Kids Garbage Truck Videos

If your 2 year old is like my son, trash day is a major highlight in the week.  Who knew?    He can hear them miles away and starts screaming with joy.  "Garbage truck!  Garbage truck!  Hear That? " Then he's so excited his whole body shakes as he clenches his fist when he smiles with joy.

I'll have what he's having please.: )

Since the garbage man can't come everyday, we've resorted to YouTube videos on the day we miss him.  I know, I don't like my son watching too many videos, but a few minutes of pre-screened videos can really get you through the day.  I'm amazed that my son can be so entertained by dumpsters and trash cans.  Side-loaders, Front-loaders, etc.

Here's a tribute to our friendly neighborhood garbage  (recycling) man.  Now we can watch our own video over and over.

Enjoy.

Giveaway for New Moms!

I wish I had one of these when I was a new mom.   It's called my bum book.  It was created by mother of 2, Cory Kingston. It's basically a baby journal and keepsake that helps you track your baby's feedings, dirty diapers, nap times and other milestones. 

This would have been much better than the little worksheet grid that the hospital gave me and then the random notebooks and sheets of paper I used to track all my baby's sleep, eat, pee, poop schedules.  I still have them in the corner of my office if you can believe it.   They are a mess of chicken scratches on paper that I haven't gotten around to throwing away yet.   I will probably not keep them since they are not very organized, but if I used this book I might have kept it as a keepsake.

It's actually very simple.  The first few pages help you keep track of basic information-pediatrician, poison control, emergency information, immunizations, and growth stats.   Then it's basically a 2 month 24/7  grid to help you track your baby's schedule all in one place.  The simple layout allows you to see trends and patterns. It helps keep you neat and organized which is what a new mom needs.
