It's a toy that suctions to the table and spins around, but unlike other similar versions, it actually stays stuck and makes noise and music. M loves it, and it makes leaving him in his chair for a bit (to prepare food, usually) no problem. Not sure the name of it but it's in the baby aisles, not the toy aisles, maybe by the bibs.<br /><br />Love the pics of the balcony! I just discovered that too, and I got a cute baby pool that actually fits on the balcony! It was adorable and only $5. M is just now "understanding" that the pool is fun to splash around in. This one comes with little blow up toys he likes. I blew it up myself - filled it with two kitchen buckets of water. Easy and a lot of fun, plus our wifi reaches to our porch!<br /><br />http://www.amazon.com/Mushroom-Baby-Pool-40-X35/dp/B000L5PKVI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1307898069&sr=1-1-catcorrElleMurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01585481665526225076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649821324449340934.post-50192988945064752392011-06-08T20:42:34.790-05:002011-06-08T20:42:34.790-05:00For the scheduling...I have gotten so COMPLETELY f...For the scheduling...I have gotten so COMPLETELY forgetful with running my own biz, two kids, preschool, mommy and me class, swim lessons, gymnastics...there is always SOMETHING going on!! So I bought myself a really cute notebook that goes with me EVERYWHERE!!! Because if I think of it I NEED to write it down NOW or poof, forgotten. So that is very helpful and then I cross things off and rip out pages when they are accomplished. As for the strict schedule..DON'T DO IT!! because if you don't get it done you will be disappointed. You need to give yourself a few things each week that you REALLY want to get done and give yourself a week to get it done...you never know how long those naps will be or if something comes up and you need to change your plans. So make a weekly list that WILL get done by the end of the week and then your general list so if it doesn't get crossed off by the end of the week you won't be disappointed.Nicolenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649821324449340934.post-49897730072315293772011-06-08T19:47:28.545-05:002011-06-08T19:47:28.545-05:00Naps are the only time to get things done that nee...Naps are the only time to get things done that need 100% of your time, just wait till he is down to 1 a day! Baby proofing while great, in reality the entire world is not baby proof. time to set limits for him and teaching what is his what is not and what he can two finger touch. After 3 children and one toddler still my rules is ask mommy you can have it, cant have it or two finger touch it. I have never baby proofed fully.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2649821324449340934.post-20814448474694732542011-06-08T19:45:07.654-05:002011-06-08T19:45:07.654-05:00First of all, you look gorgeous! Second, I totall...First of all, you look gorgeous! Second, I totally know what you mean! We've babyproofed in the sense that our dog, Abbey, eats stuff if we leave it around so it's typically pretty neat around here. We added padding to the edges of the coffee table because Emma pulls herself to standing and was bumping her head on it all the time. We have outlet covers but I haven't put them on yet and we have cabinet door/drawer thingies but I haven't done those yet either. Could you designate a craft room or space for your work? maybe only work at the table so everything stays in one place? Work on top of a sheet or blanket so that you can just fold it up and stick it somewhere? <br /><br />Oh, and I need a schedule too. I'm working on coming up with something reasonable but it's hard and I don't want to feel like I'm disappointing myself if I can't stick to it.<br /><br />Good luck mama!!
