This was a nice hostel, a little distance from downtown, but the public bus stops just around the corner... The attic room I stayed in had a very low ceiling, I banged my head a few times...also the floorboards were very creaky... A basic breakfast was included and bikes were available for free... The owner was very helpful and friendly... The common areas were nice to relax in... A nice hostel, I would recommend...

I had a binkie 'til I was six. All the doctors make us take our kids' security stuff away when they are, like, two or something. This is a scary world--who doesn't need a soothie?
ReplyDeleteAnother classic.
I'm really glad you could see the clear demarcation between bringing Buzzie to college, and bringing him to work ;)
Also, this line - "Those things do not hold up to repeated washings and buzzings!" wins the internet today :)"Blankie, no one knows how good of a blankie you are to me." Oh my gosh. That totally melted my heart.
ReplyDeleteWonderful story! I love cloth diapers and used them with my first kiddo. They're so sturdy and make great rags; glad to know they have an even higher purpose!
ReplyDeleteOh, Buzzie. I loved how this was a tribute to a lovey but also a love note to your son about how you would always be there for him. Nice, Erin
ReplyDelete"Those things do not hold up to repeated washings and buzzings!" <- made me snort. :D
ok so confession time. i still buzz, apparently, too. only i call it "schnipp" (no clue if it's spelled right- it means 'cut' in German) because i was a thumb sucker and "schnipper" of any soft fabric i could fancy- according to my mom. basically i take the fabric between my thumb and pointer or middle finger and pull at it. i can't describe it much better than that and it's not like i'm gonna do a video on it or anything! ;D just letting you know, you're not alone with you Buzzing.um. i have two blankies. they are on my bed right now. my husband laughs, but doesn't make me get rid of them. he knows not to mess with them either. :) my kids also know not to mess around with them. holy grail :)
ReplyDeleteAw, sweeet. I maybe have a disgustingly old stuffed animal that I sleep with occasionally and don't you DARE tell Boyfriend that.
ReplyDeleteMy boys are at the age that they don't want to remember their comfort items now, but they are safely in the memory box.
Nice that Buzzie has stayed with you.
http://itsmynd.com*sigh* Oh, I had a Buzzie. Mine was called Blanket. I loved her. She was soft and tattered and completely falling apart by the time I finally was able to part ways with her. She still lives at my parents' house somewhere. And I still miss her from time to time.
Great story.
PS - Like Gia, I have a stuffed animal I still sleep with...I don't think I'll ever completely giving up having a stuffed animal. :)All of my kids have a lovey. The 3 youngest still sleep with their lovey's every single night. I cannot imagine taking them away before they are ready. I had a bear that was my lovey and we lost him somewhere when I was around 4. I remember the heartbreak like it was yesterday. Your post hit my heart and took me right back to my childhood.
ReplyDelete"Blankie, no one knows how good of a blankie you are to me." Pretty much the cutest thing any child has said, ever. I had a blankie when I was little and I made my mom keep it in the freezer. For some reason I liked it to be cold.
ReplyDeleteI received a stuff lion from my grandparents when I was 5. This was right before I had my tonsils out. 35 years later, I still have that lion. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved this - I too had a blankie and nobody understood what comfort it gave me. It was w. me all the time. I was a thumb-sucker and would rub the blanket and suck my thumb. One day my mom threw it out - it was in shreds by then - oh, my, god. I still miss my blankie, but it's reincarnated in the form of Ella's blankie which has holes in it and she won't be separated from it. (-: Great post.
ReplyDeleteNice post. My niece is ten. She has this little blanket thingy with a rabbit head. She calls it bunny bear. It goes with her everywhere. I was thinking that at 10 maybe she was getting a bit old for it. After hearing your story I will not think that again. As for an adult buzzing herself to sleep or reducing anxiety - that's a lot better than drugs, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteRepliesYes, definitely better than drugs! I have always felt that if kids need them, as long as they can function without them, then it's ok. I mean, if I was bringing it to work daily, I'd say I had a problem. But sneaking it out a little, I think I'm only a bit of a freak, you know ;) 10 isn't old. 10 is still a baby. Too many changes to navigate at that age to do so without a lovey.
I think this is so sweet. And I love that your mom had a steady supply of blankies for you and didn't try to talk you out of it. So, so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI remember rubbing my fingers on my clown's hat. It was so comforting. I had a few clowns, but there was nothing like the first one. Great story!
ReplyDeleteMy sister in law still needs something to "buzz" when she sleeps and she's got a spouse and kids and all that jazz, too. My son likes buzzing stuff, too, but usually while he's just hanging out. Not sure about bedtime.
I really liked the part about in the hospital. You needed comforting, so you brought your best ally. Nothing wrong with that.So sweet! So glad you understand your son's blanky love. I love that the nurse at the hospital was nice to you. When I had my first my nurse was mean mean mean, and I didn't even have a blanky. :)
ReplyDeleteI gave up my blankie pretty quickly but my brother OMG could not let go. His "blankie" was actually a cloth diaper too and it was like torture getting that away from him. I do not envy this part of motherhood! Sweet story though!
I love this story because one day your son will be saying this to a woman.RepliesI'm of the mindset that as long as he's not dragging it around like Linus from Peanuts it's fine. If he wants to sleep with a blankie at 40, I don't care. I'm sure he won't bring it to school (he's never asked to yet) so I'm not worried. Hopefully I'll never need to take it away from him.
Michelle, my younger daughter has a blankie with a dog head. The way you described buzzing the seams made me think of how she massages the fabric between her fingers now. I can only guess the feelings of calm you felt with yours, is similar for my little one.
ReplyDeleteI still have my blankie and my oldest child has his! I wonder if blankies are a first born child thing since my brothers never had one and neither do my younger children!
I'm snuggled with my blankie right now...
I had to replace mine recently because the other one fell apart in the wash...:'(

