GoodNight Moon, this book & 10 Minutes Till Bedtime (also by this author-strongly recommend) This is a charming little story of a zookeeper closing up the zoo. Little did he know the gorilla... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~344092020356 Thu, 5 Apr 2007 22:23:09 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_344092020356?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_343974252164?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - I would have never guessed this simple book could be my son's favorite. It's a quick rhyming story about a big truck getting stuck. He is 2yrs old. He talks along when the book is read to him..."green car.....blue van..." Today he stood atop a play... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~343974252164 Thu, 5 Apr 2007 17:08:15 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_343974252164?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340141248132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - I like this swing. I purchased mine off an auction site. Love the adjustable speeds. Love the timer. My fist son didn't care for this swing, but #2 loves it. It is rather large, but worth it if you have a baby with colic... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340141248132 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:48:12 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340141248132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340139544196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - I bought this off a local classified listing. My son is 2yr old & 35 pounds, but he is too little to rock this horse. He loves it when I rock him, but can't budge this bad boy on his own. That is fine with me at the moment because it is a very long way... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340139544196 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:36:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340139544196?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340138495620?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - My husband went nuts when I told him I wanted to get a kitchen for our son. Then I found this one & it eased his pain. My 2yr old adores this kitchen. There is so much to do he spends hours (divided time) each day playing with it. We thought we would... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340138495620 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:27:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340138495620?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340138167940?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - Ok...I have a confession....my husband makes Pampers :) My 18mo old started leaking every night in his Pampers. I tried every type & the Luvs too. All leaked. EVERY night. Then I found these Huggies. Oh my goodness! No leaks. I just could not be... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340138167940 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:23:23 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340138167940?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340118703748?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - I put this together in 1 hour. Not too bad. No tools required. Use: My 2yr old son doesn't like it. His feet fall off the peddles & get stuck in the wheel. I tried hooking elastic/velcro straps to it, but they won't stay on either. The peddles spin... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340118703748 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 17:02:04 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340118703748?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340117982852?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - My son has been mowing the sidewalks in our town for over a year now. He just runs this thing up & down the street all day long. He will often wave to neighbors as he passes. Great toy to get them out & about, up &... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340117982852 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:53:51 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340117982852?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340117720708?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - Best toy I have ever purchased. Son loved it at 6mo, still loves it at 2yr. Great for learning to stand. Lots of sensory stimulation. Just a great toy. You can set it on the floor until they want to start... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340117720708 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:51:19 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340117720708?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340117458564?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - My son loves this toy. It has been his favorite since he was 12mo old & able to try walking with it. He is now 2 & plays with it EVERY day. (if you have a tot you know that is a big deal & rare thing) He states "going shopping" then goes around the... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340117458564 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:48:53 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340117458564?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340116999812?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - We love this wagon. My 2 yr old will push it around until I drag him away. I use it to pull weeks. Hubby uses it to carry water buckets to the garden. Super sturdy. Built to last. No rust on ours & we keep it outside + carry water in it Great... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340116999812 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:44:46 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340116999812?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340116672132?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - We bought this because we have wood spindle rails. My hubby created a wood fasten system that protects our rails. We have one at top & bottom of the stairs. I am so glad we found this set. Very strong. Everyone who comes by wants to know about how we did... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340116672132 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:42:02 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340116672132?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340116475524?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - I wish I knew about these with my first child. I have used it at the bedside for a co sleeper for my second & I just love it. Perfect for trips, naps at playdates, play yard on the deck. It's just a must have. My only complaint is that the pad cover... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340116475524 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:39:25 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340116475524?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340115885700?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - I love this car seat. I can't think of a con other then the high price. Straps adjust easily. I can move it from car to car alone (I am petite, weak :) Super padded for an extra comfy ride. We have traveled cross country. Never a complaint from my son... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~340115885700 Wed, 28 Mar 2007 16:35:28 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_340115885700?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_340115426948?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - I don't know how I would have survived without this! You will just love it. No need to wake sleeping baby to put them in a stroller or carry them about. Straps are easy to adjust. Can put it in a shopping cart while older child rides in front.

My kids are infants & only 18mo apart. This stroller gets through clothes racks a side by side will not. Easily opens/closes. Great parent console. Great drink tray for the kids.

Bottom line is they make great music. Natalie's voice is beautiful. This CD seems a bit "moody" & "dark", but who can blame them for... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~338976411268 Mon, 26 Mar 2007 11:26:20 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_338976411268?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_338746904196?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author bectrek - My 2yr old has a lot of Thomas & this is his fav for some reason. The cement mixer tends to tip off the tracks a bit, but he doesn't seem to mind.

It's almost self propelled :) I considered this one or the Bob double. I prefer the Bob's sunshade but couldn't bring myself to spend that much on a stroller. Pros: -Swivel front wheel is a dream. I never lock mine.
