Sensory Play

                                                           

Sensory Activities are My favorite thing to do with Layla.  She loves touching, smelling, exploring all of the different things I give her. I have been doing Sensory Activities since she was little and i don;t plan on stopping any time soon.

I have Also been finding SO many more amazing activities on pinterest.com that I wouldn't have thought of on my own.  I can't believe all the creative Mothers out there!

I just wanted to share some of the fun activities that we HAVE done and also promote some of these other Bloggers pages-Because they are THAT amazing!



   WHIPPED CREAM FUN

Layla Playing with Whipped cream at 12 months old.  

She loved smacking it and rubbing it on herself.  Dude(the Dog was more than happy to lap all the splatters up!), Surprisingly she didn't try to eat it even though i tried to encourage her to use as many senses as possible with this activity.


                                                                                                         
 BAKING FUN

Baking is always a fun Sensory Activity.
I am not much of a baker myself but whenever I do attempt it, I always make sure that Layla is awake and gets to be involved.  She loves pouring all the ingredients in and mixing with her many wooden spoons.  And of course licking the spoon at the end!




 PAINTING FUN

Painting is one of Layla favorite things as well.

Finger Painting is more up her ally than anything else.  She LOVES getting messy and feeling the paint between her fingers.  The messy part is what we, as parents, have to get used to.  Its the best way for children to learn!!!


PLAY DOUGH FUN

Home Made Play dough or store bought, either one is a fun sensory activity for your little one.  Layla, like any one year old, tried to taste is many times.  It is okay for them to do this, even most store bought play doughs are non-toxic.  If you don't want them putting it in their mouth just let them know by saying "no mouth" or "yucky" when they try.

Here is a link if you would like to MAKE your own Play dough:

   PAINTING WITH JELLO    
                                                          

 Growing a Jeweled Rose is one of my favorite Blogs!  She has so many amazing activities including a Massive list of Sensory activities to explore.

 SHAVING CREAM AND FOOD COLORING FUN

 Layla Played for about 45 minutes in the bath tub with Shaving Cream and food coloring.  It didn't stain and it was easy to wash off as soon as we were done.  As a Mom, I LOVE bath tub activities because the clean-      up is SO easy!!!!




  RICE PLAY

I gave Layla some rice in a bowl, measuring cups, and old "tummy Tickler" bottles and she was content for about 30 minutes pouring and sorting the rice.  The texture was different and I made sure she had a full belly before starting this project.  

                                                   

PAINTING WITH CELERY

This was a lot of fun and Layla thought it was so cool that she was painting with food.  As always with the painting activities i stripped her down and did it on the tile floor.  You will see where i got the idea in this woman's blog post.  Layla creations did not look like a rose presented in this bloggers post but she had fun just the same and that's all that matters.

Well those are some of the Activities that Layla and I have tried so far but we are not even close to done!  Check out these bloggers ideas and have some awesome Sensory Fun with your children!

Your Child's Cues

Layla is now 11 months old, and she has started to hit.

Oh No!  I was not expecting my sweet little cuddly baby to have aggression like this.  She hits me, Daddy and the dog, she even hit Memere when she was here this past weekend.  I was flabbergasted and dumbfounded...I didn't think I was going to have to use the time-out method or discipline with her so early in her little life, and the truth is I don't!

Layla is not hitting because she's mad or showing aggression...I mean how can she have aggressive feelings before her first birthday!?!  I am "listening" to her CUES now, instead of being in shock that she was actually exhibiting this behavior and have realized that she's just TIRED!

Layla was trying to communicate with me.  She is 11 months old and not talking much yet so she did not know how to tell me she was ready for a nap.  Hitting was her way of getting my attention and letting me know what she wanted.  I took her to bed as soon as she started exhibiting this behavior today and she instantly layed down and went to sleep.

DUH!  How did I not get this sooner?

Now that I know why she is "showing out" and "making bad choices" I can help her to change that behavior into something positive.

I can teach her a way to communicate with me more effectively than using her hands!  As soon as I lay her down today i decided I would learn the sign for "nap" or "tired".  When she starts to show me she is tired in her usual negative way,hitting, I will show her the sign for "tired" and put her down for a nap.  This is showing her I understand what she needs but there is another way of expressing this me.