Articles & Resources to Keep You On Track
Here I am posting resources I use with my son or that were recommended by readers like you. Through trial and error I found myself gravitating to the same places and aides. Spanish learning songs for children, bilingual education articles, Spanish toys and games, and Latin travel became my bread and butter in the bilingual process. Here I contribute my 2 cents and I hope you feel inspired to do the same!
When I started to teach my son Spanish I thought it was going to be a piece of cake. At the beginning everything went smooth until…he started nursery school.
Well… at that point his world was mostly in English.
his teacher, his classmates, the majority of his friends, daddy's family and daddy spoke English. Ian started talking in English more than Spanish.
Red flags went up in my head. I looked for any reading material, game, toy, and activity to help my son be fully bilingual. I also concluded that to preserve culture the best vehicle is language.
Bilingual Resources I Tried
Start With Spanish Learning Software!
My Reviews of Tell Me More & Rocket Spanish
Wanting to complement your Spanish learning adventure by learning Spanish ahead or after coming back? Check out my top 2 recommendations for Spanish learning software. I tested them myself and remember, I am a native Spanish speaker from Colombia, which has one of the best Spanish you can find in South America!
3 Facts on How Children Learn a Second Language
Reading "Second Language Acquisition in Childhood" by Barry McLaughlin answered many questions I had about the second language learning process in Pre-K children. Here are 3 important conclusions the book showed:
- Language learning is not a uniform process. Children vary greatly when learning either a first or second language, as well as how fast they learn it. So learn to recognize your child's speed and help in the process. Be patient and don't correct him constantly, which may cause him to stop trying.
- Our children show different learning styles. Some take language word by word literally, and others do it more globally using whole clues or phrases to express themselves. Pay attention to your child's style, re-phrase things for him without saying "you are wrong."
- Cultural environments play an important role in language development. Depending on the environment, some parents expect more of their children and also give more input to their children in terms of language. Strive to provide a rich environment for your child to learn more easily. Take him to Hispanic art shows, musical events and festivals that enrich his environment and give him a chance to use Spanish.

