Kidding (sort of). Baby-proofing is extremely tricky. Once you think you have it figured out, those little explorers beat the system again and again. The climbing is the worst. What are you supposed to do? Remove all of your furniture and turn your house into kiddie playland? My toddler twins love climbing on the couch and waving out the window to people passing by; of course it’s accompanied by the sweetest sounding “hi.” Because of this, I’ve had to take the cushions off and line the floor with them. This helps, but then the jumping on the cushions begins. Sigh. Then I thought, what about a major distraction? Insert ball tent with tunnel that takes up my entire living room.

Oh well, I’ll just have to accept the fact that this is what it is until they move out.

On my recent trip from Chicago (where LLD newly opened shop this February) I metan adorable two year old girl  on my flight and quickly introduced hermother to the Lazoo app. She was fussy and crying sitting on her mother’s lap,but her eyes opened wide and the tears stopped as she watched in awe of theocean picture in front of her on my iPad.  We made swiggles in the waves, painted asun in her favorite color yellow, and made fishy faces. Next we tried out thetree with bird. We drew nests for all the mama birds and added baby birds tothe mix. Our last project was the free draw where we drew a spider crawling up awater spout, I sang as she looked on in awe. Itsy, bitsy spider crawled up thewater spout…

This app was a life saver! It helped divert the child’s uneasiness intocreative thinking. Not only did it encourage interest, openness and positiveemotion it made all the other travelers nearby smile as the child calmed down:)
