I know I am going over board with this but as I was nursing my son last night and he was cuddling with his doggie, I thought of a few more... Identical Lovey - Once your child has clearly established a lovey, get a second one exactly the same. It makes switching them out for washing so much easier and if your child is sick and throws up all over Lovey #1, you can "pretend" to quickly clean it and swap it out with the ready-and-waiting clean Lovey #2. We actually have 3 of my son's doggie - one is permanently in the car, one in his room and the last stays hidden in a closet for "back up". Cold Soothie Paci for Teething - We used this type of paci only for a very short time when my kids were newborns, then we switched to a Avent kind that is less likely to fall out... anyway, I kept this kind and figured out these are great when kids are teething. Put them in the freezer and they get nice and cold but not too hard like ice. Since the whole thing is that rubber...
I wasn't really planning on "doing" Halloween with Marie this year seeing that she doesn't eat candy, can't walk and won't remember it or know she has missed anything but we had a Halloween playgroup to go to so I decided if I could find an inexpensive costume, we'd do it. At Old Navy for $5 bucks we got this princess dress and I have to admit, I didn't love it but I thought what the heck, for $5, why not? Well... the costume was actually much cuter on Marie than on the hanger and we happen to have pink satin bloomers (thanks Nana) that would work perfectly under it and also ballerina slippers. So low and behold... me and Dan took our little princess trick-or-treating. It was a lot fun and I am glad we did it. Amazingly she wore the crown the entire night. It was the shoes she didn't want to keep on...perhaps she thinks she is Cinderella or something.
