We're going through a nearly naked baby phase. I'm quite positive my neighbors are growing tired of seeing the diaper look Mimi sports...anyway...I'm going down a bunny trail and off the path of the blog.
The healthcare executive in me is surfacing here. Take it for what it's worth.
Recent studies have shown a dramatic increase in the past few years of cavities in toddlers. Meaning everything from the small to the root canal and even on to let's damage permanent teeth variety. Dental hygiene is critical. The cause is being attributed to everything from bottled water lacking fluoride to sticky fruit snacks to juice. I read the study and promptly took Miss Monster to the dentist.
After the dentist visit I took her to daycare where I was given the monthly flier. April 6th Egg Hunt. Please bring large pre-filled eggs to the class.
Hmmm....what to fill a large plastic egg for toddlers with? I had the same dilemma for the basket at the house for Easter morning.
I asked the school..you know...stickers..stuff...
I can't be sticking stickers in eggs for toddlers to choke on.
45 minutes into staring at shelves in Target I break down and ask my spouse for input.
He comes up with sticky fruit snacks. I cringe, but fresh out of better ideas buy the snacks and stuff the eggs.
Pick her up from school..apparently all other parents had the exact same idea. We munched on fruity snacks. She and I..and then we brushed.
And the Easter basket at the house? Bubbles. Bubble Machine.
Required a ton of batteries and a gallon of bubble juice.
File it under toys that matter..and...well...make that dental appointment for a check up if you haven't.
