Every year I get excited about the Christmas photo that will come in the mail from each of my kids.  There is a tradition in my family that every Christmas, a family picture is taken and mailed out with the annual Christmas family newsletter.  When my kids were young, I decided that I wanted to record each Christmas in a concise way.

Christmas Vacation – My Favorite Time Of Year
I love tracking down the exact thing for my loved ones and seeing their faces light up on Christmas morning. After dinner is usually our quiet time when we read our new books or play our new games. When our children were young, much of the Christmas vacation was spent building Lego sets or building up train tracks.

There are several things you need to do to help the mama cat train her kitties to develop good cat litter box habits. While the kids may try to follow mom’s example, here’s how you can help cement that success.

First, since kittens are so physically small and they’re still developing coordination and agility, it’s critical that you, the human mom, make sure they can easily get in and out of any cat litter box. The easiest way to do this is buy disposable aluminum roaster pans from your grocery store. Kittens grow as fast as weeds in the summertime, so this is a temporary, but completely justifiable purchase.

If your regular litter boxes are too tall for the babies to climb in and out, they’ll become discouraged and they’ll select the easiest spot (for them, at least) to eliminate waste. Once they get this idea in their little heads, it could be hard to get out. So, don’t give them the excuse…

One Month Pregnant

Some women instinctively know that they are pregnant pretty much from conception, for others it may not be so obvious. For those who do not realise that they are pregnant the first signs could be nausea, dizziness, feeling very tired, very tender breasts to list a few.  Being 1 month pregnant means that it has been one full month since the beginning of the last period. A woman will ovulate mid way through the menstrual cycle – usually about day 14. If the egg produced is then fertilised it takes another ten days to two weeks for the embryo to fasten itself to the lining of the womb. During this time it is perfectly normal to have some light “spotting” however, if the bleeding becomes heavy and bright red in colour it is important that the woman consults a doctor (if she is aware of the pregnancy). For a woman unaware this would probably just be taken as the start of a new cycle.

Early childhood learning programs

When you have children in your house who are not yet old enough to join regular school but definitely have the capability of acquiring some knowledge, one of the best things that you can do to help your child and yourself is to enroll him into an early childhood learning program. These programs are obviously helpful for your child and also ensure that you get a break from the screaming, jumping, running and endless banter. Don’t feel guilty about doing this because the early childhood learning programs are much needed by your child himself. We tend to underestimate the capabilities of our children and do not realize that they have they have a much higher learning and grasping potential than what we can imagine. What we need to ensure is that we choose the right program that uses appropriate and apt skills to educate your child and ease him into the subsequent regime of curriculum and structured learning.

Early childhood education programs

There is a certain age that your child gets into where they are too small to go to regular school but yet they are old enough to do their own thing and accomplish certain tasks. This is the toughest time for the parent since the exuberant energy at times drains the entire energy of the caretaker. The need that they have to expend the energy that they have makes them want to run around, scream, play, fiddle with things and sometimes get aggressive and out of control. Even though you should enjoy these days with your child, you should realize that this is the time when you should try and give them a head start in life. Early childhood learning programs do just that. These programs give you a head start by acclimatizing to the environment that they will enter once they start kindergarten. Instead of being exposed to only their parents, kids who go to early leaning programs tend to interact in a better manner with other kids. They are prepared for what they can expect when they start going to a proper school since they have seen environments where there are many kids around. They also learn to listen to instructions being given and get used to a set pattern of curriculum and learning.
The other option to give your child a head start is using the World Wide Web. The internet has options that your child can use to play games and learn at the same time. This is essentially a very important tool since the child does not realize that he is studying and therefore learns while playing. Once these learning games and tools become a part of the life of your child, you will realize that he continues to use them at a later stage. There are options that are available for each age to hone skills that are apt for their age. This fun filled activity also makes the parents feel happy that their child is learning while having fun.

Painted Flower Pots

Children can really drive you crazy during summer vacations and keeping them busy is an arduous job especially if you do not have any activity in mind that will keep them from bothering you with childish questions and demands.
Children love to paint, and creating painted flower pots will bring out the artist in them and keep them busy for a couple of hours as well. The added benefit of this project is that you can then spend a sunny afternoon planting a small flower garden in the painted flower pots once you’ve finished making them.
