Changed my son's handwriting overnight. <br />And now they are just chairs!<br />xxLisamareehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18445509438246694219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-37132138992302774032009-01-27T03:30:00.000-05:002009-01-27T03:30:00.000-05:00You are an amazing MOM and that Max is too.I love ...You are an amazing MOM and that Max is too.<BR/>I love how you share and have such great tips.pve designhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03527745630303158002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-20535508495668497542009-01-24T05:10:00.000-05:002009-01-24T05:10:00.000-05:00Wow, lots of great advice.

I used to love that one and can see how good it would be.<BR/><BR/>I love the Manoy bowl - perfect for a child who can use a spoon but who finds it hard to scoop.

Not as a high chair, but as an office chair - I love it! You can move the seat and the footrest to adjust to whatever feels comfortable that day (which is great for someone as fickle as I). <BR/><BR/>(...my parents bought this as a high chair for my youngest brother who is now 19 --- I didn't realize this until...oh last year!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-22723169466728691542009-01-23T15:59:00.000-05:002009-01-23T15:59:00.000-05:00Hi!

Anyway, if I c...I SO wanted to do a post like this! Anyway, if I could name one, must-have item it would be the feeder seat from First Years. We use it for feeding--even when Charlie was super-weak we could recline it. We use it for play-time, and we drag it with us whenever we go to a restaurant. Kid to floppy for those nasty restaurant high chairs? This baby is perfect and goes on any restaurant chair. You can even skip the tray and stick it in a booth. Supposedly it's good up to four years, but I can say with experience that at nineteen months it's still going strong. Your high chair is definitely prettier, but without this chair I would have had to give up dining out and as a native New Orleanian that against my code of ethics.<BR/><BR/>Here's the link:http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/184-7942889-1371054?ASIN=B0012VY11A&AFID=Froogle&LNM=B0012VY11A|The_First_Years_NewborntoToddler_Reclining_Feeding_Seat&ci_src=14110944&ci_sku=B0012VY11A&ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189007616883663434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-83227571201255501112009-01-22T21:38:00.000-05:002009-01-22T21:38:00.000-05:00That popsicle stick idea is genius!

And Mel, I forgot all about Hungry Hippos! Loved that game myself as a kid. I have to get Max some finger puppets.

Some things that have really helped us out...<BR/><BR/>The Nosey Cup: http://www.dynamic-living.com/product/nosey-cup/<BR/><BR/>These things are great-- they come in all sizes, including those for little hands, our son, who has trouble swallowing, is able to use one because he doesn't have to tilt his head back to drink. <BR/><BR/>Leapfrog's Fridge Phonics Magnets:<BR/>http://www.leapfrog.com/en/fridge_phonics/fridgephonics.html<BR/><BR/>These are great for deaf children because they are pretty loud and teach phonics as well as letter names. They're also pretty chunky and easy to pick up. They make a set for simple words, too.<BR/><BR/>And, last but not least, the humble popsicle stick. We tape these to the pages of Connor's favorite books so he can turn them himself. Super easy and cheap!<BR/><BR/>We enjoy your blog. Keep up the good work!<BR/><BR/>~Jessie<BR/>http://connorssong.blogspot.comJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06306757421878995110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-23880834324203193952009-01-22T18:47:00.000-05:002009-01-22T18:47:00.000-05:00Yaaaay for more free advice!!!Made my day.Yaaaay for more free advice!!!<BR/><BR/>Made my day.Ally in Wonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04975361534097221984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-30763805580484722482009-01-22T10:15:00.000-05:002009-01-22T10:15:00.000-05:00Ooh, the bendy utensils!

I'd really like to get a set of those for Piper, especially before we cast her again.<BR/>I'd have to say two toys we really use are Ganz's plush finger puppets and Hungry Hungry Hippos.
