Fun can be described in so many ways with teaching being a part of it. Kids love coloring. Kids love sharing. Kids love praise. Encourage this! Three months ago, my son went to day care for the first time. The outcome? My son is highly helpful, respectful and just at 29 months, knew what letter his first name started with as well as how to identify his name. She even replied he is "ready for kindergarten" which I was impressed. I never realized that as I just spend time with him. I am actually at the point where I don't want to raise a genius. I saw so many articles on how to raise little Einsteins and that sounds fun and easy in theory but the way my life is set up I just can't do that.

I am sure as women of child bearing age you know all about "The Zika" so I will try as clam down as much information as possible before "the BOI" wakes up from his very early nap. The Zika has been plastered all over the news since the beginning of this year mostly but some in the later part of last year as we, being in Chicago have not paid it too much attention. Mainly, because it is a virus distributed by mosquitoes which we don't see around these parts until May or sometimes as early as April if you are 2012 Chicago. The zika virus was said to have developed in South America cause a mass hysteria of babies with microcephaly observe. . . Taken from website:  http://newsyac.com/2016/...
