I don't know if you're a mommy or daddy that needs your cuppa joe every morning to be able to function properly, but this is for you! Funny! (I'm into chai tea myself!)

Baby proof your computer

"As babies smash on the keyboard, colored shapes, letters and numbers appear on the screen. Baby Smash will lock out the Windows Key, as well as Ctrl-Esc and Alt-Tab so your baby can't get out of the application..." Click here for more information on "Babysmash"! My brother-in-law said my nephew loves this.

Laughter

I have heard it said that a preschooler laughs about 400 times a day, while an adult laughs an average of 10 times per day. Children are typically joyful beings, and I think we can learn from them. I happened across an article about the benefits of laughter and thought I would share them.

~Laughter relieves physical tension, leaving muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes.

~Laughter boosts the immune system, decreasing stress hormones and increasing immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies.

~Laughter releases endorphins, elevates your mood, and enhances communication.

~Laughter protects the heart, improving blood flow.

Kindermusik provides many opportunities for you to share a laugh with children, so make sure to sign up for next semester's classes. You can get information on that here
