Don’t worry if your baby isn’t trendy
Babies and young children need loving calm stable human companionship more than endless classes and stimulus. They grow by responding to human voices and touch, and they love having lullabies sung to them.
So claims a childcare expert, Sylvie Hetu, who in her book Too Much, Too Soon? notes that babies nowadays have “schedules that are as important as those of adults.” She goes on: “Baby music, baby yoga, baby gym, baby singing, baby salsa, baby language, baby Einstein, and baby swim classes are very common nowadays.” She goes on: “All cultures in the world have lullabies. But this is the first generation of parents who do not routinely and intuitively sing to their babies.” So – next time you feel a surge of love for your baby, sing to it!
Why you should NOT share your Easter egg with the dog
This is good news for any chocoholic: DON’T share your Easter chocolate with your dog. It could kill it – quite literally.
Expensive brands of chocolate and cocoa-rich chocolate have high levels of theobromine in them. It is a chemical compound which is harmless to humans, but lethal to dogs. Even a 30g bar of dark chocolate can contain more than 700mg of theobromine, enough to kill a small dog such as a cocker spaniel. Toxicity symptoms include vomiting, hyperactivity, salivation, increase in heart rate and fits.
Have you ever considered that….
~ A bird in the hand is safer than two overhead.
~ A narrow mind and a wide mouth usually go together.
~ A penny saved is a ridiculous waste of time.
~ A stitch in time would have confused Einstein.
~ No woman ever shot a man while he was doing dishes.
~ We need to save the earth. It’s the only planet with chocolate.