Hadrian's Empire : When Rome Ruled the World Paperback
by Danny Danziger, Nicholas Purcell
Hadrian's Wall is one of the world's best known legacies of the Roman Empire.
It has stood for two thousand years as a moment to its creator, and yet he himself remains an enigmatic figure.
Now bestselling author Danny Danziger and Nicholas Purcell reveal the details of the extraordinary life of this mysterious man, and the age in which he lived and ruled.
Hadrian was Spanish, and a restless, inquiring intellectual.
He travelled constantly and spent much time in cultural centres like Athens and Alexandria.
Although he was not warlike, he was a good soldier, and was comfortable mingling amongst all ranks. And yet his personal life was a complicated one, rife with scandal and conflicted sexuality.
This complex character was also responsible for some of the world's most enduring architectural treasures.
He built the Pantheon in Rome, the largest dome built using pre-industrial methods and a sprawling 900-room villa at Tivoli with a towering 'pumpkin dome' - a fittingly idiosyncratic memorial to this most unusual of emperors.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap2000000296399/article/wade-phillips-wants-houston-texans-job Wade Phillips wants Houston Texans job For the third time in his odyssey-filled NFL career, Wade Phillips has taken over as the interim head coach in December. Proud owner of a career 82-63 record, Phillips is now stumping for the permanent job with the Houston Texans. "I can go into all of the stats and all of that stuff. Nobody wants to hear those," Phillips said Monday, via the Houston Chronicle. "But if you look at the record, I think I have a lot to offer as a head coach. That's for somebody else to decide." Phillips didn't even want to provide an answer when asked if he would consider returning as the defensive coordinator under a new coach. "If I say that," Phillips reasoned, "they won't hired me as the head coach." Owner Bob McNair has confirmed that Phillips is a candidate to keep the job in 2014.
His head coaching days died in November 2010 in Green Bay. He just is not cut out to be a head coach and his teams have a big tendency to underachieve. Denver, Buffalo, Dallas. Even when he is a coordinator they seem to do the same. He was DC of San Diego at 14-2 and they lost their first game in the playoffs. Houston way underachieved this year. Actually imploded. Just don't see anything about him that makes me want him on my staff.

Jesse James Is a Dead Man -- TV Review
The problem isn't necessarily the stunts undertaken by host Jesse James, who in his spare time from running the West Coast Choppers bike shop likes to drive fast and live recklessly. The real issue is that the series goes to such pains to sell itself as edgy and dangerous that it comes off as anything but. After every breathlessly narrated setup that posited whether Jesse would indeed finally die (spoiler: he doesn't), I couldn't help but hear Homer Simpson shouting, "To the extreme!"
Each episode in the series will involve Jesse undergoing a potentially lethal stunt just because. In the opener, Jesse has his sights set on the nitro bike, an honest-to-God rocket-fueled motorcycle that actually killed a buddy of his in an accident a few years earlier. But one of the show's weaknesses is that James' training, prep and eventual stunt are dragged out over an hour, meaning he winds up doing a lot of tangential things that aren't related to the main event. To get accustomed to higher G forces, James rides in an F-16; to know what it feels like to be in a fire, he's immolated while wearing a special suit; and to see what an accident looks like, well, they just blow up a bike and mannequin. Even James doesn't pretend there's any scientific value to that one: "Come on, we're just blowing shit up. That's what we're doing."
James eventually gets to ride the nitro bike, and after a few false starts, he makes it through the quarter-mile run. That's it. Roll credits. The point of the show isn't to be suspenseful, or even to be entertaining. It's just another Spike show where stuff gets blowed up real good. As such, it's hard to get too worked up over its mediocrity. It's not groundbreaking reality TV, but it's also not the offensive dreck usually associated with the genre. It's a dull but harmless hour of explosions, ideal for background noise while doing laundry, hungover. James would probably approve.

A partition n = p 1 + p 2 + · · · + p k with 1 ≤ p 1 ≤ p 2 ≤ · · · ≤ p k is called non-squashing if p 1 + · · · + p j ≤ p j+1 for 1 ≤ j ≤ k − 1. Hirschhorn and Sellers showed that the number of non-squashing partitions of n is equal to the number of binary partitions of n. Here we exhibit an explicit bijection between the two families, and determine the… (More)
In this work, we consider the function ped(n), the number of partitions of an integer n wherein the even parts are distinct (and the odd parts are unrestricted). Our goal is to consider this function from an arithmetical point of view in the spirit of Ramanujan's congruences for the unrestricted partition function p(n). We prove a number of results for… (More)
In this article, we consider various arithmetic properties of the function p o (n) which denotes the number of overpartitions of n using only odd parts. This function has arisen in a number of recent papers, but in contexts which are very different from overpartitions. We prove a number of arithmetic results including several Ramanujan-like congruences… (More)
Reversed Dickson polynomials over finite fields are obtained from Dickson polynomials D n (x, a) over finite fields by reversing the roles of the indeterminate x and the parameter a. We study reversed Dickson polynomials with emphasis on their permutational properties over finite fields. We show that reversed Dickson permutation polynomials (RDPPs) are… (More)
In 1969, R. F. Churchhouse [2] studied the number of binary partitions of an integer n. That is, Churchhouse proved various properties of the partition function b 2 (n), which counts the number of partitions of n into parts which are powers of 2. Soon after, Andrews [1], Gupta [4–6], and Rodseth [7] extended Churchhouse's results. They considered a… (More)

