749882011-01-03T21:30:42.162-05:002011-01-03T21:30:42.162-05:00Great info!

I'm sure my parents think our visits are always SO short, but I just get exhausted chasing our daughter down constantly.<br /><br />I recently read a stage update at BabyCenter or some other such website that said one of Sasha's new words must be NO and that she probably says it ALL the time. Um... nope. She doesn't say it, ever. We rarely tell her no. It happens from time to time, but generally we just try to supervise her with things that wouldn't be considered toddler-safe and get rid of things that are dangerous (that might mean tossing, giving away, or hiding them). My lower cabinets? pans and a bag of potatoes.<br /><br />I used to also include a small box of plastic bowls and lids. She loved them! We just got tired of them being EVERYWHERE. Most of them are in toy boxes now. It is crazy when I need one for lunch.<br /><br />Anyway, great post! I really need to let Sasha run free with some TP, I think. I don't usually allow that, for some reason.Momma Jorjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17736034293320117257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2024351871781886029.post-74127737086598913952010-12-30T14:43:19.358-05:002010-12-30T14:43:19.358-05:00I don't mind at all!

Thanks for the great reminder! I was just asking my husband last weekend if he would plan to help me go through all of the cabinets and cupboards in the house next weekend to make sure everything at our daughter's level is okay for her to play with because I somehow doubt she's going to send us a memo before she decides to start opening cabinets. <br /><br />Not only does taking this approach set us up for success as parents, but it's respectful of our children and their need for an environment that is truly theirs to explore.melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16698231692999838673noreply@blogger.com
