This is our favorite item this summer!  The Puddle Jumper!

It is approved by the US Coast Guard as a flotation device for kiddos.

My little tot is 16 months and he loves the freedom that this device gives him.

I love it because it does not force him face down in the water.

He  learned very quickly how to lean back and wet his hair and maneuver himself in the water.

He weighs 23 lbs and the wt  on the packaging is 30 lbs. 

However I found that it fits him snuggly and it takes mommy power to 

get the "armies" off. 

The  device clips in the back and is adjustable and fits my little guy just right.

You can find these online at Walmart or Amazon.  Buy Buy Baby in stores.

Of course never allow  your child to be near water unsupervised.

1000 children die each ear from drowning.

Please always have your eyes on your child near water.

Happy and safe swimming!

Welcome to Tot Tuesday!
 Take what you will and 

share what you want.

Hope you enjoy the 1st post for Tot Tuesday.

Let us know what you think!

Valentines Day is coming soon and 
it is time to start thinking hearts!!!

I just love the idea from Blonde Designs!
Super cute felt envelopes on the
 back of the chair waiting to be filled with 
love notes from mommy and daddy. 
This is a fun idea for the 14 days 
leading up to Valentines don't you think?

She purchased hers but I think it

would be a simple DIY.

All you need is red and white felt,

 ribbon to glue to the back to tie to the chair, 

red twine or embroidering thread for the stitches, 

of course scissors and a sewing machine or glue.

Would be a fun tradition to start for every year!

These are so cute and simple to do...Here is a tutorial 

from the Design Mom.

My Favorite Toddler things

So these are my favorite sippy cups so far! We started using them about a month ago and so far they don't leak at all (unless you forget to put the stoppers in)! These are the only ones I have found so far that really don't leak! They are suggested for 12m+ and I can see that because they are a little fat so its hard for a smaller baby to hold them. They are playtex insulator cup. You can randomly find them at Target's "through Saturday Sales" for a two pak for $4.99.