- CONGRUENCES MODULO, Michael D. Hirschhorn, James A. Sellers
- 2005
A number of arithmetic properties of overpartitions have been proven recently. However, all such results have involved moduli which are powers of 2. In this brief note, we prove the first infinite family of congruences with a modulus that is not a power of 2 by proving that, for all n ≥ 0 and all α ≥ 0, p(9 α (27n + 18)) ≡ 0 (mod 12).
Recently, Sloane and Sellers solved a certain box stacking problem related to non– squashing partitions. These are defined as partitions n = p 1 + p 2 + · · · + p k with 1 ≤ p 1 ≤ p 2 ≤ · · · ≤ p k wherein p 1 + · · · + p j ≤ p j+1 for 1 ≤ j ≤ k − 1. Sloane has also hinted at a generalized box stacking problem which is closely related to generalized… (More)

Who doesn't like some good ol' Oreo cookies, especially when they are spiked with peanut butter and sunk into soft chocolate fudge.
By the time this post goes live I'll probably be somewhere mid-air over the Pacific ocean.
YES! We are going to be back in Canada for the summer. And I have extremely mixed emotions about this. On one hand I am soo excited to see our families again and actually meeting my baby nephew for the first time. Can you believe I never got to hold him yet? Now he is already about to start walking and probably won't care much for being held. Hopefully my sister will allow me to post lots of adorable pictures of the cute chubby chipmunk on here!
On the other hand, leaving behind sunshine, warm (um…HOT!) temperatures, amazing – and oh so cheap – Asian food, and an abundance of tropical fruit (ripe, juicy mangoes, papayas or pineapple anyone?) is everything but exciting. Yes, Southeast Asia clearly has won our hearts! And already we can't wait to come back.
However, monsoon season is about to start, so it will be nice to escape seemingly endless rain showers. And you know what I also won't mind? Being able to bake again! Aside from a short month on Bali we never had a place with an oven in Southeast Asia (I guess it is kind of counter-intuitive to put such a heat-producing machine in an already too warm kitchen).
It was tough for a baking fanatic like me but it has also stretched my inner creative being and lead me to come up with all kinds of no-bake dessert treats like today's Peanut Butter Oreo Chocolate Fudge.
Which brings me to the topic of Oreo cookies in Asia. With so few Asian households having ovens there also comes a scarcity of related ingredients available. Some countries (like Malaysia and Indonesia) where better supplied than others (Thailand, Vietnam) but one "ingredient" that has been available literally EVERYWHERE are Oreo cookies – Yes, I see Oreos as an ingredient and not so much as a treat in itself.
Aside from the original flavor (no Double Stuf though) they even have varieties here that I have never seen in North America. How would you like some Orange Ice Cream Oreos, or maybe Blueberry Ice Cream flavor? (Neither of those taste pretty good btw).
Double Delight – Peanut Butter&Chocolate Cream is much better already, but my absolute favorite Asian Oreo flavor is Strawberry. I used them in this White Chocolate Fridge Cake. I heard there is a Berry Burst flavor available in North America now, but here it is just plain Strawberry flavor. Oh yum! (There may or may not be a few packages of these in my luggage right now.)
Regular Oreos are also always a winner! In my last post on Moody Photography I already showed you that I had spiked up Oreo cookies with peanut butter. I came across this idea on Back For Seconds and thought they would be a fabulous add-in for my newly discovered easy chocolate fudge recipe.
For this fudge version I used a mix of milk and dark chocolate and omitted the salt. The peanut butter-spiked Oreos are placed in the center of the fudge and also make up the crumble topping.
- 28 Oreo cookies
- ¾ cup smooth peanut butter
- 1 can (14 oz.) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 pound (450g) chocolate (I use a mix of milk + dark)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature
- Line a 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment or wax paper with overhang on all sides (for lifting out later).
- Twist open the Oreo cookies, spread a spoonful of peanut butter on the side without filling and sandwich both halves together again. Place the cookies in the fridge or freezer to set up a little.
- Break or chop 12 of the PB filled Oreos into pieces, at least into quarters.
- Chop the chocolate into chunks. Pour sweetened condensed milk in a bowl. Add chocolate pieces and butter.
- Place the bowl on top of a double boiler and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally until the mixture is melted and smooth and has thickened.
- Pour half of the melted fudge mixture into the lined pan. Place whole filled Oreos on top and pour remaining fudge mix over the cookies. Sprinkle the top with the Oreo crumbles.
- Let the fudge set in the fridge for at least 2 hours, then cut into 1" pieces.
Do you see Oreo cookies also rather as an ingredient than a snack in itself?
I'd love to see your favorite creations with Oreos as ingredient!

