16 Months Old: The Dismantle Age

May 8, 2009 Author: Jessy | Filed under: Short Stories

My son is 16 months right now and he is a professional dismantler.  You clean he messes, you put things away he can take them out at twice the rate you could ever put them away.  It might be one of the more challenging stages and makes me truly appreciate cabinet locks.

Daily the entire contents of my tupperwear cupboard are emptied and carried throughout the house.  I put the tupperwear away with the lids on the left the bowls on the right and everyday they are mixed up and that is still way better than picking them up in every room of the house that he felt like decorating that day.   If you hang something up it is his responsibility to take it down for you and throw it on the floor.  He makes a contented grunt when he quickly puts all things hanging on the floor, as in the dismantle age that is where they belong.  The contents of the hair brush drawer are emptied and deposited in anyplace he can shove them.  I find brushes in the couch, under beds, under the tv stand, under couches, in boxes of toys, everywhere besides the brush drawer.

If there is food in a bowl like I occasionally put crackers in a bowl for the kids to snack on before lunch or dinner, he is very efficient on quickly dumping out every remaining morsel out of that bowl, on the floor on the couch or if I am lucky on the end table.   Any items left sitting on an end table of course do not belong there, remotes, phones, books, cups of water are all quickly swiped onto the floor, again that is his job.

During meals he is the best at sharing with the dog.  He feels it is his obligation to eat two noodles and put two on the floor, eat two bites of cucumber, the rest go on the floor, it must be a strong sense of accomplishment to be able to dismantel more than mom can ever clean in one day.  I have to remind myself daily this is a stage and he will grow out of it just like his sister did.

Childrens Chemical Free Sunscreen

May 7, 2009 Author: Jessy | Filed under: Product Reviews

I thought I was being nice to my children by putting sunscreen on them whenever I bring them in the sun.  I followed the directions and slathered it on them till they were all greased up and shiny! I find out the other day that I am messing up again!   Not only do I have to protect them from the sun, I also now have to protect them from chemicals in sunscreen!  Holy pressure batman!

I found a sunscreen I loved to put on my kids, Banana Boat Sport Sunblock Lotion, SPF 50. No Tearing, Hypoallergenic, Waterproof.  It does not burn if it gets in my kids eyes and I feel comfortable putting it on their faces.  Well come to find out that it has horrible chemicals that cause hormone problems.  So here are the chemicals I have been putting on my kids and what is dangerous about them.

According to cosmeticdatabase.com I have been using something that is 7 out of 10 for being horrible and includes the following dangerous chemicals:

These ingredients are linked to cancer, developmental and reproductive toxicity, neurotoxicity, persistence and bioacculmation, organ system toxicity (non-reprodutive).  It can cause irritation, on the skin and in the eyes or lungs. The product also has enhanced skin absorption and contamination concerns.

So I thought I was doing the right thing, I was using a sunscreen that did not specifically list the chemicals that I was supposed to watch out for: Oxybenzone and benzopheone-3.

Sunscreens that I am supposed to look for have zinc oxide or titanium dioxide and higher spf than 30.   When I find something that I like as well as my Banana Boat Kids I will share. I am going to start with California Baby.

The Couple Balance

May 7, 2009 Author: Jessy | Filed under: Family Management

I realized today that in relationships to be successful, you need checks and balances.  You need one person who is the saver, to balance out someone who likes to spend money.  You need one person who is the risk taker, to balance out the person who only makes safe decisions.  You need one person who is an organizer and who throws stuff away, to balance out the person who collects too much stuff.

If you are too much alike, you will end up in debt if you are both spenders, and if you are both savers you will never do anything fun.  Without the risk taker, the safe person would never try to experience anything new.  Without the organizer, two collectors would end up in a trash house.

In my world, I am the saver, the safe one, and the collector, I am also the one who stays home with my kids while my husband works full time.   Without our differences, and our challenges to each other we would have a boring relationship.  Our relationship is a relationship of friendship and balance, we are definitely not perfect, but together, we work.

I am a stroller addict, I love them!  I love new features, I love looking at other peoples strollers, I love shopping for them, if it were up to me,, and I had all the money in the world and all of the space in the world, I would have 6 of them! At one point I had 5 strollers, now I am down to only two. Of those two, I only have one stroller that I use daily.

I choose the Peg Perego 2009 Pliko P3 Stroller.