I will keep you updated on how Layla responds to this new method.  Also if you have realized that your child is exhibiting this same behavior please try this and update me on your child's progress!

The sign for "tired" is...

Here is the sign for "sleep"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUyXhxeunF4




Use the sign that you think will be easiest for your child, I think i am going to try the sing for "Tired" myself.

Again I will keep you updated on her progress and please keep me updated on yours!  Also comment If you have any questions at all:-)

Happy Fathers Day!

Happy Fathers Day to All You Fathers and Men who act like Fathers out there!!  You do an Amazing thing for the children you love! All children need a Father figure in their life whether it be their actual Dad or an Uncle, cousin, God-father, friend.....

I am lucky enough to have an Amazing husband and father to my beautiful daughter and would like to share some pictures of his First Fathers day!!

He spent most of his day actually watching ME in a play at the local community theater, so much for the day being all about him:-)  He is such a sport about it and said that his day was perfect anyways:-)

My parents were in town to see my show and we got to spend the whole weekend with family which is always nice since none of them live close!

Layla only got one nap since they spent a good part of the day watching my show so we put her to bed super early...the reason for the Pj's in broad daylight:-)







Although i know James would have loved relaxing and reading his book tonight, instead he took the time to bathe Layla, make her a bottle, read her multiple books and lay her down and was even the first one to get up and go running when she woke up crying.

I am bragging on my husband because i feel truly blessed and know that not all fathers are as dedicated and loving as he is:-)

Tell the fathers or father figures in your life how special they are to you, I know mine are to me!

Singing To Baby

We have talked about reading with your baby and signing with your baby now lets talk about the importance and the FUN of singing with/to your baby!

First of all when I say your "baby" I mean YOUR baby, which could mean your five year old but you know your baby is ALWAYS going to be your baby.

Alright enough with the word baby...lets talk about singing! La La La!!!!!

You may think you have an awful singing voice and honestly you may, but that doesn't mean that your child doesn't want to hear you singing to them!  Singing with your child can help them learn some very important things, like body parts and sounds, but what I bet you didn't know is that singing to your baby can seriously help their language skills.  A lot of the children that I have personally come across throughout my many years as a preschool teacher, used their first words while singing a song!

My baby, Layla, says the word "baby" all the time and I truly believe it is because daily, and sometimes hourly I sing her the song....

Layla, Layla BABY
Layla, Layla BABY
Laaaaayla, Layla BAAAAABY!
(TUNE ON SHERRY BABY by, The 4 Seasons)

Layla also LOVES dancing and moving to Music and I believe it is because we sing to her often.  Singing to your children can help with coordination and learning certain specific movements!


(Daniel Dwase, editor of the online Child Development Guide, agreed that nursery rhymes set to music can aid a child's development. But, he added, teaching a child to dance is also important.

"Music assists in the development of a child's speech," he said. "Singing nursery rhymes and simple songs teaches children how language is constructed and assists with the acquisition of language. Singing songs with your child will also teach them about tone, beat and rhythm.

"Even better than just singing, though, is to teach songs with actions and encourage your child to dance along to the music, they will learn balance, co-ordination, body awareness and rhythm," he said.END.http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/may/08/singing-children-development-language-skills)

Here is a list of some songs that I Love to sing with Layla and That I think will be beneficial to your child's development! 
1.The Itsy Bitsy Spider

2.The wheels on the bus. ( It's good to get a refresher!  Plus these girls are...funny.haha.)

            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGT6CaDkGwQ&feature=related

3.Head Shoulders Knees and Toes.(Gotta love The Wiggles)

            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFuZ6LPDYQc. 

4.You are my sunshine. (This Video also teaches you how to use ASL with this song.)
         
            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KzM0oa9ZxGY)

5.ABC. ( I sign the alphabet while I sing her this).

            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wMQHd1UBkeI

6.Shake your sillies out.  (I LOVED Rafi when i was little!)

            http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZde3-0RjrM


Those are just some and there are of course many many more!  Start with some of these, you will be surprised how attentive your child will be while you are singing to them and if you add movements you will love watching them learn and soon start to move and sing with you!

