Uniqueness building individality

My oldest daughter has her own unique style for dressing. For example, she wears two scarfs and a head band over top them in which she says its her long hair. She has enjoyed having her own unique style since she qas almost two years old. She liked wigs at the begining in which she still does in addition to her hairs as well.

She says she enjoys her unique style, she enjoys changing the style of her doll baby clothing to her own way in which I find unique and fascinating that she's styling herself or her doll babies. I told her that maybe onw day she probably will go into being a designer or stylist for others.  Just as a suggestion always allow their potental to shine through because it gives them their ow continous uniqueness allowing them more expression of themselves.

Burning energy in doors

When parents are not able to get their babies out rather for reasons of work, tired or just not feeling up to it, finding various things to do around the house helps them burn energy for nap time. I personally struggled with getting babies out the house as much as I would like.

On top of not being able to get them and then trying to make sure to keep in mind of the others in the house only seem to be difficult to handle with three toddlers. So I just started allowing them to take time from their cartoons will taking their cartoons away and allowing them to play given them each a chance to express their individuality is priceless.

Allowig one to paint, the other play store and the third just play with her toys or color. Finding ways to burn energy seemed just out the question when inable to get them out of our apartment. Yet, starting the new way of giving them that chance even indoors to just be themselves has been well worth the trouble some and joyous moments making it all worth it!!!!!

Wonderment!!!

My middle daughter is very head strong and I'm in many ways looking for the answer to where she can express herself in the toddler stages and me not having to continously feel like I'm sounding like a broken record. I want her to be herself yet I just feel like I'm at a lose no matter how much I talk to help her understanding of wrongful actions. Yet she continues to keep repeating the same pattern I sometimes wonder is her constant repeating just in the toddler stages or her just wanting to keep going to keep pushing my buttons.

At her checkup, her doctor did inform me that she is all the normal toddler, yet some are just so head strong. I do admire her strong determination and free spiritness but we sometimes seem to be so much off the same page;-)

Parent critism to using own judgement

Should we take other parent critism to heart especially within the toddler stages. The toddler stages can be rough, yet in speaking with other parents its common to be sitting down feeding your toddler and a comment comes out from another parent.

I take a comment such as beating my child be the best form to parenting as okay being it's that parent's choice of chestizing their child but I prefer talking and timeout or taking away the toys. Comments seem to just come out blutly when it comes to parenting. I'm not sure exactly but maybe it is suppose to be ment well to a certain degree at the parent's behalf but does it have to be a comment all the time.

I've noticed that even when someone that maybe around children will comment quickly to another parents. Comments come at a cost with parenting taking parent critism in anyway I think depends on the comment and how the comment is directed. Yet at the end of the day with parenting especially within the toddlers and still learning ourselves we end making the decision that fits well with us individually.

The toy wars

Well having three toddlers I'm buying three of everything to lessen the disagreements, yet lately having the same toys have been a new war amoungst the three sisters. The toy can be the same yet have different colors and that seems to pose a problem at some point.

So I decided to try something new, I allowed them to pick out a toy that they each like and then see what happens when we returned home. When we arrived home they were excited to play with each others toys being that each one was alone being out the toy that they each liked. Since making the switch to allow them to chose, it has lessen arguments and they enjoy playing with each others toys.

Ezcema being the rash

For many parents, babies to
toddlers that deal with ezcema, I have taken ny youngest daughter to the doctor's office because her ezcema flairs so bad. When she has had flair ups, she gets the ezcema on her knees and elbows. It has went as far as on her eye lids, even on her toes. She has been on various types of prescribed ointmets and liquids to help relieve much her itching.

She's a toddler and has had ezcema since she was six months old. When the doctor visits would only temporarly relieve the itching and her symptoms, I wss left to come to my own solution. I was up and down with my daughter several times a night due to her skin being so itchy and dry with ezcema. I had to help. While shopping, I was told to try her own Silk milk being that it was natural and good for her. At that sametime she seemed to having a sour stomach with the whole milk and two percent milk so I was willing to try Silk milk.

I kept her on the luke warm baths, use the original dove soap and then she was on the Original Silk milk. In just a few days her itching seemed to calm down. I purchased the New Aveeno lotion for ezema and also the Cortizone (red and white) tube. In a week, using the lotion and cream twice a day aloning with givin her the Silk milk it started to lessen her redness and then it went on lessen her itching even more.

Suggestions

Original Silk milk
Cortizone and Avenno ezcema lotion

Learning to read nearby!!!!

I have been out and about in search of books to buy for my 5 year old to start learning to read. Well when I was at the library just a few days ago I found some books to check out that may just be away for her to learn to read at her own pace.

The books are at levels being a better way to her level of learning to read. I like that the books are not long and hard for her to read and also their enjoyable that its from her favorite cartoon shows. Her favorite is Strawberry Shortcake which she was excited that she could have such a book to learn to read. The library books came in handy when on a budget and not sure what to do when teaching your toddler to read. Ask the librarian and he/she will lead the way!