Culture ShockSanta Fe WayPut on your broomstick skirt and take out a loan to buy dinner—in honor of the International Folk Art Market, it's Culture Shock, Santa Fe-style. Judith Cooper Haden Art NewsTravel the World in the City DifferentSanta Fe International Folk Art MarketOusmane Macina has been making jewelry since he was 7 years old. Unlike American students who decide what careers they'd like to pursue, Macina says he was destined to be a goldsmith. "I didn't have a choice," Macina explains. "I had to do it because it's tradition, and I'm glad I'm doing it." Macina was born in Nioro, Mali. The men in Macina's family have been designing gold jewelry for more than 10 generations. People wear his creations at traditional ceremonies and during the holy month of Ramadan. Macina keeps his familial legacy alive by selling his work at functions like the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market. The event draws crowds of 20,000 people and, in its sixth year, the market will feature 136 artists from 46 countries. Book ReviewShit LitThe Husband HabitAlisa Valdes-Rodriguez, former reporter for the Albuquerque Tribune, has churned out another book as part of her chick-lit moneymaking machine. This one's called The Husband Habit. Because I forced myself to read it, I know that it's about Vanessa Duran, a chef at an upscale Albuquerque restaurant. And—wouldn't you know it?—she has the unlucky habit of unknowingly dating married men. What is a thirtysomething to do? Swear off men, that's what! Of course, that's when a handsome man enters the scene. I wonder what happens? Poetry NewsHardly RestingAn interview with newly crowned Slam Poet Laureate Danny SolisOn Saturday, June 13, some of Albuquerque's top slam poets met at the KiMo to battle it out for the title of Albuquerque Slam Poet Laureate.

When you think of the imagination, do you think of it as as a sacred magical expression of your true self, or do you treat it as a childish fancy, something to be boxed away and forgotten? For many people, the answer unfortunately is the latter...they treat it as a childish fancy and as a result ignore its power, to their detriment. For even when you treat your imagination as a childish fancy you are still applying it to your life, but not in a way that truly empowers you. Your imagination is a double-edged sword and if you don't learn how to work with it as a sacred magical expression you'll miss out on applying one of the most potent magical tools you have that can help you transform possibility into reality and align fortune in your favor.
So how does imagination turn possibility into reality?

... some invaders come full-force, and are a previous unknown to the current inhabitants. Either way, the world will change.
For those familiar with cantrips, you know they are minor acts of magic that have hardly any noticable effect on the world. For example a cantrip to make your food taste better won't heal you any more, or be any more nourishing, just won't make it so hard to get it down. A light cantrip certainly won't be able to blind or even distract anybody, but you might be able flash it to signal someone looking at the right spot.
What if children's nusery ryhmes were a form of cantrip? Like the "Rain, Rain, go away, come again another day." One child singing it wouldn't do more than spare her house a couple raindrops, but what if the whole village got together and was chanting in unison? Each one doing just a bit might actually be able to divert a whole storm...

