Playing With Baby C C's Mom

Baby C tells his Mom he wants to vote so they cast his ballot for the midterm elections.

Baby C’s Mom shares her feelings on an article in which Adele is quoted as saying she yearns a bit for the person she was before becoming a Mom. She ties it in to her experience of pandemic parenting and how something as simple as putting away groceries is so much different than she thought it would be.

We'll be on a little hiatus for the holiday.  Back in the New Year with more play!

Baby C's Mom describes how Baby C (almost 2!) is learning to clean up his toys.  

These are the fruit toys she mentions:  Battat Farmers Market Basket Toy Kitchen Accessories Pretend Cutting Play Fruit Set For Toddlers

Baby C's Mom describes how Baby C gave up his pacifier, his first dental visit and how they're brushing his teeth.  These are the videos (Cocomelon Wheels On The Bus & Songs For Littles) they use during teeth brushing:

Please excuse the lack if intro and outro.  Baby C's Mom is solo parenting this week!  You can find us on instagram @playingwithbabyc

This is a non-critical book review of Sometimes I Like To Curl Up In A Ball, by Vicki Churchill.  This book is for ages 2-6 but Baby C has been enjoying since he was one.  Baby C likes to scream and we've used one of the rhymes (fun recording included) to help diffuse it.

Baby C's Mom explains how they're using play to learn about trees.  While researching ETK (Early Transitional Kindergarten aka Public Preschool) options, Baby C's Mom gets inspired to talk to Baby C about trees.  She starts by learning songs.

These are the websites she mentions:
