Heelarious Heels for babies


Six-month-old Zander Bauer

A friend sent a link to a new baby product called Heelarious Heels, a soft shoe that is actually a bootie designed simulate a high heel. The completely soft bootie is designed only for baby girls up to 6 months old and comes in 5 different styles. An interesting concept, but not one that I think I am comfortable with even for a crib shoe. Would you put a pair of these on your little one? Please share your thoughts in the comments!

Schools out for summer

While the kidlets are jumping up and down for joy after school lets out for the summer, you may feel ready to jump out the window. These days it’s common for young people — especially those of a generation raised in front of the tube and not expected to do as many house chores — to find it difficult to engage themselves in positive activities. As a result, children are spending an unprecedented amount of time with electronics, and less time with traditional creative discovery, such as crafts, role-playing and exploring the outdoors.

Luckily, it isn’t that difficult to get kids engaged and excited about activities that teach and enrich, as well as amuse. Parents just may need a little inspiration. What are the activities you are engaging your children in this summer? On the Baby University forum there are a couple of those discussions going on now, you’re invited to join in. :)

How have your kids been keeping busy this summer?

When do your kids go back to school?
