Teach my baby!

 






Introducing learning early is so vital in a child’s development. However, learning and respecting every child’s learning style is also very important. My daughter LOVES TO LEARN. Since she was a baby she was interested in every little thing. The ceiling fan and how it works, she loved watching educational nursery rhymes on YouTube, and absolutely gave us her undivided attention when we were teaching her something. My son Jax on the other hand, will rather slam everything in his hand to see what kind of sound it will make, and likes to see what every flashcard tastes like, and if it’s different then the one before. His learning style is different. I have to incorporate music and make it a little more animated to keep him engaged in learning. We are teaching him his eyes, ears, nose, and mouth. He already signs for more when he wants more food, so the next step is to identify different parts of his body, starting with his face. 


I have to admit, baby #2 doesn’t get all the early learning like Jaida did. We read to her often, and were a lot more consistent with teaching her things. Juggling two kids, our focus is keeping their bellies full, house clean, and diapers dry. But, the best thing about having a second child, the older one pours out all her knowledge onto him. He looks up to her a lot and studies everything she does. He is 10 months old and is already walking, he feeds himself, and sings along to his favorite nursery rhymes. 


The Teach my baby kit from Amazon has now been passed down to Jaxon. We love everything about this kit. This is not a sponsored blog. You will all know my saying soon, ‘Real advice for real moms.’

This kit is worth every penny and it has done above and beyond what I expected it to. My daughter is literally a genius baby, but it started with discipline and making sure we took the time out to work with her.

Ambition and Productivity Killer

  How many of you thought of an incredible idea or had an opportunity at the tip of your fingers, but didn’t proceed because of self doubt or distractions?  My BIGGEST productivity killer is distractions. I’m a ‘dot my I’s and cross my T’s...’ kinda gal, and I can become easily distracted by my drive. If I’m browsing something, I want to know all the details. I like to know how things work, and I’m an extreme problem solver. This can easily distract you in our digital world. These aren’t bad traits. These just can be the result of time wasted scrolling on a newsfeed on social media that can bring absolutely nothing of value to your life.  With my time permanently off of social media, I’ve been connecting deeply with friends that I haven’t talked to in months. I’m more attentive to my kids and focused on being in the moment. I’ve placed my phone down without any anxiety about missing out on information from social media because the people I care most about I’m reaching out...

Fun and SAFE indoor activities for KIDS.

  Fubbles- this spill proof container makes it easy for kids to blow bubbles without any worries of spilling. This is a must have for us, since our entire downstairs is tile. I would hate for her to spill and slip. Cocomelon or Farmees- my kids love to sing and dance. You can access these two nursery rhymes and kid friendly music free on youtube, itunes, and even Alexa. Flash cards- shapes, numbers, letters, and objects are fun and also very educational for little ones. If they don’t seem interested, just add some music and make up a song while having them guess whats on the card. Besides the obvious toys, having a box of dress up clothes is always fun, especially for little girls. I passed my dress up clothes down to my daughter, so she will be able to enjoy: Ariel from The Little Mermaid, Princess Jasmine, Belle from Beauty and the Beast and many more. Alphabet fun- you can actually put all those fun foam alphabet letters kids use in the bathtub by adding a tiny bit of water into...

Mom-son Bond

  Let me first start out saying that I love my kids equally the same. There is no favoritism in the Thomas household. I don’t know what it is, I can’t explain it. The bond between mother and son is unexplainable. Ok, it doesn’t help with him being the baby in the family, but this kid can get away with anything. All he has to do is give me this look and I melt. My daughter on the other hand, she is ME! So I know exactly what’s going through her mind, and that’s why I don’t cave in as easily like I do with Jax. Maybe it’s because everything is a mystery and there is curiosity with him. I’ll never know the mindset of a boy, so everything is new and a discovery. They have a different thought process and they rationalize things differently as well. Whatever it is, I embrace it and I now understand what mom’s say about the bond between mother and son.
