Daylight Savings time ends this Sunday, November 6th. Most of us will “fall back” our clocks for an extra hour of sleep. However, for most little kids this means an early rising. A child that wakes up at 6:30am will now be waking up at 5:30am. Not the extra hour we parents need and look forward to!!

Here are a few things you can do to help your little one adjust to the time change. For more information on kids adjusting to the time change or sleep training your baby visit the blog.

1. Make naps a priority. One key to a good night’s sleep is a well-rested baby. Keeping naps on schedule and giving your baby plenty of daylight in between naps will help with the adjustment.

2. Keep your bedtime routine consistent. Keeping your same bedtime routine will help your little one know it’s time for bed. Kids thrive on consistency and keeping with the routine is soothing to them.

3. Morning walks. If possible get outside and go for a walk in the morning. If it’s too cold to go outside open up the curtains and sit in the sunshine.

Happy Halloween!!

Halloween is just around the corner! Are you still stumped for costume ideas? 做厙AV is here to help, with our favorite costumes that kids can make themselves with a parent or nannys help.

1) M&Ms/Skittles bag: With some felt, carefully cut out circles of “candy.” Next, sew or glue the candy pieces onto a black (M&M) or red (Skittle) outfit. Your kids will transform into little packets of their favorite candy!

2) Bubble bath: Cut the bottom out of an inflatable kiddie pool to go around your childs waist and attach suspenders so it stays up, then glue on some small balloons to look like bubbles.

3) Pig in a blanket: All you need to turn your kid into an adorable little piglet are pink clothes and some easy homemade pig ears and nose. Then wrap them up in a blanket and youre all set!

4) Raining cats and dogs: Dress your child in rainboots and a raincoat, and attach felt cat and dog shapes to an umbrella. Theyll love that its punny!

5) Watercolors: All you need is a kicky felt beret, and a paper or felt poncho with round patches glued on to look like a watercolor palette.

6) Sailor: Dress them up in stripes and a sailor hat, then fashion a boat out of paper and hang it around your childs waist like you would with the bubble bath costume mentioned above.

7) Wind-up doll: Dress your child up like a little doll, and attach a big paper key to their back. You can even try turning it and getting them to dance!

8) Hot-air balloon: A laundry basket with the bottom cut out and a balloon attached should do the trick.

9) Rain cloud: Dress their torso in white felt or a ton of cotton balls, and attach little blue paper raindrops to their legs. It may seem dreary, but we promise itll be cute!

Happy and safe trick or treating!
