Baby Fashion & Trends – Chic Blog

One of my favorite parenting books is Playful Parenting by Lawrence J. Cohen, Ph.D.  He is a licensed Psychologist specializing in children’s play and play therapy.  In creating this section in our blog, I am hoping to provide a resource of creative ideas to handle the everyday life as a parent. 

We all have those days when things seem so overwhelming and we don’t think we can handle anything else.  Those are the days when it is almost impossible to think of productive and creative ways to solve issues.  By coming to this site, we can provide a forum for sharing creative (outside of the box) ideas to make our lives easier.

Each week, I will feature a new creative play activity for newborns and toddlers.  These activities will be focused around developmental building blocks, bonding time, and cooperation.  Some of these ideas will be the miracle cure for your battles and some will only be a building block to another possible solution.  Some days you might even find some stories that will make you smile, as you read about life as a parent. 

In Lawrence Cohen’s book he points out the following,

• Express and understand complex emotions
• Break through shyness, anger, and fear
• Empower themselves and respect diversity
• Play their way through sibling rivalry
• Cooperate without power struggles
  

Nothing in this life is straightforward, so together we can learn ways to teach our children and ourselves how to get along in this crazy life.  Jimmy Buffet describes people best in his song, Fruitcakes, “There is a little bit of fruitcake left in everyone of us”.    Have a very fruitful day!

Baby feet are just too irresistible; maybe it’s those tiny toes that we eagerly count the moment they are born. Whatever the reason, it’s hard not to tickle those tiny tootsies or count each teeny toe. Only babies can get other people to kiss their feet, which proves the power of those precious piggies. Just like the piggies, baby socks and shoes seem to create squeals of delight from people too. There’s just something too cute about miniature socks and shoes that replicate the trendy styles created for adults. Make something little and it instantly becomes a must-have. While there are a lot of adorable baby outfits and baby clothes for your little love, the shoes or socks can often be the icing on that sweet little look.

Here are just a few tempting choices to tickle your foot fancy:

Suzie Qs Socks by Trumpette – pink and perfect for a precious little girl. These will keep her feet looking pretty without the need for shoes.

Cowboy Socks by Trumpette – there’s a new style in town, and it’s name is seriously cute. These will keep his feet protected from no good icy feet.