wikiHow to Babysit a Toddler
Three Parts:Babysitting BasicsEntertaining the ChildActing CorrectlyCommunity Q&A
Babysitting a toddler is different from taking care of children of other ages. Be ready to have fun and take care of his or her every need.
Part 1
Babysitting Basics
1Don't leave them alone. Be alert. Keep an eye on them all the time; you never know what one may try to do, open up, dig out,... fall off or pull down. Don't even leave the room for a second. You would be surprised what kind of mess a toddler can make in the time that you take to use the bathroom. If you are going to get something then take the toddler with you. Keep anything dangerous away form his/her reach.
2Give them snacks in between meals. Toddlers need to eat more often than adults, so give them a snack if they need it. Talk to the parents about what they want the child to snack on. You might give them a drink of juice, water, or milk. Some kids might eat animal crackers or fruit snacks. Watch them when they eat. Learn how to get things out of little children's mouths if they are choking.
- Do not feed the child anything they are allergic to. Their parents should tell you before hand if they are allergic to anything. Make sure that the snacks are not too big that it could choke on. Neither too small that it could swallow without chopping it down.
3Check their diaper regularly: Change it promptly, if it needs it. The smell is usually a strong indicator. If the child is recently toilet trained, ask regularly whether he or she needs to use the bathroom and watch for signs of needing to go. If you wait until the child tells you they have to use the bathroom, it might be too late, and then you have a mess to clean up.
4Bring first-aid supplies. Get your own first aid kit, and cover it with stickers and supply it with fun colorful band-aids. If you can't get those, offer to color on the band-aids when a kid gets hurt. Make sure you have all the important stuff. Call this box the Boo-boo Box. Don't make a big deal about an injury, just say, "Uh-oh! Let's get you a band aid!" This way, they will laugh and be happy.
5Prepare for emergencies. Keep important numbers like the child's doctor, the poison control center, and the parents' cell phones by the home phone. These are vital in an emergency. Only call the parents if necessary or in an emergency, though. You don't want to cause them stress or bother them if they're doing something important.
6Consider getting training. Take a babysitting class with the Red Cross, a local community center, or local community college. They will teach you CPR and useful information if something bad happens. They can also teach you a lot about how to deal with kids effectively and play with them well. These classes are usually cheap, and will look impressive to any parents looking to hire a babysitter.
7Go over the ground rules with the parents. Try to learn as much as you can about the rules the parents have set both for the child and for you. Don't break any rules the parents have, such as bed times and whether or not they can have junk food before bed. Not only is this bad for the kid, but you might even get caught if the child knows how to talk at all. If the child say "Mommy or Daddy always let me _________" don't believe them. Children like to test limits to see if they can get their way.
8Discipline according to the parents rules. If the child needs to be disciplined, make sure you've worked out with the parents ahead of time how that discipline should be handled. Different parents have different rules. Even if you think it's okay to spank, for example, the parents might not believe that and you should respect their wishes.
9Be polite and respectful of the home. Don't go digging in the fridge. It's their food that they buy. They invited you over to watch their child, not for dinner. You should also be respectful of the rest of their home, and not go digging in drawers, cabinets, or closets. You never know when a family has a nanny-cam too, so be careful!
Part 2
Entertaining the Child
1Make a list of activities: Keep them occupied. Kids love to play. Make sure you have loads of toys, building blocks, bring crafts it depends on age, rattles, books, and even spoons. Be creative! Sometimes bringing over some of your old toys will keep them happy. The toys may be old to you, but the toddler will be excited to have toys that are new to them.
- Be prepared to change games multiple times. Kids at that age have a very short attention span.
2Go on a walk or get some exercise. Take them for a walk, in a stroller. Point out different things on the sidewalk or the road. Make a game out of crossing the street safely remember to say to the toddler, "Look left and right. No cars, we can cross!" Eventually, you'll have the toddler saying it with you! You can hold hands and go for a walk too, if they're able to walk, but this should not be for much more than to the end of the street and back.
- Another option is to run around and be crazy with them, but this should be done strategically. You have to spend hours doing this, if you're going to do it before putting them down for bed. Doing just a little bit of crazy play before bed makes them more hyper. Doing a lot for an extended period of time will make them hyper very briefly before they just collapse from exhaustion.
- Bring out your artistic side. Color with crayons. Ask the kid to draw a picture of their family, pet, or their favorite toy. They will enjoy telling you about the things that they like. You can also give the child building bricks or blocks. Help them learn to build different kinds of towers and knock them down, or he or she may act upset if it falls down, but just help them, a little, to build it again.
3Read them a book. Small children, even the very active ones, usually love to read books. Sit on the floor or couch with a book, blanket and a stuffed animal, and read with them. Put the toddler on your lap to read the story. They love cuddles! Goodnight Moon, Green Eggs and Ham, and Are You My Mother? are good book choices for most toddlers.
- Show pictures in a book that has pictures of farm or zoo animals. Say, "Do you see the doggy? I see the doggy! Where's the horse? There's the horse!" Kids love to show what they know, and will soon be pointing them out to you.
- Describe an animal and ask what sound it makes. Examples could be cows, horses, and pigs. Start being a little bit silly. Make animal sounds or noises for any books with animals. Get the child to make the sounds too.