How great is that! And such an easy and fun thing to do! Everybody likes to sing, don't deny it, it's just that most of us only do it in the shower!!  But now we can have an audience that will applaud and love us even if we are tone def!! Wonderful News!

I have talked about reading to your child and I think it is even more fun when you add songs and movement in there as well, it also keeps your little ones attention as well!Here is a list of some songs that I Love to sing with Layla and That I think will be beneficial to your child's development!

Nap Time Drama-Update!

I know most people who read my post on Nap Time drama and have a little one themselves understood what i was going through:-)
I got the most feedback about that post, and i would like to give you a little update on how my nap time drama is going now.

Layla now goes to sleep on her own!  It's amazing and it just took some consistency on my part. I realized i was the one to blame for the nap time meltdowns, because i gave into them.

There were times that i wanted to cuddle with her to help her go to sleep, and while i will not ever say cuddling with your child is a bad thing, you need to know the difference between doing it for them and doing it for you.

I was doing it for me!  I was being selfish and wanted that closeness with her and also didn't want to deal with the meltdown that would happen if i layed her down in her crib and "made" her go to sleep.  Layla was following MY cues.  She knew that if she cried loud enough and long enough Mommy would come back in and  cuddle her until she fell asleep.  But that's when the dreaded transfer i talked about in the last post would happen.  I would try and transfer her into her crib and she would wake up and cry for me to hold her again and as soon as i picked her up she would instantly fall asleep!

How am I, or any mother for that matter supposed to get ANYTHING done, if you are engaging and playing with your child when they are awake and then cuddling with them and holding them when they are asleep.  There are no hand free times during the day to get anything else done.  So i put my foot down.

Layla now knows that when i put her in her crib and cuddle her up with her blankets(make sure your child is old enough and mobile enough to have blankets in their crib) and turn on her soft music that it is time for sleep. I wont say she wont stand up and cry for a couple minutes but the more consistent i am with this process the less time she actually cries.  Every day the crying got less until she finally just stopped.

She sometimes gets up and looks around after i lay her down to see where i am and see if she could get away with some nap time drama and get held again.  But she now knows, and this only took about a week and a half consistently having the same nap time routine, that when Mommy leaves the room it is time to go to sleep.  And she does.

Children are so incredibly intelligent and can pick up on things quickly, but they are taking the cues from you.  If you let them they will continually give you some nap time drama until you give in.  But if you put your foot down and gently ease into a routine that they can grasp and understand, they will feel more comforted and you will get a lot more done during your day!

So here are the Main things i think helped me in this process...

1. Have a Routine.
      -Nap around the same time every day.
      -The same Soft music playing every Nap time.
      -The same lead up to nap time everyday.(Bottle, snack, Sippy cup, show,song...something they can connect with winding down for nap.  We are still using a bottle but this will change when she turn one and we will have to find something else that she connects with napping)
2. Be Consistent.(The crying is hard to hear,I know!  But everyday it will get easier for you and your child, and in the long run your child will feel more comforted and safe by knowing the same thing is going to happen everyday.)
3. Don't rush in as soon as they crying happens. (I may still go in one or two more times with Layla, but it is just to lay her down again and cuddle her up with some blankets and usually after one time of me going in  and doing this she knows there is no point in the fight and just goes to sleep.)
4. Trust your instincts.(Your a Momma and you know your baby way better than I do, do what you feel is right for your little one.)

So Happy to be getting back into the blogging mode:-)
I hope you keep stopping in to see whats happening at Mama's Cozy Corner( and Mama's Cozy Boutique for that matter!)

Layla learned "So Big"....she is getting so big i cant handle it!!!

Cherish Life

I am so incredibly thankful for my family and don't know what I would do if I lost Layla or James.  But, that's what almost happened last night.
James and I were driving home last night, after having an amazing and relaxing weekend at my parents house in Boynton Beach, when we were rear ended on I95.  We were going about 70 and who knows how fast the other car was going.  He rammed right into us and then drove off as fast as he could go.  We are all thankfully all okay and it was late at night so there were no other cars on the road, and we got safely to the side.
James and I have a little back pain but Layla was perfectly fine as well as our Basset Hound, Dude.

