Padded floor mat is a welcome addition to Massimo's bedroom

The padded numbers and letters that Massimo is sitting on have been a big hit ever since they were laid down on the floor. Believe me, these are much more functional than you may originally think. Not only can your child learn numbers and letters as they play with them, they also double as simple puzzles, helping your child become familiar with shapes and colors. Finally, they are not only a big benefit when it comes to learninig, but they also provide a nice padding to protect their heads against all those inevitable little falls (sometimes not so little) and tumbles.

Amazon is a great place to shop for these padded mats...you probably wont find them anywhere else cheaper. Please use the direct link next to the photo below or the Amazon link to the right to help you find this padded mat as well as many other intellectual and helpful products for your children.

Another photo of the capri pants set

I found another photo that shows the capri pants from the Daffy's set mentioned in the last post. The photo is only from the back but you get a good idea of how well the set goes together...and for only $15!

Good bargains can be found at Daffy's

Although this store is often unorganized, crowded and an outright mess, Daffy's offers some very good bargains. This multi-color Euro-style button down shirt is a great change from the typical toddler clothing. It was sold as a set with a pair of lime green Capri pants (not shown here) for only $15!!!

You may have to visit the store more often than you like because inventory turnover is high but if your child can look this stylish for just $15 it is worth the effort.

First Post...

Although the profile photo is not the best photo for showing off this stylish shirt from Baby Gap, it is a great photo of Massimo. After all, being an aspiring model means not only do the clothes have to look good, but the person wearing them also has to look good.

I admit, the first post should be more inspiring but you have to start somewhere.
