Traditional baby bath rings can be no fun for baby, especially as he begins to sit up and move more independently. Not only is a hard plastic bath seat uncomfortable against his body, it restricts him from reaching for toys, splashing bubbles and exploring the watery spaces around him.

Shouldn’t the bath be a place for baby to stretch his little arms and legs, develop muscles and become more coordinated? He should be splashing and playing in the bubbles, not sitting or writhing in a restrictive bath seat!

Of course, safety comes first during bath time. That’s why you strap baby into a bath ring or bath seat in the first place. But once baby starts moving and exploring, a traditional bath seat doesn’t quite do the trick. Lots of parents can recall a time when baby boldly tried to stand up from his bath seat, only to tumble into mom or dad’s slippery, soapy hands. Imagine how stressful that experience would be if you were bathing another child while your little one was busy trying to escape from his bath ring!

The Papillon is a terrific product that keeps baby safe and stable, but also lets him explore and have fun. Make bath time more fun for baby and relaxing for you with the Papillon. Simply tie the soft, floating bath ring around baby’s waist and let him splash and play while you bathe your older child. Get two kids clean at once and enjoy all the soft snuggling to follow!

Unfortunately, it’s hard to count your blessings when you’re busy paying bills, running errands, going to work and raising children. The frenzy seems to double between October and December, as we set out to acquire new things designed to make the holidays cozier and sweeter. Our kids are watching. And if we’re not careful, they, too, will get wrapped up in the frenzy and forget to be thankful.

The truth is we’ve got to make time for gratitude. Otherwise, our kids will never learn to be grateful for the most important things in their lives, like family, friends, food and shelter. Shouldn’t we be doing this every day? Not just the third Thursday in November?

BabyAnywhere.com baby online store suggests we all put down our shopping lists and “To-Do” reminders, turn on some nice music, light a candle and get grateful! Snuggle your babies (they won’t be this little forever!), hug your children and talk with your friends and family!  Enjoy the holidays for what they really are, not for what our televisions and catalogs tell us they’re supposed to be.

Make it fun for your kids by doing Thanksgiving crafts, singing songs like ‘Tis a Gift to be Simple and talking as a family about what you’re grateful for. Play “Things to be Grateful for Starting with A,” then, B, and so on. Get your kids to draw pictures of the people they are most thankful for and encourage older ones to think of all the things they love about younger siblings.

Enjoy your children and enjoy the holidays.  Make every day Thanksgiving!