There were not enough kisses and "I love you"'s from us when we knew we were safe.  Layla was confused of course why Mommy and Daddy were crying and kissing her little face as much as they could.  She is such a trooper and all of it didn't even face her, even staying awake until after 2am so she could get checked out at the ER.

Family is the most blessed and amazing gift you can have in your life and that is why i am writing this today.  Just stop for a moment today and kiss and hug the ones you love, you have no idea what the next day could bring or take away.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Signing Baby

     I know most mothers want to use sign language with there babies, it's on your To Do list of awesome mothering techniques your are going to use once your baby is born.  Then you have your baby, and in between diapers, feedings, spit up, crawling, walking, reading and everything else that happens in a babies life, you kind of get side tracked, and that baby sign language just doesn't seem as important or as easy to do as it did before your little munchkin actually arrived. 

I am here to say that it really is so much easier than you probably think.

All you really have to do is learn a couple signs for words you use pretty often and then when you are saying these words aloud implement the Sign along with it.

One of my FAVORITE websites for Baby Sign Language is...

http://www.babysignlanguage.com/basics/getting-started/

This is where i have learned all the sign i use with Layla and all the basics for starting to use sign on an everyday basis.

Start Simple. With about 5 Signs.
What words do you say most often to your baby during the day?

1."Bottle" or "Milk", I use the sign for "milk" for bottle and you can also
 use it when you breastfeed, and when your baby starts
drinking actual milk, they already know the sign.


2. "More"-  This is most kids favorite signs and it is a very simple one, you can use this when you are giving them food or reading them a book.  Whenever you are giving them the option if having "more" of something!




3. "Finished" or "done"- This one is one of my favorites,
you can use it at all the same times you can use "more",
when your asking if he is "finished" eating.  Or if he is "done"
reading that book.

4. "Mommy"- Of course this is going to be one of the first signs you want your little one to learn, it was the first one i taught to Layla!

5. "Daddy", is very similar to "Mommy", most female and male signs are the same sign, the male sign is just done above the nose and then female below.  So the sign for "Daddy" is the same as the sign for "Mommy", just above the nose:-)





     Those are 5 Great signs to start off with.  As your Baby grows then you can teach them more and more signs.  I recommend always saying the word along with signing it.  The website i use has many more signs and even video showing you how to do the signs if it is hard to tell exactly from the picture!

Later This Week I am going to go into why signing with your baby is so beneficial, and maybe even show you a couple more fun signs to use throughout your Day!

I hope you all enjoyed this Post, Layla is up from Nap now though, so it is time for me to go:-)

Have a Wonderful day and here is your Cozy Thought.

Mama's Cozy Boutique

http://www.etsy.com/shop/MamasCozyBoutique

                                                                                                                                                                  I started Mama's Cozy Boutique about 6 months ago, honestly only learning how to knit a small time before i started my business.  The name was originally MommyMade but was recently changed to the ever charming Mama's Cozy Boutique that goes oh so sweetly paired up with Mama's Cozy Corner.  I started small creating baby scarfs.

 After my creating quite a few baby scarves, people started requesting headbands.  I didn't think i was going to be able to deliver the kind of product people were looking for.  To my surprise, i loved creating the headbands and couldn't wait to show them off on my baby girl.  As soon as i started showing them off, people started to show more interest and i decided to add them to my Etsy page and make them part of Mama's Cozy Boutique's regular inventory.            



After the Headbands came The scarf and Headband sets, which are one of my personal favorites as well as beanies.

And Mama's Cozy Boutique decided not to stop at knitted items and expanded to Custom hand painted wine glasses.

And Now candle holders/vases.

Some new items from Mama's Cozy Boutique include headbands with removable bows that can be worn with or without the Headbands!!

Check out the shop and Remember i can Custom Make any of the above Items:-)  Have a wonderfully Fantastic Day and here's your Cozy Thought for the Day!
