Disney Princess Bubble Blowing Tea Party Set-

When 1st discovering this toy I thought it could A) Turn out to be extremely fun & memorable for my girls since they just adore bubble & te parties OR B) Just be a total bomb & make a huge mess. Well, I am happy to report that on a scale of 1 to 10, this product blew me away (lol)! The girls absolutely loved it & it was actually less messy then most bubble contraptions. This is a MUST if you have lil' toddler girls. Fun Fun Fun! I would recommend adding Gymboree bubble solution instead to make it even more fun (they are the best bubbles ever & take more time to pop).

My lil' teether surrounded by bubbles!

She forgot the solution
 was on her fingers, Yuck!

Daddy's Our King!

My husband has got to feel like the greatest dad in the world. It is so cute, every time my daughters see a really buff masculine toy they say, "Look, it's Dada!". Firefighter, robot, solider, it does not matter because its all daddy to them. The other night Aidann was saying how her and her sisters were princesses & I was a really big princess & daddy was our king! lol.

It is such a huge honor to be a father or the primary male figure in a young child's life. Not just an honor but also a HUGE responsibility that should definitely not be taken lightly. A young girl is going to look up to that male figure as a blueprint for how she should allow men to treat her in the future & the husband she will eventually marry. A young boy is going to look up to that male role model to see how he should act (the way he talks, treats women, his work ethic, etc), most likely he is going to grow up to be just like him good or bad.

I have heard many mothers complain how their husbands are not involved & do not really participate in the different tasks required in raising kids (i.e. diaper changing, discipline, etc). As hard as it sounds, just keep believing its going to turn around. Let him know how much it would help you out if he could help out just a lil' bit more with this or that & how much it would benefit you. Also, be careful how you communicate this. The tone of your voice is key, not nagging or screaming. Its up to him how he chooses respond from there. Be sure you always praise him for what he does do to help out, however small it may be. Sometimes it may take baby steps to get there, but with men words go a long way. You keep lifting him up & encouraging him & he will want to do more. Be patient with him. We are definitely 2 different breeds.

The male role model is so important to have in a child's life. While the actual father being there is not always possible or the most ideal, there are grandpas, uncles, teachers, church members, or family friends that often are willing to step up & step in there.

Hairy Situations

I think I have touched on it before, my oldest daughter's great dislike for hair. Ever since she noticed she had hair permanently attached to her arms, she has been absolutely disgusted lol. Every time a piece of hair gets stuck to her fingers, even if its her own, she has to stop everything until the situation is resolved. If any of her hair falls out in the bathtub, she will say "Ahhh! My hair come out, please get it back in!". Its actually kind of funny to watch lol.

Well, recently I have noticed a new thing with Asher too. We were all playing in the front playroom when I thought she kept running up to me to give me a sweet hugs. Then she would run & "hug" Aidann, Austin, daddy, & then run back to me. After like her 3 round, I noticed she wasn't running up to actually hug us but feel our hair! Lol. Thinking back now, I realize she has been doing this for awhile now. She is also obsessed with brushing her hair. That would be all fine & dandy for most kids, but not when you have beautiful, curly, & thick hair like Asher. Once that comb goes in, good luck getting it back out lol. Despite how many times that thing has got stuck in there, she still continues to obsess about wanting to brush through her own hair-lol!

Hilarious, I have 1 kid who just loves her & the other kiddo...Not so much. :) Good times....
