We often talk about teaching basic “commands” to our toddlers. Teaching your toddler to come to you when called is one that needs to be taught early. To me, this is a safety concern once they are walking/running and independent. We practiced (and still do) all day long to make sure she understood what I …
Mama’s Organized Chaos
All I have to say about our activities this week is 1 word: WATER! There is a little creek at the course my husband works at. We decided to let Caroline play in the water instead of going to the playground, since it was so hot out. This girl loved it sooooo much, we went …
