Favorite Park.....Andrew Brown Park

I visited this park for the first time and fell in love with it. It's great for children of all ages because they have a Tot Lot and a big kid section. There are lots of trees so there is plenty of shade. One of the best features is it is located just outside of the indoor aquatic center. If you get overheated while playing just go inside and take a dip in the pool. 😊. I'm adding this one to my list of favorites. 

The park address is:

 Andrew Brown Park East

260 E Parkway Blvd

Coppell TX 75019

Nanny Tip

Want kids to eat more fruits and veggies? Try making your own pouches. Kids love to make them and most of the time they will eat the foods they make. We used the following ingredients: spinach, avacado, blue berries, strawberries, banana, peas, vanilla yogurt, local honey (good for allergies; DO NOT USE HONEY WITH CHILDREN UNDER ONE YEAR OLD). Blend and pour into pouches. Choose a variety of fruits and veggies you like, toss them in the blender and voila, Smoothies/Pouches to go. OPTIONAL: add ice or place pouches in freezer for 2-3 hours before serving. Great as an afternoon snack all year round, especially on a hot sunny day. Reusable food pouches can be purchased at you local Wal-Mart store or online at Amazon.com. They come in an assortment of sizes and designes. Choose the ones you think your child would like best. Happy eating.

Favorite Read Aloud Book ....Ten In The Den

Favorite Read Aloud Book: Ten In The Den

Deep in the den, ten sleepy, cuddly animals snuggle up together for the night. But as the animal friends roll over to make more room, one animal after another gently tumbles out of the cozy den...until Little Mouse is left all alone. But Little Mouse misses his friends, so he comes up with the perfect solution to his problem.

HINT: This book can be sung to the tune of "Ten in the Bed" (Roll over, roll over) with a twist.

Read, Read and Reread

Read, Read and Reread

No matter how many times you read it, the story never gets old. We have read "The Five Little Monkeys Play Hide And Seek", so many times that now he is reading it to me and knows when to turn the pages. He even points to the numbers and counts to 12 in the correct order. Children learn so much when you take the time to read to them.

New Parent Tip.....Precious Ears

Precious Little Ears

Bottle-feeding while lying down increases the risk of milk getting into the ear. Formula or breast milk sometimes gets backed up in the eustachian tubes in the ear. Babies and young children have shorter tubes than adults, which means they get blocked more easily. This in turn will irritate the tissues of the middle ear, which can quickly lead to an ear infection.
