Product Praise


While preparing the boys for daycare, I remembered that one of the requirements is that every bottle sent has to be labeled with the current date, time it was prepared, contents, and child's name. This procedure was required even back when I worked with infants. What I remember from back then was that the labels would fall apart in the warmer and leave a sticky residue on the bottle. Yuck. So I was on a mission to find a product out there that would fill the bill for bottle labeling without falling apart or ruining my bottles. The product I found and love is Baby Bottle Labels from Coolpacifiers.com. It looks like a personalized silicone bracelet for bottles and sippy cups. It's different from other sites silicone labels because they leave you room on the back of it to write (with a ball point pen) date, time, contents and even allergies! It washes off each time and is dishwasher safe. Since we've purchased them we've received plenty of praise from the boys' caregivers at school. This site also has super cute personalized pacifiers too.

First Day of School...or Daycare.

The boys' first day of school was on August 1st and had a great day. I'll admit I had the "you're doing everything wrong" freak out on their caregivers mainly due to my guilt and anxiety of being away from them. It's all good now. I put myself in check and got over myself.

My mom called me that night to ask how it all went and I was super sad because I now get, maybe, two waking hours with them a weekday. She asked if I took pictures, which I did. Not because I wanted to mark this huge event, but to have a recent photo for the police if they were kidnapped from school. They're super cute. Who wouldn't want to steal them. (My mom laughed at how messed up this was. I'm glad she has a sense of humor.)

They've been in school a while now and seem cool with it. I hope they still feel this way tomorrow, Monday, because they are being moved to the big kid (mobile babies) room. I'm actually excited for this. They'll be in a room were they'll sing more songs, paint, and play outside more. Woo Hoo!!!
