Daphne's Mumbles

Do you live far from your old folks? When was the last time you talked to your siblings? Do you remember the last time you look them in the eyes? Did you ever tell them you love them?

I live apart from my folks as far as 3,243 Kms, if not more. Their offsprings are all around the globe, without exaggerating, North America, The Island of Formosa, and the heart of the Peninsular. At the ages of 50+, they learn to manipulate their biggest nightmare in order to talk to me and kids "face to face" on msn. Whereas, our sista reunions always happen on our favorite venue, msn, again. Pretty witty lucky tho, folks came for us last month and had a meaningful trip down south of Formosa Island, before the furious Morakot swept away the happiness of thousands of family.

We're always busy, we always have more important things await. The globe never stop turning, and time never waits. I know it's pretty gauwet, but I love you, papa mama! I miss you dowseng, bigong and oushui! I'm coming back in November, wait for me!

Quieter Zzzzz Nights for Toddlers

(Above is an image from: www.realsimple.com)

If your child wakes up screaming inconsolably an hour or two after dozing off, she might be having night terrors.

Kids as young as 18 months can suffer from this unique sleep disorder that causes partial arousals from sleep, usually accompanied by piercing cries, says a new study in Pediatrics. Night terrors, which experts had thought primarily affected preschoolers, may be triggered by sleep deprivation, fever, and certain medicines. The researchers found that genetics play a role too. Fortunately, half of the kids in the study who had terrors at 18 months grew out of them by 30 months. While the episodes can be scary for you, your child won't remember a thing. Don't touch or talk to him during a terror - it can make it last longer, says Parents advisor and sleep expert Jodi Mindell, Ph.D. Just stay in his room until it's over to be sure he doesnt bolt up and injure himself.

BFF tips:

To make your child sleep even more soundly, put on a versatile onesie so that it covers his or her stomach during zzzz. BFF has the perfect PJs for your toddlers!

Kizclub--My Fav. English Site For Preschoolers

http://www.kizclub.com/index.html

Today I'm going to share one of my favorite English educational site for kiddos to our dearest BFFs--Kizclub. As a previous English tutor to preschoolers, I used to have very high demand for English worksheets and teaching ideas. Thanks goodness I had found this darling website with really useful props and printout games for preschoolers. Now being a full-time mommy, this site is helping me alot by filling up my Ethan's spare time, too! Take a look at it and you'll know why.


Here's one of the many stuffs we had printed out for Ethan.
He particularly loves this Alphabets puzzle set. All I did was printed out the black and white copies to have him color the pieces of letters for me. This could keep him busy one whole afternoon. Cut the pieces out yourself or have your kid cut them, if you're confident with their scissoring skills. Laminate them if you wish them to last longer. Lastly, cut out the laminated pieces and ta-dah. You could keep him busy another one whole afternoon, and educational!

Coolest - Cutest - Baby Beanie Giveaway

Ok, so I love to do giveaways of things that I am passionate about... because that's the most fun for me. To see someone else win something that I KNOW they will love, because I do. That is really the main reason I started La Bebe Boutique. I had a passion for baby stuff, loved buying baby stuff, and when I found something that was really cool- I had to tell everyone about it! So opening up a baby boutique is my way of "sharing" with all of you Mom's- what I LOVE best!

Ok, enough of that... so I was thinking of what I would do for our next giveaway and I'm so excited with what I chose. Born to Love has created the most darling baby and toddler beanies ever! There are styles for boys and girls from newborn all the way up to 7 years. Here is my little man, Merrick with his black beanie on when he was about 7 months.
