Activities for Aiden

Last week I focused on finding healthy meals for Aiden.  This week I focused on finding new activities to try and do with him.  I found a recipe for finger painting. This I tried and it was quite fun for him. I also found some games to try to help with his intellectual development.  I am eager to try some of these games to see if he likes them.  Most of the times, we just play but I would like to try some of these games to see if he likes them.  I don' want to be that mom who focuses so much on education because I want him to be a kid and have fun. But I want him to grow intellectually too.  It's so hard when you are a teacher because you feel people are going to judge your children because they should be smart. But I am always going to make sure I do what is best for Aiden.

I have had such a great experience using this blog.  I was able to get some grade advice from my website justmommies.com. I was also able to get some encouragement from them. All the members on the site consistently used positive digital citizenship.  I also enjoyed getting the positive comments from my classmates. Many of them also practiced digital citizenship.   Blogging also helps clear my head as well. I think I will start a new blog just for me. What a great experience!

Trying to Eat Healthy

Well this week I decided to get some ideas on how to keep Aiden eating healthy.  I posted if anyone had any ideas on how to get my fussy toddler to eat healthier. It was great to hear such great advice and congratulations that I was trying to keep my son healthy.  I have not tried any of the recipes yet but I plan on trying them this weekend.  I am hoping that Aiden likes eating some of the meals I plan. I am tired of feeding him the same things over and over again. But I am also tired of making him something he won't eat and then just throwing it away.  It really has been great to have such positive feedback from all these mothers.  I am so glad I have experienced an environment where they practice positive digital citizenship.
