Children of all ages need tickets to London Olympics, parents outraged

Some of the headlines for the story in the press read “Breastfeeding moms furious…..”, but the decision affects all parents.  If you’ll be going to the London Olympics then you’ll need to purchase a ticket regardless of how old, or young your child is.

If you go to Walt Disney World or take a flight, then the rule is that if they’re 2 or under, they’re free and sitting in your lap.  That’s a great rule.  Continue reading Children of all ages need tickets to London Olympics, parents outraged

LeapFrog’s My Own Leaptop is the iPad killer….for toddlers

Toddler Mojo loves the iPad.  When he was younger, i.e., more controllable, he’d sit in my lap and go through some of the learning apps for children.  Now that he’s 27 month old, he’s well into being a toddler and wants to control anything and everything.  With the iPad, that doesn’t work out so well; it’s expensive and it might frustrate the toddler mind which would then cause Hulk like rage and the throwing of expensive electronics.

Continue reading Daylight Savings Time, children and the timeline of a parent

The Life and Times of a 2 year old toddler

The 2-year-old toddler is a running, curious creature.  Imagine the one thing that you don’t want him to do, go into or pick up and that’s exactly what they’ll do.  It’s like the Star Wars Jedi training orb, but instead of shooting lasers they’ll misplace dad’s car keys, cell phone or the remote control.
