yeah, I remember the first time a few months ago i came in "contact" I guess you could say with that. Well, I had before, sort of, and just did not realize.. Its hard to explain.

I am proud of you though!

some things i like to do to keep the Baby happy:

-anything you would do for a child normally. Crayons and paper, fingerpaints, DISNEY MOVIES, playing with an animal, bubble bath, kids toothpaste...video games, if she or he likes them.

-we have two teddys and a blankie. And, baby is feircely attached to teddy. baby beilevs teddys have souls and feelings and so always makes sure that they arent shoved inder the bed or stuff like that.

- try giving the little something to be responsible for herself too, once you are more in touch. Maybe get a fish or something that she can feed once a day. Judge this on age of course and see if you can come up with something reasonable and appropriate. start small , too.

-take time. Time for the bad feelings to just be is just as important as time for the good ones. sometimes, Baby just wants to curl up and cry and nothing will help because it just has to come out.

- find out what your little likes. surprise them with it if you can.

I have tons more ideas, want more?
