“Parent’ Ideas” participate in a competition

Internet Community "Mothers' Blogs" has launched its first competition. And notwithstanding the fact that officially we are on holiday, we could not but take part in it! The terms of the competition are the following: "interesting mummies' talks in which you participate or hear on the children's playground, some not quite ordinary situations that you are living each day". The prizes for the competition are given by “A Store for a Mother and Her Little One" and Maria Klimova, the author of the book "Talks in a Sandpit, ot Stories from Mothers' Life".

And here is our story for the competition:

The first recollections after the child's birth are always very sweet and memorable: in two hours after Soniya's birth (though then we did not know that it would be Soniya :) ) my husband came to the hospital and brought us a huge bouquet of orange roses, the first night with a baby (who is not within but beside you!) – I am afraid to fall asleep as what if the child will want to eat, in the afternoon I am keeping our little one under the sun rays falling through the window – a treatment for inogenous jaundice, I am a bit worried but I know that everything will be fine…

There was something else.

Among 1-, 2-, 3-bed wards, I chose the one for two people: there is always someone to ask for help and advice if needed. Unfortunately, my roommate was Читать дальше…

Adults and Kids Create Together, or the Eighth Meeting of the Art Group

Our holiday turned out to be postponed a little. So, let us share with you some more interesting stories from our life while we are still at home.

Much time has passed since we last had the meeting of the children's art-group! One child is ill then another one… But in May we decided that one of its Sundays will be definitely devoted to the children's meeting but… different circumstances interfered again.

We decided not to give up! And started to adjust the circumstances to us :) . Marina and Gulya had wanted to drop in at our place for a long time already. "So, we will hold the art meeting with them! And it does not matter that they are adults. They love kids so much :) " – I thought.

And again circumstances. I'd planned for us one kind of art but it did not happen: just did not have time to buy everything we could need (but everything was for the better – we'll leave that idea for the next meeting with kids :) ). But, frankly speaking, I was already sure that there would not be any art at all. But in the morning on Sunday Soniya (2 yrs) and I went to the florist's to buy some flowers for the creation of a festive atmosphere in our room!.. And my mind started to work, very quickly, inventing something (already on the previous day I'd felt the state of joy typical for such collective meetings, that is why "nothing" simply could not take place :) ).

That state increased when we conducted the first part of the meeting – the meditative one! And we started creating in that state of joy!

I offered Soniya, aunt Marina and aunt Gulya the main elements for the future cards: skeletonized leaves and butterflies which we'd bought together with flowers. And all the rest for the cards was what we'd got at home.

The cards turned out to be quite different!