4Sing a song. Sing a classic nursery rhyme, or something that they would know. Maybe they can even suggest one! Kids love songs, especially songs with lots of clapping and moving around. Old MacDonald, Hokey Pokey, Wheels on the Bus, Incy Wincy (or Itsy Bitsy) Spider, and anything from Raffi's extensive collection of children's songs are great for small children.
5Play sorting games. If the child is a slightly older toddler, you can teach them how to sort toys by kind, size, color, or what it does. Sort again by a different rule.
6Teach them colors. If there or solid color shapes or toys, when the child picks up one of them say the color excitedly like it's a game: "Red!",... "Blue!",... "Green!" When they start to get it, say something like, "Can you put all the reds together? What toy is red? Show me." so that they can practice identifying colors.
- Call-out the color when you put one in a group and when the child puts one in, or takes one, or works with them or messes up a pile.
7Play counting games. Count toys up to 5 or 6 if they seem interested in numbers. Encourage them to count even it it is mixed up. Don't make a fuss about mistakes. Give them lots of examples of each number, by making several piles of two or three toys.
8Don't overload them with options. Present the toys one at a time, when playing with toys. This helps because if there are many toys to choose from at once, they'll only play with the pile for a few moments and get bored and the house will be messy. Ask the toddler to help you clean up, and make a game out of it. Thank them for helping, this will make them feel good and want to help again.
- If there is only one toy, they'll stick with it until they get bored, and you can hand them another one, but later offer 2 or 3 related toys because sometimes they tend to play with more than one toy at a time.
Part 3
Acting Correctly
1Be kind. Don't say harsh things or get angry. Don't be sarcastic, because you will only confuse the child, if they are old enough to understand some words. It is okay to "pretend anger, playfully," as if insulted or pretending amusement, etc. Be a clever actor, but not too silly, be kind of serious, and use the pretending to teach.
- You can show hurt feelings from a child's actions or words, however. Realize that though they may say anything, they usually don't mean it, and they usually get over it very quickly. Just pretend shock, giggle and chuckle at their smarting off or their cute actions, they should cooperate (better than if you were to have a war of wills and serious words).
- Happily explain what you really mean, in a gentle way, but don't be surprised that they make a game of touching things and looking at you to see how you react, just say "no-no". Try to give an alternative activity.
2Be careful what you say! Never call the child a Brat, Bratface, Rugrat, Pest, bad words, Ankle Biter, etc. Toddlers are great at picking up words and you never know what they'll repeat to their parents! Also, some families might believe some words are rude when you think they are not. For example, instead of " Stupid", try "Silly" instead.
3Be comforting at bedtime. If the toddler wakes up and starts screaming or crying for their mom or dad, just sit with them and softly say "shhhh" and tell them "It's okay; I'm here." If they mention wanting mommy or daddy, tell them that when they wake up, their mommy will be there and give them lots of kisses. They need to know that everything will go back to normal soon.
- Don't bring up their parent if they don't though. That will only upset them.
- You can also try singing them lullabies. And rock them on a rocking chair.
Community Q&A
How can I get the toddler to fall asleep?wikiHow ContributorYou could try singing to the toddler or giving them at least a couple of minutes to try to fall asleep naturally. Make sure you leave a baby monitor on so that you don't miss them crying if they fail to fall asleep or wake up.
How do I get a toddler to sleep when they're crying?wikiHow ContributorGive them something they like or read them a story. Younger children change how they feel very easily, so any source of comfort can help them to calm down.
How can I make conversation with a toddler?wikiHow ContributorAsk the toddler lots of questions, like what activities they enjoy, what their parents do and what things are around the house.
What do I do if I don't have an aid kit with me, and I don't know if the parents have one in their house?wikiHow ContributorAsk the parents before they leave. This is important. If they don't have one, ask them what to do if someone gets hurt.
What do I do with a toddler who has a temper?wikiHow ContributorFirst off, you'll want to make sure you've checked with his parents about how they want you to discipline him. Time-out is a pretty popular choice these days: you give him a warning if he's misbehaving, and if he doesn't heed it, he sits on his time-out chair for the number of minutes equal to his age (ex. if he's two-ears-old, two minutes). If it's a purely matter of him being unable to calm down (but not necessarily being disobedient or destructive), you can give him a few minutes of "quiet time" on the chair or someplace safe. When he's calm, he gets to get up.
What if I have to use the bathroom? Do I take the toddler/baby with me?wikiHow ContributorPut the baby or toddler in a crib/play pen with toys, and maybe a bottle. If there are pets in the house, make sure they cannot access the area where you're leaving the baby.
What do you do if a child uses a toilet training seat, but refuses to use it?wikiHow ContributorAsk them nicely, then suggest that they wear a diaper or answer to their parents for any mess they make in their pants.
Would you still suggest the same things for an 11-year-old babysitting a 1-year-old?wikiHow ContributorYes, anyone babysitting a child this young should follow these steps. They will work well with the little child and will teach the older child responsibility.
What happens if the toddler continuously cries?wikiHow ContributorIt may need food or a diaper change. It may miss its parents. It may be sick, so take its temperature and check its vital signs. It may not like you. It may be fussy. It may be tired.
What do I do when he/she is throwing toys?Tell him no. If the kid keeps doing it, take the toys away.

