Child Safty Class for GrandmaA
As some of you may know, but most do not, my daughter, as of tomorrow, will be one week past the due date for her first child. Well, today she had an appointment with her doctor at nine am and also at the same time was to attend a class about child safety. As she could not be two places at one time I did go to the class to fill in for her.
Note: Most communities in the United States offer classes such as this and offer you a free fold and go baby bed/play pen after the meeting.
You would think after having three of my own children, plus one and also about to have my ninth grandchild, kind of sort of, that I would know everything there was to know about taking care of babies; but noooo.
Attention Grandmas! Did you know that baby powder was no longer recommended to be used on babies? I had no idea. I did not get the full reason but it does have something to do with the danger of inhaling the powder. This is a good thing to look up while online. After this class, I am now better prepared to help with the care of my new grandson if needed.
If anyone is interested in knowing a few more things I learned at this class, you can go to my short page on child safety by clicking on and following this link. Child Safety Class for GrandmaA.
Before Buying Toys, Please Read
In the name of "smart and convenience," we are giving our privacy of life over to governments and agencies as well as all types of companies that want to target us for one reason or another. And as if that wasn't bad enough, there is an all too real danger of other hacking eyes and ears invading our homes and our privacy. Who are these people? Terrorist, child predators? The truth is, anyone with the knowledge to hack into the systems. And we are being inundated with products promising to make us "smarter" all the time.
Now we have the opportunity to help our children to develop with "smarter" technology as well.
I read an article this morning presented on my Firefox browser by Mozilla, which made my heart race just a bit.
Now, who wouldn't want to help their young child develop at the best rate he or she could? And we all want to give our children the latest and best gifts to make them happy and keep those bright smiles shining, but at what cost? Are these "toys" really good for them, are they good for our family, should we even allow them into our home?
Welcome into your home, the My Friend Cayla doll, an interactive toy that engages children in conversation.

Be safe and use common sense.

Gift Registries
Am I the only one in the country who didn't know this? I should have known this long ago. What a great idea.
I remember when my daughter was getting married, she registered at three local stores and even with the three, there wasn't a very good selection. But when it comes to Amazon, it has everything you can imagine.
I also see Amazon not only has a Wedding Registry but it also has a Baby Registry as well.
I would much rather shop online and have gifts delivered with no hassle, wouldn't you?
