ParentPicks: Toddler must-haves
Categories: Toddlers, Baby essentials
It's time for another installment of ParentPicks, a veritable gold mine of parental wisdom. Our sneaking suspicions were right - you DO have some fantastic baby picks up your sleeve! Well, let's keep the good ideas flowing. This month's ParentPicks feature will be focused on the darling, yet obstinate toddler stage. Personally, I have been thrown blindly into the Terrible Two's Ring of Fire during the past month. (HOLD ME.) The only item that elicits a guaranteed smile from my outdoorsy dictator is his Kettler tricycle.
What about you, though? What product or item could you not live without during the toddler years? Your insightful responses will be compiled and presented in August for everyone to enjoy. Now, get to it! Parents all over the world will thank you!

This is alittle sad on part..I could not live without my son's blankie. It's a really soft fleece and the edges are done with satin. I got it at Babies r us when he was born and he has always used it. Why can't I live without it you ask? B/C when he throws a fit, hurts himself doing himself (note: this usually means he ain't supoose to be doing it to begin with), or anything else that upsets him. I give him the blankie and he shuts up. WHich means I can handle the problem to start with.
Like I said sad...

We could not live without my son's radio-flyer wagon. I never thought
we would find so many ways to use it. The obvious one being for taking walks, but it also has served as a cargo van for trips to the pool, a picnic table when we are eating on the porch or are out for a picnic,a fort,a nap place when at the beach (the fold down seats make a great place to place a little one for a nap...obviously with some cushioning) and so on. I am so glad I splurged and got the "ultra high class" one. It has two fold down seats (hence the table part and nap place), a canopy, wheels that work for any off road adventure plus it "drives" like a dream. I will never get rid of it!

Regarding the new Compact-Fluorescent light bulbs--THEY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS!!!
Read: Mercury leaks found as new bulbs break (The Boston Globe).
...Even cleaning-up the dust from a broken bulb is very dangerous...!!!