I like that there is a cup holder for me, many multi function strollers do not have any attachments like cup holders included. I like the freedom of movement 5 pt harness.  My little guy is at the point where he could dive out of a lapbelt only in a second, and with this freedom of movement 5 pt harness, he can lean forward look around without me worrying he is going to take a head dive, because I know that he is buckled in tight, the best thing is he does not mind being buckled in because he is not stuck to the back of the seat like normal 5 point harnesses. If you watch other parents who have  other strollers with 5 point harnesses, they don’t use them correctly because they don’t want their child angry and stuck back in the seat because it is too tight, so they loosen it up, then their kids can escape and risk falling out of the stroller.  I have seen it happen. This risk of falling is eliminated in this harness system.

I love the sun canopy with the rain guard attached, I can’t figure out why you would ever take it off actually. It folds down to create a weather proof clamshell and it is wonderful. I have used it in the coldest times of our Minnesota winter to keep the wind off of my baby.  I have used it to keep the rain off of him during an unexpected storm, and it works great for sun, I have also closed it to just keep a sleeping baby sleeping because it keeps it  helps keep it plenty dark in the stroller.  Even with the cover shut you can look thru the peekaboo window and see that he is still sleeping comfortably.

I ultimately bought the Peg Perego 2009 Pliko P3 Stroller for the toddler board in the back, this gave me the ability to push a single size compact stroller and have two children riding,  the toddler on the toddler board is right in front of you and can see where they are going while facing forward!!!   They are safely between your arms and with the handles extended you have full range to walk in full stride without hitting the toddler board.  This was something that people complained about repeatedly with the aftermarket toddler boards that cost over $100.

It turns on a dime with all four wheels, I have actually never used the locking wheels but they are there if you want them.  This stroller doesn’t have the crazy spinning wheels like I have seen some Graco’s with the front spinning wheels moving their own direction or two different directions when you are trying to make small movements in tight places.

I love the seat extender/leg rest that you can put up and down depending on your child’s age. When my little guy is laying down I fully extend the leg rest and it holds his legs up to help keep him sleeping, it can even be tipped all the way up to keep the wind out of the stroller almost completely in cold weather for little kids.

It is easy to clean and all of the food that has been consumed and smeared on it from picnics and walks comes off no problem.  The seat is comfortable and it has lightly padded sides for when your child needs to take a nap in the stroller they will be able to sleep comfortably without having their head resting on a bar.

The few negatives,  If your toddler is standing on the back and leaning to one side it can be harder to control the direction of the stroller and you may end up having to push harder with one arm to keep it straight.   You also need to have a child in the front of the stroller to safely have a child riding on the toddler board without risking it tipping back. I wish the basket was openly accessible from the back and not only the sides. I wish I could put my whole diaper bag under the stroller but it is tough to get it in and out with the side access, so I simply just hang it from the handle which works just fine.  Yep that is pretty much the only things I wish they could fix in upcoming editions of this stroller.

Everytime I use my stroller I see people looking at it and hear comments like, “That is cool!”, “Look, at that kid can stand on the back! “That is the stroller I want!”, “What kind of stroller is that?”  If they ask I am happy to tell them that it is a Peg Pergo Pliko P3 and that I love it and highly recommend it to others!

The Peg Perego 2009 Pliko P3 Stroller is unique and wonderful!  I have the orange, it is manly enough that my husband does not mind pushing it around, and it is tall enough that he does not have to bend over to hold the handles.  I love that this will last for my kids when I only need it for one, or if I have a kid with sore legs, she can hop on the back and hitch a ride.  The best thing is that I am not pushing around a huge double stroller and having my littlest one 4 feet in front of me because my stroller is so rediculously long.  Every stroller has a purpose, and after owning 6 other strollers I have figured out that I like to have a compact, neat looking, well made stroller, that works for both of my children.

Dandelions. Fun for 3 yr olds, Frustrating for mom.

May 7, 2009 Author: Jessy | Filed under: Short Stories

I like my lawn. I like how green and thick it is in the spring after all of this wonderful rain. The only problem with all of this wonderful rain is it has started the neighbors dandelions blooming like crazy.  Blooming dandelions are fun but the white puffy seeds are enough to put me into a panic when they blow towards my lawn.

Today we were outside playing in the court with the neighbor girl and the big kids and my little guy picked the few dandelions in their yard, so to keep them busy we had a dandelion hunt!  I sent the kids over into my next door neighbors yard who has a ton of yellow flowers and had them pick as many dandelions as they could.  They both filled their bike helmets with dandelions before they got bored.  I said what a wonderful thing!  Saving my lawn from the thousands of seeds blowing into my yard and 20 solid minutes of entertainment and exercise for the kids!
