A Chart with Heart

One of the most amazing milestones for any child is the day they figure out how to stand on those two wobbly legs and put one foot in front of the other. When toddlers stand tall, mom and dad stand tall, full of pride and awe of their growing tot. Your little walker deserves to be acknowledged for their impressive accomplishments, and a simple way to do that every day is with a creative growth chart from eeboo.
Children will love to track their growth with these fantastically illustrated charts. Mom will appreciate the artistic touch the chart adds to the nursery and Dad, well, Dad can brag to all of his buddies when Junior measures up to the third tree branch or the yellow planet. There are over a dozen chart styles to choose from. Each chart comes with coordinating stickers to mark special occasions. Visit eeboo.com to find growth charts, as well as other fun products including sketchbooks, party games, puzzles, and more.
I Can Do It!

I think every mother looks forward to the day her child is potty trained. There are plenty of wonderful experiences to cherish while they’re still babes, but diaper changing certainly isn’t one of them. So we pull out all the stops, awarding stickers and candy for successful trips to the Jon, even turning it into a game with the help of some cheerios for target practice. Then finally, thank goodness, things click. Now, the last thing needed is a pesky belt to have to finagle when nature calls. Luckily, a smart mama faced this very dilemma when her little boy was potty training and went to work to solve the problem. The results? An ingenious line of belts that kids can fasten themselves, appropriately named Myself Belts.
Myself Belts are not only a revolutionary concept in children’s wear, but they are also stylish and cool. Kids won’t fuss about wearing one of these fun belts, especially when they can fasten them all by themselves!
Peekaboo Picks Readers receive free shipping when you purchase 2 or more belts at MyselfBelts.com.
