- Stressless Meals
I bought a small battery operated fan that I bring with me to restaurants to quickly cool down my sons food. It saves time and makes dinner less stressful!

- Table cloth trouble
When we take our son out to a restaurant that has tablecloths we used to spend most of the time trying to prevent him from grabbing and pulling on the tablecloth. Here is our solution: At our local party supply store I purchased some plastic tablecloth clips that are used to keep tableclothes in place for an outdoor party. When we go out, we simply use the tablecloth clips to keep our cutie from pulling on the cloth and lifitng it up. It really works!

- Tantrums
I have two children, now four and five. When each of them threw their "first" tantrum, I simply lied next to them and began to kick, fuss and thrash around. That was the last tantrum either of them ever threw as they both stopped mid-tantrum, looked at me as though I had lost my mind, and backed out of the room!!

- Teaching a toddler to blow his nose
It's easy to teach a toddler to blow his nose! A birthday party is a good time to start. Let him see how excited everyone gets when you blow out a candle; then let him practice at home when he doesn't have a stuffy nose. After he has the hang of it, gently cover his mouth while he blows the candle out with the air from his nose. If you keep practicing until he has the hang of it the next time he has a cold blowing should be a breeze!

- teaching toddlers to clean
My twins love to help me clean. Whenever I dust or straighten up I hand them each a diaper wipe and they clean the window sills, table tops, and other dirty surfaces. Also, I keep a drawer that they can reach in the kitchen full of old, clean washclothes. When I wash the floor and while it's still wet, they each get a washcloth and dry the floor with them.

- Teaching your toddler to feed himself
Practice spoon feeding in-between meals when your little one isn't hungry. Use cool whip since it is light weight and won't fall off so easily. It's easy to clean up!

- The Mommy Dot
I've had many discoveries as a mom in the past 5 years, but the best one so far is when I discovered that all little children have a "Mommy Dot." A red dot that appears on the forehead of a fibbing child! (Tell your kids this...)
God gave Mommy the special power needed to see the dot when a fib is told . . . and Mommy CAN pass the power on to babysitters, dads, grandparents when necessary. If a fib is told, the dot appears. When the truth comes out, the dot goes away.
IT WORKS!!!! I laughed when I tried this for the first time, but it really works!
When I'm questioning them about something, all I have to do is ask, "Let me see your forehead," and the truth comes out! We've even gotten to the point in my house where if I ask a question like "Who left the toys on the floor," the not guilty party automaticly responses "Not me Mommy. Look . . . no dot!!"

- Those first toddling steps
As soon as my children start walking around the house and are ready for shoes,I put bells on the laces.
This way you can always hear where they are. I also found that if you don't hear jingling, they have stopped somewhere to investigate, or find trouble.

- Timeout Nose to the Wall
When my girls were smaller, I would have them stand in our hallway when they were fighting or being out of control. When they were standing there, they had to put their little noses on that wall, so they couldn't look around or do anything but keep that nose on the wall. It worked better than going to their rooms.

- Toddler Cleanup
When I buy baby wipes for my 1-1/2 year old, I always buy an extra container to keep near her high chair. It's not only an easy way to do fast tray cleanups between foods, but they're perfect for cleaning her sticky hands and face in a flash.

- Toddler food
My toddler is now on real food, no more baby food!! The problem we were having is things we buy for her come in such big containers. It's silly to buy the smaller ones that cost almost as much as full sized cans, etc. What I found is to place a sheet of plastic wrap over a mini-muffin pan, fill the muffin tin with the left over food, and freeze. When thoroughly frozen, place in a ziplock bag... Makes perfect size for toddlers! Take just what you need. We've used this on foods such as creamed corn, applesauce, and tomato sauce.

- Toddler Reading
My 26 month old grandson is learning to read by identifying the products in the weekly newspaper grocery ads. He looks at these over and over and enjoys pointing out the items. Alphabet cards are on the playroom wall and he compares these to the letters in the ads.

- toddler tips
When they scream, take a deep breath and laugh. See you have to laugh.I feel humor is a great way to get through the day. As moms we try to live up to Mrs.Bradys unrelistic parenting skills. We are human. Please do not judge, your children are special. But guess what so are we! I owe it to my ,over the top, dramatic son, to be me. It is hard not to lose yourself,but you'll be a better parent if you stay true to you. My son is the male version of me,& I take more time outs then he does. But he is great. Ask me tommorow and you may get a diffrent answer. One day he will change the world!!

- Toddler Trail Mix
For healthy snack that is fun, delicious and has more nutritional benefits than most snacks:
What you need: a variety of cereals, crackers, raisins and other dried fruits, combine roughly 1/2-1 cup of each ingredient in a plastic resealable container and shake.
Each time you serve this be sure to shake the container so smaller ingredients like blueberries are included!
I use alot of organic ingredients and can find organic cereals similar to Chex Mix and Cheerios which are good for toddlers small hands. Gerber has a great new selection of veggie crackers and fruit snacks which I use with dried strawberries, blueberries and raisins. When we go out for a day I put a "serving" into a plastic sandwhich baggy and keep the rest in the refrigerator at home to prevent the crackers, etc.. from becoming stale.