- Keep the kids distracted by something at all times or they will mess the house up
- If the toddler starts to miss his parents, distract him with activities.
- Always bring a bag with a first aid kit, extra toys, and your toothbrush, and anything else you need. If you stay late, brush your teeth with the kids so it will be a better experience.
- Bring toys that are safe and labeled age appropriate.
- When you ABSOLUTELY HAVE to leave the room, put the child in a bouncer, crib, or playpen. Keep an ear out for them no matter how secure you think they are.

- Never leave him or her alone!
- Toddler needs to be changed and diaper checked. If the parent has no idea, do the diaper checking yourself.

- If the child is asleep,clean up the house it makes you look and feel more responsible then you already are.
- Don't get them excited or hyper at bedtime. It's not time for wrestle mania or anything like that. Tell them a story you made up, NOT A SCARY ONE. A one about G.I. Joe saving Barbie from Dr. Doofenschmirtz or whatever.
- If the kid can not sleep bring a book (unless provided) to read to the toddler as a bedtime story and make sure it's age appropriate.
- Follow the parent's procedures.
- If they are afraid of monsters fill a spray bottle with water and say it will repel monsters.
- If the kid has done something in their pants and not made it to the toilet in time, don't get cross; just say "whoops" and help them get changed in to new clothes.
- Don't open the door for anyone while babysitting unless the parent gives consent.
- Although it may be tempting, don't let the toddler stay up late. Usually the parents will have given you the time for the toddler to go to bed. If not, call them or put the toddler to bed when he/she looks tired.
- Make sure you've taken a babysitting class or first-aid class. In many cases, these are required in order to babysit for someone.

- Keep Junior away from tables they can hit their heads on and sharp dangerous things.
- Learn how to get things out of toddler's mouths if they start to choke.
- If you just put on the TV the whole time, the toddler will get bored. Try different activities like listening to music, having a snack, playing with a pet, going in the backyard, or playing a game like patty-cake.
- Avoid giving toddlers rounded foods like grapes or hot dogs.Most toddlers don't chew food very well.Cut them into non-rounded shapes.Also,avoid nuts ,very chewy meat(meat should be very soft and tender)and chips.
- If they start crying, change the diaper, feed or cuddle them. If they won't stop crying, start singing, that should help! If they start screaming, just take them for a walk in the stroller, the movement is calming.
- Toddlers also love to color so bring some crayons and some coloring sheets that have a picture of something they enjoy (ex. princesses, cars, trains or fun characters from shows).
