Infantino Comforting Play Collection

I got the opportunity to review Infantino's new Comforting Play Collection. I received my box full of goodies a few weeks ago and opened it up to find some pretty cool products. So far I love everything about them. There is something in there for any type of play, whether your baby is on the go, playing quietly in their crib, or hanging out on the floor. One of my favorites is the binky buddy, which is great if you have a baby that likes to lose their binky. I like that they made something for all of babies senses even including smell. I honestly can't seem to find anything I don't like. They are all reasonably priced, so you could put something together for an upcoming baby shower even if your on a budget. Below is my review of this new collection along with a couple ways you could put them in a basket as a gift.

And a thank you to Mom Central for this awesome opportunity :)

Finger painting with Jonah

I am horrible at doing super crafty things with Jonah. I don't know why but I rarely do painting or crafts with him. Then after a while of not doing anything I come across a cool idea or preschool style craft and think "that looks fun!" only to realize I don't have anything to do it with. So I usually seek out homemade versions, like play dough or in this case finger paints. So thanks to this amazing website that is my new love for homemade kid fun, I found a finger paints recipe. So easy!!

What is on my mind....

What is on my mind today? Potty training, my new love for Mumford and Sons, Jonahs birthday, and how to make time stop......

Lets just start with potty training. I HATE IT. Normally, I have a pretty sweet, laid back, and all around good kid. But we have been working on potty training since last Saturday and it has not been fun. Not one bit. Yesterday he just didn't want to do it, so he wet himself multiple times. Then today, after being so tired of staying home, I decide we need to go to the library and the park. I put him in a pull up and off we go. I was totally thinking he would go in the pull up as soon as we left the house, but he didn't! He sought out every bathroom he could while we were out and stayed dry until we got home. Now I see why some people choose to let their kids go naked outside, free to pee wherever :) It is just so confusing with him, is he into it or is he not. We shall see what tomorrow holds.

I love Mumford and Sons right now. That is all for that thought.

Jonahs birthday is on Monday and he will be 3.

This thought goes with the next thought, where has time gone? I can not believe my baby will be 3. I can not believe I just said "my baby".... I feel old. And while I am writing this my 4.5 month old is staring at me from his bouncer. Where did the last 4.5 months go? Time just keeps getting faster and faster, it is so incredibly scary to me. So how do we make time stop? Well fine... I know I can't make time stop but I do have some ideas I want to put into practice. First off, I want to remember to stop what I am doing, whatever it is, for my kids. Nothing is more important than making sure they know their mommy loves them and that they know they are greatly valued. For this second one I need to set it up a bit. Jonah has this book, I can't remember what it is called, but it is about all the lasts a child has. Like the last time they want to read books before bed, or the last time they want to be held.... I don't want to just let anything pass by me, I want to cherish all of their firsts and all of their lasts.

Alright this blog post is a jumbled mess, but I needed to get it all out there. I will get better at this I promise :)
