Have you ever sat down on the floor with your baby, toddler, or preschooler? They are looking to you for pure entertainment. What is a mom to do? You could turn on the stereo, pop in a lively CD and dance around the room for them, but the thrill of that would last maybe a minute. There are actually some fun games in which to engage with your young child.
Remember Peek-a-boo, This little piggy, Pat-A-Cake? And what little girl would not love it if you played Doll House with her. The Velcro Linkie Picture toy is one they will love as babies.
Whatever you do with your child, just have fun. Before long, the one-on-one games in which you engaged with him or her will soon be left behind.

Grab your coat and get your hat, oh yes and don’t forget that OiOi Diaper bag, leave your worries on the doorstep, life can be so sweet, on the sunny side of the street! Can’t you hear that pitter pat? And that happy tune in your step, life can be complete on the sunny side of the street! I used to walk in the shade, with the blues on parade, ( oh those baby blues after we gave birth to that newborn babe) , but I’m not afraid, because this rover has crossed over! And if I never had a cent I’d be rich as Rockerfeller, with the little ones at my feet, on the sunny side of the street!!
Baby Blues? Most new mothers will experience some blue days after the birth of their newborn. This chemical change usually passes in a few weeks, but if your having those weeks turn into months be sure to check with your doctor!

We can talk about all the options women have today, but our own personal choices are rather limited. There are seasons in our lives when we feel “stuck” and don’t have all the choices we would like to have. Mothers of young children, especially mothers with newborn babies, go through periods when the most basic choices are –when they can eat, sleep, or go the bathroom—because they are determined by someone else’s schedule and needs!
We can not always choose our circumstances but we can always choose our response to our circumstances.
So new mom, old mom, or even inbetween, although your options may be limited at this time in your life, respond in the positive and choose to be content in the moment your in!

We are responsible for training our children with the best of our hearts and minds, but mistakes, failures, genuine disappointments, and a child’s choice may change things drastically. They’re part of life, and I’ve found that it helps to plan on their coming to pass!
From time to time, young and weary mother, you are going to yell the wrong response, attack when you should be still, lose any semblance of self-control, and make a first-class mess of things. But take Heart! One day you will say, “Well, what do you know? I did do some things right, after all!!”

Mom a great idea for a 1st birthday celebration is to have a Baby Einstein Birthday Party!! Baby Einstein is a collection of toys and activites that is based on the premise that babies are naturally curious and that infants will benefit from being exposed to real world objects, music, art, language, science, poetry and nature.
We have many of the Baby Einstein products at Brown Eyed Baby Boutique, some of these are the Baby Einstein Wacky Wilderness Wagon, and the Wet and Wild Baby Einstein Wagon. They are filled with fun interactive toys and gifts for your baby.
So when your little blessing turns ONE consider a Baby Einstein Birthday Party and let us help you with your gifts!!

Babies need a Baby Blanket to wrap up in your love and to keep them warm. Fill your home with love. The more love that is shown in your home, the less arguing, fighting, and bickering which is something no child needs to grow up with.
Babies need Baby Blocks especially building blocks of character that they need throughout life. Teach them those traits that will develop there into wonderful adults such as honesty, integrity, obedience, responsibility and respect.
Babies need a Baby Memory Book so they can look back at the memories you have recorded during their first years. Write things down you want to remember or journal them. Take pictures, but most of all keep all of these moments close to your heart. You will never get that time back so make the most of it because your child is a wonderful gift.
Babies need a Rubber Duck to remind you to have fun parenting. Being a parent can sometimes be hard but enjoy your role as a parent. Thrust yourself wholeheartly into it!!!

Baby sign language or baby signs are easy-to-do jestures that represent activties, emotions or objects.
Let’s say that you want to teach your 14 month old daughter to sign “drink” when she is thirsty, instead at whining while you guess what she wants until you get it right. Here are a few tips for starting:
1. Observe that your child is whining and probably wants something - you suspect she might be thirsty.
2. You begin the guessing game. Do you want a cracker? Do you want a drink?….and when you get to “Do you want a drink?” be sure to sign “drink” when you say “drink.”
3. She stopped whining and smiled when you ask her if she wants a drink, so you say to her, “Oh-you want a drink” and sign “drink” when you say the word “drink.”
4. She claps and smiles again as if to say, ” Yes, thats what i want, can’t you tell?
5. You take one of her hands, and say, tell me “drink” and you help her sign “drink” as you say it.
6. Let go of her hand, and say, tell me “drink” while signing drink and wait 10-15 seconds to see if she will imitate the sign for drink on her own.
Many mothers have taught their babies to sign, some out of necessity and some for a better understanding of their childs needs.

“All over the earth they are swaying, the nests where the little ones lie, and the faces—black, brown, white or yellow, are watched by the Father’s kind eye.”
In addition to a general tiredness that runs through young mothers like a low-grade temperature, there is the subtle and overt pressure to be an achiever. The general idea is for women to excel, to work outside the home, to develop interests in other things, and to get involved in projects.
The suggestion to get out of the house and be fulfilled never comes at a worst time.
A study out says that there is evidence that by the time a child is six or seven months old, they know if they are loved or rejected by the way parents, adults, baby sitters or whoever, changed their diapers, fed, or handled them.
If this study about babies has a shred of truth in it, then I believe that the suggestion to “get out and do something for yourself” is not fulfilling anybody. On the contrary, it loses two people at least, the mother and the child.
So mom or dad, give some thought to what is really important at this time in your babies life.

Perhaps you are pregnant with your first baby. Or maybe you are pregnant and already have one child. Or, worse yet, you are pregnant and already have two babies under four years of age, and the stress of it all is beginning to eat you alive. You are quite ready to shout, “stop, world, i want to get off!”
Being weary emotionally as well as physically seems to be a disease with young mothers. Fatigue is the factor that makes most of us doubt our abilities, our sanity, and even our degree of spirituality.
The emotions and the body go through very radical changes during pregnancy. It is no wonder that immediately after giving birth, when we’ve abruptly lost as much as twenty pounds of baby and fluids, with the hormones at a very low level, and possible thyroid deficiencies, post partum blues really hit us. The apprehensions and responsibility of caring for an infant loom before us, and we’re at a loss to explain our feelings. We are profoundly overcome. One moment we cry, the next , laugh, and then we find ourselves talking gratefully of how glad we’ll be when the baby sleeps through the night.
You are positive this child will never be five years old. Those babies of yours will never toddle off to kindergarden, and you’re sure you’ll be forever knee-deep in diapers and formula, and fatigue.
Take heart dear mom, they grow up way too fast and you will sleep all night once again, but you will also miss the times you were close and needed, so enjoy these times and savor these moments with your babies!
