Today's Words Of Glass

My son was in speech from a very young age. I knew that he wasn't 'babbling' the way that his peers were. So I pushed for testing. He qualified. Long story short, I pushed for testing again when he was older and got him moved to work with a speech therapist ( at a younger age than most would have ). He tested out of speech. But when he was 2, his speech teacher suggested that I put him in preschool. I hadn't even entertained the idea! I planned to put him in at 3, but not 2. After some discussion with Hubby, I checked into it. Talk about being nervous. This was the first time that I had been away from Lil Man, and the first time that I had trusted anyone to care for him. It was the best thing ever - for us .

I have been compensated in the form of a gift card/money/coupon and/or received the product/service at a reduced price or for free. All opinions expressed are mine and honest in nature. I don't know about you, but I'm always on the lookout for a great educational program for Lil Man. Even though he's only 3.5, I am still curious to see what's out there. I was given the opportunity to review the RedApple Reading program, and I was an instant fan. Setting up a parent account was easy. After that was completed, you set up an account for your child. The child then logs in to reach his or her account. (Of course, the parent can log in and see progress reports and take care of administrative duties). Since Lil Man is only 3.5, I logged in for him. At this point, a lot of the the reading program was a little more advanced for him. It is designed for children 4-9. But with my help he enjoyed it. And with more practice, I believe he will better understand the concepts...

  Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience. Ever since Lil Man was a baby, before he even had teeth, we introduced brushing his teeth (at that point gums). And we have been faithful since with making sure he brushes his teeth. We've always just used a children's toothbrush. But then I heard about the Baby Buddy 360 Toothbrush The Baby Buddy 360 Toothbrush claims that it:  Removes almost 2X more plaque than the usual toothbrush  Round shape: Gently yet efficiently brushes teeth, tongue and gums simultaneously No edges for a more comfortable experience Soft, microfiber bristles, contains 10X more bristles than the average toothbrush Enables water-only brushing – no toothpaste needed for small children So we put it to our own little test.  Lil Man found it very easy use. He liked that he could turn it around and around ;) He liked that ...

In fact, he watched it three times the first day we received it. And he's already watched it twice more today. So I'm going to say that this is a big hit for him. This is actually his first "Veggie Tales" dvd. And I see many more in our future.  I'm sure most of you have heard of Veggies...
